Toss some cash at the motor and stock up on back tires. No power braking required.

It sound like your are going at it to easy. Its one of those things all or nothing. But if you do happen to get the tire to spin just a little. Depending on the type of tire you have it will get sticky. Then you may never get it to brake lose and probaly burn up the cluch.

Stand up off the bike, grab a whole handfull of brake, grap some RPMs and dump the clutch, nothin' to it. It smokes better without the H2o.

Stand up off the seat

tire should start spinning

if that doesn't work, try this:

B
stand up off seat
put bike in gear
keep clutch pulled and get those rpms up
grab a whole lotta brake and DUMP the clutch
this might make the bike lurch forward enough to get that tire a spinnin'

in either method, if something starts to go wrong, pull that clutch in and let off that throttle, but don't let off the brake.


Hope this works for you, man!
Watch just dumping the clutch I was watching a guy at a bar and he was trying that and when he dumped the clutch it lifted the front tire and he lost control and hit a car in the parking lot.

I've found it easier to burn out with my 103inch Dyna than it was with my 100hp Sporty, the Sporty was a lot lighter and would push the front tire. Try adding more air to the back tire; that really helps...and you could pre-load the shocks. That 4 over front end is putting the weight back, too.....

When I had my CBR1000rr I would just hold the front brake, rev it to about 8 grand, dump the clutch and you're smokin'.... I went through my first back tire in 3 months. Only got 3,000 miles out of that tire. When I had to put a new $300 tire on, I grew out of that **** quick.

Not that I'm admitting to or condoning anything.
Keep the bike straight. Grab the front brake, twist the throttle stand up on the pegs, dump the clutch at the same time lean forward, put your weight on the bars (and tank). For a rolling burnout release the brake as the tire breaks loose.
Do it on a cold tire, and hard pavement.
