Hi there,
I have been having a problem with cornering and I though I would try you guys to see if I get some sensible suggestions as to how to handle it.
first some paremeters
Bike: kwaka zx14 2008se
tyres: michelan PR2's
Tyre pressure 40psi
The problem only seems to happen when I am pushing my zx14 through a set of twisties fairly hard (double indicated +10km/hr). I sometimes feel the front end starting to slide just a little bit, it makes a kind of crackling sound and it kind of feels like a car does when it understeers....
Im wondering what Im doing wrong. In my mind tyres are designed by people who are a lot clever'er than me to work together as a pair so Im thinking that the rear should be letting go first. Is this the case ??
Im hoping the minister for war and finance will be getting me a CSS level 1 course for my birthday (she asked me this morning if it was covered by my insurance co as 'rider training', which it is) so its definately on the cards. is this a prob they will be able to fix @ level 1 ??
any thoughts on tyre choice, pressure, what I should be doing with my body position, throttle etc ?
any input would be appreciated
thanks in advance
