Throttle Control

RE: Throttle Control
I just had a conversation like this with some of the guys I ride with. I just went on my first group ride since buying the CBR and had been used to riding through the twisties in second gear on my Katana 600. However after about 1/2 of the way through the group ride on the 07 RR, it was extremely jerky in second, simply too much power through tight twisties, had to go to 3rd through the twisties and it was much better. If your going to power through the twisties in second I think its better to go into the turn giving throttle and you have to continue to give throttle all the way through to be smooth or your going to jerk either in the turn or right after when you gun it out of the turn. just my 2 cents.

RE: Throttle Control
use a little maintenance throttle during the corner, usually a very small amount of throttle will be enough to counteract whats left of the engine braking while tipping into a corner and makes it much less jerky when you begin applying throttle for the exit
now if your in too high of a gear and have no engine resistance (not really engine braking at that point, just a little resistance) then giving it that little bit of throttle may actually cause the bike to accelerate which isn't great if you've already set your cornerspeed
