What is the steering? The process of tilting the machine into a curve. A motorcycle can only be steered at an angle.
Right curves: Push the handlebar to the right so that the motorcycle “falls” into the right curve.
Left-hand bends: Push left; pull at the other end of the handlebar at the same time.
Handlebar
Handlebar grips are only control devices, not supports. If I support myself firmly on the handlebars, there can be a loss of control.
Turning point
Turn point = Turn point
On the race track, you look for a marker for the curve entry point and always turn at this point if the curve passage fits well.
If steering corrections are necessary for the middle/at the end of the curve or if the throttle has to be closed and opened again in the curve, then the turning point has been too early.
Turning late
At the beginning of a curve, there are 2 possibilities: early/late steering.
Late turn-in Late turn in a curve is better, but driver fears prevent this >>> deliberately practice!
Advantages of late turning: You can see more of the curve before turning! This means better planning of the line, in the middle of the curve less inclination, so that you can accelerate earlier.
So: Slowly enter a bend, but drive out faster.
Suggested exercise: Turn in one bike length later!
Turning in early
Early steering is based on the old driving technique of the 30/40s: narrow tyres and poor suspension. So we had the goal: to drive as large a radius as possible.
But: You drive faster into the bend, but much slower out.
