I had this problem and it occurs after the clutch is in and you're
shifting into second.  I tried moving my seat up and making sure the
pedal was all the way down but my legs got sorta cramped.  I also
tried letting the revs go down, didn't like that option.  Lately I
haven't noticed it.  Not sure if that's good or bad.
