What's the rules with doing burnouts?

[bosslady]

Just as the title asks. My rear tyre has come to an end and I'd like to use the opportunity before I replace it, to do some burnouts... why not? But I'm not sure where I could do them without getting in the poo with the po po? Is it ok if I do it in my work car park? (dont suppose you can waterblast off rubber?). Only problem is that it's not fully fenced. Thoughts?

Why not do it in your own driveway?

[bosslady]

Why not do it in your own driveway?
Can't. Shared driveway (body corporate).

[bogan]

Rule #1 Get it on camera
Rule #2 See rule 1

[koba]

If it is on black bitumen it's best to keep it moving, otherwise the seal will melt.
Static burnouts on proper concrete are no problem.

[cynna]

just do it outside any burger king on a fri or sat night

[bosslady]

Rule #1 Get it on camera

Already on to it! Gonna set the go pro up and/or see if a work mate will video.

Yea its not black bitumen, proper concrete. Someone told me I should put a bit of motor oil down to help the wheel spin!

[ellipsis]

...not outside my place after 4am...

[Damantis]

Preferably with the property owners consent.
Safest with the front wheel chocked / against a wall / barrier etc

cover the clutch just incase it decides to bite

Then pick someone you don't like and go and ruin their pavement.

I seem to recall a thread on here where a tyre place lets you do a burnout in their yard before fitting the new one.:cool:

[skippa1]

Love watching them, wouldn't do one on my bike. Stresses the shit out of the clutch and g'box when you drop the clutch. You go for it, but post up a video

Shouldn't need to use oil, it's best kept of road surfaces...

Outside a hospital. It's bound to go spectacularly wrong.

Cant wait for the " somethings wrong with my clutch thread". :laugh::laugh:

so gonna do a burnout in some other "cats " driveway eh?


think it's Drury tyre centre with the burnout pad...........good luck

Amateur burnout on a DRZ400 on tarmac, were I a bookie, I'd give even odds for the clutch going, also even odds for it being dropped if the front isn't wedged against a wall.

[Kickaha]

If you have to use oil/Diesel etc it doesn't count as a proper burnout

[Smifffy]

According to the po-po if you are going to do a burnout you also need to smash bottles and spread diesel over the road. They say this is mandatory for a good skid.

set one on the side of the engine in case something pokes out while you're whipping it...

[SMOKEU]

Is there a skid cruise out your way in the weekends? If so, follow it and do a fucking skid. FTP.

Any skid is better than having traction.

We don't own, we lease, better see if I can get the rubber off the ground, don't want to have to look at it every day.Good advice too thanks.


cover the clutch just incase it decides to bite Chur for the advice bro!


Love watching them, wouldn't do one on my bike. Stresses the shit out of the clutch and g'box when you drop the clutch. You go for it, but post up a video
I need to wait for a dry day + having the time first. Will post up a video, even if it's a major fail!

If there's bets going, gotta setup some rules (hey it's like the thread title :D )

End condition, popped tyre or severe delmination.
Mechanical failure.
Rider failure (bike hits the deck).
Rider pusses out.

Perhaps a sweepstake would be the way to go, a tenner gets you in, winnings split between all who put a tenner on that answer.

I take it that the last option is valid if the session ends without any of the preceding end results? Confirm that Bosslady is the only rider allowed, and there is a time limit on the session?

If so I'd be game for a hundy on option 4 ;)

[Laava]

My sons mate was doing a burnout and all the smoke was going straight over into the neighbours house. Next minute he had the hose from next door going full bore into his drivers window which was down. He got no sympathy from me when he was moaning about it.
So at least consider who has to smell or breathe the smoke from it.

[Deano]

Just don't get caught by anyone that could be an arse.

That's the one. Yes she's the only rider allowed, and put an hour down as a time limit.

Myself, I'll put 10 on mechanical, and 10 on dropping it.

Oh, and if a cop/authorite figure shows up, games still on, if she stops there it counts as pussing out.

The neighbour sounds like a dick. Skid smoke is great. Tell your sons mate to do a skid at 3am in the same spot.

[haydes55]

The following is factual first hand knowledge of both legalities and motard burnouts.

Fistly legalities:
Burnouts are illegal in a public area. Car parks, driveways or any other area accessible by public is public area. We had a drift car in my dads driveway/park, about 15m from the road at 7pm ish. Did a few donuts and burn out big smoke cloud, copper down the road heard/saw the smoke. Came barrelling up threatening all kinds of tickets. Stopped the car.

About 2 hours later we needed to get the drift car home to the neighbours so went to see if any cops were down the road. They were hiding in the bushes in our other neighbours. Some abuse was given and an arrest was made.

The next day at the cop shop we made queries and told next time;
1) lock the gate.
2) have a security guard
3) inform the cops before hand
4) they will try arrest us anyway (lucky we weren't lighting up a joint)
5) be cautious of smoke, wind direction and whether it could obstruct road vision.

