Message: [QUOTE="Fred T, post: 279363, member: 22413"] Bud, I understand exactly your position on this because I've been trying to achieve this on my KDX for a year! My problem was that if I was agressive in the corner and on the pegs the front felt nervous and unsecure so I ended up slowing a little and sitting on the tank through the corner. I knew that I could be faster if I could stay on the pegs because of better flow with the bike and a lower center of gravity vs weight on the seat. You probably have to sit for a moment on tight corners to compress the suspension and get the bike to stick and then launch out of the corner but on many corners I agree that standing through them will be fastest. I suppose that if you keep on the balls of your feet and slightly lift the foot off the inside peg you are just helping to weigh the outside pegs which should help cornering stability as long as you are leaning far enough into the sorner. IMHO I think for woods riding it is worth a shot because I'm going to be working on it now that I finally got my bike set up to where it will do this through the corners with out wallowing. I found my problem had to do with finding the right combination of sag, front fork spring size,fork dampenig and rebound combination. I think I'm real close now -just need a bit more testing. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
