Is it the gearbox or me ?

I've been riding for about two months now but I've driven cars for 18 odd years.  I'm confused by the way my bike is acting but I don't know if it's me or not (it's different to the gs500 I learnt on).

1st to 2nd is fine but clunky (the way I understand Fazers are)
The rest of the gears upward need working (sometimes I have to try twice) to get them in in gear.  I don't think it's my clutch control but I'm not 100% sure.

I pull the clutch lever in, move my toe up and the gear lever moves most of the way but doesn't click.  I release the clutch and try again and it does.  This happens too often and regularly for me to believe completely that it's my clutch control.

I think the play on the clutch lever is okay too.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what the problem is ?

Cheers
Simon

ps I also noticed this whilst trying to do clutchless gear changes up the box I think 4th is okay (but it could be one of the others, I'm not good at keeping track of the gear I'm in since it's a bit sticky), but 3rd, 5th and 6th just will not engage after preloading and rolling off the throttle.
