This corner has my number

[2nat2]

I'm having a problem with a corner at my riding spot close to my house. The corner is a loop as you come out on the same trail you
go in on. It is very tight it just loops around a small bush and puts you back out going the other direction. The corner was made by
****s, so it has two rounded but deep ruts. It is also very sandy
I've tried squaring it with no luck, usaully I over shoot the corner
trying to rail the outside rut, by the way I ride KTM 200.
Suggestions anyone?

if it's sandy lay into the turn and get on the gas. it sounds like you're letting off the gas ans overshooting the turn. don't pin it, just apply some throttle. the deeper the sand, the more gas you need.

i agree with yardpro, just fan the clutch if your bike starts to bog, also you could feather the front brake, to help your bike pivot around the turn.

Thanks for the replies, It is frustrating because I overshoot the corner now
more than I did before..........but I will get it(with some help:) )

if it's loose and has a rut, the sand will catch you. just sort of throw the bike down into the corner. It you've ever ridder a jet ski, it's the same sort of thing, in the loose you really have to be under power to steer.
