If its jumping about when you let the clutch out i find alittle more revs deals wih that. My ybr will pull away at 4,000rpm but sometimes 6 if i want to really launch off. And that suzuki looks abit heavier than the CG so it may need alittle more revs to get it going. And also the action needs to be smooth all theway open if you stop abit and then dump the clutch it will Jump. Its just a case of getting on an empty road and practicing for a couple of hours. Does a wonder of good.

To adjus the clutch i beleave theres a screw on the clutch lever, im not entilerly shore to be ohnest. The owners manual should tell you how to adjust it to your liking. Maybe someone on here with the same bie can help.

Hope this helps, if its wrong someone will correct me Laughing

there should be a barrel adjuster on the cable that attaches to the clutch lever

adjust it so the bite points where you want it to be
