starting to do holeshots
 

So I finally started to do holeshots.
I start from a stoped position(for now)
I begin by applyin front brake slip the clutch as I open throttle.

Here is my problem. my front brake as i increase speed tends to lockup.
When you start to move do you release front brake completly or keep on it?
I also noticed that the tire doesn't reallly smoke alot?

Need some help, thanks in advance.

im sorry, i dont know how to do it exactly, but why do they call them holeshots? Holeshot is a term used for making it to the first corner or predetermined spot on a track after the start, so how would doing a burnout coincide with a holeshot?

i always start to do them rolling... you have to play with the break, to keep them rolling, you should let off the front break... keep the motorycycle moving, cuz i know i cant do a standing burnout with my lets off the ground... put your weight on the tank too... dont sit on the seat, or you will end up ripping the can off your rr

RE: starting to do holeshots
 

don't really knowhow to answer your question. I just know it because that'swhat people call it.
However you are right on what you said. I always thought a burnout is sitting still or starting from a stop position
and a holeshot is when your rolling due to dumping the clutch and break the tire loose.

By the way
CRAZY that's one bad thing i was doin was I kept my ass on the seat cause I had a couple close calls.
I need to start to push my weight to the front so that the back end becomes loose.

How do you do them exactly or anybody else?

RE: starting to do holeshots
 

im not professional, but i started to practise them when the roads were a little damp, rear tire spins easier but front wheel locks up easier

RE: starting to do holeshots
 

the front brake scrares the crap out me when it locks

RE: starting to do holeshots
 

[hr]if you wanna roll and its locking....ur obviously giving too much brake...

another thing to keep in mind

if the front end starts getting loose, ur not givin enough gas....if the rear starts getting loose, ur givin too much gas.

you dont see how he starts off, but i do them starting at a slow roll... put my weight on the tank, and feather the front break until the tire spins

RE: starting to do holeshots
 

i remember doing that on my ex500 once except that i had my left foot on the passenger peg but my weight still on the front. as i started spinning my weight got shifted back to the passenger peg.

....resulted in a highside. it hurt.

Hey fellas
really appreciating all the help.
sorry to keep bein a hag with so many questions

from the video it seems that when the tire brakes loose he doesn't apply theclutch
anymore.

I have a 1k will my bike pick upwhen the tire starts to get sticky?
I only weigh 150. i'm like a featheron that bike.
