Depending on the track I start in second gear, and when I practice my starts I put on Loud headphones of the start. Because you can't here the bike. I practice the pull of the bike without also to Lurn the bog of the bike. Starting in second gear clutch response is important.
My cr 125 I had was geared tall where starting in second and w using the clutch to not have so much wheel spin I was at decent speed by the time I needed to find third. I would bring both kegs up to the pegs at thesame time but my left leg I would catch third w my heel with my leg coming up to get both in the pegs. Kindof dangerous till you practice it alot cause u can miss a gear til u get used to it but it helped so much with starts. Any bike even 450s I would line up with would struggle to get me up until their power got ahead of me but we were almost to the first curve by then. Feathering clutch to keep down wheel spun and shifting this way with both legs coming up togather really helped me
Nice 👌 very helpful. Do you have a concrete start video? I'm just a local racer on 2 tracks and one is a concrete start that I really struggle with wheel spin.
Great Video Johnny, thanks . Can you tell me , what is the right way to start if you have a auto clutch from Rekluse ? Regular, like a standard clutch ? I would appreciate your feedback, thanks Dionys
With the amount of power 450s output why not start in 3rd and save having to make that quick shift, allowing you to squeeze and keep you legs anchored longer?? Really interested in hearing your feedback on this.
As far as the shifting. Im probably about a class rider (not sure because i haven’t been in a race yet) but i do try to shift with random parts of my boot at random times. I ride a 250 2t that is geared really low so i dont ever need first gear. But when i come out of a left hand corner i try to hit my upshift with the back of my boot instead of doing it from the pegs.
Gary Mckissick I believe you should only shift with your heal with your very first shift off the start of your on the track riding get your foot on the peg before you shift. It’s to high of a risk of missing a shift to do this lap after lap. That’s how I was taught.
first technique was better. If you look our rider Prado's position, it is the key of the best start. of course the reaction too but yeah. Can't say more info cause then they kick me out of team :D. btw good video
You sure can buddy. Move your weight to be more in front of the bike. And slip the clutch more it will help prevent a quick wheelie. I know back when I raced two strokes I had to be wide open to get the bike to break traction so I wouldn’t wheelie. Go figure.
Peripheral vision gives you a faster response so that is great you know that, in my opinion, so fast that I have to delay my start or I hit the gate before it drops. Stare at your gate, respond to his/her gate drop with your peripheral vision.
PURE QUALITY MAN, THE GUY WHO DISLIKED THIS VID... MUST HAVE BEEN A QUAD RIDER...
Yeah he is on 4 wheels, he got balance problem...
Or a know it ALL!!!

I love your tutorial, learnd a lot, im just a beginner. Ty

Johnny Hopper good point. Thank you for the advice!
Great video! Should u start in 2nd gear???
Thanks

Can you hold it wide open on a 125 without going into an aggressive wheelie? Or do you have to change the throttle input or clutch to prevent it
You sure can buddy. Move your weight to be more in front of the bike. And slip the clutch more it will help prevent a quick wheelie. I know back when I raced two strokes I had to be wide open to get the bike to break traction so I wouldn’t wheelie. Go figure.
Johnny when your throttle stuck wtf didnt you just pull the clutch instaed of hitting the concrete wall?
hand slipped off the bars
I sometimes look at the other riders gate and look at mine out of the corner of my eye at the pen.

Good tutorial but I disagree on gear selection for 65 & 85, we start in 2nd gear. 1st gear will just spin and go nowhere fast
Rj was doing this in the 90s dude heal shift 👍so was 👁✊🏻💨💨💨
Just wait till your foot gets caught under the foot peg because its in front of it....ouch...
Well I mean it’s better than your foot catching when it’s behind the foot peg and ripping you off the bike
@@diegobrah109 Not really...when your foot gets caught in front of the peg, and your leg snaps like a twig....bummer
I did that... ended up snapping my tibia and fibula my foot was sideways and my bone was sticking out of my shin.
