2009 yfz 450 shifter stays down when I down shift???

I just bought this bike Monday off the showroom floor. It was a left over from last year. I only have 20 min of ride time on it. The bike shifts into first and through the higher gears w/out any trouble, but when I down shift the shifter will stay down.... It pops right back up if I tap the side of it with my boot. Does anyone know what's going on here? I was wondering if that oil seal that the shaft goes through may be binding it up, I wouldn't think that this brand new bike would have a bent shaft already. I called the dealership and thy said they couldn't get it in till mid august.

You go in there and start raising hell, They sold you a bike with problems and are going to make you wait to get it fixed. I would be sitting there with my bike and talking sh** about their shop to everyone

I saw at their place until they took care of it.

Like bot said, start raising hell. The last thing I would do is try and fix it myself. You bought a brand new quad, there is no reason you should be working on it. If they won't look at it now, then I woud go to the salesman and tell him you want to return it. I would not leave that dealership without getting what you want.
