I'm in the process of buying a new sportbike. It's either a 2007 GSX-R at a good deal. Around 8200 OTD for the brand new 2007. Or 10 and change for the 2008 GSXR 600. My only question is.. did they fix the jerky throttle for the 2008 bikes? I know alot of people have said they wished they never bought the k6/k7 because of the jerky throttle.. i was just curious if it was fixed for the 2008 bikes.. thanks!

Sorry i this has been covered before.

its been coverd a few times but no problems, all the people with k8s say they are smooth and no complaints

Thanks for the heads up, Now I can go in on monday and pick up that perty black on black k8 i've been dreaming about for the past few days.

:cheers

I had an '06 bike, never had jerky issues...:dunno

these bikes have sensitive controls. some people (squids) interpret this as "jerky throttle"

learn how to ride.

I hope that wasn't directed to me? I've never ridden a gixxer before. I come from a 600RR so It was just a question because i've seen countless threads about this "Herky Jerky" or what everyone is calling it.

the herky jerky problems are mainly just the rider not knowing which gears to use , whent to use them ect..

No it is not directed at you. It is directed at people who can't ride and say that the throttle is to sensitive. Get a Katana.

Well thanks again for the help guys. Picking up the bike on tuesday.. already put down a deposit.
