dont look at the cones, get that clutch out before you get to the tree! the faster you get on the power the faster you will go, and lower your launch RPM start low and work your way up learn to get the clutch out than start bringing up the RPM

because your snapping the clutch out and not slipping it, as you release the clutch feed it gas, also what are your mods and gearing?

I hear many people on here say leave at 3,500... But I've NEVER been able to do that. When I was 16/43 I have to leave at 6500, now at 16/48 I've dropped it down to 5500 but that's the lowest id go if I was stretched. Maybe start at 5,000

nobody can leave at 3500, they wide open the throttle before the light comes on, you need to keep upping the rpm until the bike wheelies and you have to lift, then back the rpm down 500, find the perfect rpm that carries the front wheel so you dont have to lift the throttle, right now mine is 6200. keep going to the track Busa! you will get faster.

keep adding rpms until the bike wheelies then back off 500. but thats realeasing the clutch by the tree right.

nah i always had a 14 . yeah i been working on my time finally got them down. next time you go try looking at the cones and focus on getting that gas pinn by the 60 the cones helped me alot . it helped me know when to release the clutch and pinn the gas . once you get better try having the clutch out and gas pinn by the tree. but try to focus on the tree and cones it helps
