I just picked up a 2006 Scrambler with under 1000 miles.
Is there anything I need to be aware of with this bike? Any must do tips that need to be done like re-torque bolts and such...?
Also when I am off the throttle and go back on suddenly, is it normal to be jerky or should it be smooth. Chain is in spec...any advise would be great, as I am also reading as many threads as I can to help out.

Just ride it ...

You should be smoother with the throttle ...

the jerky throttle is normal with the new EFI bikes.

Look at your 11th didgit in your ser #. If it is a T, your bike was assembles in Thailand, if not, you've got a real Brit bike.
I can't help believe this jerkiness is in some heads after they read so many threads. Before I started modifying my 09 T100, I liked the throttle response I was getting. But, being new, I started reading this forum like you and look what I did to a new bike with 3000 miles on her. Good luck and have a great day.
By the way, an AI removal will solve the jerky throttle problem. Just put a dog in your headers first to see if there are any hidden cats in there. This is a whole nother story.

My throttle response could be considered "jerky." To say the least, it's very light on the touch. I have a poor man's cruise control on the twist-grip - a curved & cupped accessory, to rest the palm of your hand on. Well, each time I hit a bump, I get a "jerk" response from the throttle. I ended up adjusting this item downward, so my palm doesn't rest on it.

The OP says that the bike is an 06, unless he meant 09 it will be carbs not EFI.

That's most likely just engine compression braking you are experiencing . Takes a bit to get used too .

The stock Trailwing tires are not good . I replaced mine at 4200 miles as the front tire was cupped and they sounded like a 4wheel drive truck going down the highway . This tire change was the best mode I have done yet to date . The rear shocks are not to hot either .

Has it had the 600 mile service yet ? If not get that done . I like mine a lot . I like how tall it is , fits me well . But I am making it more bonnie like all the time

gl with your new ride

Let me guess, your coming from a KLR-650? (I did)
Assembled in Thailand, same as the KLR.
