you probably didn't get it all the away in to second gear. this usually happens when the shift dogs or worn out. Being a new bike, I doubt this is the problem. but if he keeps doing it. You might want to look at a warranty thing with the dealership.

I also thought that as a possibility. Maybe I didnt fully seat it into gear.

I moved the shift lever one spline so the lever is down a little from stock. For sure you didnt get it all the way into gear. this would happen on any bike except honda GP trans.

14 or 14R? I´ve slipped gears many many times on my 11 and 14. If you dont synchronize (thottle, clutch and leveler) your shifting properly, you can slip it. So no worries.

You can shift 1->2 even w/o clutch if you pre-load gear leveler gently and blib the throttle.

+2 , Don't think it was fully in gear. My 14R only poped out once and it was due to a "weak shift" at WOT...
