As has been indicated... make sure its really in neutral.

Then start checking the various switches... the clutch switch and kickstand switch for example. Seems to me I had a similar problem once and it was a loose clutch switch connection.

Not sure what year you have, but my 99 will not shift into 2nd unless I'm rolling.

For the clutch, you might make sure you are in neutral.  Ive always been told to not trust the light, and sometimes it has been wrong on my bike.
