It should start in gear just fine. This time of year, make sure you are running winter oil, and also, how long had you been running it or was it warmed up? IF it's cold and you have summer oil, yes, it can be grumpy about shifting smooth and staring in gear. Otherwise, I have no problems with mine.

Forged lightweight piston, connecting rod and crankshaft in the 686cc engine are light and strong, for a hard-hitting, quick-revving powerplant that revs all the way to 9000 RPM. Dual counterbalancers keep it smooth.

Yamaha fuel injection means consistently excellent engine performance in a wide range of conditions, elevations and temperatures.

Competition-spec dry sump lubrication system boosts usable horsepower and keeps overall engine size more compact.

16-bit electronic control unit controls fuel injection and ignition systems for consistent performance and fantastic throttle response.

Reliable, pushbutton electric start in any gear adds extra convenience.

Race-bred five-speed transmission with reverse, along with Raptor 700R’s monstrous powerband mean there’s a choice of gears in just about all situations.

YZ-spec ratchet shifter ensures smooth, resistance-free shifting under power. Heavy-duty clutch features extra sturdy basket and plates designed to harness the Raptor 700R’s power.

Easy-to-reach oil filter and tool-free air filter.
The above is from the yamaha website under features for the raptor 700. this should also be somewhere in your owner's manual also. If yours isnt doing it, take it back to the shop. Almost all sport bikes I have ridden since the late 80's will start in any gear. It would be, like a pain in the @ss and a huge 20yr step backwards for sport bikes (or just about any except maybe little kids' bikes) to NOT start in gear anymore.

usually when a quad is just started the cluthc plates don't have much oil between them so they stick more.. and when you put it in gear.. there is still just enoguh pressure between the plates to make it stall
