newb question!

So I recently bought a 99 ZX7R. I really like the bike but there are a couple things that bug me.
First on the list is starting the bike. On my bike you have to be in neutral with the clutch out before it can start. You cannot have it in any gear and you cannot have the clutch pulled in. Every bike I've owned has not been like this. IS it just my bike or is this a ZX7 thing? Either way I can you guys give me some heads up on how to fix it??? I want to be able to start my bike in gear with the clutch in.

I've got my chain adjusted but I hear this slapping type noise in the rear end on the left side. Is this normal? I'm not familar with the cush drives on these bikes could it be a problem with it?


Thanks for helping out the new kid on the block!
