: Pulling on throttle in right handers

Anyone face this issue too?

Left corners works fine, zero steering input, just holding on and throttling out.

I just have a tendency to pull on the throttle for right hand corners.

Any advise?

um, dont pull on the throttle.. try moving ur hand position so that in a right corner ur wrist is sorta 'neutral' and not stressed one way or the other if that makes sense.. and zero bar input? doupt it..

What I meant was there is not pressure or weight on the bar once I am done with the steering input into a left hander.

I was just hanging on comfortably on the lefties..but couldn't do the same for the right..

ahhh lol.. yeah im the same, from what ive heard its dependent on the rider.. my mate was oppiste.. he could do r/h corners, but not left.. its just something u have to practice, and try going a little slower so u can think about what ur doing while in the corner.. i did that and improved a bunch.. just practice.. im better at r/h now that ive done them alot more, and slower so i could REALLY think about what im doing..

Sounds like you need to improve your body positioning in general. Read "A Twist of the Wrist" part 1 and 2 by Keith Code :thumbup

Got to agree. Too tight on the bars. Twist of the Wrist 2 calls a good positioning "pivot steering", and it works. They teach it at CSS. Worth the money to take a class if you plan to get on a track sometime.
