The BMW oem clutch is a nightmare. I've been getting tips of Allerton but he also still has issues. They use aftermarket solely for that reason in the WSBK they built for Laguna.
Even Cerby dropped back off the line. If you watch some of the other riders footage you can see the bmws dropping back off the start. Brett Kitchin said, he just accepts he's going to lose places off the start and have to make them up. Sloan Frost had a similar issue at PI ASBK on the weekend, so I know it's not just me. It can be mastered, but it's so hit and miss, and I've only done a handful of starts on it. You have to do like a street start - if too many revs it grabs violently.
I'm saving for aftermarket. I'm already over it. That's part of the reason I was so far back in the first place. I lost 8-9 places off the start in the first race then ran off trying to make them up It's soul destroying and you become so anxious thinking about as you come up to the line.
