Cornering advice?
 

I will admit right from the word go that I have only had my sv650s for just over a month and I had a 125 before that...

But I am trying to lean my bike over a bit further but every time I reach a certain point I can feel the back end starting to slip. Am I doing something wrong? I am puzzled because I have not really got the bike leaning that far over so corners I should be able to take quickly like other bikers I can not as the back wheel starts to slip. Any advice?

What tyres? Suspension mods? Adjustments? How much you weigh? Tyre pressures? Etc.

Re: Cornering...
 

tyres and contrack I think. The mark has all but worn away. No suspension mods, front forks have been adjusted slightly but rear untouched, I am only 65-70kg with bike gear on, tyre pressures are 33front and 33ish on the bike (what the haynes manual says)

contrack?

Re: Cornering...
 

continental road attack on the rear.

Re: Cornering...
 

How many miles have your tyres done?

Has the rear squared off?

This may be causing the symtoms you're describing.

Re: Cornering...
 

Doesn't the manual say 36psi for the back?

EDIT:
Does this sound similar?

Re: Cornering...
 

tyre dose not look to have squared off any. Yes it is 36psi. Just checked tyre pressure and it is 35psi.

Edit:

Yeah that describes my bike more or less to the point apart from mine feels like its slipping even at lower speeds.

Re: Cornering...
 

Conti Road Attacks should be 36/42. 33/36 are for the stock tyres.

Re: Cornering...
 

could it possibly be the rear suspension is too hard? especially cos your not very heavy, might be worth checking the sag and all that?
