full front brake mid throttle pop clutch let er smoke. waaaaaaaaaa shift gears waaaaaaa. i cheer for them to. good luck and enjoy the sounds and smells of a harley burnout.

 

Hope you don't break your rubber band

 

God, what a bunch of girls on this forum! LOL. Here's a quick burnout I did on a buddy's rental bike he was foolish enough to give me the keys to. Hold the front brake tight and roll the throttle with your palm. Stand up to get all the weight off the back tire, push forward/down on the bars and fan out the clutch through the friction zone. Depending on the road surface you may have to really work the clutch. Its not about throttle, its about clutch work.

 

LMAO

 

I agree what a bunch of girls on here. Go for It. It's your bike and your money for a new tire. Burn outs are awesome. Now not to say I havent done a few, I tent not to beat on my bike all the time. A few burnouts here and there are not going to hurt anything at all. Couple questions for you though first. Did you buy the bike to have fun with it or baby it so it's perfect when you go to sell it?

 

LOL.
Nobody so far who's done one on a Rocker?
240 rear tire, skinny front, and more weight on the rear and less on the front from having a little rake.

Can't see how it's going to hurt anything, as long as the rear tire doesn't "dead hook", and the bike drives off on its own.

I'd rather not break, or strip the cogs off my rubber band too. Don't care about tire life. Rubber debris usually brushes off pretty easily, as long as one isn't using super-sticky drag tires.

 

Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!


Post a vid of it like BikerLaws when you do, Warp. I'd love to see it!!!!

 

 

LOL, using a wheel chock and a wall (and probably water to start) is cheating!
Sounds like his rpm limiter is working good though.

 

I have a Rocker and have been doing burn outs forever. My last 2 bikes - a 2000 Lowrider and a 99 Road King both had dual discs in the front and a skinny rear tire ( 150 and a 130 ) They both also had 95in motors w cams. Doing a burnout on either bike was effortless. Click it into 2nd, grab the front brake hard and let her rip. I could produce a cloud of smoke anytime/anywhere. The Rocker is a different animal though. With that gumball tire on the back, a skinny front plus only a single disc to hold it it ain't easy. No matter how hard I hold the brake the tire just slides. Without cheating by putting the front tire against something its tough. I gave up on standing burnouts, every now and then I dump the clutch on a roll and get some good rubber but thats it. Not sure it will do that stock cause I never tried, I have a 103 w cams and its pretty easy.
