[QUOTE="Canning, post: 91415, member: 3134"] Hi Bill, it’s pretty easy. You just keep leaning it harder until you touch! Seriously, it’s actually very helpful on the track to have three points on contact. This is especially with picking up the bike as those skinny Avon’s do slide about. I did have a lot of front end slide during practice until the suspension settings were improved, and did pick up the front twice as it tucked under on slow speed corners. Without knee on track I would have crashed. In the end the front tucking under was fixed by increasing the rear spring preload, backing off the front rebound damping and positioning my upper body lower and further forward to put more weight on the front. Like magic the front transformed and tracked well with both front and rear sliding pretty evenly when pushing too hard, but in the main I felt confident in the front. [/QUOTE]
