Question

Can I do a burnout on any motorcycle?

Adam Monk

Community Answer

No, because if the front brake is terrible then the bike will just push it along.

Question

How can I do a burnout with an automatic motorcycle?

Community Answer

Lock the front brake, and give the throttle it all. If that doesn't work, it's not happening.

Question

It didn't produce smoke in my 110cc scooter. Are there any ideas to produce smoke?

Community Answer

You either need to amp up the speed or have a bigger back tire so there is more contact patch which burns more rubber.

Question

How can I perform a front wheel on a bike?

Community Answer

To perform a stoppie or endo, simply get to the desired speed (I prefer above 30 mph) and then hold down the front brake for about half a second. The you just have to balance so that you don't tip over. To end, either keep rolling or lean back and hit the front brake again.

Question

Won't there be a risk of an accidental wheelie?

Community Answer

Yes. You could also start a fire with your brakes. Another risk would be when if you let go of your brakes accidentally, you could tip over and get badly injured. Another thing is when you're using too much throttle, you could blow a rod and destroy the engine. The rod could hit your leg causing serious injuries.

Question

How do I go into second gear?

Community Answer

You can't do that while the bike is moving. If you pull the clutch to go into second gear, your bike will stop.

Question

Can I do a burnout on a 125 cc bike?

Community Answer

Yes. Squeeze the clutch and front brakes with four fingers. Your thumb should turn the throttle. Lean forward with feet planted on the ground and commence burning rubber.

Question

Can I do a burnout on a bike with drum brakes?

Community Answer

I doubt it, but you can try. I think the bike's brakes will be too weak though.

How do I know when to stop doing a burnout on a motorcycle when it comes to tire blowout?

Try to time your burnouts to around 10-15 seconds, depending on the amount of tread still left on the tire.

Question

Can I do a burn out on an Apache 150?

Tiffany Walaski-Cayce

Top Answerer

The Apache 150 had discs brakes, so you can do a burnout on it. If they we'e drink brakes though, I wouldn't advise it because they aren't strong enough to keep you from moving forward.

Question

Can I do a burnout on a Ducati Streetfighter V4?

Tiffany Walaski-Cayce

Top Answerer

Yes, your motorcycle has a brembro braking system, one of the highest quality disc braking systems in use today. It's imperative for a motorcycle to have disc brakes to do a burnout. Drum breaks are not strong enough to keep you from moving forward. It can be done with drum brakes if the person doing it has extremely strong legs.

Question

Can I do this on an Apache?

Tiffany Walaski-Cayce

Top Answerer

Yes, any bike that has a disc braking system can do a burnout. Doing them with drum brakes would be difficult because they aren't as strong and will not keep you from moving forward. With drum brakes, heat builds up inside them with excessive use.

Question

Can I do a burnout on a Honda XR80r?

Tiffany Walaski-Cayce

Top Answerer

You do all the steps listed above except don't ever try doing this in the dirt or grass, as there will be too much traction and your bike is going to take off. Make sure you're on smooth pavement.
