KX Newfie:
Right on  :-D That's gotta be it  :-D...........man she friggin rips now  :-o

Can't wait to try her tomorrow.

I' had a good laugh on one of threads awhile back, about a guy asking what would happen if we dumped the clutch from first to second...LOL !!!

I can easily loft my K5 in fifth without clutch, & not even in the power.....& that is with the crappy power jet setting.

My bike is a monster  :evil:

Sorry for the rambling / bragging....but i love my bike  :mrgreen:

Hillclimb#42:
Not dumpin' from 1st to 2nd, just second gear. Pinned and dump it. Believe it or not, thats the method used for holeshot in hillclimbing. It is half or 3/4 insane. Try getting the wheel spinning and keep it spinning for  a comfortable length drag strip. Its funny to me, to watch guys trying to race without spinning the wheel. Sometimes they are upside-down before breaking the first set of timing lights.
  Glad to hear your bike is running better. check out some hillclimb vids on youtube. 2nd gear all the way, pinned.
