So I ordered a new rear tire for my GS, and was wondering if it was common practice to do one last burnout before putting the new tire on. I don't usually go around wasting my tires, but on my cars and trucks in the past when the tires are about bald I find it amusing to shed the remaining rubber in a smokey fashion. I was just wondering if people did that with motorcycles too. :cool:
Yeah squids do that.
But really, why ask us? You don't need our go ahead to do it or not do it.
In all the years I've been riding/driving I've never once felt the need to "do a burn out" just before a tire change.
If you do decide to do it, make sure you do it in your own driveway. Cause what right do you have to go to someone else's location and mark/damage their property? Doesn't matter if it's a carpark or back road somewhere, if it's not your property you have no right marking/damaging it.

I thought about it a couple of times but never did it---guess it's just the urge to get your money's worth out of it---to use it all up before ditching it.

What he means is burnouts are hard on the engine and transmission. Even the best of bullet proof engines can blow up during a burnout. I saw a video of a honda hornet shooting some part out through the side of the engine during a burnout. Great for entertainment for the crowd....not so much for the owner. :cheers:
If you keep the RPMs at a reasonable level you should have no problems with the engine, they usually don't keep it up long enough to overheat the engine. It's a stupid useless thing to do but it doesn't have to be a disaster. I think idiots that over rev their engines in neutral are far more likely to break things.
Found the video! :cheers:

lmfao what a dumb ass... or squid should i say :flipoff:
haha not going to lie, i have tossed this idea around. haven't switch my tar out yet though
if i did do it- i wouldn't be burning it to the rim. wouldn't be slamming it in the reds. and i HIGHLY doubt i would post a clip to try and show how cool i was hahah it would be more for shits and giggles..
@norway - since when is it squid-ish to have a little fun on my moto? ;)
You're right Steezen, it wasn't the fact that he was doing a burnout, the same thing would have happened if he had taken off down the road and held it at redline ( probably deep into RL ) in first for that long. The only thing in a moderate *sensible burnout that takes a beating is the rear tire.
* The only really sensible burnout would be to heat the tire for quarter mile times.
I guess I'm in the minority here but we usually end the larger stunt shows with a "burn it 'till it blows" display.

i did it withmy first gs i had. ( out of 4). had a split in the tire so said wth. will get what i can out of it before tearing her down. lol lasted maybe 35 seconds
Wow.... watched that video. I don't think I will risk blowing up my bike. I also wasn't trying to be a "squid" or anything I was just wondering if people did stupid things like that. I live in rural kansas so burn outs are quite common around here lol.
i believe the saying goes.... "hold my beer and watch this shaZam!" i live in SC last time i heard that we ended up in a ditch lol
This is another reason why not http://youtu.be/emqvwB7sdWk - he almost drops the bike.
Quest: Do burnout
Result: Spend $$$ fixing fairings and other damage caused by dropping bike.
As I said, if you want to do it, do it on your own property - assuming you're paying it off cause renting still doesn't make it yours to mark/damage.
Otherwise, frankly, you are no different to any other vandal or graffiti cockhead.
Michael
i don't know mister, i wouldn't compare a skid mark on some tarmac with paint on a building/wall. i see where you are coming from though
and don't forget this one haha:

here is what not to do after your burn out... lol
Good luck, you been warned. Doing a burnout on an aircooled isn't the best thing for it.
I can't believe nobody on this board enjoys a good burnout! Have you no soul?? In the summer we have burn out competitions at the local fire company's car shows. I love lighting the tires up on my old Camaro. And like I said before, burn outs are a big part of stunt shows. The crowd loves when you end with a nice tire roasting! Here's some shots from the last stunt show at the Ocean City, Maryland Bike Week.

I don't think the problem is the burnout it's the asking everyone about it. If your gonna do it go and do it and throw it up on YouTube. Just do it in a legal place and wear the gear and make sure the bike has its oil topped up.
Whatcha mean by "legal place"? Next to some cops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shPmuLfyukM)? :D
I don't see the attraction, anyone can do it, it's not even a stunt ---wheelies are stupid but they at least take some skill to perform.
I can see it now;
And now folks, for the highlight of the evening, what you have all been waiting for--- a bunch of morons making their rear tires spin until they smoke and disintegrate.
LMAO. yeah burnouts fall intl the lmaowtf category. but can be fun. i have a spare wheel, id use that i got with one of my gs', i kept for this purpose. did 1 burnout on my property. afterwards when swapping tire out, i said meh. did that, dont care anymore
I can see the somewhat fun part on an individual and private basis, but as an attraction at a major outdoor event???----I don't think so.
cleanup was a bit of a Buddha Loves You too. all over the underside of rear fender. i get on gstwin, and do the fenderectomy. lol. but all over the swingarm too. anyone wanting to do this. will offer advice. do it on private property. even at your local FF joint wiht owners permission. cops cant do anything. ( private property of course). BUT if away from home, bring a trailer to take it back. if you do a halfway decent burnout, it wont be fit to ride back. O0

Gotta disagree with you, there is skill involved. Just look at all the burnout wrecks on youtube to see those lacking that skill :laugh: While it may not look as impressive as a wheelie, riding a burnout takes a lot of front brake control just like a stoppie.
-Jessie
very true. a stoppie can endup an endo. with just a hair too much front brake
Balti, the majority of burnouts don't involve any "riding", they just stand there with their feet on the ground holding the front brake with an open throttle.

I misunderstood, I would definitely agree with that :thumb:

Edit:
I have lots of raw video from the OCMD Bike Week show that I need to edit. I dug out a video clip of what I mean by "burn out." Cody Ives was there putting on a freestyle motocross show, I got to stand on the landing ramp while shooting which gives a cool perspective. I'm sorry to say I forgot this rider's name, he is not part of the B-moreX crew I was there with.
