Default Clutch on Intruder 1400

My clutch seems to pop when I first take off. Does anyone else experience this with the 1400? I have a Volusia that takes off as smooth as can be, but the 1400 wants to almost pop a wheely going to first gear.

Thanks,
JD

The clutch on a new 1400 will grab a little harder...and it doesnt like to stay in the friction zone..over time, the clutch will settle down.

If it is an older bike/clutch...take it to a shop.

Also, this may sound redundant, but are you using the clutch correctly? The 1400 has quite a bit of low end torque.
