Sorry, but I think that over 45 years of riding gives me "experience". And clutch control has nothing whatsoever to do with the jerkiness experienced when you shut the throttle of a gz engine that's not fully warmed up. Like I said, it's the ONLY single cylinder bike I've had that has as much jerkiness - and most of the bikes I've ridden have been small, single cylinder machines. I'm convinced that it's a carb problem, because when I first got the gz (new) it was REALLY jerky. especially when going round traffic islands at low speed. The very first dose of fuel additive (we can't get carb cleaner over here) cut the jerkiness by 90%, but it's still there with a cold (cool) engine. When the engine warms up/speeds up, more of the jerkiness goes away, but it's still the MOST jerky bike I've ever had.
