You move quite late in the turn process, I find that unsettles the multi a lot. How does yours manage body movement mid turn? Try moving earlier and it will make the turn easier and bike more stable and easier to get your upper body over
Used Multi for sale ......raced and rallied and kicked arse in Portimao ....sports bikes left in my dust .... Very shiney seat ! ..... Thanks for posting ...I want to do a European track now ...
The main problem i have moving earlier is that i dont feel confortable braking/changing gears while hanging. If you check, ive 3 turns the same way after the main straight, ive to reduce to second gear for the last one and brake, and for that i put my body on the "normal" position, which is "wrong" but its quite hard for me to make it other way. I would have to be able to ride slow for some seassions to just pratice that i guess.
Regarding the multi mid turn, i feel quite confident with it, unless i scrap the pegs. Ive a stiffer setup suspension on the electronic ohlins that helps also, and a steering damper.
Have you ever done a professional race school-day? Sure, you lean off using a sports bike but a big tour will snap back at you if you upset its grip doing that. Everyone to their own i suppose although i'd recommend just going with the lean sat upright. My tested theory is that if you lose grip, sat upright you don't bounce into the bikes suspension or side of it. Whereas the hanging off method adds much more instability into the bikes frame when it momentarily goes wrong. But you sure were having fun so please don't be offended.
Z bomb...hanging off on track is always better than not. Hamging off adds stablility, its changing body position mid turn that upsets the chassis Have done a couple of trackdays in the fast group (some may have seen it at the DUK days) and no damper needed as the bike is so heavy anyway Re setting up for the corner, I get that unless you have arms and legs like a gibbon (well, wamrs anyway) its tough to hang too far although you are already. If yiu can settle earlier it makes for a quicker turn in and faster entry and means tye biks is only settling brakes rather than brakes and lots of weight transfer Btw this is a proper coaches view, given while I was under instruction (not a trackday freebie), not just mine
Pretty wet day...Donington..mate following me, he's on wets on his race 996, PR4s on mine and hanging off so far my outside foot was off the peg!
Yes to the school, and you really need to hang out of the bike, specially on a bike like the Multi you will need to hang even more, otherwise you will be very limited by your footpegs / gear lever and wont be able to corner fast. The school instructors all mentioned that you can go very fast with the multi but you need to have very good body position and hanging out alot.
Yes my instructor said the same, he prepares the body positioning for the corner BEFORE the braking/changing gears, hewont totally hang 100% but would do like 70% and then just adjust slightly before the corner. But thats not easy to do
I think he could do with some lessons on body positions the same as the rest of us. Here for example, both his body and the bike are way out of shape. He'll be lucky to make that apex.
