Lean that thing son! Okay, now I know there is a thread for posting pics but that is of just about every kind of bike. Post pics of you on your N1K in full lean. How low can you go (and get pictures of it.)

From what I understand you want the maximum....
I'm now working on trying to lean the bike less and the rider a little more.
Down from time to time - I know I didn't lean the bike that far though because I never touched smart.

When leaning into a corner pre-apex, should I be throttling up, have a static throttle, or throttle off?
When do I start bringing on the gas? Mid corner, as I hit the apex, or when I start bringing the bike up?

Bringing the bike up? Before you lean it in, set the speed to something that is comfortable for you you are in the lean sets the bike and gives it a nice stable feeling.

The whole reason Kenny Roberts start putting furniture....
When increasing lean angle of riders out there that lean off the bike but don't put a knee down.
Which moves the weight closer to the bike, moves the center of gravity.

Now this is a lean angle! Plus you can race cars at the same time (and they're leaning too) -- WoooHooo! and collect a few bucks on the outside line!

It's been a long time since 1st year engineering physics. I wanted to really understand countersteering. Naturally, I went to Wikipedia and found a great graphic. I hope it displays or at least lets you click on it.

To a point they are right, you can make a bike lean without DIRECT countersteering input.
Some people claim they can make the bike lean without countersteering.

By this I mean, do you find it more fun or easier to lean left or right on your RR?
I found out throughout my years of riding, I lean much easier and further as well going right, instead of left, I am not quite sure why.
What about you guys?

But i think it has more to due with the throttle being on the right I find it a lot more... .
Right handed as well..

Left easier to lean left.
Not sure if that has any bearing on it though .

I prefer to lean left.

On my 1300 mile trip home with my newly acquired 05 950 I noticed that the header pipe was staring to turn blue. Now that I am home it has a nice blueish tint to it.
I think I remember this is an indication of a lean running bike?!
I was cruising between...

I understand that raising exhaust added, is that correct....
Seems to me most Dynojet kits jet your bike for about 2 miles below sea level.
Would be full lean.

This is obviously assuming warm tyres, dry weather, reasonably warm and decent surface.
I ask because I'm going back to sports bikes. In the past I've never really known how far over I am because I've never used knee sliders but this time I will be so...
