well turns out a wire from my 2 step fuel pump controller came disconnected, so it was only getting 8 volts. Problem fixed!

Here you guys go. Something you have been wanting. Videos during the DAY! The burnout was about 1/2 throttle, it was the 3rd one today so i didnt really feel up to completely smoking them off lol... The vid from inside was right after that burnout, so i thought I would get traction from a dead stop, well i was wrong. The picture of my tire is what happens when you do a burnout on a grooved road... whoops.

I found that out the hard way after doing a burn out on my friends bike on concrete and busting the drive belt. Later learned, after buying him a $198 belt... that you'll bust it almost every time burning on concrete on a belt drive bike, it is to much traction.

Didn't say that it "wouldn't do it".
It will do it, mine will do it too (if I'd let it), the motorcycle even did it for quite a while.....

You get more smoke from pavement (black top), your tires heat up faster and more evenly on pavement, plus 50% less wear and tear on tires, u-joints, transmission.
Better show + better performance + saves parts + saves money..... heck yea... I personally will never do another concrete burn out again! Just seems silly.

I agree about not doing it again on that road mostly because the damage it did to my tires, but I'm not concerned with tearing stuff up, it can only put as much strain on stuff as there is power...WOT is WOT, putting the same amount of force on your drivetrain as a WOT launch. It was just a good place at the time.

Not true, more friction = more traction. It's probably the same as adding 400 lbs in the bed.... I wouldn't add 400 lbs to my bed to do a burn out on purpose. The truck will probably do it with 1000 lbs in the bed and on concrete........ but really not good on things.... then ask yourself why you would do that....

The entire point and process of a burn out, the physics are to overcome friction.
If your adding more friction in anyway shape or form, then you'll use more power for the vehicle to have to overcome the friction.

Great example........

LMAO

He overcame friction alright, but it wasn't the friction of the tires....... LMAO
