Default Stock Clutch?

So I was racing a motocycle tonight(not sure why...just bored) but as I took off I had him in 1st and 2nd however shifting when I went to shift to third it wouldn't let me..It is the stock clutch and I know that the clutch can get hot but has this happened to anybody else? This has happened to me a few other times as well..do you think it is time to get an aftermarket clutch?
Thanks for the advice

Did the clutch pedal seem to be lazy and stick down towards the floor?

Nah - you just missed a shift. I've done it plenty of times.....my foot and hand aren't always on the same page.

Yah it felt just like that!! I do have a B&M ripper shifter but the clutch felt like it didn't want to come back up.

Do a search for "clutch pedal" and there will be 1000 threads about the clutch sticking to the floor.

Also do a search for "clutch fluid change, Ranger procedure" and it will show you how to change the fluid ... use DOT4. That is the first thing I'd try since it's easy to do.

Given the fact that your peddle didn't come back up, I replace that fluid......several times, until it's clear.
