That "band" you feel (and yes, it's there... it's on my bike too) can't be "smoothed" out that I know of... but I wouldn't worry about it. Really... you only notice it if you're rolling on the throttle VERY slowly, or putting along very slowly, say... 10mph or less (mind you, the manual says that you should pull the clutch in at 10mph and under). Just give it a little gas, slip the clutch a little, get going above 10mph, and don't worry about it.

yes that is the most commen answer.. get a custom tune to correct your A/F ratio.. but i thnk what he is noticing is kinda the power you feel after you fully engage your clutch and start powering up, all depends on how u release the clutch and that sorta thing.. give your bike to a more expierence rider and see what he thinks

+1, after 10 grand rpm, you feel like you're on a rocket
