If you are starting it on the sidestand then it must be in neutral so the clutch drag doesn't make any difference.
is it more than a bit dangerous to allow a child to start and rev a bike like that ?
if his foot got onto the gear lever , it would engage and although the sidestand switch will kill the motor , it wouldn't kill it soon enough to stop the engine's momentum sending the bike forward and off the sidestand.
The OP seems to suggest that he has a problem starting the bike from cold in neutral, as he states he eliminates it by putting it in first gear and pulling the clutch in. if that is the case it would suggest an issue with the gearbox having excess drag when cold.
Are you sure you are an "Engineer" ??????

Many people call themselves "Engineers"...Civil, Chemical,Sound,Electrical......etc....and then there are real Engineers.....
Define 'real Engineer'
So...I'm guessing you fall into "Civil, Chemical, Sound or Electrical" ?.........Much like a "Doctor of Philisophy" calling him/herself..."Doctor"......
Define 'real Engineer'
In exactly the same way as you would think 'real Doctor'. Without the accredited degree level qualification for those that have been in the industry for eons, there should be a demonstrable level of vocational experience regulated by an industry recognised body. IMO it should be illegal to call yourself an engineer without this.

I work in the gas industry as a gas engineer and registered. The definition for "engineer" is latin for "intelligent/clever person".
Plumber is also derived from the latin word "plum bum" the latin word for lead the material used for early pipework now outlawed in this country and most of the EU.. People who work in my industry are revered around the world and most sought after. Qualifications in this country in the gas profession are second to none in the UK.
