Smooth acceleration and the smooth feel of a bike on the road are dependent on maintaining speed. If you're just letting go of the throttle and it's whipping back into the zero throttle position, I would think it's normal for the bike to feel like that. These are really basic machines and they don't coast the way a car or a fancier bike would (unless you've pulled in the clutch or something)

Maybe I'm not understanding, but feeling like you are lurching forward a bit on decel is normal.
