Do you Rev-Match? I usually can't get into first until I'm at about 10-13MPH, other than that, I haven't tried at higher speeds. I know guys that Road Race usually downshift to 1st.

There is a lockout mechanism that prevents you from downshifting into 1st if you are going too fast.

Mine's a little hard to get into first also. I've gotten in the habit of double clutching to get into first. That along with a nice rev-match should do the trick.
