brake adjustment for burnouts and endos

what is the best number to put your front brakes on while doing endos and rolling burnouts? and also is it possible to warp your rotors while doing endos?

The numbers are just for reference and do nothing except more the lever closer in or farther out. Just for confort.

Re: brake adjustment for burnouts and endos

you'll glaze the pads and even the rotor before it'll warp. they can get very hot, so i'd definately give them time to rest if you've been doing some crazy stoppies for like an hour solid. that just saves pads though.

on my 929, i keep my brake on 3, so it's got some leverage in there so i have play when doing burnouts....if it's set real tight then i can't get a good feel for it, and i end up using too much brake.

Re: brake adjustment for burnouts and endos

yeah ok then so it is just prefference. didnt know if there was a better number. . .the reason i ask is cause after doing some endos there was a weird noise coming from my breaks. . . kindof hard to describe but it would be like wub wub wub and get faster and faster and desapear as i gained speed.

Re: brake adjustment for burnouts and endos

thats your brake pad touching the rotor. your calipurs are prolly sticking a little.
