What is the best technique to launch the Raptor without standing it straight up. Raced a Z400 the other day and got smoked because i kept standing it up and and had to back off. Once i was back on the gas i caught back up to him.

 

get a longer swingarm.... or do rolling starts in 2nd gear

 

How bad does it hurt if i slip the clutch more?

 

just lean completly foward almost as if you were checking your bumper and then dump her !! dont feather the clutch,ive smoked 2 of them or go get you a GTYR clutch for about 120.

 

Thanx for the posts

 

If you adjust the rebound to be slower it will help keep the front down. THrough adjusting the preset and rebound I am able to keep it down much better. It does still lift
