Pep 'jumps' when I start her

I know I've read various bits of information about this phenomenon in different places.  I searched here but found nothing (probably my bad search abilities).  I'm not terribly worried about this but wonder what adjustment I could make/should make to help with it.

Peppermint Patty ('09 S40 BestBikeEver) usually doesn't go more than two days without getting started/ridden although the weather has been most unpleasant today (rain/hail).  I stand her up, pull the clutch and the brake, kick the stand and hit the starter.

Jump!  Just a momentary forward hop.  It was surprising the first few times but I've gotten used to it.  I just didn't know if this is typical.

Thanks for your input!

start in neutral.

what you're feeling is the clutch stickion.  it's what happens when a bike with a wet clutch sits for a while.

Gotcha.  I leave her in first because of my parking location but I'll kick her out before I start.

Thank you!
