Now This is Cornering - Ready to Try?
Mastering cornering on a motorcycle is essential for both safety and enjoyment. Let’s explore some key techniques to help you handle sharp corners confidently:
Look Where You Want to Go: Keep your eyes focused on the road ahead, not down at the ground. Look through the corner toward the exit point. Your bike tends to follow your gaze, so choose your line wisely12.
Body Positioning: Leaning forward slightly with relaxed, bent arms is effective for cornering. Keep your elbows low and in line with the handlebars. Avoid leaning on the handlebars; instead, grip the tank with your legs. Tilt your head up to maintain good visibility1.
Counter Steering: Push the handlebar on the side you want to turn toward. For example, to steer right, gently push forward on the right handlebar. This technique initiates the bike’s turn into the corner1.
Smooth Braking and Throttle Control: Gradually apply brakes before the corner, and release them as you exit. Smooth throttle control helps maintain stability. Remember the “slow in, fast out” approach2.
Choose the Right Line: Divide the corner into entry, apex, and exit. Enter wide, hit the brakes, and position yourself for a clear view of the road. Aim for a smooth line that allows you to accelerate out of the corner13.
Stay Relaxed: Tension affects your control. Keep your grip light on the handlebars, and maintain a calm posture. Relax your upper body and focus on fluid movements1. Remember, practice makes perfect! Find a quiet road with bends to hone your cornering skills. 🏍️✨123

Dirty Carb Fix One Dealer Got -Others Could Not Fix
If your motorcycle is experiencing carburetor issues, there are several common symptoms to look out for:
Running Lean: A lean-running motorcycle has too much air and not enough fuel in the air/fuel mixture. Signs include sluggish performance, excessively hot exhaust pipes (which may turn blue), and faster-than-normal spark plug wear. Clogged jets inside the carburetor are often the cause. Adjusting the idle screw can help1.
Running Rich: The opposite of running lean, a rich-running motorcycle has too much fuel in the mixture. You’ll notice a strong fuel smell, potential fuel leaks, and overall poor performance. Fixing this involves adjusting the air/fuel screw, addressing stuck needles, floats, or butterfly valves1.
Backfiring: Unintentional backfiring can occur due to either too much or too little fuel being delivered by the carburetor. This isn’t normal behavior for a motorcycle. Investigate the fuel delivery to resolve this issue1.
If your motorcycle won’t start, a dirty carburetor could be the culprit. Consider cleaning it without removing it by following these steps:
Remove the bowls at the bottom of the carburetor.
Spray carburetor cleaner inside, wait a few minutes, then spray again for thorough coverage. Replace the bowls and start the motorcycle to assess its performance2. Remember that regular maintenance and cleaning can help keep your motorcycle’s carburetor in good shape!
