Relax your Grip

Let her warm up before you take off

keep your Revs above 3300 to prevent clutch from slipping (except in 1st gear)

:congratsn your new ride. It took me about 500 miles to finally convince my brain that I wasn't about to go off the road in every curve, because my machine wasn't leaning! Once I got over that, it has been nothing but fun, ever since!

:welcome:to our (sometimes) dysfunctional, but happy family!

Like skiing

Welcome and congrats on the :spyder2:.

One of the members here is a ski instructor and posted the following technique for sprited corners;

Step on the outside foot peg ( faster = harder step) bend inside elbow to lower CG.

Finding the best apex deponds on your :spyder2:. I live on a curvey mountian road and this works.

Congrats,
