Exclamation two enguagements with the street twin??

Recently I got the mcleod street twin installed on my 95 bird. As Im driving it to break it in, I have noticed that there seems to be two enguagements. The first one only happens at lower rpms, but it will start moving the car ever so slightly and I can feel it in the shifter, but the car will bypass this if I rev to 2k before starting to let the clutch out. Is this normal? Its not hurting anything, but I just want to make sure the shims are not wrong or anything like that.
Thanks!

I think I've already posted in one of your threads..... my Street Twin twin (years ago when the car still had the T56) felt EXACTLY like the stock clutch, but required about 20% more pedal pressure. No chatter, no "two engagements", no sudden grabbing, could be slipped just like a stocker if necessary. Main difference was it survived 5,000rpm dumps on slicks.

cool, thanks Injuneer. I just had it rebalanced yesterday, hopefully the car will be burning gas by end of day tomorrow. We shall see what happens then.
