Mine is the same I've had it on every bike I think it's pretty normal

[lloydie]

its normal dont worry .
however making sure the crush drive rubbers are in good condition and the chain correctly set will help smooth things out a little .

You may want to adjust the gear selector position as it helps.

Basically move it around clockwise one spline on the front and re-adjust your pedal height.

The gear selector angles should be adjusted so as to be as close to 90 degrees (arm to rod/linkage) at rest as possible.
You might want to have a look and see how much slack there is in the gearchange lever pivot- any wobbliness will affect the slickness of the change.
Either a new lever, new pivot bolt or getting it bushed will help.
Regular greasing assists as well.

Lastly, take off the front sprocket cover (take the clutch lever off first, to stop the slave piston pumping out and causing an air leak) and clean all the old, congealed chain lube and grit off the sprocket area, and off the clutch pushrod. You can just pull the push rod out, nothing falls out inside the engine.

Chain adjustment- do it with someone of roughly your own weight on the bike, and make sure there are no tight spots in the chain.

But they all do it to a degree.
