OneFastGsr. Pliers nor a cclamp will work. I guarantee it lol. Go to harbor freight and buy the chain breaker tool. It's 15 bucks and you can smash a rivet and push the plate onto the master link with it.

So went to the 1/4 mile today at a mile high. Ran 11.8 at 120mph when I wasn't accidently burning out/fishtailing xD. First time I've ever done that! I was proud of the rocks that were accidently embeded in my tire lol.

Yup! It'll run faster but I'm higher in elevation and I'm still a noob racer who dumps the clutch because I want to go fast :lol:.
Hanging out before the line moves! I'll see if my girlfriend will give me some of the running photos she snapped. But that's a long shot haha.

Which size engine is it?
I actually just read recently about a really good launch technique.
"Its a combination of leaving hard & having your weight forward. Grip the seat with your thighs and put your self up against the tank. You can put your head above the windscreen. Use your body as a ballast and keep your shift foot up on the peg when leaving so you have an "out" to short shift if you happen to slide back. Id put the tach at 12k... bike makes peak torque around 11k. When the flag/light drops... you pop the clutch to let the bike lurch forward but you dont totally release the lever unless you are sure you are driving off the launch. No point in bringing the rpms up to have them drop back to well below peak torque and bog. Now if you dont want to practice on your big bike... you can do the same thing on a mini bike til you get the feel of the clutch."
And a video of this guys launch.
