Default Notchy at 3-4K

Was doing a little riding today and noticed when i was accelerating slowly or riding at a steady pace at 3-4K my bike was a little notchy or jerky...kept kind of going in and out of a steady speed....I looked at the speedo and the needle was bouncing slightly as well between 3-4K....Any ideas/ suggestions? could it be that I have a slip-on with no PC or something bigger???

I had an issue like that on my olf VFR and it turned out it was a bad chain that needed lots of oil. Had some sticking links and only really noticed it at a certain rpm range. A new chain fixed it. Just one possible thought. Check you chain for tightness and overall condition.

Just had that happen to me but my problem was low fuel. But it was jerky right at around 3-4K.

I lube my chain all the time and its new from last season i pray it isn't bad on me already lol wasnt cheap! However, I havent tightened it and/or checked it for that so I will definitely be doing that here...hopefully just minir stuff because i didnt notice it last season being really notchy at all so im sure its somethin simple...Thanks guys

Check the chain slack, and tighten it if needed. If you have too much slack, the bike will feel jerky.
