Vibrating engine.

I recently changed my 2012 PCX for a 2018 model.

When I took it for the first ride I found that the bike vibrated when starting from stationary, it was almost a juddering and only lasted momentarily until the revs increased.
My old bike never did this and was so smooth on take off.
Has anyone else experienced this.
Not being a techie it seemed as though the drive belt was slipping just at the start.
Any views please. Before I need to take it in to a dealer.

There has been cases of shuddering from clutch slippage, caused by going to gentle from take off for too long - starting off with more throttle for a day or so often cleans the clutch plates. Not sure if that's what you are getting.

There are plenty of answers to this question on the “how to page” I should have looked there first. Seems it is a common problem.
