but on dirt i can pull 2nd no problem and third becouse of bald tires

are u running different gearing

and u most be giving it hell to make it launch in 2nd
i usally this find a spot around mid rpm then hold it then let clutch go and stab the gas
well im 120pounds and have 12/39 gearing so mine is a wheelie machine i can pull a start in 3rd with no problem

I hear that. Im 280. With my ported oem cylinder I could launch VERY HARD in second no problem, then short shift to third.

My zilla, I could leave in third but, it would just spin.

I could launch second on dirt but in the sand i have to use first. When I had the 12/39 I had no choice but to use second.
