Hmmmm how easy is it to do that on a GPX250? I have a friend with a near bald Dunlop Arrowmax.

Hint: if you really want to wreck havock on a borked rear tyre with a low HP bike like a GPX, pour water mixed with a bit of detergent on the rear tyre.
Just make sure you dont stand on it or get it near/on the front tyre as its slippery shit.
Oh and it makes INSANE quantities of smoke too.

why you use detergent?
the Gpx will spin the back up no probs......
but
you do need to select about 5000
......before releasing the clutch
and then it makes INSANE amounts of smoke

NOTE********
release the clutch slowly...SLOWLY...releasing the clutch quickly will cause the bike to either stall, or flip/wheelie....
SLOWLY people...

I never did.... until my tire de-laminated during a burnout and cost me a rear hugger....
