I know it's probably not great for the bike, but how bad is it. To me seems like it'd be harder on a bike dumping it from a stop or putting your tire on a curb/chalk doing a burnout. I just want to be EXTREMELY comfortable on my bike even when there is no traction, I practice locking up the rear in a slight corner just to get the feel of it in case I have to some day, AND a rolling burnout is just plain fun. I've done a few slowly working my way up in length. I start off in first, get rolling maybe 5 mph or so, pull in the clutch, keep feet on pegs, rev it up and dump it, ride till it grabs. I'm not talking redline, I don't have the *****/think that'd probably be much harder on the bike. Wanted some opinions, what would I be hurting the most?

 

Probably not great for the clutch, and if you dump it your ego would might hurt too.

 

True about dumping it, but if your lined straight and rolling a little, it tracks pretty straight. It's fun when it slides a little bit though! How about the gears/tranny? That was my main concern.

 

The tire life span.
Go for it, have fun.

 

the tire is the first to go but what the heck tare them up

 

Another fun part of the rolling burnout is the fishtail.

 

As long as your wheel isn't hoping, once you break the tire free, it's pretty low stress on the bike.

The tire on the other hand... But, hey, it's a consumable.

Hell yeah. Once you get better at it and more comfortable, if the bike has the power you can try 2nd gear. Get it just barely rolling about 5mph click it in 2nd, pin it and let it rip. The extra tire speed can get it a little squirrely but will smoke it up better and spin farther if the motor will pull it. My old little 100/100 95" would sit on the limiter in 2nd for quite a ways, using up 2 lanes. I miss having a shitty tire.

It shouldn't hurt anything, they hold up pretty good, lots of people been doing it forever. Just keep on top of your belt and clutch adjustment. I like what you're doing trying to get more comfortable on the bike in any situation. Not enough people really know how to ride anymore.

 

I would think the belt would suffer the most especially if it is not properly adjusted.

 

Thanks guys, that's what I was hoping to hear. Tire and belt, they're rubber - don't care about those. I like slinging my bike around the road and being comfortable with it. Plus it's fun and leaving a nice black mark with your feet on the pegs looks pretty cool haha!
