Lean 3X harder into the turn than any conventional bike. Even then, the Spider is a lot more work to ride aggressively than a conventional two wheeler. Just don't tell my wife, she thinks it is easy! :D

Lean into the turn, try to kiss the back of your hand....it works!

Try to relax a bit, and push on the handlebar instead of pull. It's easier, and helps to settle your butt in the seat. Also, use your feet.

It's a matter of time and miles. Rule of thumb...for those that have no or little ryding experiance it will take 300 to 500 miles to get the confidence and comfort to start pushing the twisties. It is also your comfort zone so take your time relax and enjoy the ryde and it will all become easy to you...:thumbup:

:welcome: and :congrats:

Like they said above:

:ani29:: Don't overcontrol. A light grip on the handlebars. Do not break the eggs between your hand and the grip.

:ani29:: Push/pull motion on the handlebars. To little is better than to much.

:ani29:: Plant the outside foot on the footpeg. Lean slightly into the turn. This dissipates the g forces.

:ani29:: Enter a curve at a speed that does not require applying the brake. You should be able to accelerate slightly during the turn.

Practice will make perfect. The learning curve for most is 300 - 500 miles.

I've found using your legs to press against the body of the bike to counter the centrifugal force works best around corners.
