It really makes you look cool when you do it at the dealer in front of the salesman that just sold it to you. With your wife on the back.

Yeah, I did that. Kickstand was up. I just killed it when I let out the clutch.

I know you say that all of them do it, but I haven't had that issue "yet". Generally back up, start the bike, shift into first and take off. I do however run full synthetics so that may be the reasoning for not seeing this issue.

First time I experienced the "lurch" was the first start up of the year.....almost went thru the garage wall!!

Scared the crap out of me. Putting it in neutral then "breaking" the drive train loose makes all the difference.

Flightdoc, next time you might want to try a little Nomad fore-play(whatever that is ???).

Man, Dabull, I understand the love, but that sounds like an issue that might need some attention.

(Even if I did it , I wouldn't talk about it ;), and I'm not sayin I've done it

). LMAO!
