Increase your skills on a Motorcycle (part 6) : How to manage the speed doing a tight or a u-turn

If you guys want to increase your leaning skills, like tight turns, U-turns, brake when the bike is leaned, lean with less chance to slide, etc, don't hesitate to contact us and do a training course with us :
antipilotedelignedroite.fr/fr...
Version Française ici : • Gagner en Maniabilité ...
In one of the previous video, we saw how the fall of the bike is important when you want to use the Energetic Drivability to turn tight, we saw how rotation works, brake when the bike is leaned... Now it is time to think about speed, to turn tight, and without loosing some times. First, we will see some reminders in this video, then some demonstration, on traffic lanes and training area, riding a Kawazaki ZX-10R, a BMW 1200RT and a Honda NC700 with automatic transmission.

Tons of thanks for the English version!

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

You're welcome :)

[@MistaWeeGee]

Both technique and physics are well explained. Packaging both into one video is great, the best explanation on both technique and the reasons why, I have seen. Thank you very much

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Thank you, I am glad if it helps :)

[@Elscroftz]

The most educational / comprehensible video so far. Infinite gratitude for throwing light into this topic.

Huge thanks to your videos, without your explanation I'm not able to understand why I'm not able to touch the steering lock while practicing on my bike❤.

Wow…..what a very helpful video, appreciate your time explaining….and as I have a NC750XDCT….really great to see how that bike makes a tight U turn…..thank you

[@wadeblake3451]

Very impressive. I have a dct wing so I ve found this video particularly instructive. I look forward to implementing this procedure. 👍

Thank you :) The Goldwing with the DCT transmission is a very nice bike for sure!

Great video as usual. I think this time you touched more on the fine sensations and how to integrate every skill into the tight turn. Keep it coming!

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Thank you :) I think the previous videos prepare this one ;)

[@velimirk]

I agree with others that your videos are the most educational because of your deep understanding of motorcycle behavior and your willingness to share your experience with us. Thanks for that! . One question regarding most of your tutorials: Are you riding in 1st or 2nd gear mostly? In my Tracer 7, 1st gear is rather jerky, and for slow maneuvers, 2nd is much better, going 15-17 km/h without throttle. Thanks in advance.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

I am in 1st gear, this allows me to play with the throttle, but if you cand o it in second gear, why not ?

[@otkortho]

I was really looking forward to it. Thank you for contacting me.

[@roarkshsha]

Thank you. Alot of questions I have had are being answered. One question. How are you leaning the bike without handlebar input?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

You're welcome :) I am using hip, legs, butt, but it is a movement hard to describ, even during the course we are providing, as not everybody control his body the same way each other...

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Hello, my apologies, I just saw your comment, I never received notifications from KZbin, and yours like many others just appeared in the "comments" tab of the channel... Tank you for your comment :)

[@omidfazli3462]

Nice technique and video. I had much difficulty understanding the text and that detracts from your great effort to present your technique. Could you get a native speaker to edit the text ? It would really enhance your outcome. I hope you don’t take it the wrong way. I am interested in your work. Keep it up👍

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Thank you :) You know, even if french (which is my native language), there are no audio... For now, I am not convinced about what is better, between texts (then you can use pause button and the you have time to read and understand), or audio, then you can listen and look in the same time

[@JaoMAS]

How about using the clutch in the friction zone? when doing the u-turn instead of using the rear brake, just release more the clutch to create more centrifugal force ?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

I don't use the friction zone, if you look to the third part of the video. The difference is about speed: the speed I have to do the u-turn is faster, so I don't need to use the clutch. This way, there is no risk to damage it :) For some bike, like sport bikes who turn turn to much, you'll need to be faster to have enough centrifugal force, as the handlebar can't turn to much. So if you are to much slow, you will fall. On trail bike for exemple, if you are slower, it is not a problem, as the handlebar can turn more (stop steers are far away). With this kind of bike, you can be slower, and then, use the clutch.

Merci pour une vidéo aussi instructive...ce serait bien si vous pouviez la sous-titrer en espagnol, car il y a beaucoup de pays qui lisent et parlent cette langue, je vous félicite pour les vidéos. Gracias por un video tan instructivo....sería fantástico puedas subtitularlo a español, ya que hay muchos países leen y hablan ese idioma, te felicito por los videos.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Merci , c'est gentil, mais je ne parle pas Espagnol, désolé... je comprend le problème, mais je ne parle que Anglais et Français et un traducteur décent coûte de l'argent :)

[@JH-wt3zq]

Do you use the same technique for tight right hand uphill alpine switchbacks. I feel that i am going too slow.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Yes, curves in mountains are wider than here, so they are "easier"

[@victorjozwicki8179]

Nice 3D model :D

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

lol merci beaucoup ;)

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

I am always scared to skid (on road debris) and fall when I would perform tight and very leaned turns. I have to overcome the scary bit I guess.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

In this way of riding, your chance of slidding are very low, as we work smmoth on lean and throttle and brake :)

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

@@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite Merci pour l'info, dommage que ton école soit un peu loin pour moi. J'adorerais suivre un cours avec vous les gars.

[@hleeb926]

Do you counter-steer to begin the turn?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

No :) this is why I train without hand

[@hleeb926]

Interesting. Is this better than counter-steering?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

For me it is better, as the handlebar is always in the good direction, so the radius will be always shorter than with counter steering. But the price to pay is the bike is harder to lean :)

[@hleeb926]

Many thanks. Will try this!! (In the spring.)

[@UltimateDazzle]

Not placing any force through the handlebars is going to be a learning curve

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

What do you mean?

[@UltimateDazzle]

@@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite Ne pas placer de force à travers le guidon va être une courbe d'apprentissage

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

lol I did understand your sentence in english, but what is not clear for me, is what you meant with "learning curve". Do you mean, you will have to accept a new curve (on your bike) by doing this, or do you mean, this will be a new way of thinking?

[@UltimateDazzle]

@@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite when someone describes a learning curve in English they mean the rate of a person's progress in gaining experience or new skills, and in this case it’s stopping the subconscious desire to move the handlebars as the bike rolls into the turn due to the fear of falling By the way I love the way you explain the maths/physics involved in the process
