Leaning and throttle.....

[ChiTown_Rydah]

So when taking a turn and you lean but not quite makin the turn like you want, do you give it more gas to lean more? I want to get my lean on

[kevin_stevens]

No, you lean more.

learn to take the turn right and get a feel for picking good lines. ounce your comfortable turning and begin increasing speed the lean will increase also.

i think there are stickies in the racers corner baout form and shit if your trying to get your knee down.

but dont push yourself if your not comfortable or your gonna lowside or take a turn to hot and end up wide and off the road.

[ChiTown_Rydah]

you can lowside from turning like that? I thought that was only from gravel in the road.

IF you "TRY" to drag a knee. more than likely you will wreak. i have seen it.

Its not all about dragging a knee. and If your trying this on a street.

tack is much safer and a better place to get a knee down. cause when you touch it for the 1st time. you might (more than likely, i see it all the time) pick the bike up. lol its kinda funny to watch when your riding behind someone really..

if you just talking about taking turns. it depends on a lot of stuff. your speed where you enter the turn. how big the turn is. but in general ther faster you take a turn the more you bike needs to lean. go to a track day and watch the guys entering, and exiting a turn. listen to their throttle when entering, when in the turn and when leaving it.

sorry if i am rambbling on somehting i am way off on . its been a LONG day, and my hands/arms/legs are killing me

Keep your throttle at least steady, preferably roll on a bit more but mainly you press harder on the inside grip.

If you give it more gas, you will run it wider. Just push the inside clipon to get it tighter before you start messing with throttle mid-turn. If you are already in too tight, lessen the pressure on the inside clipon. For now, keep the throttle as steady as possible until you learn what this is all about. Abrupt throttle/braking can fuck your day up real bad. Actually, so can steering inputs. Try to be smooth and don't go over your head. It is not worth it.

Ok so let me translate what you are asking.
Shah I've entered a corner a bit wide and I wish to tighten my line how shall I do this.

Well ChiTown my good man if you enter this situation and you are going a bit too fast my recommendation I recommend slowly releasing the gas and counter and maybe adding a tad bit more counter seer to lean the bike further over.
If the situation warrants release the gas and bring the bike up by pulling into the corner and applying brakes.
If you have entered the corner and are going at a reasonably speed, day only 10-20mph over the posted speed limit but the turn is now decreasing in radius I suggest again releasing the throttle a little, though not much just enough for a bit of weight transfer to occur and add a bit of counter steer to increase your lean angle thus tightening up the turn.
Further more I highly encourage you to learn to look into corners, odds are the reason you went to far wide was perhaps due to flashing soccer moms some sort of gesture and or just blowing the hunnies a kiss. I suggest you perhaps learn to turn in using your noggin not your schlong.
The best way to practice is to go to a parking lot and to slowly drive around and to turn your head left to right and use that as your method of turning.

WOT will work everytime....

wouldnt pushing the inside clip on around a turn make you lean less or go oppisite way of the turn?
