Severe jerking! Ive had the bike xt1200 2010 2.5 yrs and avoid riding it .

My xt1200z 2010 has an almost unrideable problem of jerking as if running out of fuel causing severe kicking back on the drive shaft to the extent that I fear damage it also falters so badly when, say, leaving a junction that on a turn it could stall and fall. I've had it to the dealer and they say there is no problem. It is better in the cold but just been out in mild weather and it was so bad that anyone normal would have stopped and called the breakdown company. I even had to buy another bike last summer as it was so bad but fooled myself in the cold weather that it had cured its self.

That's a hard one to tell without seeing what it is doing. Some thing is shorting out. Had a honda 500 do something similar and it turned out to be the computer connections were not tight enough.

SOURCE: Jerking while driving

If you park your vehicle for a long time, you run the risk of having contaminated fuel in the tank. This happened to a car my wife purchased, and it was the last thing I found. It proved to be the problem. What you need to do is remove the fuel from the tank and then have the tank flushed. Fill it with fresh fuel and replace the fuel filter.

SOURCE: Stalling around 15 30 mph

I would try insoluating the fuel lines anywhere they go past hot parts.I would also run some fuel cleaner in with a few tanks of gasoline. It has done wonders on my truck of 189k.   Lean or no fuel related problem do not set codes. Too much unburned  fuel sets codes.

SOURCE: My 2003 dodge grand caravan wants to stall when

check all vacuum lines to make sure none of them are off especially the one behind the throttle body and also try some STP gas treatment in the gas tank make sure you have aleast a half a tank of gas when adding it and then finish filling it up

Send them out to a good suspension rebuild shop. Most dealers can ship them for you if you remove them. Factory connection, W.E.R. or others. You will fill out a questionaire on weight, riding style, ability, and what you ride on.

For Pulsar's Best Performance??????

You are rightly going, go ahead and take precaution to keep constant speed. After 2000Km you can run for getting optimum milieage from it.
I had used to run Pulsar and Unicorn and served 3 years in Honda Service Department. 
Avoid much using break and over gear transmission will also help you in maintainging a good mileage.
Thanks
