Taking off

[Darth]

So I've had my bike for about 4 months now and everytime i take off the line my front tire goes up and i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. I try and put my weight forward but that seems to throw off my balance. So my question is how do i bolt off the line keeping my tire down?

a little less throttle.

Drag racers feather the clutch. I just work the throttle.

what kind of bike do you have? 520 conversion done?

man, I have intentionally make my R6 front end to go up. Are you reving it up hard before you letting the cluth out?

[Darth]

The previous owner put in a smaller sprocket up front. I only rev it to 4 maybe 5 RPM. I think I'm popping the clutch out to fast.
It's an 03' lim ed

Slip the clutch more. When I go to the drag strip, I usually launch around 9k, but I'm slipping the clutch pretty much all the way to the 60' line, maybe a little bit further. The front end still pops up a bit when I finally let it out all the way, but it's not bad.

What do you mean by "slip the clutch"?

Let it out slowly (modulate it if needed) until you feel you can release it all the way without the front end coming up.

Slipping the clutch means allowing the clutch to put some power to the wheel, but not letting it out all the way. You do it every time you start from a stop, it's just a matter of keeping it in the friction zone longer to allow for the engine being at higer RPMs.

does it ruin or wear out the clutch faster slipping it at the kind of rpm?
