Yeah he had to be inexperienced or the person setting bike up wasn't teaching him about the setup he riding and how a auto works. He should have told him before he ever sat on that bike, that if bike gets out of sort just hit shift button and don't chop the throttle......
Here is another set I took at the drag strip a few years ago... these were published in a magazine....

IDK call me crazy but I'd be more worried about destroying my "frame" more than a transmission on a bike When I broke my thumb it cost almost $3K worth of medical expenses..... and that was for a Thumb!! I dont see a transmission costing more than a serious injury
Us track junkies use the rear brake as a wheelie control device. Does the rear brake not serve the same purpose for drag racers?
My second question is, if there is no means of avoiding a loop on one of these fire breathing demons, why would anyone throw a leg over the seat? Seems suicidal to me, eh?

anyone seriously into drag racing usually removes all the rear brake components and half of the front to save weight.
Its seems crazy to me too, but hey, I dont race.
