My transmission is feeling a little rough when shifting between 1st and 3rd, 3rd-6th feel fine. When shifting down from 2nd to 1st I can feel neutral catch a little bit between them. Is this bent shift forks? Not long before my blaster was torn down I got some water in the tranny doing wheelies through a river and thats when this all started. I drained my oil as soon as I got home from riding that day and it was milky, so I filled it and rode it around for a second then dumped it to flush it out. I rode it a few more times then it sat for 2 years. Its no worse than it was when I parked it, just annoying me now.

Well, you could start by checking the external shift mech. Star screw tight? Pawl and spring good? If you pull shift shaft to check straightness, clean shaft very well then smear some grease on it. If that isn't it then you'll have to split cases and look for bad fork, burrs where fork rides on gears, or a gear that doesn't slide well.
