A burnout is when you spin the wheels of a motorcycle while keeping the frame of the bike stationaryIt is possible to create a big cloud of smoke and impress your friends, but over time it can damage your rear tire.To do a burnout, take a strong stance, engage the clutch, and boost the engine.When you are ready to start, put the motorcycle in first gear and release the clutch.
Step 1: Stand with both feet on the ground.
Put the lightest amount of weight on the bike by standing over it.The motorcycle will move forward if the tires have too much traction.
Step 2: Take the motorcycle out and put it in neutral gear.
Start the engine with the key in the ignition.The temperature gauge should be checked after a few minutes to make sure the dial is at the halfway point.The engine should be in neutral gear while it warms up.The engine can be revved up a few times to warm it up.Allow the engine to run for at least 5 minutes.
Step 3: The clutch lever has to be pulled all the way in.
The lever on the left hand of the handlebars is where the clutch is on most motorcycles.Pull the clutch back all the way to the handlebars with all 4 fingers.Keep a tight grip on the lever.If your motorcycle has a clutch on the right handlebar, be sure to use all 4 fingers of your right hand.
Step 4: The front brake should be held with the middle finger of your right hand.
Hold the front brake with your right hand as you apply the brake.You can use the rest of your hand to work the throttle if you pull back the brake lever with your middle finger.The middle finger of your left hand can be used to apply the brake on a motorcycle.
Step 5: The motorcycle needs to be put into first gear.
The motorcycle will shift into first gear if you click the gear shift pedal.Keep the clutch engaged with your left hand.
Step 6: The gauge has a red line next to the engine.
Pull the throttle down with your right hand.Look at the gauge and see the red line towards the top.The arrow is 75% of the way to the red line if the engine is revved up.The bike won't move if the engine is in gear.It is important that you build up the engine before you put it into gear.
Step 7: To shift the weight off of the tire, lean forward slightly.
Make sure your feet are stable.Lean forward a bit to make sure that all of the weight is off the tire.
Step 8: To perform a burnout, let go of the clutch.
Don't let the clutch go to disengage it.Release all of your fingers at the same time.The rear tire will start spinning when the engine is in first gear.The wear and tear on your rear tire is caused by the longer you hold the burnout.
Step 9: To end the burnout, disengage the clutch and release the throttle.
Pull the lever on the clutch with your left hand, it will pull the engine out of first gear and into neutral.The brake should be engaged the entire time if you back the throttle with your right hand.Your motorcycle will not roll forward if the rear tire stops.Don't release the brake until the tire has stopped spinning.
