Can you come to a complete stop in 1st gear?
Do not leave it in first gear when at a stop When you do bring the car to a stop, do not leave in the car in first gear with your clutch pedal pressed in. This, again, will wear out the clutch and transmission parts over time, so we suggest just leaving the car in neutral with your foot on the brake.
Should you switch to neutral when stopped?

Yeah, don’t worry too much. As wadenelson said, try to go from 2nd to neutral when riding to a stop. Besides, it’s a lot better to shift between 1st and 2nd for some time instead of selecting neutral than I how my very first bike was. There used to be a neutral between all the gears when shifting up.
Is there a neutral between 1st and 2nd gears?
There used to be a neutral between all the gears when shifting up. So when shifting from 1st I could get neutral (between 1st and 2nd), 2nd gear (very unlikely ), neutral (between 2nd and 3rd, most likely ), 3rd gear or neutral (the one between 3rd and 4th).
