I've felt the limit many times on my road tires, that moment when the rear starts to slip, my instinctive reactions have always stopped it from sliding further, I automatically(subconsciously) reduce my lean angle a bit and push with the inner leg, putting my weight more towards the inside and forward on the bike.

I could not disagree more. Maybe riding on the street gives you more instances of vague feedback, but how many riders have the ability to push the front on street tires? Now take an expert racer on slicks...I promise there’s more feedback from the rubber as compared to a rock hard and greasy street DOT.
@mr.fingerbrake23235 жыл бұрын
Personally I found the best way to experience feedback & feel simply & easily on the bike on the road/track is in the wet. Even better would be if you ride an off-road bike on dirt/gravel. Great way to learn to stay relaxed & feel the feedback from the bike. You'll quickly/simply find the limits of grip & this will aid in appreciating how things feel as you reach that limit. You can then simply transfer that feedback/feel to dry or wet track conditions. Ps. Seen many a trackday rider come to grief during high track temperatures thinking they'll have more grip. On track I consider the track temperature more important than simply dry, or wet. Either end of that temperature spectrum will reduce overall grip & listening to what the bikes telling you becomes critical. Thanks for all the information & help! Looking forward to my third season on track.👍

Excellent video as always. One thing that helped me greatly and I will try to do more of in the future is running on a pit bike or mini bike in a figure eight (wearing full gear) in the parking lot. You can crank her over fully and feel the front and rear ends break traction and recover from this, even feel both ends get loose, without the expensive and dangerous consequences of doing this on your big bike. It also helped me with body position, as I realized how far I need to tuck the inside foot in, so it won’t drag first.

Ride dirt bikes first so your mind gets used to sliding a bike around, throttle and brake control. After some practice on dirt and slippery surfaces you will develop a feel for it and natural body English will take over when you find yourself in a bad situation. This experience has saved my ass countless times on the street riding my ZX7 and 748 and KTM 450 SMR. My experience is backed up by the fact that the top GP riders spend time practicing off road and supermoto. It has helped me develop a 6th sense and I just respond in the moment because I can sense the change in feel and feedback. Also, while you can get hurt riding anything, you will be a little safer at lower speeds learning to slide, drift and lean on dirt. A crash has less energy and momentum on dirt compared to track days at paved road circuit making it potentially less expensive and less dangerous to you. I got my track license at Willow Springs on a ZX7 back in the day. It will be weird at first when they tell you if you don’t go fast they will pull you off the track! Kind of the opposite of a ticket! Shiny side up!

This. I grew up on motocross bikes. There's nothing better for learning how to handle a motorcycle since it involves constant movement around the seat, leaning, sliding, jumping, landing, clutch/throttle/brake control, picking lines, split-second visual skills and something a lot of people don't think about...controlling wheel rotation to put the bike in a particular position in relation to the track and available lines. I can't recommend dirt riding enough to improve your motorcycle skill.
@muntee335 жыл бұрын
I mainly ride dirt bikes and I kinda disagree. The angle at which you hit the ground is usually a LOT higher than on tarmac plus the height you are falling from is almost always higher. Especially when riding in enduro environments where trees, rocks, embankments etc etc often get in the way of your bike-less crash landing.... Coupled with the lower traction and irregular surface results in sometimes unexpected bike movement which can lead to your foot making firm contact with the ground (at 80-100kmph, at awkward angles and with not only your weight behind it but your velocity coupled with some of the bikes mass and velocity.... Often ends in busted knees- Couple of weeks on the couch eating candy for adults 3x a day, free happy meal at a hospital and then several more weeks on the couch and a fun little day trips to the physio to confirm your still too cowardly to use your new and improved knee bit with the confidence and mindlessness you didn’t know you enjoyed so much before. Lol. Or you stuff a landing up and someone else decides right where your crawling would be a lovely place to make their landing... If say the bad stacks on tarmac have more severe consequences, but the average stuff of on a dirt bike tends to ‘leave a bigger impression’ on your day to day life for the next few days/months... And they happen fairly regularly unless your are very, very good and are happy to ride at 80% everywhere.

