Hi, Tom, the best way to jump-start your bike is to use a jumper battery and cables, if available, before trying to push start:
1. Your battery connections must be clean and tight.
2. Jumper cables should have 8 or 6 gauge wire.
3. Only use a known good fully charged jumper battery.
4. When jumping from an automobile the engine "MUST" be off.
5. Connect the positive cable first.
6. Let the bike battery charge for 1 minute before starting.
7. Once the bike has started, remove the negative cable first.
8. If no battery is available you can try to push start.
9. Always look for a downhill slope if available.
10. Shift into 2nd gear clutch in and have someone push you then stand up on the footpegs and slam your buttocks into the seat exactly at the same time let the clutch lever out.

How does it sound when it sounds like it is jumping out of first gear. Need more information/description of the sound. It could be trap door bearings going but then one would expect the noise in all gears. I do not know if you are describing a bearing whine or growl or otherwise so it is hard to advise you. As the lower gears are in the middle of the transmission case there is an expectation that when things wear the noise from bearings etc will be greater from these gear sets. Post some more information about the sounds and anything else you notice or observe.
Yes, you can charge the battery by connecting your positive battery charging clamp to the post on the starter where the battery cable connects to it. Then connect the negative clamp to the engine somewhere.
shifter lever that connects to shifter pawl has some left to right wobble. Check bolt it is tight,so I shortened Rod between shifter lever 3 turns, now it shifts great. This winter will take apart and replace parts that are worn. Thanks for your help.
