To me, this is normal. The clutch is dragging. I bet it happens to you
when the bike is cold, but not when hot. My bike will lurch about a foot if
in gear and clutch in when cold.
I developed a habit of starting in nuetral AND having the clutch in. My 88
Suzuki Katana 1100 did the same thing, so I considered it normal.

Subject: Bike lurches forward when started in gear with clutch in
Is it normal for GTS to lurch forward when starting in gear with the clutch
in (all the way to the handlebar)? It starts forward hard and could travel
up to three feet or so
before I manage to catch it with the front brake.
I have developed a nasty habit of not applying brakes when starting a bike
since none of my other
two
machines did/do that)...
Thank you!
Anton
