Discovered that the other day when I got down to ground level and started pulling on things. I'm going to have to try that, thanks!
You'll be very pleased with the results...

I'm coming up stupid here, do I need to install the washers in front of the bracket? Behind?
You may also be experiencing fuel cut. Makes shifting jerky because the fuel injectors stop firing when your off the throttle. Do a search of FCE.
Thought about that too. I don't really want to spend the money for Ivan's FCE.
I was under the impression the fiel cut would be little or next to nothing on a 2012
The shifting on the FZ1 is harsh. My first one was harsh when I bought it, the second one was butter smooth the first 10-15 kilometers, then it started klonking and harsh shifting. Irritating as hell.

My experience is the opposite, notchy at first and smooth at 3K miles.
I read something about some axle cap in the clutch basket that has a tendency to fall off . This could lower the oil pressure necessary for shifting and cause the problem. Now i don't know a lot about engines but I have opened and changed clutch plates on a cbr 900 and a gixxer.
I wonder if there is any substance in the above.. i really don't want to waste time, effort and money on a hunch

Since you're coming from a Harley and "re-learning" how to shift... Why not change it up and get yourself a good set of rear-sets... Change your shift pattern to 1 up 5 down. You'd be surprised how smooth you can shift when you're pushing down instead of pulling up.
I know this is probably not feasible cost-wise but it works wonders for me.
I moved my lever down on my gen 1 and it helped some much... no more 2nd gear clunk! I would try it
