Looking for any pointers on starting on the new metal mesh starting gate pads.
Ill be on an almost stock CR250 that I've always used 2nd gear for on both dirt or concrete starts and just adjusted my weight further back on concrete pads.....but I'm just wondering if I need to drop down a gear or keep the bike revving a little higher than usual etc. etc.
Thanks

As long as it doesn't get rained out I intend to hit practice up this Friday and they said they're planning on having a gate or two open so we can practice starts on.
I'll take some close ups of my rear tire before the day begins and once it's over and I'll try to remember to keep track of how many starts I do.
You can so some testing on a reasonable hot day if you have good asphalt around (not concrete, but asphalt)
Lock the front down and put your weight slightly forward
Also had them when we raced the GPMX amateur race in Jacksonville a few years ago
I wasn't sure if I would have a chance to practice on them at all before actual race but it looks like they'll have a few of them open this weekend.
Sounds like it might actually help even the playing field with 4 strokes equipped with launch control since it would have been a concrete start.
