I have an 86 R and if I start it in 1st gear with the clutch pulled in, sometimes it will slowly roll forward once it starts. It will not roll forward thought if say i just came to a stop and let off the brakes with the clutch pulled in.

my tecate does this sometimes....is it hard to start if it is in 1st with the clutch pulled in? i am not sure what causes it and i dont really worry about it i think that it is just the clutch staying semi-engaged or the basket springs tightened unevenly :?

try adjusting your clutch cable, if that doesn't work check your clutches and clutch basket, etc.

It is not hard to start at all. I think a new clutch may have been put in it sometime before i got it cause the clutch cover gasket is fairly new looking. The lever has the proper freeplay, i dunno.

Ive seen grooved or notchy clutch outer baskets do this.

If the bike has been sitting for a while, it's also possible for the clutch plates to stick together a bit. Most likely, clutch freeplay needs to be adjusted.

for sure its the basket!!! maybe yr basket is grooved, and as discussed before, your plates are sticking together! file the basket a tad.. or replace..

Clutch doesnt fully disengage, and can be caused by grooved clutch basket, or too heavy oil, or cable adjusted too loose.

Mine has always had a little drag when it's cold. Once it warms up, it's fine.
