2006 Fz1 shifting issues

I purchased a used 06 w/18000 miles
I rode the bike for about 5 miles before buying and asked the seller of any issues and of course he said there was none
However, after a bout ten miles in a ride the transmission will not downshift back to 1st gear, it seems to get stuck between 4-3
If I shift through the gears w/engine off and on my stands it goes through them fine, both up and down.
owner claimed a steady diet of Amsoil and wix filter at 5000 intervals
Looks like he changed it for me, as it’s very clean
I drained a little this am to see if there was any Particles in the oil. Everything look clean. Clutch operation is fine no issues there, I don’t think. Any help would be appreciated
thanks
 
Found the problem

Corrosion and no lube in the pivot point of the shift lever and footpeg.
Cleaned and hit with sandpaper and scotchbrite. Lubed up with some grease and reaasembled.
Nice and smooth during my 15 mile test ride
