No lurching, or jumping. But if your not maintaining the idle with the throttle and you just put it in first gear itll die, forcing you to go back to neutral, start the bike and go again since it will not start in gear without some throttle.

It seems to me once you do have the bike in gear and are lightly reving the motor to keep it from dieing that at that point it is slipping the clutch, like you just cant pull the lever in far enough- of course I am trying with both a full hand on the lever and just two fingers. The bike doesnt start to take off, but you can hear it in the motor, and sorta feel that its getting some resistance. Its basically like if you stopped in gear on another bike and let the clutch out just far enough to put drag on the motor but not enough to actually move the bike.

I would guess that the clutch has never been serviced on this bike, and if so it was early on in its life. May wait a ride or two and then pull the cover and get into replacing parts.
