This is a question from a Newb who hasn't ridden in 10 yrs.......... Is it
normal for a dual purpose bike to be jerky in first? It's getting
embarrassing if you have to drive slow and the thing is jerking. My other
bike never did that..it was quite smooth. This is a 4 stroke my other was a
two..this bike is very peppy in comparision. Does something need adjusting?
Or do I need to ride the clutch abit?

If the bike is new it needs have the carb adj. or the correct jets,  if old
and not ridden for sometime the carb may need to be cleaned as well as the
tank, have the valves adnj at the same time.  What is the year, make, model
and miles?

first gear in dual sports are real low. get used to, or use
second are the options. try an xt500, you can pull out
stumps...
