Re: how often?

You can get hundreds of launches out of a stock set of clutches on a mild street bike.

As for tires, it really depends upon the number of burnouts and the length of time the burnout lasts.

On a Michelin Pilot Power I have seen more than 50 runs without the tire losing traction. It could possible be more than 70, but who's counting while we're having fun?
