Fast launches???

Post by benny-g »

hi, i really want to learn how to quickly launch the bike of the mark. The clutch seems so grabby that when i try and hold the revs up and sprint off i just end up kangarooing of the line :oops: haha.

Just practice surely?

I find 1st is quite a short gear anyway and isnt much good beyond 30 ish.

A short shift into second gives me better drive than running out 1st to redline.

I can do a quick line getaway but always end up absolutely crapping it with all my weight fwd and front wheel about a foot in the air! Always so so happy when its all over and find it usually leaves a 10 minute long scar (runs from ear to ear with teeth in the middle) :twisted:
