Last summer we bought a 2012 G650GS for my daughter for her first bike. Has about 40K on it and we are third owner. She loves it and it is a great bike --but for one thing. I'm not sure if it is a problem or if "they all do that": When shifted into first from neutral, the whole bike lurches quite noticeably, as if the clutch is not fully disengaged. Does this cold or hot. Once in gear, shifts smoothly, with no missed shifts or false neutrals. Clutch seems to function OK and adjustment is correct per the manual.
My three previous boxers (airhead, hexed, camhead) did not do this.
Do we have a transmission problem? I'd appreciate feedback from another G650GS owner or technician?
