    Use your clutch.. no more lurch ;)

    If you ARE using your clutch, i'm thinking you need to adjust it, you shouldn't get any bucking or lurching when changing gears with the clutch in.

    When you get experienced enough, you'll be able to shift 2 through to 5th without using the clutch at all, and do it smooth as silk.

    If you're getting the "lurch" when releasing the clutch in the new gear make sure you roll off the throttle all the way when you shift, shift slower to let the RPMs come down ore, or both.
