  1. Hi Cobie Joints, my sis bought glucosamine and tumeric for my mum. Would like an expert opinion too thou~
  2. if your optimum ERT (engine running temp) is 80-100 C , yes it will help to keep temps at that range.
  3. Absolutely interested too! I do jogging on good weather mornings (like today) for 1-2 rounds (400M standard stadium track) I wonder if it helps or is there an even more optimum excecise plan to specifically target muscles used in riding
  4. Countersteering works on my bicycle , 125CC moped and 700CC adventure bike I'd guess its is more or less the same (for me at least)~
  5. Very very informative read imho. I'm having hydration and electrode issues myself recently too, will give the website a look! @T-McKeen , I personally used the trial and error method , having like 5 varieties of electrode sports drinks and trying out every bottle after sweating out works for me so far. Only one works really well for me thou, taste and performance/recovery wise~ @DrStephenPrice Is it a good idea to "LOAD" your drink (Super Hydration Formula) right before excercise/sweating ? (eg 1/4 normal after workout dosage with 350ML of water) very interested in your product too!!
  6. @ Timmer Good read !! but i have read somewhere else that higher octane fuel (to a certain extend) also results in less " backpressure " on the intake phase of the combustion phase in ICE engines said reason is because the HO(hi octane) fuel does not vaporise as much on the intake valves . Cant find a paper or scientific study thou. Its true to a certain extend from my butt dyno (I tried RON 92<3-7%>95 and <+1-2%> 98, it all makes a differnce) Theres quite a noticeable torque improvement from ROn 92 to 95 but not much from 95-98 too on my stock engine (4V hi reving single cylinder engine, idles at 1350, rev limiter kicks in at 9250 rpm) Not much if its slower revving(as in bone stock) as methinks theres much less heat on the intake valves at low revs; heat gets carried away much more efficiently too (less heat builtup/energy density) I personally use a PEA (poly-ether amine)based cleaner on my gas pump fuels to keep the intake valves clean (carbon residues therotically increase aformentioned backpressure = lower efficiency)
  7. From the TOTW2 video "The throttle is your friend" - Keith Code
  8. Very looking forward to this section! You da man Cobie!!
  9. you tried grabbing the tank with your legs and upper body being loose while braking straight up? A sharp rear profile tire might make the bike fidgitty too when braking while loading up the front to its limit (which i heard that the R10's are) I lower the rear tire pressure when it is abit colder but im not sure if its a good idea on your setup.
  10. Yeah - sorry. you are wrong. Lets take an example: for a 200 foot radius turn leaning at 27 degrees a 2 wheeled vehicle will be doing exactly 39mph It doesn't matter if you are on a Harley, or a Honda CBR 600RR It doesn't matter if the motorcycle weighs 600lbs or 400lbs. It doesn't matter if you have racing slicks, or normal street tires. For a given lean angle, at a specific speed, all 2 wheeled vehicles would generate the EXACT same radius turn. I know it sounds strange, but it's 100% accurate. Check with your local physics professor. Same goes with airplanes if it helps you envision it better. A Cessna 172 at 140mph banking at 45 degrees would provide the exact same radius turn arc as a 747 banking at 45 degrees at 140mph Thanks, I'll check it up over coffee with my physics majoring buddy
  11. Im sure different wheelbase will result in different speeds ; i might be wrong thou
  12. well you just answered your own question partially I persionally would work on applying the brakes in a much more linear fashion to avoid upsetting the bike at the point of turning.
  13. If on public roads, i'll lean on setting them earlier. But turn points and settingf the correct speed is of a much higher priority than braking points for me.
  14. All i gotta say is everything you need is in the books and DVD's. I read/ viewed my DVD/books 20+ times. Without deving too much into copyrighted material, my point is: Its not like you can digest everything with a single view and the way you replied strongly suggests that you are extremely unfamiliar with the contents .
  15. Cryo, Have you studied Keith Code books and DVD? Your questions suggest that you have not. It is natural that you are concerned about the interface rubber-pavement; however, there is much more about properly riding a motorcycle, either street or track, which requires careful study and abundant practice. Read this article: http://forums.superb...p?showtopic=877 Im under the impression that he did not study the books/dvd at all too.
  16. Im with Eirik ; low grip situations
  17. I slide my back tire all the time , whether i like it or not so i guess its some sort of training ?? That brings up the "traction limit" talk From Mr Keith code
  18. Nice to meet you and Nice bikes! Im in Taiwan too (Taipei suburbs) , i sually have a midnight run near xiaoyoukeng (小油坑) to practice my turn in speed and points ^^
  19. You can google the R10 EVO tires, they have profiles that specifically tailor to large lean angles. Or ask the resident Dunlop Specialist on your needs
  20. if you are already at traction limits , you might just be out of luck. Not everyone can corner like stoner sliding the rear or have a motogp spec grade machine. IMHO turn in speed and turn points , prevention is better than cure.
  21. 0.1G acceleration + 40/60 weight distro~ Depends on the bike really. Some bikes still accelerate when on maintanance throttle mode, some dont and some have engine braking. You'll have to find out how the bike behaves and make it accelerate at 0.1G.
  22. Very interesting topic indeed I did well in physics in college so i can understand for the most part ~
