Gear changing

Hi everyone,
Owner of a brand new xtz which i've only managed to put a 150miles on the clock so far! traded in my transalp for it a couple of weeks ago (I thought that was a tall bike) and getting used to the big single.

A question I have is i'm having trouble shifting down from 3rd gear to first, it will go in to second no problem, but on my transalp i could easy skip second gear while slowing down or coming to a complete stop, but this bike refuses to do it.

Is this the same for all Tenere's or a problem with my bike? I can stop, let the clutch out all the way and then select first gear, but thats a bit of a pain as i have to shuffle around on the seat in order to get the right feet on the floor!

Regards to all.
