I know there's been discussion on here on how many fingers everyone uses for the brake and clutch during normal riding.  My question is, since you need to both hold the front brake lever and roll on the throttle in order to burn out, what fingers do you use for each?  Usually I would be more comfortable to me to hold the brake with my pointer and middle fingers, but then it feels awkward to roll on the throttle with my ring and pinky fingers.  It still feels awkward the other way around.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hold the front brake with your pointer and middle fingers.  that's the two closest to your  thumb.  Then just wack the throttle while slipping the clutch. 

Oh yeah, and imho, burnouts are the stupidest thing ever, they take absolutely no skill at all...a freaking baby cold get a bike to burnout, so save your tire and learn some riding technique.

The only decent burnout i can think of that's worthwile is the burnout turn around.  I used to do it on my dirt bike.  You can turn the handlebars and lean the bike to do a quick 180 degree turn around, it's pretty sweet on the dirtbike.  Unfortunately i don't have a cage on my strett bike so i'm not ready to dump it just for that.

I do agree, once you learn how to do this you are going to have to buy a new tire.  And once you buy that tire you might change your mind on burnouts.

I've been riding as much as possible since I started in December.  I put 900+ miles on my first bike in two months and now 2000 miles on my new bike in three months.  I am definitely pro mileage when it comes to learning how to "ride".  This thread was just for my information.  I don't plan on doing extended burnouts, or really many burnouts at all.  Just wanted to know proper form.  Thanks for the input.

I am interested in the information so I could do it on my tire since it will need to be replaced soon so might as well have some fun.

dude...burnouts are a breeze...

just let the clutch out quickly once the revs are high....

and keep the brake squeezed and waste that tire!

there was this guy that i took my liscence test with that had a brand new GSXR and when he burned out the flying rubber ripped off his rear fender stuff with the lisence plate and everything, he was pretty pissed.

Like some others said, burnouts are pointless, but they are fun... The best time to do them is when you are replacing your rear tire that day. If you feel like it, you can have all 4 fingers on the lever, or 3 like I usually will do. You kinda wanna use your thumb when you pull the throttle, as you get more in the RPMs and twist your wrist, squeeze the lever tighter...if your front tire keeps slipping with the wheel licked up, then you either need to let out some air in the front tire, or need a grippier surface. A good way to learn would be against a brick wall or something. Just don't do it against a parking curb, cause you could jump it a fvck something up.
