    4: This... Point and shoot. I have a LOT of riding in the rain experience living in North England, and being a bit of a noodle, I probably go faster than I should. Whilst not really applied to racing, with modern street bikes with modern ABS you sure as heck can brake just as hard as you can in the dry, provided you're smooth and progressive, it's an absolute doddle to get a little rear wheel lift with some control, however if you don't let off in the turn that's when things will quickly get upset. really, you wanna keep on the brakes a little longer then usual, let them off a whole lot more, point the bike, and back on the throttle. Game changer if you wanna be quick in the rain, as most people thing brakes are sacrilege in the rain and that you need to be smooth and "flowy to have grip" which isn't unsafe, but sure as hell a lot slower with not much gain if, anything in control.

That 11th *Gold*. 17th The famous "Just trust the bike" but it's so hard brake the fears sometimes. About suspension setup, Luckly i came from an MTB enduro racing background. There, manage your suspension it's fundamental then, u learn to understand how preload, rebound and compression works.

      Downhill is right because when you get from an even corner to the exit that goes downhill slighly it feels like your rear tire is slipping infront of you/away from under you thus wheelieing if that makes sense

    • @YouTenaza
      @YouTenaza Рік тому

      I thought the same. Uphill a sudden increase in power can obviously wheelie. But a sudden downhill while you're already accelerating can also change the balance towards the rear.

      I mean downhill. If you know Thunderhill raceway in Northern California, T5 is a perfect example of where you wheelie into the transition into the downhill section.
      Generally in any section where you are accelerating into a downhill section the bike will wheelie.

    • @MikeonBikes
      @MikeonBikes  Рік тому

      You always release throttle entirely when braking. Take a course on track instead of watching UA-cam videos if you are are out riding on the street. The skills I’m talking about in this video are described from a track racing context.
      This was made obvious throughout the entire video.

    @clayboldwin3911 Рік тому

    Hello! Thanks a lot for your videos! Supermoto contet is awesome. I have a question about sag. You told that sag needs to be 1/3 of total travel. My husqvarna FS 450 has 285 mm fork travel. And sag supposed to be 85.5 mm.
    But internet says about 40 mm for sag in front.
    Also in your slow mo video ( when you sit on bike 15:56) shock compresses visibly. And fork barely compresses. But it should compress even more than shock.
    Where am I wrong?

    • @MikeonBikes
      @MikeonBikes  Рік тому +1

      - The design of the AER forks do not allow to set the sag, the FS 450 manual even states "For various reasons, no exact riding sag can be determined for the fork."
      Likely too much stiction when standing still.
      Specifically for Supermoto I would recommend setting the fork spring rates by using a zip tie and seeing how much travel you have left.
      Generally I setup the front forks to have only a few mm of space left before bottoming out when there is a dirt section.
      If it is only asphalt I usually have closer to 50-60 mm of travel left.
      Also, when you are setting up your AER forks, remember to bleed them on both sides, after every riding session. Most riders I meet never bleed them.

    Hey Mike love your videos man 🤩🤩
    I am planning to purchace a bike but i am confused if to buy a supermoto like 450smr or pocket bike like ohvale 190cc 😅
    I dont have issue with price of either of them they cost almost the same at my place
    The things i am focused are
    1. Cost of maintenance over a year
    2. I only want to drive on go kart tracks and no dirt tracks and will be going monthly 1 weekend
    3. Which is better in corners like which one can go faster in corners or lets say which is faster around a given track and fun to drive
    4. Which one is more safe(relatively) to drive as in if you crach the chances of you breaking bones is less on a go kart track
    Can you please recommend which is better for me based on the things i wrote above 😅

    • @shadowmancy9183
      @shadowmancy9183 Рік тому +1

      If I may suggest a third option- Scram 411. Cheap bike, low maintenance cost. It isn't super fast, so any improvement in your riding skills will be more readily apparent lap to lap. I wouldn't expect to win any races on it, but for a cheap toy to throw around once a month and not care about cost of maintenance/repairs, I'd say it's worth looking at.
      Cornering is more about rider skill than the bike- YammieNoob tracked an RE Interceptor and was just about keeping up with a friend who was on a much faster bike because of his cornering ability.
      If you like the supersport posture, the Ohvale will suit that. However, a review from Cycle World said it was "a lot less cramped than expected for 5' 7" ", so your comfort may vary.
      I broke my ankle at 10mph, so there's no "safe" speed to crash at. If the track has runoff, then you'll always have the choice to run off and come back on, but if not, I really don't know if there's a "safer" bike for being within tire barriers. I'd almost expect the bike to come up and simultaneously pin and high side you.

    How come every time they speed about only adding throttle after you are no longer leaning. You can see them adding throttle while still leaning 6:30 What i see is release throttle, lean, get half way thru is, add throttle while still leaning and coming out of it, slowly getting to right up position.

    Mate if you decrease tyres pressure the tyre goes colder due the contact patch that is wider the opposite for warmer

    • @MikeonBikes
      @MikeonBikes  Рік тому +5

      You have it a bit backwards.
      Reducing tire pressure, and thus increasing the size of the contact patch, will increase the tire temperature mainly due to the internal friction of the tire.
      If you run out on really overinflated tires (way too high pressures), you may get cold tears, which are essentially super over-heated areas of the tire. This will make the tire super hot in that specific area.
      This is why it is important to be able to read cold tears & overheating. Since if you put your hand on a cold tear right after coming back from a session, not understanding that it is a cold tear, you may think the tire is overheating, when it is in fact overinflated.
      Assuming you are not over or under-inflating the tires, less pressure = more heat, more pressure = less heat.
