I have a 2016 Ninja 650 and a 2017 Z650. The issue is with the Ninja. Starting from a dead stop, when I slowly let the clutch start to engage, I get a very noticeable vibration. This is my 10th motorcycle and I'm good with the clutch. I've never had a bike do this. The clutch does not slip and have any issues once I get going. As a comparison, My Z does not have anything like this it is super smooth requiring just a little throttle to get going. I got it used and the bike has about 7600 miles on it.
But the Ninja, it wants to vibrate considerably, I can rev the motor up which lessens it. Also If it seems, if I let it out passed a certain point to when its at the edge of full engagement, the vibration goes away. No vibrations at all once moving. I searched the forum for an hour and saw nothing like my post.
Edit:In doing a little further research, what I'm experiencing might be chain tug. I've never had a bike with a loose chain, But based on what I read this could actually be the issue.
Any insight would be appreciated.
