    Hi,
    I have a Suzuki Bandit 600cc, I find it fine for me, except for some reason
    it's a real pig to ride at low speed, i.e.: if I am attempting a slow
    manoeuvre in town which requires careful control, in first, I find the bike
    snatches it's the sort of "kangaroo"petrol syndrome.
    I was pulling out of a junction the other day to turn right and I began to
    carefully pull away, and all of a sudden the power kicked in and I nearly
    hit the wall opposite, can anyone please help me with this problem.
    The bike seems fine at high speed.
    Thanks.

    you may have a plug that's fouled.
    you may have a coil going bad.
    you may have a carb that's not sealing properly on the float valve.
    i'd check the plugs first.
    if you don't know what a fouled plug, or a questionable plug looks
    like, get someone to help you. don't mix up the plugs so you can
    tell which cylinder is suspect.
    this would be the starting point.
    this could get expensive.
    good luck, sammmmm
