BURNOUT !!!!

[Drifter.]

Who has done the longest one? :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

The guy with the most money to waste on tires...

 

[BajaRon]

Some would say the biggest fool!

 

[BikerDoc]

I would guess Kenny Butler in Florida.. He never starts up without a burnout and loves that sound so much that his tire bill doesn't seem to bother him. I am an aggressive rider and my tires still last twice as long as his.

The guy with the most gas in his tank ....:roflblack:

I'm going to take credit...........when I left the dealer for a test ride (manual not auto!) they told me to run it hard and enjoy! That's exactly what I did and the black line on the road was left as evidence. This is why I would never buy a demo vehicle. Following the specific break-in protocol results in engines that last longer and dyno higher. Also, it's commonly claimed that 75-90% of engine wear occurs during the warm-up each time you start a cold engine. I never run one of my vehicles hard till the oil (not water) temp is up to at least 150 degrees. Every rider who took the demo out that day said they rode it very hard ad suggested.......it started that day with 2 miles on it.

I like drag racing. Usually race my GS, but last year at Spyderfest, dragged my F3.

The first time doing 'test and tune,' raced the F3 like my GS. Fish tailed through three gears getting down the track.

Gunna race the GS from now on...

I just stand by and watch. :yes::yes:

 

[Bob Denman]

It's about getting the power to the ground, and hooking it up; not wasting it in boiled tires! :thumbup:

+1. Had 120 lbs on the back seat and it still didn't hook up till lower rpms. :gaah:

Going back to the tested and true GS for drags.

 

[Big Arm]

Just wish we could of used the drag strip, last yr., like they did the previous two yrs., at Spyderfest
I never heard the reason why, but assume maybe liability :dontknow:........anybody know ???

Well I would have to say that the "most smoke" goes to Lamont for when he melted the mat during the F3 intro. Longest patch, don't know but I will agree with BikerDoc that Kenny Butler has to rank way high on the list and there are multiple videos to attest to the fact. He hates the Kendra tire as wastes no time in getting them to the replacement stage which I have witnessed on his RT and then again on the F3. I bet his new F3 will be the same unless he can figure out how to take delivery with something other than the stock rubber.

the key to getting down the track is to read the grip of the tire on the road surface. The F3 to gather maximum acceleration is not to pin the throttle. Roll on the throttle until you sense wheel slip and keep it going. I did that at SpyderFest last year. The 2 times I did not win were due to my sleeping at the line.

Also on the F3 is the seat sensor for the passenger. Adding weight, while a good thing as the F3 is back-end light, triggers the nanny to alter the ECU. If you add weight one must defeat the switch.

I try not to do too much of the burnout thing on my spyder, but the beast does get the best of me some times. I have found that the Kumo that I installed spins a little easier then the stock Kenda did. I think the softer rubber on the Kenda allows for more traction, but it also allows for a lot quicker wear.

Don't know for sure either. To race, you have to sign the standard liability waiver.

Maybe because BRP didn't sponsor Spyderfest last year and MOgang did the best they could with what they had? :dontknow:

:firstplace: Very good info for anybody wanting to race a F3.

Learned how to work with the F3 after that first attempt. Did pretty good at the drags...
