Hi ABC123. I understand your frustration with selecting first gear. I see this is your first bike as well. You should know, that almost every single motorcycle I've ever owned, from every manufacturer, you cannot select 1'st gear always when you are not actually moving. If you are standing still and try to get into 1st gear from 2nd for example, it won't always go. You do need to release the clutch just very slightly to get the cogs moving a little and it will snick into place.
If you can't get into 1'st AT ALL even from neutral, then you may have a problem... but just in general, selecting 1'st on a lot of motorcycles while idle does not always work. It's not a problem to be fixed, its just the way things are.
