Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 8, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2014 I find that I am more comfortable turning right. The left turns are getting easier the more I ride though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you right or left hand, I'm right hand. Don't know if it has anything to do with it, Just thinking out loud. You do or don't Then your dead.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted October 8, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2014 I am right handed, so I guess that theory does not work. I was born in the Southern Hemisphere, so perhaps that is why I turn clockwise better . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Look where you want to be, lean and you will be there. It's a matter of your eyes creating good lines, and you trusting that your bike can do it. And beleive me, your bike can turn on a freakin dime, and you can lean pretty darned far! Then, leaning becomes fun! Find a large empty parking lot. Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotaryryan24 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The funny thing is I didn't have this issue on my WR250X, just to clarify I'm talking about high speed corners. Like 75-80 mph on 25-30 mph corners. You do or don't Then your dead. To order a tail tidy click One-off-fabrication.myshopify.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member crazycracka501 Posted October 9, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 9, 2014 Too embarrassed to show how much strip I have left. about 1/2" on the left side and 1/8" on the right. Still learning to trust that the bike can do it and that I can recover from the tight turn. I am left handed and have a little more reservation with the left side. It doesn't help that I bent the handlebars when I dropped the bike at a stand still, so steering is a little off. Thought I was doing well till I saw your lack of strips. Gonna hit up a parking lot as suggested. Make it stop!....Now make it go faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could say, "For a given speed, the quicker you turn your bike, the less lean angle you use." An important point is how quick, not always how far. Everything went braap.

Premium Member phyciocc Posted October 21, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted October 21, 2014 My chicken strips are juicy and plump. And they will remain that way, I am afraid.

stefano225 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I am with you Marco extra careful in sharp turns especially this time of the year wet leaves and loose gravel,always looking ahead.Now if I was at some track that would be different,but not on main roads when you got cagers on your ass you take a spill they be on top of you before you know.In my younger days grooving up in Italy I took many spills on wet roads,doing wheelies,sliding on sharp turns and most of the time was two up riding.I was lucky many times even the week before I moved to USA I got into an accident,some guy made a u turn didn't see me coming up never had chance to brake hit the car at about 60 mph flew in the air landed on the side walk ,when I got up all I wanted to do was beat the leaving crap out of this guy he was so scared didn't want to get out of his car,my front fork was bent I got off with few scratches on my knee and elbow no broken bones I was very lucky that day .Here are some chicken strips for you guys enjoy .

Global Moderator Guru Posted October 21, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2014 Those se are not chicken strips, that is a full KFC family meal ! Just kidding They should actually be called wisdom strips. Because you are wise not to try and get rid of those strips in this weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefano225 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Wise indeed 8-) I don't think my tires are good in cold weather(mine came with Michelin Pilot III I believe)you can feel that traction it not that good.In regards of the KFC family chicken meal ,when the weather warms back up I might go find a nice looking parking lot and lean as much as possible or I could just use a cheese grater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
