[QUOTE="sharky243, post: 1352189, member: 100273"] First off, I will say that I'm no expert, but I have worked with some junior level riders to help them with this problem aswell. What I try to teach them to do is, select a gear that will alow you to keep your momentum without lugging the engine down and still be able to use the power band to come out of the corner. Next, be sure to be sitting in the saddle portion of the seat. Thats the lowest position of the seat. Enter the corner as hard as you feel comfortable (this will take lots of practice). Put your inside leg out for ballance. Push down on your outside peg with as much of your wieght as you can. (this will help the side knobbies of your tires bite) Then try to keep your back straight. Lean back a bit if you can. And lastly, motorcycles were designed to stear by leaning the bike into the corner. So don't be afraid to lean the bike. As I said, I'm no expert, but these steps seemed to have helped the kids I've worked with to maintain their speed in the corners. Something els that may help you is to spend sometime on a circle track, like a 1\4 mile used for dirt track racing. If noone is useing the track, ride the track in both directions. You'll get used to the back end sliding out and learn to controll it to your advantage. [/QUOTE]
