Of course all the fundamentals must be in order too...pedals high enough to clear obstructions, yet not too high that you have to lift your foot...so make sure your controls are fitted and adjusted properly...just for starters.
Just a little bit of foot movement and it just immediately shifts to 2nd from 1st or vice versa if it is completely at a stop. I believe the bike fits me pretty well, I have the stock shifter I believe . . . .

Thanks - Mark!

Mark - Thanks!
