[QUOTE="Aasland, post: 1161176, member: 14773"] I too thought that the lurch was only evident on the 2006-2007's ... I wouldn't suggest putting any lube in the throttle cables; that will mess with the teflon sheath. Here's the G2 he's referring to: [URL="https://www.g2ergo.com/store/g2-street-tamer-throttle-tube/"]https://www.g2ergo.com/store/g2-street-tamer-throttle-tube/[/URL] What that does it change the ratio of how much cable is pulled when you turn the throttle. The G2 changes that ratio so it's easier to feed in just a little bit of throttle so it isn't as abrupt. But the real problem is the fueling, and in my experience with the 2006, the Power commander is the only thing which fixed it good enough to keep the bike. Although the complete fix is to get a different bike (I hear the '14 FJR's solved it too). [/QUOTE]
