Were you sitting facing the handlebars, or the rear fender?

If you were facing the rear fender and went forward when you let the clutch out, then you might have a real problem. :think:

I'm with wibby on this one. I don't have a clue what your talking about. If the bike is in gear and you let the clutch out and give it throttle, of couse it will take off. That's the whole concept.

A lot of people start off in second... It's not a big deal unless you are running a small rear gear. BTW... where did you learn to write? We could understand you better if you took a little time when posting. "u"=you and use some punctuation and caps when they are needed for C***** sakes.

Sorry, It is just annoying.

There's no problem, there's is no rule that says you have to start in 1st gear, unless your gearing is too high and it stalls.

I took off on mine in 3rd the other day.

IMHO: In future posts it would be much easier to understand what you are trying to say if you'd actually spell out your words.

Oops! looks like Rethnal beat me to it!

I often start in 2nd. I've been told off when I've started in first (deep sand), but can't remember the reasoning. Something like higher revs, less wheel spin (doesn't sound right to me, but only thing I can think of).

For MX, the smaller bikes start in 1st, the bigger in 2nd. The open class starts in top ;) j/k

But no, your bike has not got an aftermarket something to allow it to start in 2nd.
