Just out of curiousity, why doesn't the bike "pop" start in 1st? Why should third gear work better? I remember pop starting my honda years ago but I cant remember what gear I used for it, I thought first gear but maybe I'm wrong.

It's quite a jarring force to the whole drive line and not to mention the motor popping the clutch in first gear. There is way less stress using 3rd or even fourth as Charley stated.
