Question

How can I do a burnout on my motorcycle?

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.
Question

Does a beginner have to pull the clutch along with the front brake?

Community Answer

You have to raise the accelerator, along with the front brake, and you can hold clutch if you want.
Question

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

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