NTV650 1997 - Drive Shaft Query

[lukew]

Hi Everyone

I am a happy new owner of NTV650.

It is my first bike with a shaft drive and I have a quick question.

When the bike starts moving (on the 1st gear) when disengaging clutch, there is a short moment that a vibration is felt, it is difficult to tell if it's coming from the engine or the drive shaft. The question is really to find out if it is something usual for that model or should I be worried? Also not sure if it is more evident when engine/shaft is at the running temperature - only ridden the bike few times.

Any advice\info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Luke

have you checked the drive shaft oil is topped up if it is dont worry
my bike is kind of quirky as going from 1 st gear to second i forget i have to shift up twice because it's like it registers neutral as a gear.

the ntv is not a smooth bike to ride i have a gsx750 and compairing the ntv650 to that bike
the ntv is like a tractor.

now here is a thing you should be worried about handlebars i am on a mission to find a dealer with ntv650 tubed handlebars.

these bikes are light and get blown over easy
