Sitting at a light, in neutral, when I go to put it in first gear itll feel like it shifted, but then it doesnt take off, and the neutral light will be slightly dim. I sometimes mess around with the shifter (shift up and then down) and then it finally gets into first gear.
This doesnt happen every single time, but a lot more than what I think is usual.
Is there an adjustment somewhere? I know theres some threads on the shifter rod, but would it make a real difference?
Anyways, just throwing it out there to see if anyones experienced this before.
Im just about to leave on my big trip in a few weeks so I want to iron out all these little bugs before I take off.
Thanks guys, i appreciate it

Most bikes go into first more easily if you down shift into 1st while the bike is still moving.That being said you should be in gear when your stopped at a light or stop sign so you can move quickly if the need arises.Also if you let your clutch lever out part way while shifting down into 1st it helps.
