Seems a bit fishy to me....almost looks like a setup??

Had a CBX550 ages back that chuckled a rod out the block whilst at open road speed, you find the clutch quite helpful when engine is seized...and hot engine oil on your boots is not very nice...

There's your problem, those bits are meant to stay inside the engine.

But it makes for such a nice rise in heart rate when they come out....:no::no:

What did the other guy help him do? Lock down the forks? I wanna know what the plan was, with the multiple camera angles, if the engine hadn't shit itself

There is a button on the black fork guard, or maybe a key hole camera.

Practicing starts, easier to lead from the front than come through the pack. Think he locked the forks down to prevent wheelstands off the start, they unlock under brakes/bumps in/by the first corner.

As said they auto release under brakes into the first corner.

I reckon it was a setup, was on vital awhile ago, that is alot of effort for a bike which sounded really bad as soon as it was started, I mean for a pretty professional video/crew setup to then use a bike that sounded that bad seems odd.

I agree, a few clues to it being done on purpose...
