Default Bike jumps a little when starting it up.

When in first gear and the clutch pulled in, the bike wants to a little when you start it. It's a 2010 Ultra. Is this normal or does it need some type of adjustment? Thanks

Yeah it's normal. That's why you should start it in neutral. Less strain on starter, and clutch.

Normal, at times the clutch plates become stuck together. As Ron750 mentioned, it's hard on the starter when you start it in gear.
