Arrrrg run away, the evil one is in this thread :lol:
Its one of those things that better shown and explained than written and explained mate.
You need your front works to be working well.... unlike mine semed to be. :shock:
And yeh the g/f now wants to come on the back to brighton so i'm deffo gonna make another trip in the decent weather.
How hard can it be?
Position your bike straight, both feet on the ground to keep things stable, get the revs up high and jam the front brake on as hard as you can. Release the clutch for first gear to engage, working the biting point until the rear starts to spin.
Then, you can expect your tyre to get hot, and lots of very smelly smoke to start clouding around you. As your tyre heats further, the rubber will begin to melt and fling out from the back of the bike. At this stage, you may also want to think of the strain you're putting on your engine, chain, and sprockets.
When you're done, you should be several hundred miles closer to needing a new tyre, without having actually gone anywhere. It'll also be a bit more squared off, affecting the bike's handling and feel. So prepare yourself for a premature visit to the tyre fitter.

Or, in other words, do it the day before you're getting new tyres anyway.
and yes, they are as simple as Billy says, but don't blame us if/when it goes horribly wrong.
Slightly off topic, but I used to do them in my 5.0 Mustang at Santa Pod, good fun!
Rev the engine to about 2500 (its a lazy V8 ) and drop the clutch and touch the brake with your left foot while keeping the revs up, rear wheels spin and you can increase the revs until the desired amount of smoke was achieved, then gently release the brake to perform the "rolling burnout" 8)
Just incase anyone wanted to try it in a RWD car! :D

you might need to make sure that your tyres are very warm indeed.
you wont be able to do it on cold tyres, or cold road, or both.
no heat - no grip.
but then same applies to the rear too.

Yep, th only time that i will do a burn out. Last time was on London bridge between 2 busses.
Why anyone wants to do this to thier bike is beyond me. You must just be made of money.

The secret is simply to compress the front suspension first, this way there's very little load on the rear and once it's spinning fast enough the front won't budge with the brake applied even on stone cold tyres - just a question of technique.

I never had a problem doing em before, but just that day my front brake would not hold the wheel still for some reason. I've striped my front brakes since then and gave em a good clean so i'm sure it was just that.
Maybe i'll practice at soho next week ;)
whats the point apart from on a bike where you just about to get new tyres?
Today at work i did it in a C180, a vauxhall omega and a VW transporter. :-p

veedub transporter doing burnouts?
Now thats a vid worth seeing :lol:
ha i think its being rented 2moz at 8am but there's a vivaro still . ill do a movie using my phone. I find they work best when the road is cold and tyres are cold. Obviously- but worth remembering if you're doing it on a bike. Perhaps that's why some were struggling though im sure its down to technique :)
