Then how come only a couple of people are having the issue and not EVERY ONE?

I'm not suggesting that the clutch is 'fixing' itself either. I just dont think the engine is "hesitating". I think its an older bike with 16000 miles and something needs to be adjusted....but engine hesitation doesnt sound like a viable culprit..

 

What I'm wondering is, how can we find out, possibly our descriptions differ for the same issue.

 

Try having the bike in 1st gear with the engine cold and stopped. Pull in the clutch and roll it back and forth.
This will tell you if your clutch plates are sticking together.

 

Someone told me to warm the bike up for 5-10 minutes before heading out. I did that this morning and it did Not do it. (Jump,skip or whatever the proper word is) Now when I get off word today I'm gonna warm the bike up again and see what happens.

 

You do not need to warm it up for 5 to 10 minutes.......especially in Florida.

 

Not a problem at all with mine in that regard.. Smooth rolling
I do this every time I ride to back it out of the driveway, then I start it with the garage door closed so I don't wake people up as badly.

I agree it seems to be more of a transmission/gear issue, as if it isn't full going into first gear and slipping teeth for a second or 2 and then catching, vs a clutch issue. Sort of like with a manual shift car/truck that will jump out of 1st gear (JOG) occasionally with heavy acceleration. Sometimes its the shift boot interfering with it going fully all the way into gear, other times its something else..

Mine is rare and I'm able to work around it happening to prevent it.

 

I tried warming it up at work but it slipped again so I see that warming it up does nothing even in Florida. Saltwaterhop, yes. You described it to a tee. I'm at a point where I'm just gonna ride. It is what it is. Can't afford to pay anyone to look at it so I'm just gonna ride. Thanks everyone for the advice.
