actually I do 1st gear burnouts, but your friends are correct, 3rd gear burnouts are truly the best way to burnout, much easier on the tranny!!
and it does not take near as long to heat up that tire.

I do second gear burnouts - it gets the tire rotating faster without the need to rev it so high. Don't forget to get back into first though

2nd or 3rd gear burnouts are fine, lotz o' smoke, but make dang sure you are on some water if you do it. I do 1st gear smokies and don't bother backing into the water.

1st gear is easier on the clutch...I don't believe it's bad for the tranny either...
One thing you need to know about ZRXDean's set-up...He is geared to go through the traps (finish line) in 6th gear at 160+MPH
We are geared to go through in 5th gear at 150+mph and...we still do 1st gear burnouts...
Nuther thing...the tire will grow taller if you do burnouts in a higher gear so...you should rock the bike...side-to-side a bit...to heat the entire width of the tire...
