#3I don't over rev or even rev much at all. That is how all the dudes around me wheelie out of control. The SD will pull from zero so just rev and release the clutch at the same time, slowly! I have only stalled once. And you don't want to stall!! Especially if you are not at the back of the grid!
The start on my Fontana race was one of my best...on video at least.

#4You dont seem to rev at all which I guess makes some sense but dosent that also leave for more room to screw up the timing between the clutch and rolling on the throttle (not that it matters to me at this point). For me I ether end up dumping it and that fcks the whole thing up with the wheel coming up or the inverse where I miss it completely.
I'm not revving much but slightly more than you. I heard but never tried that with big twins like a 1198 for instance they are starting in 2nd & heavy revving. Have you ever tried this?
I havent stalled yet but I'm still young and always have something to look forward too.

#5i believe you want to keep the revs up and keep the clutch just at the grab point. then monitor your forward motion/wheelie with the clutch. you want to keep the front wheel down but as much power to the rear wheel as possible and obviously weight the front down as much as you can.

#7practice, practice, practice. a lot of the really successful racers I know dont just spend time doing track days. Motorcross, drag racing, standing mile, it all helps. For starts, drag racing is the best practice in my opinion

#8Apparently Troy Corser uses the rear brake, ie. letting the clutch out a little past where it bites and hold it with the rear brake and release it when the light goes out.. Also, Andy Ibbot (from the California Superbike School in the UK) recommended getting on the pegs as soon as possible to get your weight on/over the bike instead of having it trailling behind..
Good luck!
Good luck!
