many things are going on

first, with only 2700 miles, the transmission is not completely run in yet, as you get more miles it will operate smoother

other things that affect shifting

oil, over filled on oil will cause shifting problems, also dirty oil will cause shifting problems

clutch adjustment... the clutch is adjusted under the sprocket cover, it's a screw & locknut adjustment, make sure the clutch is adjusted then adjust the clutch cable

shift linkage.. must be clean and freely operating, the shifter & linkage is probably the most abused part of your bike, it doesn't get fingertip finesse, its manipulated with a booted foot, it's also close to the ground where it is subjected to road grime, wet roads are severe service on the shift linkage
