neutral to first.

[Martin Wilber]

@Martin Wilber My issue new was trying to get it into neutral. After the first oil change and clutch adjustment at the dealer, it became better but I still had an issue with 1st to Neutral or 2nd to Neutral. Somewhere around 1,000 miles, the issue left, so luckily it only bugged me for two weeks. Your issue should resolve pretty soon.

Thanks guys. I tried both techniques recommended with good results. The lights here in Kentucky are long. I agree that you have to be mindful of what is behind you prior to shifting into neutral.

My new rocket did that,however after first service it got much better and now is working like a dream at 1,000 miles on now . dont think you need to worry ok

Just pump the clutch a couple times before you try to put her in gear.
And as Ian stated make sure your clutch free play is correct. not enough and the fibers along with the steels will drag making her shift harder and noisy/grind/clunk.

I was having trouble with it jumping out of 1st gear after shifting into it from neutral. I followed warp9's advice and it has never occurred again since I began doing that about a year ago.

I never found pumping to be necessary once I learned to pop it into first as soon as I pulled in the clutch. If it was a hydraulic clutch I wouldn't care, but I figure the less wear and tear I put on the clutch cable the better. Just my thought about the cable. Did I say I hate cables!
