2 ways::
1) (my way) 1st gear start,let the clutch out then hammer it. (I got 5th out of the hole at Red Bud this way)
2) (daughters way) 2nd gear start, high rpm, get those tires spinning NOW!!! (she's a front runner)
Your doing it in the middle which as you see don't work well. BR>Have fun.

Try a taller gear
Try using only half throttle until the clutch is out and apply the rest afterward

it's all clutch control and feathering. you have to let the clutch out with a smooth, steady speed. You can't just dump it and rev the gas simultaneously. If you have a stock clutch it's not going to like the abuse of a motocross start. But try in second gear, at least half throttle, and just feather the clutch slowly until you can start and only lift the front wheels a few inches. Starts are all about practicing.

Just go home and practice a lot....that is how the best get to be the best, is practice. Practice on the same surface conditions too.

On a Warrior I would keep it in 1st gear on the start. Just use some throttle control, you'll get the hang of it.BR>
If you really want to be fast, you can ride the clutch all the way out, but you will eat up your clutch fast by doing so.

Basically feathering the clutch.

try starting in 2nd gear and stay leaning forward to allow a little wheel spin.

I would start in second gear but i dont know for a warrior. If you have to hit the brakes then your just better off to not give it as much throttle. I think that would be faster. I dont know if this would help but say the gate drops, you let out the clutch and you think your about to do a "big wheelie." If your RPM's are up high enough try shifting up just a little early while you are still in the wheelie. That might help bring the front end down without losing too much acceleration. This is easiest to do if you just grab the clutch with 2 fingers (which you may already) and keep your foot under the shift lever so your ready to tap it when you feel its the right time.

i have a warrior and every time the gates drop im praticaly laying on my handel bars and every time the gates drop i drop the clutch and the quad does a big wheelie and i have to hit the brakes to get it down and it seems like i never get a good start.
