At what speed does countersteering start to work?
I'm fresh out of bike school and I still do the thing where I slow down to 20kmh max going into turns, but I'd like to go fast, not hold up city traffic.
Or am I looking at this all wrong? Should I leave countersteering to country roads and just slow down in the city?
>>15280181

Anything faster than about 10kph is countersteering. If you are 'leaning' the bike in a turn instead of being upright and physically turning the bars, you're countersteering.
Don't overthink countersteering, you learned how to do it when you're but a wee lad on your bicycle. People do it without realizing it, it's muscle memory.
Turning a motorcycle is an art form its'elf but a typical, untalented motorcyclist should be able to corner around in traffic as quickly as an unhurried car can.
Watch Twist of the Wrist 2 on youtube. It's corny acting but it goes into the science behind countersteering/ motorcycle handling and goes into the preferred methods of cornering at speed.
>>15280261
I read both TOTW books and watched the video, felt like it was way above my head. I guess I'll rewatch it, ride more, rewatch it again.

why do people do this?
The back wheel seems a little loose since I sorted the fork seals and put fresh fork oil in my 600. So the rear suspension is being shown up by the improved front suspension, or I'm just not used to the feel of the bike when it's in good shape?
>>15280394

>>15280445

Don't tell anyone.
>>15280452
Oh my God do you really need someone to tell you it depends on your job you fucking baby? I drive a filthy fucking truck in the filthy fucking piers all day so I wear whatever meme shirt I want but if you're a pencil pusher in an office then yes I would bring a spare shirt. Pic related is a high test choice for filthy fucks like me.
>>15280459
They would look naked because the shit fairing design was the downfall there.
>>15280454

Also, I leave all the vents on the jacket open so I don't sweat, and when it's warm I wear mesh.
I wear wrinkle-free shirts if I have to be shirt-and-tie, the wrinkles fall right out of the good ones. Most of the time I wear polo shirts, though. I have some from Lands End that are really T-shirts with collars.
I wear overpants, but I havn't found any I really like yet. Either too bulky or hard to get on-off. But they keep the pants clean.
I wear Red Wings hipster boots now, but before that I just kept my dress shoes in my file drawer in my desk.

Is there somewhere I can go to learn intermediate level tips on riding my supersport?
I can't afford track training because I'm fucking broke but I love flogging twisties and want to get better.
>>15280632
Like my gs? It's a 500
>>15280729
nothing can replace a properly instructed track training and I don't think there is anything besides track and MSF course. Your best bet would just be watching TOTW a lot and practice at your twisties.
>>15280729
get a race rail and take it slow. hit the twisties and talk to the kneedraggers. videotaping will help to recognize your mistakes
R6 > ZX6R > GSX-R600 > CBR600RR
>>15280729
make videos of your riding, go over the videos and see where you are making mistakes, improve from that.
>>15280747
The motorcycle community in my small ass country town comprises of harleys. There are no kneedraggers I know.
>>15280758
I can't afford trackdays which are actually a bit cheaper than a video camera so that puts that idea right out.

Yeah I know gear is important which is why I'm looking to buy good used stuff rather than shoddy new shit.
>>15280831
That's the thing: New price for the whole suit was upwards of 1000€, you can get them used for 3-500 for a good example. I'm prepared to pay that (plus 150 bucks for a nice used leather jacket) for a good set.

>The Kawasaki KX250F was co-developed with the Suzuki Motor Co. under their unique joint venture that started in 2002. This joint venture produced the Suzuki RMZ250 which is the mechanical twin to the KX250F but is in yellow Suzuki markings. The first year of the KX250F was 2004 and it saw immediate success in Supercross and Motocross racing capturing the East/West SX championships as well as the national MX title.
Honestly why do companies do these joint developments? Kawi has less brand recognition than Suzuki so they would probably benefit form Suzuki's budget, but probably still wouldn't sell as many bikes. The KLX400 was also the green DRZ clone but they only did it for a year or two.

It does hurt your eyes. Its just diluted due to the higher lumens of daylight..
I enjoy turning on my 4 ft LED light bar and 6 spot lights when i come across an idiot on a bike who does it. They tend to turn it off after copping an eye full of those in the daylight.
