•vibration throughout the bike
•noise coming from the clutch (kind of like a grinding noise I think)when I start to accelerate fast
•front tire feels like it is running over continuous small bumps at lower speeds (not sure if it’s just cause of the stiffer suspension in the front)
•and clutch feels like it engages and disengages kinda hard I pull throttle a tiny bit and it jolts forward
Mine was very vibey when new. After about 2,000 miles this smoothed out such that now it really only intrudes at high speeds - 70mph+. Another bit of “character” is how it clanks (your grinding?) a bit as you accelerate from a standstill. Doesn’t appear to be a fault as such, possibly a quirk of the single cylinder motor as these are inherently unbalanced?
I’d echo the point about swapping out the Kenda’s(?) mine were awful and I’m much happier with Michelin City Grip 2’s.
Finally the clutch engaging and disengaging hard, I’d say if this is still an issue at the first full service then have your dealer check it out.
I’m in the UK and here I cannot fault Kymco’s after sales service. Hope you have a similar positive experience.
