Tips for Improving Cornering and Low-Speed Control in Motorbike Training

fiwibib · 01-10-2025, 07:54 AM

Hey everyone,

I’ve recently started motorbike training and have a couple of questions. I’m currently working on improving my cornering and balance, but I struggle to get the right lean and control through tighter turns.

I’m also having a hard time with clutch control during low-speed maneuvers. Any tips on how to build better confidence and smoothness in these areas? I’ve read a lot about the importance of body positioning, but I’d love some more specific advice for a beginner.

Looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences.

A little late but try pulsing the clutch if you are unsure of it and keeping throttle about 1k above normal idle.

From there learn to counter lean and always look where you want to go. If you are unsure do it in a completely empty parking lot to ensure no mistakes cause damage to you or others.

Looking it the simplest method, you look where you want to go your body makes it happen, when you over think it, you tend to overshoot or undershoot every turn.
