Jerking upon acceleration.

[htbud11]

I notice that when I put my ridge into gear and accelerate it feels like it is not in gear at first and then jerks as if it is out of gear and then goes into gear upon acceleration. Is this just the nature of the cvt transmission? I am used to my honda big red that feels like it is in gear from the moment you accelerate.

Heck NO........mine was God awful when I first got it, and I Installed an Aftermarket Assassin Clutch kit, using the max number of weights the arm would hold, and now it is smooth as silk on takeoff. Now, it has reduced my top end, but I teach sporting clays and plow my driveway with the machine, so top end is not an issue at all. It goes plenty fast as it is, now I wish someone would fix all the other issues with the machine. I hope you are having better luck with yours than I am
