I hope you are joking about looking down to see if it is in first gear. For those who don't know, the shift lever always returns to the detent position after each shift is made. And you should always down shift to nuetral as you come to a stop if you have to wait, like for a light to change. If it's like at a stop sign, with no cross traffic, shift all the way down to first, and go. If it doesn't want to go in first, just rock the bike forwards and backwards while pressing down on the shift lever. It will go into first as soon as the gears line up
