Hello, I'm Manos from Rodos island in Greece. I'm 35 years old and I am a level 4 CSS graduate. I track ride a 2009 Honda CBR1000RR(race fairing, exhaust, Tractin control, suspension, etc) and do some MX with a 2005 Honda CRF250 and ride everyday on a 2006 Honda VFR800. Just started club racing so this forum is really great giving a lot of info and inspiration!

Thanks for the replies from everyone and the welcome from you mugget. Ok, so what I'm doing so far is the right thing (letting it settle) and I now understand that if I was doing it differently I would be in a lot of trouble! What if the back tire is just sliding (like backing in)? Could I still pivot-steer?

I was wondering if its safe to countersteer-pivot steer while braking so hard that the back tire is a bit off the ground. I never use the rear brake while riding on track but sometimes while braking hard I get the back tire "light" and try to get it stabilized before I countersteer. Is this delay in countersteering unnecessary or not?
