Rolling burnouts

[wkid_one]

now don't quote me on this - but don't you also run the risk of overheating the tyre and degrading its gripability (if you know what this means - then it is a word!)

[White trash]

Is what happens when a tyre seriously over heats is the oil (which tyres are now mostly made of!) comes to the surface and yess, lessens the "gripability". It also wears a nasty flat bit on top of the tyre and will make your bike "tram line" like a bitch.

So, if you only do burnouts on tyres you don't want to use again, you should be sweet.

There's an optimum temp to operate a tyre at for max adhesion. At the drags the idea is to warm it up and the rolling burnout also seemed to give it a better texture or something. It stuck better than if you just sat still and spun it up.
I suppose you could fit tyre warmers but it's more fun doin' burnouts, unless you fall on your head in front of the crowd, eh Doug?
As for doing it on the road I've never figured why anyone would do that, it doesn't take a great amount of skill so doesn't demonstrate anything that I would want to be demonstrating to anybody.

Why don't you concentrate more on stoppies and wheelies

I would love to find a rear that cost decent money, it might actually be a decent tire!

The main reason that I want to do rolling burnouts on this bike is for the comments that were made earlier, "I didn't think you would be able to on a 150", IMO you can do burnouts on anything, I have on lawnmowers, forklifts, radio controlled car, nifty fifty etc.

and a stationary burnoutis easy, or a feet down. i want an on the pegs 20-30kph one, not a huge one, just a nice smooth one (that is skill not a fluke)

i suppose it goes back to the 'good riders' forum. i want to be able to do any reasonabe manouvre on my bike to a high standard

Good man! And that is what improving riding skills is all about


I want to find a ratty 600 Bandit or GSXR to practice circle wheelies for exactly the same reason

yea i want to learn now on me 250 b4 i get a 600 so i dont go dropping the 600. and it is quite impressive when u do a ride around burnout infront of everyone. Nice to see that ur heading in that direction white trash
