Hi,
My 99 FZS600 is exactly the same. 1st to 2nd at anything above 5k sounds like my wife engaging reverse gear!! It's normal for these apparently, the gearbox is just a bit rough unfortunately on these. I did oil change, clutch cable change, clean out the cable to pushrod actuator, reset and tension all to correct settings and it still does it! As the other guy said, short shift 1st to 2nd every time then give it some beans from then on!!!
