  • Another great video: love your videos. I've learned that one need not use the clutch, but rather throttle and rear break only. On crotch rockets, it's harder to steer than on the big cruisers; since at high speeds you tend to steer by leaning and not turning the handle bars. Still, you are correct, turning the head really helps. Keep em coming!

  • It's really a 'what works for you' thing. My SM is geared a little tall due to freeway/canyon exhuberant riding so I really need the clutch at low speed so it won't bog! It was really important to me that folks got the message of using the techniques that work for them!

  • SUBBED watch 5 videos and they are all good, guy doesnt sound like a prick and the tutorials are good

  • The 1 guy who disliked this crashed his bike into a lamp pole.

  • I like this guy.

  • i hear you brother. sometimes i counter weight at 60mph sometimes at 5mph... just depends how i feel about my corner entry commitment level.

  • Love your vids mate and your right it is what works best for you, I never counterbalance because I just never felt I needed to but it does have its uses, ride safe

  • I'm watching all your videos one by one and they're awesome! Entertaining and informative. Thanks again!

  • Yes you are yes you are

  • Thanks for another great video.

  • i actually conterbalance a lot! not only for u turns.

    it makes you fell more confortable and on a better position to turn faster. only on wet/sand pavement it can go wrong sometimes :P be carefull on the throttle!
