Can't select first until clutch is depressed

Pulse adrenaline new owner here.

Lately at stops I can't go down to first. It will go into neutral. However if I depress the clutch and try again then it will select first.

Is this a known thing?

Thanks

Mileage?

I would probably change oil at first.

Or look at the lever if it not stop on the frame or other obstacles. It can be that the mount screw is loose.

I had a similar problem on my Duke 390 when I first got it. Problem was is was not fully engaging gears. Hard to get into first when stopping at a light and would pop out of second into neutral. What was the problem?

The shift linkage, when kicking up or down it was not putting enough pressure to fully engage gears. I adjusted to get some of the play out (it should have some play) and bingo. Shifts great now.

So I would check your cable and shift linkage and make sure it is not to loose and is fully engaging/disengaging the clutch/gears.
