Although I've had motorcycles for years, I just got my first sport bike. What's the proper way to do a burnout?? I'm not the kind of guy to do anything stupid on a bike, but am curious how it's done.

 

welcome to KF. get on your bike. stand up with feet on the ground put bike in gear, push down on the bars while sqeezing front brake lever and let out the clutch lever.

 

I don't mean to sound stupid or rude, so if I do, please forgive me, but what exactly is the purpose of a burnout??????? I think it would jsut make you need a new back tire sooner.

 

just like any other stunt it just looks cool. there is no purpose. but it does shorten the life of your tire

 

they are fun!!! I practice every night in my garage. I am sure my neighbors love me I don't normally do them at the drag strip because I have only broke traction once and that was on a cold day. I am not putting enough power to the ground to warrant a need for burn outs at the strip. But I am getting damn itchy to upgrade my bike to a ZX14. I want to go faster!

 

Ok, i figured it was a cool thing, but I wanted to be sure. SG, if you get the 14 PLEASE PLEASE post up! My height will not allow me the opportunity to own one of those but damm, they are bad azz bikes!!!!!

 

soon as I pay off one of the shop credit cards my hubby said I could start looking. So you all could help me out by buying stuff, lmao. Shameless plug

Than I could be like: I want to thank my sponsor, Kawasaki Forums!
