Due to gearing the flat spot is less noticeable in higher gears. Does it do it if the bike has been ridden for a while? Putting shims under the needles fixed that for me with my 750. Google washer mod. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

I am a new rider and have an '08 Nighthawk 250. This is my first bike, and I'm having some trouble with it. From a cold start, I let the bike warm up for a few minutes. Then, when I take off, after shifting into 2nd, when I roll on the throttle there is like a dead zone where I get no acceleration; if I roll on a little bit more, then the bike surges a bit. 3rd to 4th and 4th to 5th, I don't seem to have this problem. I assume I should be getting constant, gradual acceleration throughout the throttle position, yes? What can I do to fix this? I'm not very mechanically inclined but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
