Thanks for all the advise.

I think I will only turn left from now until I get some more training. :)

Thanks

I have to admit that I do not like getting into situations where I am having to apply full left or right lock with feet on the pegs. Can't seem to sense where the centre of gravity.. :confused: No feel. I've gone through two front brake levers, one clutch lever, rear brake lever and a mirror owing to 'fallovers' bloody embarrassing at the time. Now I use the 'sod how it looks, I'll get me feet down' on full lock turns. :-(

I've not got much time for those R&Gs, they're not very effective IMO. OK, I sound like a broken record but I tested them, they were too bendy and that reduces their effectiveness. I've crashed on other, cheaper bungs harder and they've worked better (motosliders, and the older R&Gs) The R&G replacement parts aren't cheap either :( GSG Moko, Motosliders, Motovation and the old JHS bungs are all better IMO, and most of those are cheaper too.

Crash bungs can't save everything... But they can help a lot. I jumped off mine at Knockhill at about 60, 70mph and the bike slid for miles, all it broke was a front lever (when it hit the gravel), ground the rear one down a bit, and took out the rear pillion peg- I rode the bike home. You can pretty well disable an SV just by dropping it at a standstill but crashbungs make that unlikely, too- which is handy if you drop it in a service station in a different country, like I did! One scraped mirror, instead of broken levers.
