Quick question, when I engage first gear and clutch in fully, with the rear wheel off the ground. Is the rear wheel supposed to be spinning slowly with the clutch lever engaged fully??? Or izzit not supposed to be moving at all??? My concern is that it might cause unnecessary clutch wear with extended clutching in while at a stop.

Sometimes when you first start the bike and it hasn't had time to warm the oil, it'll grab like that. If your clutch really holds then when you have it in gear it'll kill the bike, if that doesn't happen, don't worry about it, it's fine.

Yeah mine does that a little when its cold. sometimes jerks you when clicking into first. but look at owners manual and adjust the clutch would help to.
