Clutch/starter Anomaly

[redrideronly]

This is a weird one... I noticed that something weird is happening under these conditions.

- first gear
- clutch pulled in
- key turned on
- kill switch turned off to prevent the bike from starting
- press the starter button

As the starter cranks the bike rocks forward a little

I thought it was the clutch but after examining the clutch lever adjuster and actually testing the clutch where it engages everything seams normal.

Now if i start the bike in neutral on flat pavement nothing rocks, but when i pull in the clutch then kick it in to first there is a slight jerk.

Now with the clutch pulled in and in first gear on flat pavement while pulsating the throttle to a high RPM, the bike does not move. (Which I would assume furthur indicated that the clutch is good. ) Is there somehting out of alightment in my crankcase or with the starter. OR do all bikes do this. and I just never noticed it before because was normally in the dirt on a slight slope with the brakes on....

Thanks
