Try sitting back on the seat more to put more weight over the rear tire, and make sure you pop the clutch if you dont pop it quik enough the tire usually will spin, the key is to put weight to the rear of the bike it makes it much easier.

I tried sittin back farther last night it seem to help alot and made it easier to find BP.....as for the the clutch i pull it back and snap it right off my fingers do suggest another way?

I just use my index finger to pull in the clutch about an inch rev the R s up to about 9-10,000 and release the clutch,and keep the R's up.
