Tips for cornering on a motorcycle how to avoid going wide. How to not crash while cornering on a motorcycle #motorcycletips #cornering #motorcycle #bikelife #spunkyboyy #howto #gsxr #suzuki #sportbike #biketips
fellas , like spunk said. LANE position when cornering is very important!, if you have the right lane position when banging a corner. even if your terrified of over leaning, correct lane position can get you through it and save you a bad day! hope this helps and ride safe yall. keep the rubber down
in Australia we ride on the opposite side to the USA. So we would be going in the same direction as the arrow but on the left side of the road, not the right side... so in the turn then would my bike be positioned closer to the middle of the lane closer to the lines? I came off on a right hand turn and I still have no idea why, I was doing all the right things but I still slid 😕
Great points. Don't forget to mention practicing this. You gotta develop this as a habit not just something to remember. I'm well aware of this and ate it hard just because I forgot until it was too late. Thanks for the tips bro!!
@johnnymember1984 I get on the bike and worry so much about not making the turn that I don't make it I've slow speed dropped it so much and it hurt like heck I couldn't imagine doing that at speed, so I over think it which sucks.
The only issue with outside inside outside is in left handers, especially tight corners where cars/other riders are over the double yellow. More often than not just cruising I go middle-middle-middle, more spirited riding I go out in out but left handers I still try to stay middle
THE BRAKES!! N1 the most important thing- learn how to slow down properly, before the turn, especialy blind one, learn how to brake while leaning and in the middle of the turn(trailbraking), and of course emergency braking. Lane positioning is important but it's not gonna save you if you'll come too hot into the turn and get scared and target fixated. Brakes folks, number 1 always!
Listen to this. I was at the motorcycle training and what spunkyboyy saying is the same as the instructors saying at the motorcycle training. Unfortunately I failed because my clutch and throttle control sucks😅
make sure the roads youre on dont have much gravel or sand before you cut to yhe inside of your turns, its easy to lowslide when the roads aren't clean, always run through the twisties slowly at least once to see their condition
Thanks brother. I watched so many videos, however you’re the only one I found within two years to explain in detail to the point. I need your advice. I practiced on a 2009 Kawasaki Eliminator 125cc for three months. What bikes would you recommend?
It actually makes sense of what you explained... i havent rode a motorcycle in my life but i assumed this is how you turn cause you are on a 300-400 lb bike 🦧🤔😂😂😂🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾 Edit : cant wait to start riding tho 🤙🏾
Who is this guy ? And what experience does he have ? I see tires with chicken strips and other videos I see knee pucks that have never touched the ground
Keep it up bro, these tips aren’t my speed, however my step father taught me them when he got me into sport bikes 15 years ago and these were some of the things he taught me. Keep teaching my man, we don’t all have step dads! ✌🏼🤌🏼💪🏼
Do you have a video or would you be willing to make one on turning left/right from the complete stop on an intersection? I would appreciate that very much, because I for example have an issue turning right and have dropped a bike in the situation where I had to turn right. Thank you in advance.
I trail brake and lean right on over if I take a curve to wide or fast it helps rotate the bike and helps get it down lower so you can adjust your line! And smooth is fast gotta do everything super easy and super smooth at high speeds! I prefer to go into corners easy so I can exit early and get back on the gas cause I got a liter bike just like his ☝🏻but I also have a CBR300R and you gotta keep it wound up or your not going any where so I take curves far faster on it. Normally I pick which bike by where I’m going! If it’s highway liter bike if it’s town or curvy 300!
so you can maintain throttle, can you go off and come back on? can you rear brake in the corner? these are things i worry about and dont risk yet cornering but dont have anyone to ask
This is late after the video but I have to add: Sometimes you have to slow down instead of just positioning this way. On blind turns you never know what’s on the road or side of road. For example (something I’ve seen in a few videos of crashes): there could be pedestrians walking along the side of the road, and when you come in tight, you can very easily hit them.
My problem isn't going wide, it's not going wide enough, especially on left hand corners, I'm always looking down at the centerline of the road directly under my left foot, putting some of me in the opposite lane. I lack the confidence yet to start turning late enough in the turn.
Step 2 is all wrong my brother. After you finish the "leaning process" you open a little bit the throttle. The reason for that is that in a corner If you lose a tyre you will lose the front tyre. So by adding a little bit of throttle(the front end of the motorcycle wants to go up). You give extra help to the front tyre by taking off some pressure. If you watch motogp, you will see that nowadays after they stop leaning they almost wheelie the bike. In a lot of cases literally.
Check out Yamaha Champ school online, it'll teach you how to do this. For a free source, go to the RU-vid channel "Moto Control". It has the best riding information on RU-vid.
I recently bought a 2003 suzuki gsx750f and It needed a new wiring harness well i bought that i connected everything and still no crank so i checked the spark plugs an replaced them all still no crank battery isn't dead because i just bought it only dash light that comes on is the clock I'm not sure whats the issue with it if so can anyone help the ignition switch where the key enters was messed up so it looked as if someone used a flathead screw driver to start it so I'm gonna buy a new ignition switch if anyone knows anything about this issue can you please help a brother out thanks in advance
Thats a racing lane not a safe way to ride on the streef u should stay in the wheel track on the side that ur cornering, keeps u out the oil slick and keeps u away from oncoming traffic if they cut the conner
For street riding it’s better to stay middle middle middle through corners incase cars coming the other way go a lil wide if your having problems making corners you should work on counter steering and your speed
NOOO!!! Don't ride the streets like a racetrack. Stay in the middle or just outside the middle of the lane. You'll be able to look through the corners further, be visible better and sooner for oncoming traffic, and you won't run the risk of headbutting any curbside objects or oncoming traffic when turning left.
Bad advice on lane position! You want to create a buffer on blind corners! Just take it easy and stay right of center the whole corner! Plenty of drivers cut the line!
