Hard to say if there is anything wrong with the bike or if your just letting the clutch out to fast and not getting on the gas soon enough. Have you ran the bike before at thetrack and had good 60 fts with your set-up?

i thought the same thing but i launch the same every time.it started doing it the last time i went to the track.last two runs of the night and then all last night.when i take off its like the front wants to come up and launch hard and then all the sudden nothing it bogs and then wants to gradually pick up speed.

I have that same problem way to often, it is when I let the clutch out to fast. I have a few decent launches then I do it again. Unfortunately it is rider error. One thing I have found that helps is to set the clutch lever on "1" on the dial. This gives you a little more room to play with the clutch. I prefer it on "5" for street riding though.

I try and divide my concentration between getting the clutch out as fast as possible and (the important bit) keeping the revs climbing by winding on the throttle. Getting on to full throttle and clutch out as soon as I can.

Unless your bike does have a fault it sounds like you aren't rolling the throttle on as the clutch bites. The 14 has a strong clutch, it WILL take the abuse, just try not to loop it.

Track prep could be your issue!
You probably were spinning the tire slightly on the hard runs, and when the track was prepped real good, the tire would hook so hard, it bogged the motor on the others...

Did it start bogging after the tire switch or did it happen on both sets of skins?
