as a relatively inexperienced rider (3 bikes, 20k miles mostly in UK) let me explain why I feel like I need to learn how to be comfortable leaning more on MY CURRENT BIKE. On my previous bike an 08 FZ6, sometimes I could compensate for my wrong corner entry speed by leaning more mid-turn or just take the corner more safely etc. On my Tracer 900 GT, I still don't have that confidence and to be honest I'm still a bit scared - I changed the rear suspension and the tyres and it definitely feels much better, but I'm not there yet. That's why I'm going to do a track day this summer, I want to be safer on this bike for me and for my pillion. Love the videos!

Probably cos parking maneuvers and u-turns don't matter and don't apply over 50km/h. Leaning allows you to take turns without reducing speed as much. And he says such in his video.

Hi MotoJitsu I'm a lady if 67 just back into biking after 16 years away . I watch loads of KZbin videos for all the techniques I need to become a better motorcycle rider . I've just watched your lasted one on cornering Afraid to lean?? Your words are so absolutely true , I'm not bothered how far my knee gets down or the speed I enter or leave a tight bend , I just want to feel I've taken the correct line , looked in the direction I want to go ( and not get distracted) turn throttle when seeing the exit of the bend , and come through feeling ,wow that felt good ,I did it and I'm still on the bike ! I'm definitely feeling more confident now , but I'm doing some more refresher training on Friday, using the schools motorbike , for u turns , quick stopping , weaving between cones and pushing the bike around manually. I ride a Kawasaki Z650 and I'm so loving being back out on the road again. In fact I ride more miles than I drive 😂 thank you again for all your knowledge and help ❤

I started riding a couple of years ago and I just started on the Harley I wanted. The MSF instructor and the first videos I found were by former motorcycle officers and they both put the idea in my head that I had to lean the bike as much as possible. I spent months doing almost nothing but practicing and leaning. Once I got a lot of practice under my belt I found that I almost never had to do low speed u turns or figure 8’s. I was proficient, but in normal riding it would not come up. So I left it behind and focused on practicing emergency stops, cornering properly, like you are talking about. I got a Tuono 660 also, and practiced the rest of the techniques instead of leaning including a huge focus on lane position, situational awareness and planning ahead, seeing what the cars were all about to do and my riding got a lot better as a result. It is fine to develop low speed turns and leaning the bike, but the other parts are more important in saving your life or going faster than the single minded focus on leaning as much as possible.

Sweet, I also got a Tuono 660 but dropped the slow speed cornering drills rather quickly as that bike would "stutter" too much at slow speeds just on the clutch, unlike the trainer bikes I rode. Not sure if it can be fine tuned at the garage. What's your experience?

Most of us don't realize we tend to let off the throttle during slow speed maneuvers but if you maintain the power throughout, feather your clutch as needed you'll notice a drastic difference. Rear brake will help you stabilize some but you'll be surprised what happens even without the rear brake, how much control you'll have just with throttle & clutch.

It just dawned on me that a lot of what is taught by most every good instructer to novice and even intermediate riders , comes natural to some people. Kind of like "mechanically inclined" but for motorcycle riding. I'm not talking about actual phyically riding but he mental part of it all. It also made me pause and thing just because I could not understand someones inabiltiy to be aware or your surrounds and be able to make meaningul safe predictions. I get from my line of work.

Somebody said , riders are not getting killed in parking lots or doing u-turns, they are getting killed carrying too much speed and being unable to negotiate turns. I agree with that statement. Parking lot drills are good for learning a new bike and feeling the clutch out. But you are not going to learn a life saving move in a parking lot. I did what you did and left it behind. I will do some parking lot drills in winter when its too cold to do a lot of riding. Watching traffic and predicting traffic, lane position, planning ahead, and good brake control will keep you alive.

Couldn't have said it better. Lean all you want in a circuit. It's a controlled environment. On the road there are a LOT of unknowns. While in the middle of a turn there could be sudden crossings, sudden incomings, sand, oil, etc. The more you lean the less control you have. Aside from not riding when it's not necessary, my other aim is to get to my target location as quickly and as safe as possible. Leaning don't achieve that. Putting down the gas on the straights and being good at snaking through traffic does.

I just did my first ART (Advanced Rider Training) and learned a LOT about braking and leaning. Lean = RISK. And if you're not LOADING the tire before you WORK the tire, you're going to low-side the bike. There's no shortcut for practicing.

I agree with you BUT... Why do I want to be more comfortable with leaning? Your drills are slow speed, you counterbalance in a slow turn. When I am riding at speed(like you are in this video) sometimes I come across a increased radius turn, a very different situation. I would like this tool in my arsenal so I dont panic, I just lean more. Track days the instructors advise not to panic, trust the tires and bike. Lean more! I just want to be comfortable with this allusive tool adding to all the other skills I acquired.

