Clunky gear changes in 1 & 2

Hi All,

I have an ´09/´10 model XVS1300A, and ever since I bought the bike second hand about 3 years ago, 1st & second gear have been very harsh when changing up or down. It seems to be slightly worse changing down. All other gear changes are as smooth as butter.

Was just wondering if any one has experienced a similar problem with a clunky gearbox and what their solution was.
