[QUOTE="BillyWho, post: 49656, member: 22397"] If your having trouble judging speed,the best thing would be instead of or along with fixing the berm, smooth out or go outside of the braking bumps in the last 10-15 feet before the corner.This will help you set up for the corner by letting you focus on the transition from braking to cornering body positioning.It also sounds like the corner is an off camber if it's on a hill,which makes it critical to keep as much pressure on the outside footpeg as possible during the entire turn.Just try it,you'll be amazed at how well the bike steers and hooks up without wanting to highside!After you have the corner and entrace speed down,move back over in to the braking bumps and build back up to the speed you were going without them.If you smoothed them out,they'll be back soon enough,but it will be too late cuz you will already have it mastered!One more note is off camber turns are very hard to master and you treat them the same as flat corners with no berm which is pressure on the outside peg and a gear higher than normal and slipping the clutch to control power.Practice Makes Perfect!
