[QUOTE="Broc599, post: 61802, member: 811"] Seems this is an old thread but thought I would put my two cents in.. I attended a motocross school a while back and it helped Huge with my cornering. I was told the most important thing about cornering is "lean angle" which is how far over from 90 degrees you can lean the bike. Also you want to have all your braking done BEFORE you enter the corner. That way you can focus on lean angle and getting back on the throttle. My instructor literally had me do figure 8's all day one day. He also added two more cones which where my brake markers. Also when you are entering the corners you want to do all your braking while standing. When you lean in the corner make sure the out side elbow is up. Sitting as close to the gas cap as possible and leg out in front of the front wheel. Also you are shadowing both levers with at least one finger. Once you are In the corner, you turn your head to see the exit and as you past the apex "center of corner" you apply throttle. I literally spent two days on cornering alone, that is where you can make up time or lose it. Hope I didn't confuse anybody. [/QUOTE]
