i have a 2003 z400 just had to put a whole new bottom end on it because of a crank tranny screw up.... any ways when i hold the clutch in and shift it into gear it grabs and tries to go right as i shift inot gear but then its normal. i thought i didnt have it adjusted right but i tightened the cable to where the clutch was almost completely released before it wouldstart moving any thoughts? oil?

sounds to me like a worn clutch basket. the plates are sticking in the grooves causing the bike to lurch forward when put in gear even with the clutch pulled in.
