rockinghorse, the little lurch is normal.  It lets you know you've hit the gear.  You can lessen it a litttle by squeezing and releasing the clutch lever a few times before you grab the gear.

pohlease, a couple of things, try changing the fluid out and bleeding the system real good.http://www.gadgetjq.com/hydraulic_bleed.htm  Also, check this out: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/reviewpost/showproduct.php/product/464/cat/67

The clutch on my drifter is great but I've noticed right before it completely releases the bike has a small surge of movement. Like the clutch is releasing too abrutly. Any tips? does something need to be replaced?

When I put mine in gear from neutral, it "jumps" a bit, especially when the engine/oil is still cold or less than operating temperature.
When it's fully warmed up, not so much...
