hold at least 2000 rpm and slip the clutch
What randyo said.slight drag on rear brake, slip clutch, rev engine slightly up
Great vid, GW, thanks.Here's a video. Watch the rider's head and notice the brake light is just about always on. Also, the engine noise is always up, not chugging.
You can do it in less and four lane widths?! Now I have a challenge! :green_lol:.... I want to make U-turns in less than 4 lane widths ...
Yeah, if I duck-walk it. :biggrinjester:You can do it in less and four lane widths?!
Nope.Besides more practice, is there a trick that will help?
I think you nailed it right there, I still have some apprehension turning the heavier V-Strom. I knew there had to be more to it than what was in the MSF class when it started lugging around around the turn. I'll practice the clutch-slip/braking like everyone mentioned, and I like the comment about "locking" the throttle with my thumb against the fixed portion next to the grip.The main thing is to make yourself turn the bike. You don't want to, and that is what's stopping you. Tell yourself to turn the bike, then do it! Use all the good tips in the postings above (the head turn is essential), and gradually get slower and tighter.
