Hey crash i have a question for you, ive been riding dirt all my life, but recently made the switch to street. Im on an older cbr 600, nothing flashy. I love the corners, im adicted to them and the g's. One thing i found is if i lean half of my body off the side of the bike to the point where ony half of my bum is on the seat and my knee is down, i FEEEL as if im alot more stable and can take the corners at those speeds, is this over kill?

Well, to be honest, if you're carrying that kind of speed on the street? You probably need to get to the track. No oncoming traffic, diesel spills, sand, anti-freeze, sail frogs or other traction thieving crap.

[CaptCrashIdaho]

Supermoto. Suzuki DrZ400SM

whats a "chicken strip"

[CaptCrashIdaho]

Small (or large) strip of unused tire at edge of the tire's face. Some bikes will lean far enough over that teh entire face of the tire touches the pavement, some won't! It's a measure of how far you're leaning your bike--not a measure of ability.

Tnx it sure was helpful but I still a little scared

I used this vid to learn. I found it easier to trust leaning on slow turns at first, cuz there are reduced consequences for errors. KZ1000P full dress

is it safe to lean till my shoe gets touched ??cus it happns to me alot

[PadonakHAX]

I don't trust my tires. Cuz they're not sport, just a freaking touring stock goddamned tires, which skid when you lean your bike too low. And that's why, I'm sitting here with my toe broken, and my bike standing outside f''cked up.

So my advice for novices. If you want to learn how to lean a bike really low - buy appropriate tires! .. and of course watch and read how to perform it right

[kaichen1988]

Really important to practice that. Just in case you take a curve too fast or come upon an obstacle you need to be compfortable to lean your bike as hard as possible. There's no better lifesaver than skill!!

[yyGODyy]

"bikes gotta lean" Isn't completely true. You need to push your handle bar to turn, leaning is push steering's consequence.

With counter balancing, cant you not get as tight of turns, like those who do moto gp/dragging knee? Jwing is all
