Scrambler 1200 first gear selection?

[Shaun64]

Sometimes my 1200 scrambler Xe (2700 miles) won’t go into first gear, if I release the clutch lever and pull it in again it will then go into first gear,anyone else dad this problem?.

The problem was a dry clutch cable which I oiled until oil came out the other end of the cable it now selects gears lovely.

Chain adjustment being out can cause this also
