Cold engine first gear clunk can be completely avoided by pulling the clutch lever and holding it at the grip for 5 seconds before putting it in 1st. It should go in silently.
Don't do this on a warmed up engine, it can cause a clunk when everything is warmed up. For a quiet easy shift into first from neutral , the whole idea is to have the transmission input shaft not spinning at idle speed speed while the output shaft is stationary when you are stopped.
