Hey bro found your original Video on the YT explore. The biggest reason why your rear wheel lost grip so abruptly was because of your tire choice. Getting slicks isn't the magic cure for this though. When it comes to tires it is very imprtant tho choose a tire that suits your needs and fits your abilities as a rider. My recommendation would be Pirelli Supercorsa SC SC2 medium's or Dunlop D213 GP Pro because a tire like the Pirelli Superbike Slick is way too sensitive for a hobby rider. You need a certain level of pace to even keep the temperature in the tire and not let it cool off too much. (You need tire warmers for all of these) Also from what I saw, you didnt trail brake deep into the corner to shorten the neutural phase where you hold the throttle steady to a minimum. You let it roll into the corner and then opened the throttle for a split second while increasing your lean angle further. Generally speaking: More lean + throttle = highsider / More lean + more brake pressure = lowsider Good luck on your next trackday and I hope you and the bike didnt take much damage :)
Hey man appreciate you taking the time to provide your observation. I agree with you on the tyre choice, not needing slicks at this point. Was researching on Dunlop Q4 as well but will look at your recommendations. About that turn I was getting really comfortable and looking to push every lap and opportunity open the throttle earlier each time but I was off line on this occasion so having to lean more which didn't help as I was getting on the throttle early. It's a good learning experience and it's all about pushing really. Will wait for onsurqnce about the repair and try diff set of tyres and will post more videos.
Nah man its not the tyres that put the bike down. You mention opening the throttle too early at maximum lean, fundamentals of riding physics this is right and its great you've identified this. It's 1 of 2 potential reasons you highsided. If you are at 95points of lean you can only add 5points of throttle, but if you only have a 20point throttle hand you exceed 100points of grip. Put simply, you can't ADD throttle without DECREASING lean angle, and the amount of throttle is determined by lean angle i.e 100point lean = 0 throttle, 70points of lean = 30points of throttle. This is explained amazingly here by YCRS ruclips.net/video/Fy1AIAc76Qo/видео.html. Another thing I noticed immediately is you are again throttling early at 25sec into the vid, you need to be decreasing lean angle before throttling (think of lean angle and brakes as a seesaw, 0 lean 100% throttle, full lean, no throttle) this bit you in the ass at the end of the day. People who don't understand this fundamental principle eventually get to a point of confidence where they use more throttle and eventually one day they add too much and go down. The fastest riders in the world have the slowest hands, they don't throttle out of every corner more abruptly then us, they brake lighter longer, and accelerate earlier lighter. Yeah slicks give you a bit of grip, but put a pro rider on your bike and guess what his fundamental understanding of riding makes him run faster lap times than any of us, not the tyres. Follow the 100points of grip video and you'll be faster, safer. :)
