New boots?
Shifting the 6th gear properly, firmly enough? Being a bit too excited at high speed?
I had this issue on the ZX7R, I reversed the gear shifting pattern to 1 up and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 down, solved the issue. At very high speed, just stamping on the gear shifter is easier than lifting it, for some reason. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

How did you make this modification... sounds interesting. |
To avoid minutes of explaining stuff, this picture (3 seconds on google) explains it perfectly:*
*Attention!: It might take some getting used to it. I had reversed gear shifting pattern on every single motorcycle, that I owned. The issue came when I borrowed a motorcycle from my friend, who had the standard 1 down and 2, 3 ... up. After riding his motorcycle for a long period of time, I got back to mine. The first intersection, I accidentaly put it the 2nd gear (stepping on the gear shifter) and in the middle of the intersection (thinking I'm shifting the 2nd gear; lifting the shifter) I put it the first and nearly fell off the bike.
Anyway, I still find the reverse (some say GP, because when you're on the track, you may do left corners and still be able to upshift with no problem) pattern better. As said, it's easier to step on the shifter than lifting it to up shift. Making downshifts (lifting the shifter) is also very reassuring. You feel the mechanical click with every downshift. There's no doubt about shifting the right gears.
I think everyone should try it. If you have a motorcycle with such gear shifter (linkage), then reversing the gear shifting pattern is a matter of 2 minutes with a spanner.