So basically remove the license plate, scope out an industrial area that has an escape route small enough that a cop car can't give chase, wear different gear and don't stop.




As for burnouts on a motard, the long travel front suspension is a hindrance. Lean right over the front, support your weight on the handlebars. If you're not comfortable with trying to compress the forks, use a couple tie downs from the bottom of the forks to the handlebars. The front wheel will skip easily. If it bites, grab the clutch.

The clutch will handle it fine, don't ride the clutch (that's not a burn out anyway), just rev the tits off it, dump the clutch and keep all the weight you can on the handlebars.

Have fun! Smoke some rubber!

[scumdog]

[Laava]

No, skid smoke is boring. I don,t give a fuck so long as I do not have to smell or breathe it and I sure as hell aren,t interested in hearing it. Any fuckin yokel can do a burnout, hell I even saw a bloke in Otaika doing a burnout in a daihatsu Mira. One wheel only and that was bouncing up and down with just occasional puffs of smoke coming off it. Totally retarded.

[nzspokes]

Drury Tyres have a skid area for this. Another reason they are the best tyre shop.

[Ocean1]

The clutch will be fine.

But using a wall is gay. On the other hand if you don't then on a DRZ I doubt you'd break traction, you'd end up on yer arse.

[BuzzardNZ]

Do it outside the AA centre :devil2:

[AllanB]

The rules are simple.

Front brake on
Lots of revs
Slip clutch till you feel rear spin
dump clutch
maintain lots of revs

[nerrrd]

Don't burnouts come from a place where there are no rules??

I offer my dads driveway in Pukekohe or my flats shed in Hamilton any time to any burnouts. Or in the pits at speedway after a meeting. Wouldn't be the first nor last burnout at either venue.

[Reckless]

Drury tyres will let you burnout the last of your old tyre on their skid pad before they fit the new one..
They took some good pics and vid of my last tyre.

292775

BE careful when its low! The steel bands can trash your rear end.
Listen for the sound of them or get Mike etc to tell you when to stop.
You can tape some cardboard over your number plate or in the danger area.
Yep using oil to start is cheating. Best do it there where you can get some supervision if its your first go or at least get some practice first.

[nerrrd]

I've never bothered to do a "burn out". I've always owned a bike that I respected and wanted to keep intact. Tyre is only one item worn badly by this business. As mentioned by earlier wise old owls - your clutch will hate you. So will your 1st gear and maybe your chain or shaft...

Very true you don't have to redline it or trash the clutch to get back spinning? Once its going you can change through the gearbox?

You clutch has minimal use in producing a burnout - you'll do more damage farting around town taking off from light to light to light

Chain is doing what a chain is designed to do - spin happily along the sprockets - just as it does running down the road.

Sure the engine may head up for a short period of time but again no more than sitting at a traffic light.

It's a friggen one off end of tyre spin up - half of you will be doing more harm to your engines by idling the cold engine far too long thinking you are doing it a favour by carefully warming it up in the garage for 5 minutes.

Yeah - you've turned into a hoon - trash that throw-away bike girl !!!

[Trade_nancy]

Forgetting the question of the burn for a moment....just revving your engine at closing on red line without the motor having a normal load applied - by way of rider riding the bike on the road - will potentially do terminal damage to your engine internals. Without the workload - the engine is actually working far harder than the number on the tacho would have you believe - if it were being ridden.

I'm not worried about the sensibility because it's not. Sensible that is. I also couldn't imagine any mechanic that would think it a good idea. I'm sure more people would do them if they weren't scared they'd blow something up!

Depends how hard you do them, certainly the odd little squeally on mine doesn't stress anything to the max except grip. I would go until blowout due to the heat, but as I said, it isn't the clutch/gearbox etc many nanas on here are concerned about.

Not just for bogans, we're happy to share :woohoo:

So don't do it at redline :facepalm: if close to redline was so much more likely to grenade your engine, then chances are they'd move the redline lower.

Stop with the scaremongering you pussies, bosslady, be prepared to clean out some rubber from the guards etc, and if you're going for a long one, don't let it get too hot.

I do them all the time on the DR in the garage, but I hate that bike and spend as much time as I can trying to kill it. Its a stubborn little shit.:yes:
I even rode it off a big rock and over a bank on the weekend, and the fuckers still going. Hurt me more than the bike.:mad:

yeah right - the above tells me otherwise ...

What the fuck is your problem dude? I don't give a shit what you think, you're like a bad smell that keeps hanging around. On block you go.

But I bet it hasn't got a road tyre designed for maximum grip on it.

If she had max grip she wouldn't be wanting to get a new tyre?

[Katman]

Tyres are generally replaced because the tread depth goes below a minimum measurement - not because they have less grip (on a dry road).

Slicks generally provide more grip than treaded tyres.

So it's better doing skids on slicks because the engine is under load?

You do realise the DR is an engine that was built with low speed thrashing in mind. On a trail ride it could see high revs most of the time and never get over 40km/h.

