I have definitely felt the difference between my manual truck and the CBR. I had the idea of using clutch to smooth it out, I’ll definitely try it, thanks!
Grabby Throttle?
hello! I’m a brand new rider. I just got a 2011 CBR250R last weekend. I’ve been working on slow speed maneuvering around my driveway and front yard and I have noticed that when the clutch isn’t engaged and I let off then get back on the throttle, it’s very jerky. I am practicing taking my weight off the handle bars by squeezing the gas tank, but I’m not sure if it is the bike not properly tuned or if I’m just too green at riding to have the throttle down. I desperately try to be as slow and soft with the throttle to get it to not be so jerky. Any suggestions?

I am currently looking at getting a class a few weeks from now, I definitely would like to start without any bad habits!All good suggestions, but I would add - enroll in a MSF Basic Rider Course.
You need to learn the basics quickly and correctly, and teaching yourself isn't a great way to do it.
There's no time to figure it out on the street these days. All the basics of handling the cycle need to be automatic so you can keep your focus on changing road and traffic conditions.
