I was told switching down to an 11-tooth sprocket will help my 4-wheeler from jerking when I am going slower. Is this right?

I wouldn't go to an 11 tooth front. 12 is the smallest I would go on the front. Whats this jerking you're speaking of?

Great stress would occur on the chain going to 11.

Jerking sounds good in one sense but on the clutch jerking is not good.

Yeah, 12 would be the smallest you would really want to go on the front, or the chain we be put in a big bind. Maybe the jerking is from improper jetting? Sometimes it seems that mine kinda loads up if I am putting around, and until I gas it a little it will jerk somewhat......

raptoryfm660r......not a good jerking either.......LMAO