I’m bringing an old comment back to life here but I think my dirt experience is very beneficial on the street. A few weeks ago with cold tires I was making a left and accelerating onto an on ramp. I was a speed that seemed pretty tame to me but I must’ve asked more from the tires than I thought. The rear started to spin and rather than chopping or tensing up I loosened up all my inputs on the bike except for holding a steady throttle and let her finish out the slide and come back to traction when it was aligned. If I didn’t have time on dirt I for sure would’ve chopped the throttle and tensed up. It’s definitely a little more uncomfortable on pavement though as it’s much less forgiving. Regaining traction at the right time is super important.

@@elemento1991 good move and save! I had a moment on a mountain road as I approached the corner I could see silt bands, run off from the hillside, across the middle of the corner coming up. It was a wait and see moment! I held my line and power and passed thru the bands. I could feel the bike move under me and regain traction but it was a pucker factor for sure. If the bands were wider I’m sure I would have fallen that day.

Now I know what my capability is on that turn and it only further made it my favorite turn. Thanks for the great content!

This is a good video. This does apply to street riders as well, it's just that we shouldn't be pushing anywhere near as close to the limits. I definitely know when I'm about to run out of traction based upon the feel of the bike. It's hard to really describe, but most people should be able to feel the rear wheel lock up even without any obvious signs that it has done so. It just feels differently. Personally, I love having the opportunity to go nuts in a parking lot with nice clean pavement and nothing to run into. There's nothing quite so satisfying as climbing up on top of the bike and forcing it to lean as far as possible at lower speeds.

1:50 Sometimes it happens that the surface provides enough grip when not moving (static friction) but once it loses grip it just flies away. Imagine a piece of gum stuck on the desk and you push it. It doesn't move at all, but once it unsticks there is zero friction. Of course, tyres are not gum and the road is not a desk surface, but still, it's somewhat important to keep it in mind

Dirt tracking allows us as riders to push get the feel learn to react and yes crash a lot at a much lower cost of repair . MM besides crashing a lot makes more visible saves which means he pushes past the simple saves more thAn others .. at a high level it was a constant to save . Once you learn steering and how to assist with leg to pickup a sliding bike . Dirt bikes more foot road is knee really it all transfers. Is there any top RR that does not play on dirt ?

Doesn't matter if it's the front or back tyre, backing the throttle off or squeezing the brakes, its not going to save you. I think, and I'm by no means an expert, that any feedback you get from a bike when it's tipped in, is the pants wetting voice of Death or the equally shit splatting voice of the equally horrific but rare, 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse, pain and hospitalization.

I remember when I was a beginner and started accumulating significant saddle time at faster and faster paces, I started having these "moments" on my bikes where I felt like something was mechanically wrong with the bike. Like I'd let off the gas in sharp corner and feel like something was loose or not secured in the rear. Or I'd start feeling vibrations through the rearsets and worry that something was wrong with the clutch, chain, or other part of the driveline. I started noticing different engine noises and vibrations and different feelings through the suspension. My initial interpretations of these phenomena were to worry about some mechanical or tuning issue. But after continuing to put more and more time and effort into riding, I eventually figured it out. As I improved and my motor skills became more automatic and relaxed, my attention began to free up, making me aware of all of these subtle details that the chassis was transmitting to me. Bikes are so dynamic as you ride them and they change geometry constantly. They also transmit a massive amount of input to the rider, especially compared to the frankly numb sensations of modern cars, with their electric steering and braking, heavily damped chassis, etc. Each new barrier you cross as a rider will open up new sensations that need to be processed and adapted to. Making yourself open to these inputs consciously does help, but I also agree that only experience can really unlock these new dimensions. We have finite attention capacities and until our brains can handle it's most pressing concerns subconsciously, we simply cannot notice the more subtle stimuli.
