I am watching all your videos and appreciate them all. But I think what are you saying here is incorrect. The power band will not move up or down by gearing changes. The power band is engine specific, and isn't influenced by the gearing. At least to my knowledge.
@LexcoMotoGymkhana Ай бұрын
In a technical sense, I believe you are correct. When changing gearing ratio, it’s more a “perceived” change in where the bike is making peak torque/power in the rev range. So even though, from the engine’s standpoint, the power band hasn’t changed, in effect, the power band is translated differently to the ground by changing the final drive. Thanks for the great question and clarification.

I can highly recommend the book ' Sportbike suspension tuning' by Andrew Trevitt in adition to Lee Parks books. Trevitt is going much deeper in the details of geometry and positioning the tubes in the clamps or adjusting the damperlenght. His approach is also based on using the suspension adjustments already available, play around with these and then upgrade and spend money once you have understood the principles of geometry. Great video and channel 🤘

Hello and thanks for the question. When this video was first posted, I received lots of comments and questions about this. Some comments were a little combative, lol. So I ended up making another video explaining this dynamic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIjbXmSDpdiUlZo I hope that video helps. I wish I could have a conversation about this with Mr. Yoshida from the Kintaro videos to ask for clarification. My guess and opinion is that when he says that the bike goes quicker around the turn the more you lean, he's talking about the amount of time it takes to go around the curve, but not faster as far as speed (mph/kph), per se. The more you lean the bike, the tighter the radius of the curve which means you are reducing the distance you must travel. So you DO make it through the curve more quickly...but it doesn't increase your actual speed. I hope my response along with the other video that I linked answers your question. Thanks for watching ;)

Would softening the rear suspension assist in this self steering technique?
@LexcoMotoGymkhana 3 ай бұрын
Great question. I can see why you would think that but it’s a little trickier than that. When it comes to the rear shock, we also need to balance the fact that the shock also needs to keep us stable during all of our maneuvering, accelerating and braking. So if we go too soft, we will be wallowing around on top of our shock. But if we go too firm, we will not allow for the subtle weight shifts to happen. So we need to find a balance between too soft and too firm. In both front and rear, I like to have slightly firm springs and go relatively softer on compression damping. If you have softer springs, you might need more compression damping. Another thing to consider is pace. Once you start to improve and go faster, physical forces will be more aggressive, so we might need a firmer settings as well. Lots of things to consider.

The "Flop" part of the maneuver is the moment you reach the new, desired lean angle. We want to transition as quickly as possible from side to side. The "flip" is when you're on the old lean angle and when you initiate the transition, the "flop" is when you land on the new lean angle and have completed the transition. The timing of this "flip-flop" might seem arbitrary at first, but in a Level 2 video called "Use The Force", it becomes clear why I teach students to think of it this way.

I wonder if SSB bars are made out of steel or some light alloy? Can't get them here, no shipping available. I make my own crash bars. 4 iterations already, some weren't sturdy enough, some weren't good for ground clearance, another let the bike to lie too low and i struggled to lift it afterwards. Front-back center of mass is important. IMHO it's best to drag your CoM as rearward as reasonably possible without inducing wheelies on acceleration. It makes rotations a lot easier. If you can also modify your swingarm to be shorter, it makes a lot of difference as both your wheelbase becomes shorter and your CoM shifts rearwards between your tires' contact patches without altering ergonomics. Careful, as the bike becomes more prone to wobbling at road speeds with rear CoM.

First of all a great thank you for making me discover the channels of 'AntiPilotedeLigneDroite' and 'the amazing Kintaro'. They completely changed my understanding of turning on a motorcycle. Could you share your insights on how to decide which crash bars will be sufficient in preventing damage to the engine, frame and also prevent the motorcycle from tipping over? I just installed a Givi engine guard, put the bike on its side to check where it made contact with the ground and was pretty satisfied at first. But then I noticed that the bike could tip further over if it had enough momentum (like in a crash) and possibly create a contact point between the tank and the ground. Givi made an extra crash bar which protects more of the upper part of the bike and so I went and installed that one as well. It becomes difficult for the bike to tip over but it looks really awful on my bike (which is a Yamaha XSR 700). The reason it looks so bad is because they only make the crash cage for the MT-07, as it has the same frame as my bike but it's much bulkier on top with the fairings. So it's not a good fit and I'm looking for a better solution. Most crash bars are sold online and so it's often impossible to know how they will fit on the bike, which contact points they create with the ground in case of a slide and also if you need only need one part that protects most of the bottom half of your bike or if you need to install multiple guards. I also try to work out at which angle the bike should rest in case of a crash but it's difficult to work that out. Also, looking at the SSB crash bars, they don't protect your engine like a typical engine guard that really wraps around your engine. Would you feel okay with leaving the engine quite exposed and just going for an SSB bar for example? I'm a bit reluctant to remove the engine protection I have now but if I leave the engine guard, I'm not able to install another crash bar without doing some major modifications due to compatibility issues between different brands. The SSB bars seem to do the trick for motogymkhana and falls at lower speeds but for higher speeds or just commuting, I feel a bit scared that the engine and other parts are still exposed. And the SSB's are so expensive. I already thought about checking out companies who make custom metal parts in my neighborhood hoping they're cheaper than SSB but I don't know the answer to that yet. So I basically have some difficulty in evaluating when crash bars protect the bike sufficiently or not. I was hoping to get your insights on this.
@LexcoMotoGymkhana 4 ай бұрын
Honestly, I would save up and go with the SSB. Even though it may seem very minimalist as far as protection, they know exactly how to protect the bike the best with the least amount of material to avoid making the bike heavier. They've been designing these bars for a while and I trust their experience and judgment. But I feel you're on the right track: If you can, find someone in your area that makes custom bars, check to see how much they charge. It might be a better value.

