Mine does not shift up from 2nd (to 3rd, etc...) if it is not moving (i.e. rear wheel turning). If I recall correctly that is the correct behavior as described by the manual.
I have found that after some run in (about 200 miles) finding neutral is much easier. I had to adjust (tighten) the shift cable at the engine. Then needed a few rides with the engine hot to set the correct shift cable tension at the handlebar shift lever. In addition, I made sure that the shift cable was not moving about where is fastened by the rubber band at the down tube. This was to make sure that the cable was not moving around the down tube to get near the exhaust pipe and heating up.
