It is very rare for someone to be too far forward in a turn. You do have to move around on the bike quite a bit when turning, though.kawraper said:I was getting too far over the bars for one, 2nd i was leaning too far in and not putting enough pressure on the outside peg.
LEllis7motox said:This is a little off topic but i was just wondering if this is proper, When applying the brakes or slowing down before a turn you lean back on the seat and when going around the berm/turning you go way up on the seat with your head over the bars and foot by the front wheel?
Me above said:Approaching the turn, you generally want to be fairly far back and on the brakes hard. Just as you enter the turn, you usually want to transition off the brakes and get yourself forward, frequently this involves planting your butt in the low/forward part of the seat, getting your inside foot as far forward as possible, and starting to get back on the gas to power through the turn.
