yep this is a fairly common problem. next time this happens just put it back in neutral squeeze the clutch in, let it back out then put it into 1st and 9/10 times it will go in no problem

ive never heard of a fix for it. its just one of those things you learn to deal with. me personally i always get my bike into gear while waiting so nothing like that happens.
