Tire Smoke
 

I've always wondered about this, but I have yet to find another Super Hawk rider to give me their opinion.

I have never been able to light up my rear tire, unless it is cold. Once it gets hot and sticky the bike will push the front tire before the rear breaks loose. Anyone else find this to happen?

Yeah, for me, once that rear is warmed up, it won't slip at all........but isn't that a good thing? Unless you like doing burnouts at every red light :)

...and I've only done a few burnouts on my SH, only when I need a new tire...I figure why NOT light this one up?...but every time I decide to do one I have to pull down to the edge of my driveway where there is a bit of sand and dirt to get it started easily. Starts burning right away.

It depends on the kind of tyre. My last tyre was a Michelin Pilot Power and it was pretty hard to let it skid. Know i'm driving a Michelin Pilot Road, which has a little harder innerline. This makes it a little easier. Simply rev it up and let the clutch go quick fast while pulling the front brake.

once they get sticky, its hard to keep it going. You could severely underinflate or overinflate to make it break loose easier.

Ya, mine is hard to break loose too. I only do it when I am about to change rears.
