1st, plenty of practice at getting off the line hard, work out what gear to start in (2nd would be my guess,as 1st will only result in the front wheel being smashed into the clouds, but it does look impressive!!!!)
2nd, dont listen to his mouthy crap. a 65bhp k5 weighing 105kg has the drop on a 55bhp diesel weighing 120kg.the only place a diesel has the upper hand is useability and tight chuggy stuff.once you pull the pin, watch his manhood shrivel, closely followed by the contents of his wallet.
3rd,get used to SLIGHTLY dragging your rear brake on launch to stop it going postal on you.any power used lifting the front wheel isnt driving you forward.
4th, u can use your kill button as a quick shifter. instead of clutching when changing gear,hit the button and shift.the intermittent lack of spark creates enough slack in the tranny to change gear without the clutch.
5th,play with your tyre pressure (rear).lower psi means good hook up off the mark, but increased rolling friction.higher psi means poorer traction off the line but decreased rolling friction.
6th, KICK THAT DIESELS' ASS!
HOPE THIS HELPS, KWAKMAN.
