Shift issues

Good day everyone, Im new to MX and I have just purchased a bike not knowing anything about them and I took it for a ride, when I shift into 2nd gear it falls back out of gear.
Could anybody help me troubleshoot, or give me some ideas about where I should start or where you would start if it was your bike.
The bike is a 1988 CR125.
Please reply with constructive advice, and please be nice. Thanks guys. :)

I suspect the shifter isn't adjusted properly allowing you to fully shift the gear.
Make sure you have a ton of room for shifting clearance at the lever.
If it still falls out of gear and you're getting full lever travel, I suspect bent shift forks from 'standing' on the lever too much. -BIG DAN:thumb:
