WHY Put bleach and water on tire for burn outs???????
Bleach is one slick son of a gun...what a lot of motor oil additives have in them. Learned that at a GM training center for (Care of bearings) seminar!!!!
Don't believe me... Put some on your finger and thumb and try to hold on to the end of a screwdriver....

Chlorinated parrafins are not found in ordinary motor oils, but rather in aftermarket additives such as "Dura-lube". Yes, I know you did say MO ADDITIVES, I was just reitterating what you said and listed one version of the additive it is found in. Chlorine is a highly corosive product and can cause problems with the metal used in engines, especially aluminum.

Where ever the urge hits.Just keep a eye peeled for the law.Lock the front brake, hammer down drop the clutch,or up against something stationary.For such inexpensive entertainment,and a short riding season go for it!

So will a decent motor and riding skill...guys if you wanna do a burn out puss style, use the front brake and go for it. If you wanna do a strapper which takes talent, rap the throttle and dump the clutch from a rolling start with your feet up. If you start to lose it, roll off the gas and hang on...DON'T PUT YOUR FEET DOWN, IT WILL END IN DISASTER!

I never cheat - IMO using something stationary to put your tire up against or having friends hold your bike is cheating. Hell - I could teach a gorilla to do a burnout that way. Anyway - theres 2 simple ways. Grab a handful of front brake - U usally rock the bike once to really lock the front brake - throw it in 2nd, twist the throttle and let the clutch out quickly. Once the tire starts to smoke you can have fun moving the back end around and/or feathering the throttle. The other and more difficult burn out ( but also more fun ) is the roll on. Simply get rolling in 1st - pull in the clutch, hammer the throttle and dump it. If your bike has any power be ready to fishtail. Just let off a little of the back end comes out to far and it'll straighten out. Not that I've ever done such a thing !! : )
