street riding sketchy turns
Im new to the street bike world of riding. I have been riding dirt bikes since i was a kid, but the problem im having is when i lean into a turn i feel sketchy like im about to loose it under me but i swing wide on even the widest turns at times. How far is a good lean into a turn and how do you known when your going to loose it and is their a way to position myself on the bike better for turning? Any help would be great help thankyou

also check out this thread post #10 has some good vid links for cornering even tho its more track related it transfers over to the street but read thru and search for others you like that can help im positive we all could post how to do everything properly but it would prob a book by the time we all got done so check these out first since they were already done lol!

Kuroshio started this one, might help you with decisions in braking or leaning

if you rode dirtbikes on motocross tracks then thats your problem most likely. On motocross tracks when you make a turn you lean AWAY from the center of the turn. On a streetbike you lean TOWARDS the center of the turn. I wasn't yelling with the caps I just wanted to make sure no one missed it.

Good answer canhead -very good - totally agree with you - street ----the rider is closest to the ground, dirt ---- the bike is.
