burnout how? i errrr. forgot, yeh forgot

[18aprilia]

any of you lot know if it is possible to do a burnout on a rs125 one with only 14.6 bhp? i wanna go it ago tomrrow but forgot the techique, advice needed, !!!

You can do a burnout on pretty much anything.

Hold the frontr brake (tightly - this is important!) and ease the throttle and clutch to biting point. At this stage you'll feel the bike try and pull forward, but dip due to the front brake being applied. Now increase the throttle and with enough input the back wheel will spin. If you get really confident, get the gearbox into top and max it out..

Someone has money to burn.

hmmm cant wait to try, sounds abit dodgy with holding the front brake in and doing the throttle at the same time, it sounds nearly impossible bit it is late and i am starting to lose concentraion oh well, all's i can do is try Lol

[Jrod]

Lol? It's as easy as. The only reason I don't do it everywhere is a tyre costs me £100, I Can't afford that.

[18aprilia]

well i dont wanna go mad lol 100 pound for a tyre noway, i just wanna see if it is possible surley a few seconds wont do any harm...

[Silver]

Nah, the ideal time to do it is just before you change the tyre. Or, do it on grass which doesn't hammer the tyre as much (or cover everyone in smoke!) but it does burn the grass!

[18aprilia]

the only reason i ask is cause im thinking about making a bike movie 125 one, with my mate he has a honda cbr 125 and we need some tricks, the burnout is one, the no hander is another, ride with no hands, ummm and thats it lol oh and driving around!!

should be.. errr good, yeh good

If you are just doing it for a film, pour a little diesel or oil on the bit of road you are wanting to do it on (obviously not somewhere a car or bike is going to go) and it will spin-up a beauty with less tyre wear and clouds of smoke.

Remember to wash the tyre off with some hot, soapy water before you try going round any corners!

I burnout on my NRG on grass.... I released the front break and it moved forward and gathered speed but the wheel was still turning fast as possible... I came like 10 metres from end of grass, forgot I was on grass, broke and I just slid and then my bike rotated and I so nearly dropped it but I managed to hold it up and thought "phew"... ... then I tried it again.

i did my rs125 at 14.6 LOADS of times even gave fazed a whiff in traffic

The best way to square off a tyre is hold the front brake in hard as you can and push down on the front of the bike.

[Robby]

Erm.. one thing 18aprilia.

This is on a brand new bike, no?

Aren't you still running it in? Burnouts, ragging the arse off it, running it from cold. No ragging until you have about 600 miles on the clock, and no running hard from cold ever.

The warranty does not cover seizing the engine.

[RooRoo]

i can do burnouts on my cg, that lump of pure engine power can go for ages, leaving an indentation of rubber on the road, and a foul stench in the air...

[JonB]

I really must try this when my rear tyre is starting to die.

[mrchips]

I'm fast approaching my legal limit on my rear tyre after less than 3000 miles ( ) so may leave rubber on the road before I change it.

[stevo123]

Why? You know what it's all about, give the bike a break and look after it. This is not a personal dig at you i just have mechanical sympathy.

[Raffles_Gentleman Thug]

Burnouts are dead simple.

Just practice at the lights just feeling the bite point and you'll feel the bike slightly compress the front forks.

Thats the point where you really go for it for a burnout.

Which you don't want to do at the lights!*

Its a good way to give a Viking Burial to an old pair of tyres or start to scrub some new ones in.

another way of being out of pocket in terms of rubber pennies is to lock up the rear! Try changing down VERY quickly and the rear should lock up - i must notify the implications regarding the wear on the chains, sprockets, engine and most importantly the tyre when doing it, but it feels so, so, so cool - especially after a hard slog in physics on a friday afternoon Burnouts in wet is much easier as the rear spins more, but the dramatic effects from the smoke will be much reduced - fun still if you want to know what your rear end feels like
