down shift issue

sometimes i come to a stop and need to down shift to neutral or first. so i fully clutch it, kick it down, and it doesn't go into the lower gear. a second attempt feels like no mechanical resistance... if i let the clutch out very slowly, it clanks into that lower gear. then i repeat to get into the next lower gear. this only happens sometimes, usually when it's been ridden a while. is my oil too light? i'm using Motul 5100 in whatever weight the manual calls for. anyone have similar issues? any help? it's an 07 R6s, so i guess the same trannies from the 03~05 right?

Pretty standard. Shift as your rolling or feather the clutch..it's what bikes do..
