Starting in gear ..

[frostyuk]

Hi all

quick question ... if you start your x in gear standing by the bike as opposed to sitting on it does it lurch forward slightly? am trying to work out if this is normal behaviour or a result of my clutch lever change..... and am being lazy by not swapping the old lever and cable back sat on the bike its not noticeable.

many thanks for your help

Hi,
I don't have an X but I'd say it's pretty normal. It'll just be drag created by the oil between the clutch plates and in the gear box (and I'm assuming you're holding the clutch lever in )
A case of 'Don't worry Sir, everything does that'

certainly got some drag on mine - just happy it's still gripping!
