Default RE: finally......

just came back from riding down the road and back.........got it up to 50.......pretty sweet. only downside if anyone can give tips or what not. for some reason i have a hard time going from first (i stall out) i move forward, let the clutch out slow, and throttle. sit in place let it out and throttle, etc. tried everything but yet i still stall out a lot. i was turning around on teh road, i stalled out when a car was coming behind me, all i could think is what a dumbass i am. haha any help would be much appreciated.

Its just getting the timing down right. It took me a while to get it too! Just keep practicing and you'll be fine. You just need to find the friction point in your clutch and then figure out the right amount of throttle and you'll be taking off just fine!

congrats steve, as said above, you need to feel what your ride is telling you on the clutch work. You will get it down/handled soon.
