    Try getting your carb and tank cleaned first and see if the problem is still there.

      What you are experiencing is normal. Whenever you throttle or decelerate suddenly there would be a jerk.
      What you can do is-

      1. It could be that your clutch settings does not suit your riding style. Maybe it is full clutch. Try changing it to half clutch and check again.
      2. Check if the throttle and clutch cable has a play in it.
      3. Lube the clutch and accelerator cable.
      4. Check if the brakes pads do not rub against the drum or disc preventing free rotation of wheels.

      BTW, was the bike parked under rain for considerable time?

      Getting angry at somebody is the same as getting angry with a bike that just won't go. You should stop and start thinking.

        There are already good advices being given. I suggest u to look for them. Besides them, you might also want to look if the diapraghm is moving freely or not. Recently I changed the whole carb set because of the jerks as the diapraghm was not moving freely.

              Will check that. Well I rode my friends CBZ, and Fz today and checked for similar issues and did not face any so I dont think its my riding style.

              Bike has only done 6000kms can this problem occur so quickly?

                  Once in a thousand, you get this. I believe Honda Unicorn and Dazzy has more problems with the diapraghm. I changed mine at 13K and the brand new replacement also had the same problem. So, I had to show ASC a piece of my mind. After replacement with another, the bike now revs freely and there are no jerks in any rev range.

                  I think you should put it as a possibility.

                    Diaphragm is not sold separately, it comes with a set of other parts which costs about 2k

                      By 13K I didn't mean amount, it was my bikels mileage 13,000+ KMs. The diaphragm alone is also available but I choose to replace thw whole carb set as the walls were also scratched I didn't want to take chances. The diaphragm was somewhere around 1400/- and the carb set cost me around 7600/-. The prices are in IC but I paid its equivalent in Nepalese Rs here so it might seem bit expensive.

                        7600 just for set? Entire carb is like 6k

A unicorn and GS150r is very good bike , we know from the beginning ... but here in delhi you hardly see GS150r.... i think this bike is common out of delhi ....... that why i stick to Unicorn.... (easily availability of parts, infact good resale value too , easy to maintain and suits my built too)
