Just purchased a brand new 2012 HONDA FourTrax Foreman 4x4 TRX500FM

When I put the bike into 1st gear and so on the bike shakes/jerks slightly in back and forth motion as im going. It doesnt feel like its 100% smooth. It has this bumpy/jerking feel like its skipping beats or something.

It's difficult to explain but if it's the norm you should understand what I mean.
It's not terrible, just slightly annoying since it's not 100% smooth. I just want to be sure the bike was assembled safely and properly by the dealer and that this is norm.

Thanks in advance.

 

I would have your dealer take a look at it before you get too many miles on it just to make sure it isn't something out of the norm.

 

i agree with Moose....take it back....DO NOT try to adjust or fix anything yourself....your "warranty" (if thats what u wanna call it) will cover that,,,,,,,,,

my opinion is your clutch might not be adjusted correctly
