Hi, my 2016 XSR900 seems to have a rather notchy gear change too. I have tightened the chain to within spec and that seems to have made it worse, chain is kept well lubed. The clutch cable is lubed and correctly adjusted. Recently returned to riding. In the 1980s could adjust chains so bike wouldn't even "snick" when put into 1st gear. I have tried quicker, slower, preloading the shift lever before using the clutch, ensuring the throttle is fully closed. It is smooth under gentle acceleration through the gears in town, some shifts i hear and feel nothing notchy it can be that smooth.
