    Josh, loved watching you at Road America earlier this month. What a great weekend even with the sketchy weather on Saturday. I'd love to see a video on how you pick and memorize your brake points, apexes, and corner exits, along with gear choice in each corner. I'm sure when you do it every day, it becomes second nature, but as a primarily street rider who's starting to do track days this summer, building the mental frame of mind to deliberately choose those points is decidedly further down the priority list than watching for gravel, deer, oncoming tractors, texting drivers, etc. When I'm way out in the country and can let my guard down a bit, I try to practice that, but unless you go ride the same stretch of road over and over again (not popular with the people living along that stretch), it's difficult to build the visual/muscle memory when each new corner presents it's own set of variables.

    • @joshherrin

      Neof1gt thank you for the support. I do use the rear brake. I use it while braking straight up and down, while trailing into the corner and especially when I am trying to get the bike to finish the corner. I do not use it to keep the front wheel down, that’s all in the wrist and body position.

    regarding the downshifting while braking, it is possible to downshit when not having quickshifter in one action lets say : release throttle, start brake, pull clutch, drop from 6>3 without releasing the clutch and adding between gas with each downshift?

    Why is abs good on the street? because the street has oil, coolant, sand from the shoulder or gravel trucks, coffee, nails, trucker bombs and other invisible fod. I have abs fingers but abs sensors are pretty fast and will keep the rubber down if they can. If your trail braking and you roll over something slick like a tar boil it's got a good chance of saving your skin.

    Good stuff! Those mini bikes look rad...like some sort of high-performance grom. I'd be interested in a video or series talking about how you approach learning a new track or tough corners. Do you take physical notes on markers? Everything just from memory and seat time? How about your thought progression on going to a track that you haven't been to in a while? It's great hearing the inside scoop on these sorts of things!

    About the downshifting, is that with or without slipperclutch? cause I see the guys with the slippers downshift really fast and early without problems cause the rear wheel doesnt lock. I downshift as fast as possible too, without releasing the clutch, but it seems to take longer the old way.
    I have to release the clutch slowly, but quite late cause otherwise the speed is too low too soon.
    This makes corner entry less easy cause the bike settles quite late.

      @joshherrin  5 лет назад +1

      lillnemo1 maybe more sometimes. That is with a slipper clutch. If you do not have a slipper clutch you just need to let the clutch out slowly for a smooth entry to the corner. I never make all of my downshifts in the same clutch pull. I grab and release the clutch in between each downshift.

      Middle and ring is the strongest and healthiest two finger combination, because the tendons work in a straight line, while being far right so acting as a bigger lever. If you get used to it you have more power and more precision with same effort. I am a classic first two fingers tho.

      Dédé LABINOUZE I honestly struggled with this a lot before our race bikes had auto blippers. The best advise I can give you is to run your brake lever a little closer to your handlebar if you have an adjustable brake lever. This will help you be able to blip the throttle while still holding the brake. Hopefully that helps you a little. 👍🏼

      you mean on a street/sportsbike? ever so slightly use the rear brake just before you lean into corner and trailbrake it off (sorry, not native english)... mind you, only a VERY small % of riders uses rear brake and of them quite a lot remove a part of brake pad material, so chance of locking up is smaller. Rear brake lock is last you want in a corner
      if you have a slipperclutch, just bang down through the gears fast enough and enter corner fast enough, the slipperclutch does the rest.
      hope thats the answer you re looking for?

      My guess is that he's getting more time riding at the limit of traction, on asphalt, with rubber tires, but with less risk. On the Ovale, I think he can get an experience that is similar to riding a race bike, except he can push the front and crash without worrying too much that he'll get hurt. Also, since the bike is so small, he can work on sliding the rear without worrying about getting thrown off in a massive high side like on a liter-bike. Crashing is also not so bad for the bike since it's so small and light.

    Hi Josh,
    Thank you for the awesome material. I have a question for you.
    When you are at the end of a long straightway, you shift your body, half butt, to lean, and dip down and drag your knee. While applying the brakes and shifting down the gears, you feel your rear wheel trying to pass forward your front wheel. Is it the moment that you grab the clutch and hit the friction zone to avoid it?

  • @krillonusa

    Any tips on the basic form of throttle control and countersteering? IE for street riding... staying in your lane without going too wide or hitting the apex too early or knowing street lines?

    • @lillnemo1
      @lillnemo1 5 лет назад

      both 2 first questions, shame on you if you really have to ask.
      Throttle control? dont ever get OFF the gas in a corner, start giving throttle ONLY if you can keep it open.
      Starting throttle is ALWAYS gentle, never jerk the gas open. If you have a jerky bike, start opening the throttle just that eeniewieny tiny bit earlier, so your bike settles a bit before you realy start giving gas. Sometimes this means even before the corner or apex.
      Countersteering is something natural.
      99.9999999% of time you dont even realize you push the bar.
      You lean the bike by hanging off a bit (which causes the bike to countersteer by itself) and "push" the wrong side of the bar. For left corner "push" right bar forward.
      While riding, you dont use more than 15degrees steering angle on the tightest corner... Thats how little steering input you need!!! more angle is only for parking, manouvering..
      You dont keep pushing the steering, just initiate the corner....
      street riding? if you go wide after the corner, you were inside too much before it.
      It's always the same thing, be it on track or street; outside, inside, outside.
      So if you live where people drive on the right side of the road and you take a right corner: keep as far left as possible on YOUR lane, "steer in as late as possible", go as far right as possible in the corner AKA hitting the APEX of the corner, then you have max width available to get out of corner.
      street lines??? just see YOUR LANE as the width of the track... then use what s said earlier: out in out
      hitting the apex too early? something you need to learn yourself. if you hit it early, you run wide or have to brake extra or have to close throttle... if so, learn from it and do different next time
      different corners = different apex different weather = different "apex" different bike = different lines aka different apex
      hope that's what you wanted to know?

    • @papo140
      @papo140 5 лет назад

      @@lillnemo1 you can roll off the gas mid corner. Obviously not abruptly. But if you roll off gently and incrementally you can. Thats how you adjust line mid corner. Shame on you for giving stupid ass advice that can get someone hurt.
      and better advice would be. Excluding double apexes(really long turns) that require neutral or maintenance throttle (steady throttle to keep you on your line) you can get back on the gas. but dont open up until you can see your exit and gradually take away lean.
      Again rolling on and off gas is how you adjust your line. more gas = run wide less gas = tighten line. So if you took a corner too fast and find yourself running wide in a corner. look where you need to go and gradually roll off the fucking gas. You can even lightly lightly lightly use the brake. But please remember smoothness is the critical aspect to all of this.

    Love the vids like these, but I still wonder why a lot of racers dont seem to rev match when down shifting? Maybe they have slipper clutches so it isnt neccesary... I've never ridden a bike with a slipper so i always rev match. I've always wondered why racers dont seem to

  • @michaelwatkins8871
    @michaelwatkins8871 2 года назад

    I am a little confused about the dynamic of quickly down shifting as soon as the braking starts. I am thinking of RPM's and the rear if done quickly at 160+ mph. How quick is this? Is it done late with hard breaking so that the bike slows down quick enough so you 're not in too low of a gear for the speed?

    You didn't answer my question but you also did on how to downshift while braking..
    I ain't got a quickshifter and when I downshift without rev matching my rear tyre will lose traction.
    Am I downshifting and rev matching wrong or do you need a quickshifter to be able to downshift like you said without losing the rear (like you said in the wet but for me it's dry)
