TBH on my gixxer I rarely need to drop the bike down further with a conscious push from the bars, as it turns so easily anyway. The only time I've found the need to do so is for fast changes of direction on track. I should imagine your bike would behave in a similar way, unless the suspension's been adjusted.
Incidently, once you've got your tyres warmed up on a dry track, you'd be amazed at how quickly you can throw a bike down for a turn and not lose traction. You can try it out for yourself at the chicane in March!  |
I've never been a riding God ness. I didin't really get out on the SV enough and am practising on the Daytona when I can. I think it's the hardcore tyres that are impeding me. The profile is mental compared to the sports touring rubber that I was used to. Looking to change them before Silverstone but only if I can get a buyer for mine. I've also been very nervous about quick direction changes especially so on a corner. I've got a bit of a mental block when it comes down to overtaking on corners on the road. Think it's too much time in the van. (I've been having nearly sleepless nights already because of Silverstone!)
