I've had that gear problem somewhat on every bike I've owned (including the CB). I've never found a way around it -- there are no clutch adjustments on the CB save for putting the lever on its farthest position to give a longer throw -- and have just ingrained the habit to keep kicking for 1st if I'm stopping suddenly. I've never had a bike I could make shift into first from third at a standstill unless I feathered the clutch or rocked it forward and back a bit.
Oil, I always needed a pen flashlight to see it -- though running Motul 300v now I can see it, as it's neon green. Keep in mind that a normal "full" fill will only be visible when on the center stand.
