WOW Its perfectly normal, so is the not exactly same engagement point. It is a slipper clutch. Just dump it in first gear. The bike just takes off.

I test drove a K1600GT. WAY too much bike for me.
I had a 2000 R100RT. I have a 99 Gold wing.
I can ride my R18 FE ALL DAY. When I bought it, I rode home 1100 miles. It now has 25,000 miles and is most comfortable for me. 5 feet seven inches, one hundred eighty pounds.
The RT and...
25,000 would have been more, but I broke my shoulder July 7.
Third season. I'm getting used to the rattly noises.
I love the bike, its a HOOT to drive!
Pic later.

I have an R1200R camhead. Loving it, keeping it. almost 80,000 miles on it. Its my runabout. .. Grocery getter. I took the saddle bags and mounts off my R18 so you can see my white walls,
