That happens to me as well, but I think it has to do with either a overly sensetive gas pedal (too much tension) or that I just need to drive more smoothy.

I think it has to do with the tranny changing between the drive gears and coast gear. you can feel it more in 1st and 2nd because they are shorter gears.

I have been having a similar experience.. when at low rpm's in 1st and 2nd and letting go of the gas.. i think the lack of gas at low rpms causes a bit of jerking. Our engines are basically saying they need more gas when yur down below 1.5k rpms

Isnt it just a case of rapid throttle response with a tuned 4 pot, get the same on the blade. I use higher RPM's and tend to be more carefull dipping the clutch

Do any of you guys have a aftermarket clutch? I've driven my friend's GSR's with stock clutches and they don't jerk as much as mine with a ACT clutch.

I have noticed that their gas pedal is looser too.

What do you mean by a tuned 4 pot and get teh same on the blade?

this may sound stupid but that happend to my friends car and it turned out to be his tb... the flap was getting stuck... pull of your intake and clean it up and visually inspect it while turning it to see if thats the case.

Exactly, that's how my car is too. It's not as bad, but then it gets worse and that's how it is on my bike as well. I thought that it might be the clutch getting old, but there's only 50,000 miles on my clutch, but who knows?

A worn clutch will cause the the car to be smoother actually because it will slip before it starts to grip the flywheel.

A racing cluch (like those six pucks with the crazy pressure plate) will be very jerky, since it grips so quickly and so hard. The clutch is more like an on and off switch. That's why I'm asking what kind of clutches you guys have.
