Weird situation with my CT90 1967. I can only get to first off the kick start, after I am up and running, it seems like first is no longer there.

Also, I know it's N then 1234 down, or that it's supposed to be, but without fail, every time I start the bike I kick it to first by clicking down (or shifting up) which runs counter to every other CT90. After that all the other gears are down. But once I am in the initial first gear I no longer can shift back up to first. I find myself starting out of stop signs and what not out of 2nd quite a bit which sucks on hills.

Another recent issue is my bike has been dieing when I turn the lights on. It started out of nowhere and I charged the battery, but now it seems to still be bad. Often, with the ignition on, I will blip the horn to see if its on and the horn won't go but then I'll kick it and it will start and the horn then will work. Anyone know what light be the issue here?
