Default Killing the engine starting off from a start
I picked up my C50C yesterday, brand new, zero miles. I cannot ease off the clutch and ease on the gas like I can on the Honda Shadow, I kill it too easy. There seems to be no play between friction zone and release. Now if I hit the friction zone and ride the clutch till I pick up speed and release the clutch everything is fine.

Do I need to adjust the clutch lever, or is this a break in thing? Even my first day in MSF class I did not kill the engine on the 250 they use, and I never killed the engine on my Shadow.

Besides that I love it. Looking at what the other bike makers offer for the same price I felt Suzuki gives it's owners a great deal.
