Tough shifting from 1st to 2nd?

[dickjewells]

I have a restored dream and new clutch cable but shifting from first to second is a nightmare. I have seen other post stating the forks could be bent and a mechanic friend of mine stated that the these old bikes needed certain type of oil (not synthetic) could the oil be the issue or should I have someone check the forks. Any idea on the cost of replacing the forks would be greatly appreciated.

The forks in these engines don't bend.
They wear at the gear contact area.
At times a 1st to 2nd shift problem is due to worn shift rollers and/or shift drum. ............lm
