Saxxy, where do you sit on the seat of the bike? It's hard to tell in the pictures, but by the shapes and angles your legs are making it looks like you're ass is toward the back of the seat. You want to get your nuts right up on that tank. That'll keep your weight from being supported on the rear. That way if it spins your weight isn't pushing the tire to the outside causing you to slide out. The weight being on the rear will also overload the rear wheel and break traction. By getting your weight more forward you can drive out of the corners much harder and keep the front wheel down. Very important that you're not inputting the bars though as that'll cause you to loose the front or tank slap. In this picture look at the lead two and the shapes their legs are making. The guy with the pink i think is lorenzo, he gets around pretty good.

i sit nuts against the tank, but when i get off the bike I go more to the side, then piveting around the tank, which i know I should be doing instead.Originally posted by hessogood
