Learning to use a clutch 101. Gently release the clutch as you're applying throttle. If you pop a clutch; it jumps. Even if the throttle has a dead spot proper clutch Control won't let you jerk and jump.
The Throttle Tamer will GREATLY reduce the jerkyness. It's not an emissions issue here, it's the TPS and ECU settings for ignition that are the issue. This generation of bikes have a very hard "hit" as they have a really advanced ignition timing for first to third gear. The ECU has three maps which is changed by the gear indicator switch by the output shaft. The tamer will help with the ramp of the throttle and ignition advance but still retain the low end torque these things have. It's just very reactive which is good if you need to hop curbs and logs on the trail.
Its so Honda can meet epa regulations to make it street legal. Its not so bad that its a deal breaker but it is something that needs to be addressed with an aftermarket option. Thanks for watching
It's not that bad really, its a matter of getting used to, but you won't be using your gas without using your clutch in 1-3 gear. On the road and off road youll learn to ride it and use the clutch more, however at slow technical off road stuff youll tire your arms very quickly, and then it is a bit of a problem
@@odkeky Haha,Its not that good! Unless you're just putting around on the road! this bike is a high performance off-road bike intended to be riden offroad, and you're admitting it sucks off-road which equals its not good.
