[QUOTE="High Lord Gomer, post: 1202426, member: 16469"] Dumping (popping) the clutch on the start is a bad thing. It will usually result in one of: [list][*]Too much power and too much traction will result in, at worst, a loop out, or at best, merely a wheelie that you have to let off to get under control.[*]Not enough power and too much traction will bog the engine and you'll be putting away from the gate at low RPMs and have to start slipping the clutch again to get back in the power.[*]Too much power and not enough traction will result in wheel spin. As long as it goes straight, that isn't too much of a problem (other than being slow), but it can get sideways and sometime hook up and loop you out or throw you into the bike beside you.[/list] Much better to hold the bike at 1/2 throttle with the clutch dragging just enough to try to move you until the gate mechanism starts to move. When it does, full throttle and controlled release of the clutch lever. [/QUOTE]
