can't drag my knee!!!

almost everyone keys on touching their knees at first. after you do it, it is a non event. once you get by dragging the knee... the smoother, faster, and the better your body position becomes, the more times you will "touch"... it is just natural.

in my humble opinion, stop worrying about dragging the knee, spend time on body position, lines, and the speed will come. the faster you go, the easier it is to have the knee on the deck more.

How fast wete you guys right there?
I am not worry about dragging my knee at all I was just curious about it. I have other things to worry about and since there is so much going on during a session I pay attention to other aspects. I'm still a novice but I got my lines figured out and adequate body positioning. I'm working now on braking a bit later or at least to be able to carry out more corner speed.
I probly spenspent a bit extra on tires but I do not regret it at all cause they work amazing.

 

Deal!!! ...if you come to BHF I'll give them to you

 

Stop worrying about dragging your knee. When your body position is correct, it allows you to use LESS lean angle for a given speed through a turn. As your skill and comfort level increase, so will your corner speed, and your required lean angle.

My advice: Get with a coach and work on the fundamental skills of body position (even if you think it's correct), throttle/brake application, and race lines.

I will talked to one and I'll go from there!

 

The numbers I used are crank HP. Comparing one bike to another it doesnt really matter as long as u use the value from the same spot.
But this pointless, I'm sorry I brought it up in the first place since it had nothing to do with the original question.
Enjoy whatever tire makes u happy!

I thought only squids measured HP at the crank? no wheel horsepower, no care.

+1 for handling

 

I raced for 6 years and won 7 championships on the knee pucks that came with the suit dragging stuff just slows you down.

Try turn 3 at Grattan CW put the puck in the sealer. It can get quite sticky. I had it grab me and upset the entire bike. Fortunately I am slow so it did not take me down. Just needed new underwear.

The comment was in jest... Don't put that much analyzing into riding. You're just going for a ride with your friends when you hit the track.

 

Nice!!!!

Went the whole first weekend on the R6 without dragging knee. I don't think it was really holding me back like I expected to but its different than riding a GSXR where you can drag in any corner at any time.

When I first started dragging knee on the GSXR I dropped a ton of time. Knowing how much lean I needed to get my knee down gave me so much confidence that it was day and night. Hopefully once I touch on the R6 I get the same kind of confidence boost?

 

I went to BHF and I dragging my knee over the big sweeper but only when I was going fast. My R6 is tall sp o guess to be able to dragg my pucks I gotta lean a whole lot including the bike.
