Maybe this is an invitation to get the sticky Technique thread revved up again?

CVT driving technique

CVT driving technique, partial summary post

Lots of people have invested effort in this Forum. stevesmini asks a good question, a reasonable question, intended to improve the driving experience with the CVT. That's exactly what this place is all about. Check out the summary post as a way to get started reading in that thread. Any suggestions to improve it?

I think the answer to your question is "left-foot braking", which allows you to set a target speed with your throttle right-foot, keeping the revs up and shooting off the apex.
