How do you do starts (2stroke)

125s and larger I have always started in 2nd gear. There are many different techniques so I can't say what will work for you but I start with both feet down. Weight down on the seat and head up over the front # plate. Bike rev'd high and don't let the clutch out too fast (you'll either bog or loop out easily). At the initial jump you might seem sluggish but several feet out of the gate you will gain on/pass others who started in 1st gear and got a better initial launch than you. I don't ride pro but racing C and B class I have usually holeshot or get top 5 starts.

Have fun, and practice them a lot!

Pay attention at 0:27, this is where I learned.

I actually wrote an article that will help you out just yesterday: http://bit.ly/SEz3gU

Just get on that throttle and let go of that clutch !!

You gota kick it to start it!! LOL

Hey man,
The first thing you got to do is get Center of Balance (body position) down and correct and Master Of The 5 Controls. This is the foundation and where all techniques like hole shots stem from. You can google that or check this vid:

There is also Seated (center of balance) Attack Position.

Get that down man then do this for a killer hole shot!

Get up on the front of the bike and sit on the front part of the seat with your head over the handlebars.

When you sit on the front of the seat your weight is at the center of the motorcycle.
Stay in this position off the line to the first turn and transfer weight by leaning forward and back.

Lean your upper body back to increase rear wheel traction and lean forward to keep the front wheel down!

A lot of guys freeze off the gate. You got to move in the right way and find the right traction.

Move the upper body laterally from side to side to keep your bike straight out of the gate.

Don't freeze and drop your elbows and twist your upper body. Keep elbows high and control the bike by moving upper body side to side. This gives you the most control. Remember motocross is a game of precision, timing, and the big one control!

Feed the power to the rear wheel with the clutch and throttle as smooth and quick as possible!
A big mistake here is to just hammer the throttle and dump the clutch.

To get a great start you have to be smooth and precise with your clutch control.
Feed the power to the rear wheel with clutch and throttle together. You have to open the throttle and let
the clutch out according to traction.

Hope that helps!
Have a good one,

Clutch-2nd gear-Lean forward-Give it some gas-dump the clutch. That's how u do a start

You should start with both feet down in front of foot pegs so your perfectly balanced, have your head over bars and in 2nd gear. dont just dump the clutch. Feed power to the wheel with the clutch and throttle smooth and quick.
