1st to 2nd gear

I am having an issue with my Street 500 and was wondering if anyone else has the same problem.:(

When shifting from 1st into 2nd (sometimes) I hear and feel the click like the bike has gone into gear. When I roll on the throttle the bike ends up being in neutral. Sometimes the green N shows on the speedo sometimes not.

I am an experienced rider so I don't think it is me. I have made a point of really making sure that I am shifting clean and it still happens.

Anyone else?

Oh, and it seems to happen a bit more when the bike is warmed up.

No such issues here, but I hope you are shifting the gear with a firm action? It's possible that there is problem with the shifter mechanism. However, before you go back to HD, do attempt shifting the gears with a firm action, although it does seem redundant advice.
