Default No grinding just hard to shift into 6th

Ok 1st I searched the board on 6th and hard shifting and no hits that match my issue(?).

Background - 07 ZR Grand Touring 6-sp with 13,400 miles.

1st thru 5th she shifts fine but 5th to 6th at times it just won't go into gear. It's almost as if there is no 6th gear and more than once I've ended up going into 4th instead. While at a stop I can go thru all gears just fine. This issue can happen from 55 on up to 80. Like I said there is no grinding it is just at times impossible to get her into 6th gear. After a few tries she finally will drop in.

Any insight? Monday I'm headed to the dealer while it is still under the 3 month 3,000 mile warrenty.
