Pad users this setting adjustment may help with snap spin

Ok this year your damned if you do and damned if you dont… let me explain. using a pad it’s easy to accelerate and it’s easy to turn. But when doing both this is where our problems lay. Wheel use...

@BadMayh3m Noticed he selects and holds higher gears in slow corners.. obviously benefits traction out off those corners and he selects and holds lower gears in faster gears. (Which can’t be done in career or my team due to gearbox wear)

@ScarDuck14 This technique is used in Motocross to carry more speed through corners.
In moto you go into the corner a gear or 2 higher then slip the clutch to keep the revs up.
This is why I noticed his technique caused I raced Moto in my young days.

@mariohomohOn a start I got a good jump out of the gate on a YZ 400E in second gear, I had an Inside line cause of gate position when the outside was faster I slowed down a little to much and the guys handlebars on both sides overlaped mine about half way on both sides. We took at least 2 others with us with me on the bottom!
Nobody was hurt and we ALL kept going!
Good Times
