Im not sure of your experience, so I don't mean to offend, but second gear takes more amount of force to get over netural and into gear than the others. It could be just not put in hard enough. If your using just plain shoes and not riding boots, you may not be getting a good shift.
I doubt thats it, but I've seen new riders do it, so I thought I would throw it out there. If it only does it time to time, it very well may be your just not getting it into gear with a good enough shift. if your not wearing boots, try wearing boots and see if the problem disapears.
I think you have to split the engine case on that bike as i dont think they started the removeable transmission unitl 04 with the 1000rr. So the job is pretty big. If your mechanically inclined, you may want to take in. the issue is it will probably cost 1 grand to fix a 50 dollar part.
It could a bent shift fork, but also could be a chipped gear. its pretty common as most people clutch up second gear wheelies and after time, it takes its toll on the gear. If it is a gear issue, it should kick out just about everytime you put power down. If it happens right after you put in gear, but you are able to reput it in and it stays, its probably either your shifting, or a bent fork.

Justasquid was reading my mind again as usual, and he was first to respond, (again, as usual), but I have to do what I usually do when that happens, which is: respond anyway.
I had this same thing happen to me when I first started riding my CBR, and while it didn't happen EVERY TIME I shifted, it did happen fairly often. It used to happen to me from fifth to sixth gear as well. Then I wore STEEL TOE BOOTS, and the problem went away Right Now. When I flick my foot up, (or down, for that matter) there is a succinct and immediate "click" response from my shift lever telling me she's in gear.
I suggest before you start tearing sh*t apart, you put on some decent footwear and give it one more go...
