You might need to adjust you clutch cable.

@bill67 I will check the clutch cable thanks.
@Verslagen no sir I havent stomped the shifter at all I am really gentle when shifting skyblue but none the less she is still stubborn about upshifting so I was wondering why that is. But thanks for the feedback nonetheless. I will start with the clutch cable & pray that is the issue otherwise I will be lost like luggage at an airport.

I've learned to hold upward pressure until I dump the clutch, and it goes in every time. Try it, you'll like it !

Others say don't use the clutch....just let up on the throttle a touch and it'll pop right in.

If it wont shift easily w/o the clutch, it needs looked at. That little transmission is generally a smooth operator, w/ just a couple of "sometimes" hassles. A regular problem w/ shifting indicates a need for maintenance, to me. It oughta shift from 2nd to 5th, w/ no clutch, w/ shift times between gears so short as to almost sound like the engine just missed a beat. Time the toes comin up (or put a little preload on the shifter) to the throttle snapping off & it either shifts or something is wrong. All you gotta do is unload the gears in the tranny, no need to roll the throttle to idle position.

* I really havent a clue how I make the shifts when Im playing, I know I make a quick move with the ankle, but is it all timing? Is it some preload & then as soon as I feel it move, I apply the quick ankle move? IDK, but it works & works very well, except for the 2 to 1 or 1 to 2 shift. Too many RPM difference in there. It Can be done, but its hard to get it down to the point of being sure its not gonna jerk the bikes guts around, so I quit trying. I try to not wind up in the ditch because of a too tight to navigate learning curve.
