As long as the clutch is pulled in, the bike should start in gear.
There is a clutch safety switch, that might be giving you trouble.
What have you done to the bike? Completely stock?, new bars, etc?

I don't do that. Ever. Just answering the question. The most experienced tech I know explained it to me this way:
"Anybody who makes a habit of starting the bike in gear is eventually going to get exactly what he's asking for".

I brough the bike home from dealer and first thing I put new bars , grips and levers on. Must of done something to the switch. Thought maybe they done something different in 16. I know all my previous bikes would start in gear. I'll pull it back apart and look at it.
