          like I always say it is a good place to start from.

          stock clutch and a 19" wheel makes the VRT quite long--- you will have good luck getting started when the second bulb is lit.

          VRT= Vehicle-Reaction-Time - that is how long it takes your bike to get moving and roll out of the beams.
