lift the throttle.

thanks to the fact that we don't have Carbs it's typically better to not just mash the throttle anyways. SRM takes car of your revs.

Yeah, as I mentioned above, I let up on the gas these days. Thanks for the clarification and info!

powershifting. one of the main reasons why my dc5 had tranny problems. In the manual it says to double clutch for upshift until it warms up, since I read that I do it every time and it works about 80% of the time sometimes the tranny is just too cold and the hammer doesnt seem to want to engage. The gates or whatever they are called seems be less obvious when the tranny is cold as well.

Without grabbing the book and looking, you talking about the Z manual? God knows I've read a bunch of it... LOL
