Problem with right turns on twisties
Ok so I noticed this problem recently. I have been riding for half a year. I am very comfortable takitwiddle turns during twisties. I can get real low, I look into the turn well, my counterstearing is great... But for some reason I can't do that on right turns. I have crashed twice on a right turn, and crossed the yellow line several times. I feel very uncomfortable in them and just can't get low.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could get over this?

I'd like to know myself. I feel more comfortable taking right turns than left myself. I countersteer better going right. I think my positioning is better when dealing with right handers too. I realize that almost everyone is dominant on one side. Haven't really found any trick to it myself except taking more lefts
Just a thought: you think you might be subconsciously "protecting" your exhaust? Thinking to yourself you're going to drag the exhaust if you lean too far?

usually i can take right corners better than left corners on the street cause the crown of the road makes the road slope down so its in comparison to goin around banked corner which you can do much harder and faster and goin left your turning on a down ward slope so the bike will drop low quickly into the turn more so than going right, thats just me i guess im more dominant goin right. not sure about your problem tho especially with crashing twice im guessin its more of a mental thing cause if the road crowns in the middle you should be able to rip right corners hard just have to put a little more work into the handlebars and countersteering than goin left.

The side that your more comfortable leaning on is that your dominant side? left handed left truns, right handed right trun's. this is for everyone to answer. I'm a lefty. And my left truns are alot better then my rights.(Chicken strips don't lie) and whenever someone starts Nasbike,let me know.

I'm right handed but my dominant lean is left. Can this be that in the STATES, our lane direct if different from Europe? We always uses a left for a U-turn??
