Weighting Inside Or Outside Footpeg

  1. Sarcasm?
     
  2. Can't be important. Stapleford is the fastest ever on a 600 are und cadwell and running away with the title and his hangs off
     
  3. steering the opposite way to what you go! next time your turning, gently weight your inside handle bar (GENTLY!!!) as you turn, note where your top yolk is pointing, but dont shit yourself and fall off, just finish your turn, and breathe.....
     
  4. Nothing gentle about it matey. Smack the bar like a bloke who's feeled up yer missus. Go further into a corner and faster

  5. I dont think thats good advice for someone who is asking what counter steer is!
    Im playing teacher here, and I dont want to be responsible for him SMACKING the bar!!!!!:Bag:
     
  6. Counter steering is what you do every time you turn the bike above 15mph or so. You just dont figure your doing it until someone points it out. Fast turns require a bit of muscle as suggested by bradders
     
  7. bearing in mind once the turn is initiated , the wheel actually straightens, then follows the corner. Push the bars too hard, and your going home!
     
  8. Disagree. Smack the bars hard means you can turn with so much more entry speed. Soft and slow means soft and slow entry and turning earlier. Unless grip is an issue (very wet or cold) you'd need to be the hulk to lose the front.

    Its the CSS way so cant be wrong ;)

  9. sounds like a recipe for breaking traction to me! i will stick to being smooth thanks.
    Looks an interesting read though, thanks for link :upyeah:
     
  10. Joking aside, it takes some 'just do it!' Attitude to domit a few times then it becomes more second nature, and works great on the road

    Worth a read and doesnt take too long
     
  11. i have tried this a few times and it seems ok, but only on long open / predictable curves, i know that it is the given way for an emergency swerve but still experimenting, dont want to be :Hurting: !
     
  12. The best part is peolpe follow you on the road, think 'fuck he's not braking and wont make that corner!' You bang the bar and ping...gone round. Or...they are waiting for you to brake before they do...oops!! Lol

  15. As Bradders says it's the opposite, plus it's still smooth riding. The quicker you counter steer into the corner the quicker your bike turns around and you get a nice straight and safe run out of the corner. It also means you can start turning deeper in the corner to get a better line along with better vision through the corner on the road. If you turn slowly then you spend much more time in the corner with you point of view cut off and stand much more risk or going wide or taking a dodgy line. As long as it's not wet then you can counter steer as fast as you can physically push the bar, plus it's fun :)

  16. im all for trying new things , just correcting P back to F, fine adjusting the comp and rebound, then im off!! will it make both my wheels take off like yours royal? :)
     
  17. Depends on how wet it is...lol
     
  18. I wish I knew the answer, trying to learn all that stuff myself just now!!
     
  19. Think i'm a very soft slow turner , by the advice i have been given on here and at the ron haslam race school i need to be alot more physical with the turn in process as what Bradders and royalwithcream says , so i shall be alot more positive from now on ;)
