bad timing between throttle and foot - you only have to be slightly late and end forcing the gears in - not using clutch isnt neccesarily teh culprit either just being heavy footed with the shifter cab bend teh fork selectors .. slamming teh gears doing low gear wheelies also - ...bit like my shit typing :)
unless your chain is real slack, 1st & 2nd gear jumping usually means rounded/worn gears and bent forks - bugger eh

Ben I would say your book not being stamped is going to be your biggest hurdle. The fine print states bike must be serviced by a qualified mechanic. (They used to say it had to be an Authorised Suzuki dealer)
At such low kilometeres there should be no problem .............. but if their looking for an out thats what they will use. Just stay persistent and keep at it for there are many that have been knocked back at first then taken it further and finally got results. Good luck and let us know how you go ?
PS
By all means give your dealer a shot at it but if no luck go higher up the ladder ............ as they say "Don't talk to the shit when you can talk to the shovel"
Who says that ?

BTW not having a go at you just giving you some info that I have gathered over 35yrs of riding mate and from what I have seen with so many other riders including myself - I had one of the first ZX10s in the country and went through my first gearbox at 9000km - like suzuki they refused to cough up at first, but after persisting and through some contacts they ended up replacing the gear box and I paid the labour so as said above its worth persisting - when I had my first fireblade in 2002 same problem (caused by wheelies mainly) I had to ring Honda head office and got hold of the service manager after 3 weeks of persistance I got my geabox replaced - point was trying to make to you is: they see gearbox issues as abuse bottom line but do persist and good luck ,,,, and aprt from that I have no idea what age/year your bike is, how many K's (not supplied) or how you ride or who you are so dont really give a f*** :)

Ok... from this point forward, lets focus on anything constructive that people can add that might help Busaben. He's out on a limb here, probably feeling a bit vulnerable and I think he could use any tips we can provide.
If your comments aren't supportive, constructive or respectful - then they have no place here.

............. or in the outcome they don't repair under warranty certianly get a second quote on the cost of repair. As has been mentioned here previously some gears if not to badly worn or damaged can be undercut at a cost less than replacment with a better end result. 
Don't let it bother you Ben as there are plenty on here that will see you right rest assured
