Question

How can I do a burnout on my motorcycle?

Community Answer

First, put your bike on first gear, then hold the front brake strong stand on your legs, and lean forward. Slowly release the clutch and allow the rear wheel to run freely. Put the engine to second gear for a better result.

What is the maximum speed that can be used to do a stoppie?

50 - 55 kmph. Beyond that, your speed will throw you forward very hard.

Only do this trick on flat ground, never on hills unless you want to flip it and look stupid!
