In many of MT twins when gearbox/oil is cold, it's 2nd that is hard to engage until one warms it up in eg. 5min driving. Wouldn't worry on this.
Also, from not to worry things would be when driving at >5kmh, "hard to downshift from 2nd to 1st". IIRC it's by design, to prevent "money shifts". If one needs to downshift to first from second, while still going relatively fast (20-50kmh), better do throttle blip on downshift, for rev-match.
vladniko86: If it's 1st or 2nd, that hard to get in, my bet is that it's not that "common trait", but rather something else, most probably - slight clutch drag.
I'd check, if there isn't done some clutch pedal travel adjustment mod, and maybe revert it a bit, so that there is at least 1-2cm of "dead travel" before bite point.
as for OP, romendiratta: if you have it much harder to engage in compared to other twins, and it still seems too much resistance, i'd first try also if it's not clutch drag at fault, as it's relatively simple to adjust clutch pedal, and if not, maybe oil change. Regarding oil change, shifting feel might be made worse both by overfilling and underfilling, so worth ensuring car is level, when changing gearbox oil, as IIRC level is decided by filling hole (OEM: 2.2lr API GL-3 SAE 75W-90 | Toyota Genuine MG Gear Oil special II. I'm using Redline MTL GL4 70W80). How old is your car? If new enough and there is warranty, i'd also try to take it to dealership. If it's hard to get in gear, usually is because synchros not doing for whatever reason their job well. If it's old car you bought used and clutch drag is not at fault, i wonder if maybe synchros are worn?
