Thanks. Makes sense. Is there any particular gear that I should be on during downhill cornering? How about body positioning? Should I put more weight on the rear and stand my body alittle bit?it's no different from going uphill.... You're just more scared going downhill.... The only difference being that you're not using as much throttle. Keep in mind that while going through the corner you should keep your throttle constant, how ever far it's open, if you're going through the corner at an appropriate speed, the throttle should be constant, and only upon exit should you be opening the throttle.... Going downhill, you obviously have gravity helping you, instead of hindering you when going uphill, so brake earlier, and a little more, and keep your throttle constant as you do while going uphill....
Makes sense?
Being able to be relax would be a step in the right direction. Not being so tense and rigid will help you focus more on what is going on. Once you become more confident you will relax more. The book mentioned earlier is an extremely helpful resource. It will help you understand all the inputs the bike receives from you and the road and how they effect the bike. I was lucky to have borrowed that book for an entire off-season. READ IT TWICE!!! ...lolPlease share your tips and the correct way to tackle downhill corners.
No problem in cornering uphill, but Im a little nervous going back because it's downhill.:facepalm:
Thanks.
