  1. But for long bends, once the roll on has commenced and we are at the desired speed and lean angle for that corner, the throttle must be maintained at the same RPM until you are at the point where you can build speed without compromising your line.

     

    Well said, and don't forget RPM's will drop as lean angle increases.....

  2. What's the big deal about leaning the bike over anyway?  It's all about turning the bike, who cares if it's leaned over far if it's going where you want it to?  Though if you really just want to make your footpeg touch the ground try not hanging off the bike at all, just steer it with the bars and don't use your bodyweight at all and the first time you come into  a sharp corner with a little speed you'll findout real fast how far you are capable of making the bike lean!

     

    Do not listen to this advice.....please :blink:

     

    If you really want to learn to lean more, I suggest you take a turn on the track and slowly bring you speed up through it....start at something overly comfortable that you will have no problem with. Then work it up in increments. When you get to a barrier, stop yourself and think what you could possibly be doing. Tightening up? Target Fixating? Chopping the throttle? Have a friend watch you or preferably a rider coach who knows what he/she is talking about.
