InlandEmpireRider,

Your bike looks and sounds great!

Keep practicing - you have the first step down already... you are leaving very smoothly and that's where you want to be.

The next step is to gradually step up your confidence and the aggression of your launch. This may mean a slight increase in your launch RPM (not sure where you are holding your RPM?), or a conscious effort to open the throttle sooner - or both.

biggmoinc - My best pass has been leaving at 5500 RPM. I'm currently running 16/43 gearing. Thanks for your input on the gearing!

Brock - Thanks for the encouragement!
