Is it lowered?
Strapped?
stretched..

Lower air pressure may help it off the line but it will then wheelie sooner

Mines lowered, and without the strap it always stands up at the top of 1st...
16/41 SMeg, no flies, lowered 2" rear and strapped in frt
60ft 1.52....

I think 18 to 20 lbs in the rear is about right. That's what me and my friend run in ours.

Depends on track prep.
I have ran 1.56 at 36 psi, on well prepped track.
I have had to run as low as 26 psi on poorly prepped track.

If your pressure is too low your trap speed will hurt at the back end.
