[QUOTE="biglou, post: 416837"] I've read about this, but just can't bring myself to do it. With the 426 in gear, clutch in, sitting at the line, should I hold the throttle WFO just seconds before the gate drops and let the rev limiter take over and then feed the clutch? I am somewhat apprehensive about all that power that's about to be unleashed. Does anyone else do this? Billy? I figure you're the man with the four-stroke launching experience. Currently, I start in second gear, (I have to, or I wouldn't even be in the same pack as everyone else) 14-51 gearing, hold the revs up a little, let the clutch out to put the bike "in tension" and hold the front brake. Right foot on the ground, left foot on the peg. When the gate drops, I drop the front brake and feed the clutch as I roll the throttle on. I am wondering that if I am banging the rev limiter that as soon as I feed the clutch, the RPM's will drop back into the 11,000+ range and throw my fat butt off the back in a violent loopout. I am also figuring that I can't put the bike "in tension" with the front brake as this would bring the rev's down below the limiter. Anyone have any experience with this? Keep in mind, I am racing the 250 beginner class in MX. I know I won't win, but a holeshot once in my lifetime would be kinda cool if someone was there to see it! I also figure I could freak out my friends when we do starts when they hear that "Gagagagagagggagagagga" rev limiter kick in when we are just grudge racing! (I can already beat the vast majority of my riding buds to the first turn, but I am mid-pack at best during a race) Thanks for any advice! :) Lou. [/QUOTE]
