[QUOTE="CaptainObvious, post: 1059350, member: 17060"] Two different types of turns...two different techniques. For berms you want to sit forward on the seat, way forward – like on the tank, sit on the crown of the seat (in a left turn, this would be the right edge of the seat), weigh the outside peg, look through the turn, get the outside elbow up and move the unweighted foot so it’s out by the front axle. Breaking and throttle technique play a large factor for the amount of “slide” you want entering and exiting the turn. For a flat turn all is the same, except you want to sit more back in the saddle, providing more weight, and therefore traction, to the rear tire. Breaking and throttle should be smooth to avoid abrupt forward/aft weight transfer. However, once the bike is through the apex of the turn, and assuming all is right in the world, you can begin to roll in a lot of throttle and additional counter-steer. [/QUOTE]
