I was wondering how to do a rolling burnout?? And also what should I gear a 98 GSX600 for wheelies??

 

I've been trying to do them for a couple days now.. but no luck.

from what i was told... you have to lean forward, apply the front brake andpop the clutch all at the same time?

like i said... i still can't get them to roll @ all....

How much front brake do you use... and should you pretty much be hanging over the front?

 

I would say start out by standing, then once you have the rear tire spinning, let out a little brake and your rollin. Just my

 

Heres me technique which i'm working on at the moment.

Roll along at about 5mph, get a feel for how much pressure should be applied to the front brake, you want it to be enough to slow the bike but not to stop it completely.

Next step is to pull the clutch in, keep rolling then in one fluid movement, pull in the front brake at the pressure, give the engine some revs, release the clutch fully(make sure you do this or you may fry your plates), and get your weight over the front. Make sure your comfortable on the bike, my body position is usually legs spead right around the tank(pretty much like i'm humping it). All this together should be enough to get the rear burning. Make sure you hold the front brake on whilst the rear is spinning to stop it getting away from you, and try and hold constant throttle, enough to keep the bike going. With practice you'll be able to feel out exactly revs and brake needed and you'll be able to roll them like 2nd nature.

Good luck.

 

I do just about the same thing but the first couple of times be ready for that front wheel to move out a litte side ways. I laid it down when I first tried it because no one told me. Control that front before you lay hard on that throttle.

 

This worked really good for me when I'm learning. Even now I do it that way.

 

the faster your tire spins the more the back of the bike wants to kick out.
keep tire speed low...

the more weight on the front the easier for the back to spin and less chance of the front washing out.
look over the screen at the front tire.

get ready to go through tires and clutches learning

 

Be prepared to drop the bike learning this trick. I took off my fairings and got them down pretty good over a weekend a while back. Biggest thing to watch out for is thinking that you have it mastered. In the blink of an eye the *** end will kick out on you, leaving you on the ground thinking "what the f@ck just happened??" Good luck learning and have fun replacing tires.

 

lets go burn some tires, thanks guys!!

thanx guys... i went to practice last nite... and have gotten a few to roll...

i think my biggest problem is trying to do everything @ the same time... thinking about too many things

and amen to leaning far forward.

 

It's all about timeing and coordination bro. This is where all those years of playin Nintendo & Play Station come in handy! Here is a pic of me on my old R1. I always keep one finger on the brake, and as I'm rollin on the gas I apply more pressure on my finger untill I feel the tire start spinning. Just make sure you load the front end before you gas it or it will slide out! Hope that helps a bit.
