Rev more.

You will have to rev quite high as it is a bit underpowered.

Or if you already do then better clutch control.

If you aint doing anything wrong then maybe your clutch is coming in too early?

Pull the clutch in all the way, engage first gear, and slowly let the clutch out without revving, and I do mean slowly At the bite point you will hear the clutch slipping and the revs will drop slightly from idle. If you hold the clutch here the bike will eventually stall, so pull the clutch in a little to get back to idle speed, rev the engine, and let the clutch out a little faster than before. You should now be moving forwards.

If the bite point is too far back i.e half the distance the clutch can travel or more, try untightening the cable until you can slip the clutch by moving it only with two fingers (when it stops at your other two fingers).

no the chain isn't on at the moment but the sprocket is spinning even in neutral. maybe it's a problem with the gearbox?

Has it got a cut-out switch on the prop stand? This stops you pulling away with the stand down - the electrics 'see' that you're in gear (neutral light out) and if it sees the prop stand is down it'll cut the ignition.

Not unless it's an american model.
