how to weight the pegs while cornering - Page 2 - SV650.org

Weight on the outside peg, and use the inside bar primarily to keep it on line, don't know why but seems to give the best feel and gets you on the road to hanging off if that's your bag (not necessary on the road). I can't believe there are people here saying they can't feel a difference by changing the way you use your weight. Don't forget you can move back and forth as well, e.g. plonk your **** back if you're planning on Jamie Whitham braking, then slide forwards so you can gas it like a lunatic without the front coming up in slow bends.

There's a lot to figure out, e.g. for me left- and right-handers feel different so I'm obviously doing something wrong which I need to figure out. You'll get your own style and feel comfortable in it, I have a mate who rides like a cartoon character for example!
