More leaning practice on my Ninja 400

- Found some nice curves to practice my leaning. Zombie Ninja is basically scraping the road at this point. No more chicken strips! bok bok
New GoPro chin mount position too... pointing more upward instead of down :)

Try to see yourself in your rear view mirror. Try to kiss your mirror. Imagine your head is a bowling ball on a broomstick. The higher away from the bike your head is the lower on the broomstick your holding, and the center of gravity is off and that bowling ball has leverage to hit the ground. Hold the broomstick inches below the ball and you are near its center of gravity and is easily controllable. Excellent job brother, don’t take this is criticism, just advice with a grain of salt. Keep it up!!
Thanks for the advice! I will use the mirror trick
Have you test driven any bigger bikes like a 1000 cc
Such a dumb question, i think he drives a 400 for a reason and if he is switching in the future its definitely not bigger than a liter so why would he?
@@Kinda... so it’s dumb to ask people if they have driven bigger bikes… what. Are you his handler why do you assume he isn’t going to try bigger one
I have tried liter bikes and honestly I like the 400-600cc range better. More fun in the corners and easier to control. I often pass 1000cc bikes thru tight corners on twisty mountain roads, so I'm good for now. I can set my ego aside on straight roads. Maybe one day I'll get a powerful supermoto or adventure bike
@@ninjabubble Yeah I noticed the bigger bikes have less range especially if you’re going fast all the time, but they really pull you
You don't "learn to lean". You need to make the mental connection that pushing and pulling on the bars initiates, modulates and maintains lean angle, NOT body movement or leaning.
You'll never quickly snap into a corner or avoid an accident until you make that connection and learn to crank on the bars.
Countersteer to initiate a corner- essentially crank the bars LEFT to roll RIGHT, and as you enter the lean and the corner the bars will return to center and then sweep into POSITIVE STEERING and steering head angle. I.e. Turning RIGHT to corner RIGHT.
Motorcycles do this naturally and automatically at anything above parking lot speed.
Learn to control the bike with the handle bars. Initiate by turning left to roll right and once at the desired lean angle, crank the bars back bast center and into positive rake, right steering.
And for God's sake, learn how to brake HARD with the FRONT brake ONLY.
The rear brakes offer little braking under very hard braking conditions. The rear can tend to help stabilize the bike but 90% to 100% of your braking will come from the front brakes.
Learn to steer and brake.
And watch out for LEFT TURNING VEHICLES! Whether coming head on or turning out of a side street from either side, is THE biggest danger to motorcyclists.
Never take a turning vehicle for granted.
How to lean like motogp ?
@everythingchanged-fe6jv - learn to crank on the bars to turn. Once proficient with cornering and braking, then you can learn aggressive cornering at high lean angles.
And btw, we DONT just take a street machine into the twisties and go at it. You'll end up on your head.
Bikes come set up for STREET RIDING and often 2-up. They have to be able to handle a wide variety of conditions and often with a passenger. They'll typically have 40+ PSI in each tire which is too high for aggressive riding.
Consult YOUR tire manufacturer but MOST tires require about 31/32 PSI front and 29/30 PSI rear ALONG WITH PROPER SUSPENSION TUNING, CHAIN ADJUSTMENT AND ELECTRONIC SETTINGS/TRACTION and STABILITY CONTROL SETTINGS and CLEAN, DRY, WELL MAINTAINED ROAD SURFACES.
Once PROPERLY SET UP, then you can corner like you see on TV.
That also requires proper body positioning, with a forward lean, your hips off to the inside of the corner and your head above your hips.
It requires EXPERIENCE. LOTS of it. And public roads are NOT the place to learn.
Take a Superbike riding course. Go to as many track days as possible or join WERA, CCS, NASBA or your local riding club and learn from experienced, pro riders.
Trying to emulate Rossi on the streets before you're ready will get you unalived very quick.
Take it to the track. Creep up to the limits and beyond and NEVER, EVER ride over your head. On the track or on the street!
You think I don't know the basics? I would have died already going these speeds if I don't know about counter steering. Please
@@ninjabubble - are you the numbnut that asked?
And rides a 400?
Please....
Go on a track. There is more room to learn and people to learn from.
I would if I could afford it... the street is my track for now
bro ur leaning max 25 degrees lol, there still must be huge strips on ur tire
Bro the title is practicing leaning
Stfu with this bro shit
@@gunnergarcia9871 You can practice and not suck, my expectations were too high sorry
How to lean like motogp?
@@everythingchanged-fe6jv turn handlebars, be gentle on inputs, have good tire
