Mase,

Both feet on the ground, pull in clutch, put bike in
2nd gear, hold the front brake tight and slowly let
out the clutch to just before engagement begins, now
rev the scoot to the middle of the powerband, about
80% of red-line, release the clutch quickly but
smoothly, your rear wheel should start spinning.

If you want to do it like a pro, put the rear tire in
a puddle of bleach, creates more smoke and is
inherently easier on the scoot and the rider.

Under no circumstances do you want to rev the motor
and pop the clutch, you will fuck up your scoot and
yourself.

I personally don't advise burnouts as it is extremely
hard on the scoot and at times the rider if not done
correctly.

ride safe,
