'82 KZ305 Belt drive - jerky in low gears
07 Sep 2014 10:58
Just bought it off 2nd owner, low miles. Guy seemed to take good care of it. I've put about 75 miles on it, all city riding at 25-45 mph and am starting to feel some jerkiness in low gears 1st - 3rd, with the throttle on and off. Can't tell if it is engine braking or power loss. Once I get her into 4th, she's smooth. Also wants the choke on for a while, and even after running a good 20 minutes out on the road, idle is really low and will die with choke off, but okay at 1/4 up. Any thoughts on the jerkiness?

Possibly dirt or rust clogging the low speed circuits in one or more carbs.