I went to my first gymkhana session yesterday. Cannot recommend it enough! They taught us ONE very simple technique (I think you've gone over in quite a few videos) that applies to most of what we were doing, and in just perfecting that one technique I went from looking like a complete n00b to having enough confidence in the machine to scrape pegs at 10mph. Another absolutely invaluable part of the experience was taking on the course on the variety of club bikes available. The dual-sport was probably the easiest to get around the course quickly, but more importantly it gave me an appreciation for how different machines feel and handle, yet fundamentally do the exact same thing. As for fear of lean, it's directly opposed by confidence in the machine (and rubber). Getting to know the bike better helps a lot.

I popped my true lean cherry the other night. I was flying into a moderate uphill curve (60mph) and it was either push and lean harder and hopefully turn harder or definitely crash over a median into a brick wall and total my bike 🏍️. Well I pushed and leaned harder but it wasn’t enough until I remembered that thing you said about moving my head over my bars. As soon as I popped my head over my right handle the turn was good and felt nice and stable. By the next day/ride I could tell my skill level had gone up as far as fast turns. Your advice is great, I use many of your tips every single time I ride and a couple of them have legitimately saved me and the bike more than once.

I view leaning as: trusting the physics. You're in a controlled fall, but that motion is the only way to not run your bike off the road. The operative word being: CONTROL. Entry speed, amount of countersteering, braking habits, and obstacle avoidance. It's a means to an end. And as I've been riding more, I'm finding I'm more comfortable leaning at modest speeds rather than low speeds. Guess that means I need to practice more.

Back to riding after a very long break. 'You'll never get rid of all of your fear' is maybe one of the most important things I've heard recently. Knowing that you're human and normal and that others feel similarly helps ;-) I've been down twice; an oil slick at an intersection and mud/gravel on a corner in the mountains in a thunderstorm. Not hurt because I was dressed for the fall. I'm also a hang glider pilot, so I'm used to a little adrenaline! Thanks Eddie!

Nice video! Personally, I don't know and I don't care if someone is evaluating my leaning angle. Still, there were some moments when I wanted to be more confident in leaning and not jumping on the brakes. Of course, all those moments were my mistake for being distracted by my thoughts and not reducing the speed more before the corner. Practicing leaning in a parking place it's a bit different than leaning on the road due to unexpected situation. I would call it "emergency leaning"... It could be the topic of your next video: Emergency leaning vs Emergency braking in corners, or when would you prefer to lean, rather than push the brakes more. It would be nice to hear your opinion and what makes you decide between the two (considering that it should be a very quick decision).

All things going to plan we would all be entering a bend at the perfect speed but just sometimes due to misjudgement or whatever I for one occasionally find I'm going in a bit too fast for comfort. That's the time when it's useful to be able to push the bike through the bend (countersteer to keep you from running wide). Trail braking too. Maybe the natural reaction in those situations is to stand the bike up and brake hard, something I have done in the past but I hope I am over that now. What I'm really trying to say is those are the situations where getting comfortable with more lean angle is useful.

When I was first starting motorcycles, I spent a lot of time on parking lot learning slow speed drills, learning to lean, etc. But compared to people who have ridden less miles than me, I’m still way less comfortable in the twisties. I realized that slow speed skill is not the same animal as high speed skill. I’m comfortable counterleaning the heck out of the bike on a parking lot, but I’m scared to counterbalance or even staying neutral at high speed curves. Only once I realized I need to practice twisties to get better at twisties did I start improving at that

@MotoJitsu I loved the video. One question: how do you know there is no gravel, rock crush or other, in the middle of that blind curve you go through with 90 points of grip?? You talk to road maintenance crews that morning or you have a link to a web site I don’t?

maybe do a test ride, where you check the conditions of the road before going mach 10 thru a turn

I'm buying a 2007 Suzuki C50 in about 3 hours. I've ridden a few sportbikes but that was just test driving. I'm gonna take it to the church parking lot beside the guys house and warm up for an hour or so before I ride it the 12 miles home

Maybe that's the "learning curve"?. Sorry. Couldn't resist. Yes - this happens. Happy happy then, "Oh shit - too fast" all of a sudden. Keep riding. I never knew about counter steering / trail braking / less lean angle etc. before Moto Jitsu. Every ride is a practice session. Pick a thing and make it that days lesson. Happy trails.

I think what riders are asking is how to not go off the outside of a turn and crash. How do you negotiate a corner when you feel like you're going too fast when you enter it?

more lean = more risk...of course it's fun to lean, and the bike needs to in order to turn...but no need to add unnecessary lean instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

In my opinion learning how to lean to the max and to be able to feel the point where the tyres are loosing grip doesn't mean you than have to drive always like that. It's just a skill that can save your life the day you have misjudged a turn. It's like stretching the range of the situations in which you are still somehow familiar so that once you find yourself in, you don't get bricked by panic and stay smooth and flexible.. and on the bike!

Leaning to me seems like a novice to expert thing to achieve or hold a standard to, like a at one riding with your machine. To pursue something further trying to feel comfortable in a choreographical way, kind of like what you see the best do in motorcycle racing.
