I have read some posts on "Clutch Basket Failures" on late model Comandos. I am not sure if my problem is related or not, so I started a new thread.
I have a 2013 Commando SF. It has a little over 3000 miles on the clock.
When I start the bike in first gear with the clutch fully pulled in (touching the handle bar) the bike lurches forward as it starts. This indicates to me that the clutch is not fully disengaged. This happens regardless of whether the clutch lever is In position 1,2,3 or 4. If I start the bike in neutral with the clutch pulled in, the problem disappears.
Oddly enough, when I drive off in first gear a have to let the clutch out to 50% or more before it has enough friction or grab to take off. The clutch doesn't appear to grab immediately which it should. Very Strange?
Are here any clutch adjustments outside of the clutch lever setting 1-4 settings, or do I need to pull things apart to see if I have the all-to-common clutch basket problems?
Any comments or suggestions welcome!
