2B sportsbikes proper for learning corners?
-
Hanging off?
Lean angle?
Entry?
Apex?
Exit?
Anything about cornering on 2B sportsbikes are welcomed!!!
Do you hang off or 'Kup' a corner?
which one do you feel more confident and stable? -
i suppose with the correct settings, good broken-in tires and proper working brakes, any 2B sportsbikes can be used to learn cornering. just take it slowly at your own pace, don't try to achieve too much in too little time. dangerous. be careful..Originally posted by ammo:Hanging off?

oh yes, don't try on blind corners. choose a road you know well, and do check out the road conditions first.

If you want to learn more about corners, go to defensive riding. They will teach you a lot on corners. What surprise you the most is, You can do hard cornering with IRC tires.

You should brake BEFORE the turn in point. I f you get too hot into a turn, don't brake, or you'll open up the trajectory and end up going wide. Force your eyes on the apex, and lean the bike (don't forget to get out of the bike, or you'll scrape all kinds of bits until you fall).
Of course, GP riders and other professional racing pilots will stay on the brakes for longer, so let's say you throw that argument at me. Well, they hang on to them further, but they are easying the pressure on the lever, not doing the braking there.
Let's see if I can explain that easily by steps (procedure for track riding/racing):
1) Full gas down a straight
2) Approaching corner, start braking gradually, but firmly (like it's usually said for triggers of guns, don't pull the lever, squeeze it!).
3) As you brake, downshift, blipping the throttle. Should the rear wheel start jumping from a harsh downshift, press HALF of the clutch, and it will go steady again.
4) As you approach the turn in point, gradually release the lever, adjusting the speed of release to how fast you want to go into the turn.
5) Go into the corner in the gear that will allow you to EXIT it around 8,000-9,000, where max torque is for our bikes. That's why we have free practices, to sort out the gearing and stuff
6) You can tell that you were going fast if you feel you came in too hot, but at the apex you could accelerate again. If you accelerate easily before the apex, you can still go in faster. If you barely made it past the apex and opened the trajectory, then get in slower, cos you're loosing out on the exit of the turn. -
if i'm not wrong about braking into a corner, the actually correct step is to release your brakes gradually and at the point of the corner where releasing your brakes doesn't cause your forks to suddenly surge upwards
er.... my angmo not so good lah.
simply put, go corner, zham brake, feel forks dun bounce up, release brake, zua throttle.

i tot is , when on straight zua the throttle all de way , den almost to de point of turning into de coner , kick down one gear [engine braking] , den kup down while open throttle abit den when coming out open ur throttle fully

BBDC...Originally posted by roger:which place conducts such courses? -
Not sure about other 2B bikes but NSR SP do not have efficient brakes... best practical solution is to change carbon brake pads >>> $30 onwards
Remember to bleed air in your brake system once you get the spongy feel at the lever.
Very important when you are hard braking into a corner, wouldn't want your brakes to weaken at that point do you? -
