Silly question, do you have a side stand enlarger fitted?
If so then the gear lever could be fouling on that…. It did with mine.

There's not more that can foul the selector. When you go for 1st then 2nd,what exactly is happening.

As Steve said earlier.When you checked the side stand was the bike on its centre stand and the gear selector moved freely.If it did then remove the enlarger and take the bike for a spin.If that's what you've already done then it's a bit of a mystery I'm afraid.

Saying that,when it happened to me,I got 1'st then went up the box.Wouldn't come back down was my issue.When at home on centre stand(engine off)the gear selector worked perfectly.
