Default transmissoon problem...?

Ok..while i am riding if i dont always pay attention to my shifting i will pull up on lever with 1/2 the force and very seldom the tranny will go in between gears, while still holding the clutch i pull and its alittle harder to move and i just hear a CLANK and everything is fine.

Another problem along same line is when im coming to a stop is im doing like 5mph i put in neutral but sometimes when in neutral i push down but the lever doesnt move and i almost have to stop completely just to get into 1st. This bike is brand new 1300miles. Is this somewhat normal and i need to pay MORE attention to shifting hard everytime or could this be signs of a problem. Thanks for any info
