EXC Launch Control

[snarldom]

Anyone had any luck finding a Holeshot device for a KTM EXC? I have an '08 and am struggling to find something that fits. Having never had one before, am I right in thinking its because of the fork guard 'slider' at the base of the fork tube?

these are for an 2011 but according to what i can find guards are the same from 08-14 so should work this us web site dont think the exc was sold here in 08-09 hence no direct listing.

So what does a holeshot device actually do?

I don't ride motorcross so aren't likely to ever buy one, but I've seen them advertised and was curious as to what it was and what it does.

It's a device that holds the front suspension in a compressed state in order to reduce the tendency for the front end to lift when launching off the line.

Braking at the first corner releases the device and the suspension works as normal after that.

This is the one I bought that doesn't appear to fit, unless I remove the hard plastic fork gaurd slider that fits on the base of the fork tube (where the seal is). I'm thinking this is the only way to get one on there?

They're supposed to fit like this http://portal.emx.se/servlet/us_pyra?wts.PAGE=h_ix3.htm&%24echoType=VL&%24echoCode=26000000&p=H
