Your not transering your weight. Doesn't matter what your tire pressure is. Guys where wheeling long before 20 psi was ever around. When you let out the clutch rock your weight back. Problem solved.

Re: Please Help
I used to have the same problem. i found that i was giving it too much rpm before slipping the clutch. and i learned what slipping the clutch meant. i used to pull it all the way back with all 4 fingers and letting it go (dumping the clutch). then some guys told me to just use 1 or 2 fingers and pull it back only slightly (slipping the clutch), just enough to disengage the engine from the back tire, then give it rpm, then let the clutch go.
i used to give it around 12g's rpm (keep in mind i do have a heavy bike), but the more i learned clutch control, the less i rpm i could give it. AND i learned to time it all better (pulling in clutch, giving it rpm, and letting clutch go) for a smoother pick up.
hope this helps. ur not alone with this problem.
