Hey everyone. I bought a used 2018 K-Pipe 125 about 3 weeks ago. It had 1400 miles on the odometer and had been sitting for 3 years unused. I cleaned the bike up and got it running. I have put 600 miles on it in 3 weeks and I went to ride the bike last night and it appears to be having an issue with the clutch now. When you release the clutch to start moving, the bike hesitates then JERKS forward. When you shift into second gear, the bike hesitates then jerks forward from that gear as well. Same for 3rd gear. This seems very strange for a bike with 2000 miles on it. Unfortunately, with the bike being a 2018 its not under warranty anymore. I am unsure what's wrong with the bike and I am also unsure where to get clutch parts. Can anyone offer advice on what's wrong and how to get the parts to fix it? Thanks!

sounds like a clutch cable adjustment issue.. Do you have the correct amount of free play in your clutch lever?

fwiw, I have to describe the clutch engagement in my K-Pipe as "grabby", both with the original 125cc oem motor, and with the ZS190 5spd I have in it now. Not ideal, but I've got used to it

Yes I do. It only seems to have this issue when the motor is hot