Keep in mind that this is referring to a tight rotation turn, not a normal, road speed turn. During a tight rotation turn, the priority is not front tire grip and the unloading of the front wheel allows the front end to lighten up and allows the self steering action to turn the handlebars quickly. This is explained in the Level 2 lessons, especially the one called The Magic Moment.
@GraymatterPix 4 ай бұрын
Confused... I've heard some people talk about removing steering stops to increase steering radius, and I've also seen YT videos showing blocks added to decrease steering turn, as you discuss. Does this just come down to personal preference? My first thought would be that removing stops to increase steering angle would be more beneficial. But I do sometimes have an uncomfortable feeling that the front is over steering and tucking under the bike. Maybe adding blocks would prevent this? This uncomfortable feeling is usually when I'm too long on the front brake in a turn. If I get off the front brake and more on the back brake, I still get to full lock but the sensation is not uncomfortable.
@LexcoMotoGymkhana 4 ай бұрын
Personally, I've never encountered a bike that did not have enough steering radius. I've only encountered bikes that have too much. It's definitely possible there are bikes out there in the world that don't steer enough...so you would have to remove the steer stops but like I said, I've never seen a bike like that. It sounds like you don't have the issue of not enough steering radius if you are feeling that ugly, tucking sensation when reaching full lock. I would experiment with the steer stops. Use wheel weights but without the strong glue at first; use the mild adhesive that come on the weight already. That way, if you don't like it, you can easily remove it. And you are correct: Staying on the front brake too deep into the Magic Moment can definitely give you that same kind of over rotating feel. It will make the Magic Moment happen TOO quickly and If you combine that with a steering radius that is too great, it could get ugly very fast. This is why I recommend getting off the front brake right away when you feel the bars start to turn and do the rest of your slowing with just rear brake.

It depends on both your bike and your riding style. Some people prefer tighter rotations, some people prefer larger rotation radius with more speed carried through it. If you have a small displacement engine, you are sorta forced into the second category as you need to carry your speed through the course. Reducing your steering angle is beneficial for your confidence, as Alex said in the video. If you have a larger engine which could accelerate you out of a tight rotation, you may want to cut into your steering stops to tighten your rotation radius.

My personal opinion, this should have been the 1st mod discussed in the series for the crash bars and ergo adjustment reminder. Still a great video series! Regarding seating position, look at the other Japanese riders with Sumo builds, they are actually seating as forward as possible to be able to easily maximize steering and accelerate harder without inducing wheelies. Maybe its the reason the complaints of forward sloping seats are mostly on Japanese bikes.
@LexcoMotoGymkhana 4 ай бұрын
Yeah, it was a tough decision on choosing the first video...but I can agree, the crash protection especially is a crucial topic. When it comes to seating position on the supermoto, I tend to see people in Japan sitting with the butt right over the foot pegs or slightly behind the foot pegs. But with Takayoshi Sakuta, he was even further back. Check out this example:kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXm9pp96f8-fd6c I tend to put my butt just over the strip of material that acts as a handle on the seat. When I sit there, I feel the most balance.

Nice video! Trail braking while leaned up to full steering stop with the front fork compressed and staying compressed after removing the brakes is one of my favorite riding sensations and really very satisfying to nail. Regarding brake overheat, what are the calipers used on the Ninja and BMW? The one time I overheated my rear brake, instead of locking the caliper it lost brakes. Its the stock Nissin on the 2016 Versys 650. I just find it interesting that overheat affects brakes differently. Personally, I don't mind the rubber hoses at the rear but I'm so tempted to upgrade the front hoses as I find precision control on the front brakes helps the timing on trail braking to max steering angle. The stock brake hoses feels different in the morning practice compared to the afternoon and I have not tried a steel braided hoses yet and wonder if the upgrade is worth it since its hard to find locally.
@LexcoMotoGymkhana 4 ай бұрын
I don't remember what the Ninja had. It was a budget bike and I think the caliper was made by Kawasaki. The BMW has Brembo. What's funny is that when the BMW rear would overheat, I would wait until it cooled (about 30 min) and it would unlock and start working normally again. But with the Ninja, it would STAY LOCKED even after cooling. I would have to remove the caliper and push the pistons back manually to reset them. The good news is that I soon figured out how to stop the overheating and it stopped being a problem but there were some frustrating moments caused by this.

For the other viewers, Alex's tips are for easier learning and ekking out time for competition. Most Japanese bikes can do MotoGymkhana bone stock even for intermediate level riders. My Versys 650 is bone stock (engine and sprockets) and can do decent even at 1400-1500 idle rpms. If budget is tight, its better to focus on actual training sessions than modding (don't let lack of mods stop you from training and enjoying gymkhana). The instructors at the honda school I go to use all kinds of bikes bone stock since mods are not allowed on the school bikes. I've seen them ride gymkhana cb150r up to cb1000r, Africa Twins, even crf150 with knobbies (ok maybe not the supersports with the low clipon handlebars, I concede those need modding for gymkhana).

Thanks for these new series of videos mate. As a person getting into gymkhana it's proving to be invaluable information for me. Videos are also super clear and concise, which is really appreciated.
