neckshooter Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I just bought a motor with a 1-5 override tranny. Just to be sure will It hurt anything if I take off in second instead of first? I was told the the was done by gt performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed350x Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Make sure when you pull up to the line or stage that you load the gear (slip the clutch until you feel the bike start to creep forward) then hold the bike in place with your foot brake. You don't want to load the gear, then let the bike relax backwards to where the back-cut on the gear starts to push it out of play, or to the point that when you dump the clutch you "slap" 2nd gear really hard. If its cut for a 1-5, then 2nd gear is going to be side-cut, and if you don't pre-load 2nd before you take off, that slapping motion when you take off in 2nd can potentially bust the dogs off 2nd if its a hard launch. - Jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
