Are you trying to change up when stationary? If so this rarely works well as both gearbox shafts need to be rotating to get gears easily.

Did the bike fall or tip over? Another member had a similar problem and it turned out to be a bent shifter.

Bike didn't fall, but first think what I''ll do is check springs and bend shifter... I don't want to believe it's gearbox
