lot of haters in the comments, personally I'm new to this too and I appreciate you uploading, you're not condescending or acting like you're better than anybody and you openly admit that you're still learning, as far as I'm concerned experience is experience and I appreciate you sharing yours

Appreciate this video. Ive been working on my own launches and definitel found this helpful. Gonna hit a lot after work today and do some launch work myself.

Great video. I know it's old but did you ever use the launch control two step in the power commander? I just hooked it up to the clutch switch on one of my bikes and it makes starting line rpm much easier to manange.

I do not know what is more, if the nonsense or the recklessness.

Cool bike man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and learning experience.

Good video man, Im learning to launch my z900 without it wanting to loop out on me. Ride safe !

Try launching on the 12, it does pretty decent from low rpm. I was able to get it to hook on street @ 7k rpm

[armarra]

Sounds like you really care about getting this right.

Thanks for taking the time to explain and for your honesty.

I started to think ..as you said you wore out your clutch, that you are just showing people how to wear out their clutch, so don't do it this way but I appreciate you're working hard to get it right.

IL4s have phenomenal power but they have a hole in the torque curve atpower rpms. That's why it's so hard to launch without burning the clutch.

A triple is better suited but obviously only has 200+HP with a supercharger.

Love doing myself, the clutch is everything, burning out your clutch early is all to do with clutch pressure, not sure of your clutch set-up, have a look at upgrading to clutch springs, eg pressure, add washers to take up lock up faster as this improves so much in time and release fully.
Glade you enjoy

You gotta leave above 5k on the street on the track about 6500 to 8 your 60s should b around mid 1.40s

[Cullz.]

please stop giving advise. you burnt out your clutch you don't know how to adjust your clutch or tighten your chain. why not learn some basic motorcycle skills before trying to be a hero.

Is this personal attack or something ?

[Johnnyreengo]

Clutches are consumable! Thanks for sharing the info man.

Clutch plates are something you can change yourself quite easily. Granted I don't know the process for your bike, but in general get that casing off and the basket will be right there. Get it out, and replace the plates. Can be done in an hour for a first timer.

My son is 11 and learning to ride a street bike. The clutch is what his g-daddy just can't get him to understand. I've seen g-daddy do some craaazy things to clutches though. About 26 years ago my uncle looked at me and said "let's go see how bad your daddy messed this up". He took the screws out of the cover of the actual clutch and bits of metal started falling out. He slammed that cover on and yelled for someone to find him a box. I didn't know what it meant to grenade a clutch until then. Seeing someone left standing on the starting line when their bike runs out from under

How can you tell if your clutch is burnt up?
