drag racing

For the guys who drag race your bikes, how the hell do you learn to get it off the line? Seat time and practice? I'm so used to riding my stock wheel base stock ride height R1 that trying to launch the GSXR I just bought just feels funny lol. The GSXR is lowered and stretched 6". I either bogged it or spun the back tire. Tips would be appreciated.

Practice, just like cars.

gsxr what?

i'd rev mine to ~7500, ease out the throttle till it starts grabbing, pull it in just a little, lights go down and let it rip. need a sticky tire and seat time.

It was a 600, 750 now. Should I pretty much wrap it open and mainly worry about controlling it with the clutch?
