i have never realy gotten into burnouts much, but i tried doing a rolling burnout today and my front tire would just slide before my rear would break free. i have an f4i and my forks are set as stiff as they go. i dont know if that might be why. i tried adding air to my back tire going from 18 to 30 but still nothing. what should my pressure be in my front tire,it is at 22 right now.

 

theres alot of helpful threads about this if you use the search button

 

just lean foward and keep practcing

 

run the front tire flat and don't use the front brakes................pot vid! :-P

 

just shove your handlebars to the ground while you cram the front brake and dump the clutch...and lean forward
if the rear is pushing the front you need to snap the clutch and spin the rear faster

what tire are you runnin on the rear... dunlop 208s are really easy, pilot powers can get a little hairy sometimes

 

you gotta find the spot where you can grab your frt brake without the wheel locking up (like to where it just slows the bike) and then lean foward on the tank then dump the clutch, and what the smoke in ya mirrors, i ain't got no problem breaking the rear aloose at like 40-50 mph oh yea you may want to be in like 2nd or 3rd when ya doin'em

 

thanks i will let you know how it goes.

 

well obviously get the rear tiring burning out by leaning against your front end/handle bars. and then start to let off a little with the brake finding that spot that lets you start moving but your burning out with the back tire.

it's fun as hell, thats why people do it all the time. Not cause it looks cool. at least with me. I think its so fun tooling around on my tank doin burnouts.

last man standing comps seem like a lot of fun. try to knock each other off, and whoever falls off or has their rear wheel stop spinning loses.

Main thing for me is its easier to start doing them if Im moving already rather than starting at like 3mph. I usually start mine at like 10mph or so in first. All about just slipping the clutch and leaning forward.

 

believe it or not more gas works better and is easier on your clutch..

 

I had the same problem as you man, I just got em not to long ago, got em on lock now. Just takes practice like anything else I suppose..

Only down side, is I found that Ill new a near rear tire very very soon.

 

wheres Hazen

 

lean as foward as you can.......... grip the fr brake tight....... then dump the clutch at a comfterble rpm and slowly loosen up on the brake.... until u start to roll. it helps to keep your feet down the first couple of times... ( not as training wheels but as a safety if the bike gets squirly)..... then pick ur feet up andsteer with your ***........

 

well i still can not start them from a roll still, so i did them from a stop then let off the brake and i got half a circle yesterday, i tend to slowly let off the gas as i am doing it though. i have 15 up in the back so my tire probably isnt spinning as fast as a stock spocket. do i have to worry about the back wheel sticking and flippin me over because i think i am afraid of that, which may be my problem.

 

I dont think so man, unless you hit some crazy *** surface.

 

Lots of ways folks prefer, but I don't use any clutch on my rolling burn outs, I just cover the clutch in case I get squirly (with anything I usually do). Roll straight about Idle speed (engine starts to bog down), stand up and lean over your tank, apply enough FRT brake (just before it locks up), all while snapping the throttle. Find a lot and just do it. It just takes trail and error. You won't loop if you're weight is over your tank and your not using the clutch.

-Or start out in the highchair position. Those are a bit easier to learn on, for me...

Usually to get good at anything you'll have a few falures. Just be safe and master it in the lots before you take it to the streets. Good luck!
