OK, I admit it, my launching technique blows chunks. Now I'm not trying to win any races, lol, but I want to be smooth in all areas of riding and this one is presenting a problem. I've been riding for almost 30K miles now in the year and a half and feel 100% comfortable on everything (I have for a long while now), so I'vebeen working on taking my riding to the next level. This is my only stumbing block so far.
Currently, I give it a little gas while letting the clutch out, increasing the gas depending on how hard I wanna come out. I have felt the front end go light but have never done a wheelie (I'm also up on the tank, practically; this much I know to do). Trouble is, there's a point where my throttle hand stutters and the bike along with it. It's like vrrrrRRROOOM vrooomm vrrRRROOOOMMM. Ya know? Hard to explain, but it just seems I'm insecure about the amount of throttle I'm giving it.
Consequently, I don't launch hard but instead build it up through the revs (quite quickly) in first then kick into second, etc. I've pinpointed the problem to the relationship between my clutching and my throttle input. How do you guys do it so that you get a smooth, hard launch the whole way? Or am I nitpicking?
Let me know if I'm not explaining myself well.
