Not really. Countersteering by pressing on the bars in this situation doesn't really make sense, since the bars are at full lock when you are going around the circle. E.g., for a clockwise turn, the bars are turned all the way to the right steering stop. Countersteering, as in press right to turn right, would take the bars out of full lock, so that's not going to work. In a wider turn, however, you could countersteer by pressing on the bars with or without counterbalancing by shifting your body. Some riders do that more than others, depending on their style. Be careful not to push the bike down beneath you too much and lose grip. Cheers!

@@WillfulThinker Ok, but if the bike start to go out of the circle track because of the speed, this could be moderate by using rear break and countersteering? Thanks

Yeah, it's an inexpensive infrared lap timer that you can get on eBay. They cost about $60 and come with one receiver and one transmitter (or "beacon"). I bought an additional beacon, and sometimes I would mount the display/receiver unit on my bike, with the receiver part pointing down and off to one side. When I would take off from the start gate, the receiver would pass one of the beacon's beams on the ground, thereby starting the timer. When I would reach the stop gate, the receiver would pass the other beacon on the ground, thereby marking the lap, which would be the stop time of that run through the course. Then I would reset the timer to zero and go again. I was using the lap timer simply as a stopwatch.

Hmm, if I remember correctly, about 8-10 mph inside the circle.

First gear. I had the idle turned up about 300 rpm above the stock setting to make the full-lock turn smoother without use of the clutch. Ride safe!

Try to lean when you slowing..

Whether or not to use the clutch depends on the bike, the RPMs at idle, and whether you are trying to go slow or fast in a full-lock turn. If the goal is to go as slow as possible, then by all means feather the clutch. Since the goal in gymkhana is to go as fast as possible, a lot of riders raise the bike's idle RPMs to eliminate the need to feather the clutch, as with the RPMs up, there is no fear of the bike dying mid-turn. The context of this video is racing against the clock, as opposed to taking the DMV test where the goal is to keep the speed down and show control. Your advice applies in the latter, not the former. My advice applies in the former, not the latter. Your advice is correct in a different scenario than the one presented in the video. In my gymkhana clinics for beginners riding normal bikes, I would tell each rider that they may need to feather the clutch if the motor is bogging.

@@WillfulThinker I'm not going to argue with you about this s*** believe whatever you want dude I don't give a f*** just don't be posting s*** on here especially about safety motorcycle safety when you don't understand what you are saying , of course there's a time to use your clutch and a time not to use your clutch that goes without saying there's a lot of kids that want to get on bikes and start riding they RUclips for information make sure you're giving out the right information . You should know for yourself take a course talk to a professional listen to people on RUclips will get you ran under a truck.

Thanks for the comment. Aftermarket clipons with risers, about 1" or 2" higher than stock. Can't remember exactly.

The cones don’t exist??? I can see them clearly! One red and one blue.

@@Keyser_Soze739 they dont exist for me, I dont focus them when I do the exercise

@@nightwishcoca 😉

Nothing wrong with using the rear brake when doing this. Helps to keep the bike stable.

First gear all the way.

Thanks a lot. Work in progress. I actually gave up riding completely, earlier this year. Now I can't remember the minimum speed I had to go to make that inner circle. Maybe 8 mph, but it's going to vary based on the bike anyway. I did not use clutch at all. Just throttle and rear brake. On some bikes, feathering the clutch will be necessary at stock idle. It wasn't necessary on that GSXR, but I did have my idle turned up about 300 rpm above the stock setting to make those maneuvers smoother. Ride safe!

From my experience on a R3, 7-8 mph minimum.

While you're doing that might as well put your knee down too aye.