I've seen speedway bikes doing 2+ minute burnouts til the tire popped, then out racing the next meeting without even looking at a valve. That has been 500cc singles and 1000cc multis. I've never heard of a bike blowing up doing burnouts.

The only time an engine/clutch/gearbox is at any heightened rate of stress is starting the burnout, if the rider rides the clutch or doesn't get the weight off the rear tire and it bites.



Bosslady, since it's your cherry popping time, you could get someone to hold/lift the rear of the bike to help get it started then smile for the camera.

There's a nice car park down in taupo to do phat skids on, outside the bike shop.

[unstuck]

But I bet it hasn't got a road tyre designed for maximum grip on it.

Nope a fairly well worn knobblie on a super smooth concrete floor that has many years of oil spills and other slippery shit, you could do a burnout on that floor on a pushbike, if you weren't a smoker.:laugh:

Ok bosslady heres something you don't apear to have thought out.
Your tyre is now worn out so fairly close to needing replacing. You do a big ol burnout and rip the tyre down to canvas.
How are you planning on getting the bike from where you do the burnout to home and then to the tyre shop?
Thats why I'd say if you have to do it --do it at the tyre shop

The whole thing reeks of fail before it's begun, and I for one can't wait to bear witness to it.

Slicks generally provide more grip than treaded tyres. Agreed. Only replacing it because I have to, legally, otherwise I'd have waited a little longer.

Racing a big boy bike for 5 years, rebuilding the clutch after every meeting and every crash.

How do enduro bikes not fuck their clutches after every steep wet incline? How is the strain on the engine then any different to a burnout?

Do you expect her to sit on the spot at the limiter for 2minutes trying to bake the engine? She may be a female but baking isn't always her intention. Those DR series engines are pretty rigid. If a clutch goes kaput, she did it wrong, and a new clutch kit is a couple hundy and an easy install. Or just buy/clean up the plates, and oil change.

[Katman]

Do you really think it takes as much effort to spin a dirt bike wheel in muddy conditions as it does to spin a road bike wheel on dry tarmac?

Just how fucking stupid are you?

And besides, why do you think the clutch is the only thing that may suffer?

[tri boy]

I suppose it depends on who you're prepared to listen to regarding the sensibility of the idea.

I doubt that very many mechanics would advise you that it's a great idea.

Those that are encouraging you to do it either have no clue of what it could potentially do to your motor or are secretly hoping that it goes tits up. Everyone loves a fail story after all.

And then there are mechanics who have a life/personality/daring do/friends/party attitude.
Treat yourself, and buy a new anorak.

Fuck me I think I logged into GAYBIKER by mistake.


Some years back before watercooled bikes (well apart from the CX500, Z1300 and Suzi waterbottle ..) bike shops ENCOURAGED you to light up the rear tyre when you rode it in to replace it.

Shit I watched riders pass their bikes to the mechanic to light it up as they were unsure what to do.

Yes they are both under similar load. Have you ever done a burnout? Once traction is broken, almost immediately, there is little load on the engine. That was someones argument before wasn't it? That the engine isn't under load and it harming the engine the same as if you rev the tits off it in neutral.

Heres an example, I have had an engine turn into Swiss cheese from revving it for too long. On the start line, clutch in, full throttle, the ref was waiting for a rider who was creeping before he let the tapes go, none of us knew this and I didn't want to lose the gate, so held it full throttle for about 5 or 6 seconds (ref said 1 to 3 seconds at briefing, but I don't trust my counting on the start). Bam, snapped rod, lunched engine. 5 seconds revving a warmed engine with no load and its dead. Yet I've done burnouts on the bike both with that engine and the replacement, for a shitload longer and nothing bad happened. In fact the oil drained afterwards had no metal flakes.

I think I'm waffling on now. But if any engine component gives way on a burnout, it would give out on an enduro anyway. And bossladys engine is an enduro based engine, designed to operate at slow speeds and high revs for long periods.

[Katman]

Now I should point out that he never did a burn out, thus the 'burnout' did not cause any harm it was his utter inability to control the bike in any form!

[gammaguy]

I need to pop a skid on my SRAD since the rear tyre is at the wear indicators.



I remember that happening to me one night at the skids. I had to climb out the drivers window. I wasn't driving though. It was a good night, and I got a free ride back to my mates place in a Commodore with those flashing lights on the roof.

When they do the skids up my way,that's the most common transport home

Total fail. Not sure how to load a video from my tablet to show you what happened, which was nothing by the way but at least you get a nice view of my fat arse? I obviously did it all completely wrong, but at least I tried? Really found the fact I can't touch the ground quite hard but very glad I was facing a wall as suggested otherwiseit would have been a catastrophe! Also think it ddidn't help that I dropped my bike on my leg a half hour earlier resulting in a broken clutch lever, a gouge in my driveway and a seriously big/hurty bruise/lump on my leg. Thou shalt not do a tight u turn up an incline whilst not keeping the revs up... will try and figure out this video thing...
