Jumps when I put in first gear?

Well when i start off I pull in my clutch and push it down into 1st. An it lurches forward a little bit. I don't know what's wrong with it I tryed adjusting my clutch and no results.

Any input from you guys would help, thanks.

Is it your shifting? Your probably just going to fast when you shift into 1st, let her bog down more before you downshift.

It's right when I start out, I don't give it gas at all. I pull in the clutch and shift it down. I don't touch the throttle at all until I take off.

yeah, your clutch must be grabbing some i guess.. If its not bad i don't mess with it.

Mine did that. I replaced the clutch plates and springs and no longer does it.

So you have stock clutch plates? You should be able to adjust your clutch. Oh and does it do it even once you've been riding and the motor is warm?

that`s funny mine starting doing it after i switched the clutch and plates. goes away once it`s warmed up though.

If it stops after the motor is warm, I wouldn't worry about it. If it does it all the time, I would check for a grooved clutch basket.

My 2012 does this but ONLY when cold. Once warmed up it goes in like butter.
