I can corner this thing a lot faster than it will let me?

First... I am in love with this thing!! I have been riding for many years and always on two wheelers and I have not had this much fun in years I don't miss the harley for even a second.\
With that being said I am sure this is an old problem for you spyder vets but when I really try to corner it hard or even a little aggressive it will not let me apply power same goes for acceleration out of a corner. I am aware of the stability control but is there a way to "tune" it down or bypass it?

Thanks for your time

new Spyder lover!

Sorry... Nanny is there to keep us from having too much fun... and then getting bit on the butt for it! :shocked:
If you try keeping a bit more of your weight to the inside, and keep it there a bit longer as you apply power, you might be able to get away with a little more adrenaline surge before she wakes up and comes looking for you...

The smoother you ride, the less Nanny notices, body english works.

Chin over knuckles on an rt may be a bit of an exaggeration. For an RS it may be appropriate though.

You need to straighten the bars a bit more before you hit full throttle. You'll learn to smooth out the corners and get faster...just a different technique needed to keep from waking Miss Nanny.
