What are the reasons for a underbone motorcycle not accelerating when throttling?

It may be caused by a lean air-fuel mixture or failure to warm up the engine after starting, resulting in poor throttle response. This phenomenon in motorcycles is called high-speed misfire, where the spark plug fails to ignite continuously at high RPMs, leading to jerky acceleration or inability to reach high speeds. Backfiring is the most obvious symptom, as unburned air-fuel mixture is expelled into the exhaust pipe due to misfiring. When this mixture ignites during the next cycle, flames are expelled, causing the backfire. It is recommended to first adjust the clutch clearance, as there might be clutch slippage issues. If this doesn't help, replacing the entire clutch assembly should fix the problem. If the engine RPMs still jerk when revving in neutral, it indicates an ignition issue. Check the ignition timing, and if that's fine, try replacing the ignition coil.
