Small off today

I was leaving my house, about 10 seconds into my trip theres a 90deg left hander, I went around it between 15-20mph, started to acellorate out of the corner and the rear spun out. I somehow didnt high side and the bike spun a full 180degs!! then fell over!
No damage, except a tiny scrape on the R&Gs, so glag they were there!

I can only think it was down to cold tires and road, maybe i was decieved by the bright sun thinking the road would be warmer. Or maybe there was some WD40 on my rear tyre from when I cleaned it??



oh well, no harm to me or the bike, lesson learned. bit of dent in the old ego though!!

Did the same thing last week, lucky i lowsided, scuffed the crash posts, i put mine down to cold tyres, did you get bruised or ok

no damage to me, I hopped off as it was falling.

Im abit shocked that it happened though, Ive been riding for 6 years and this is the 1st time ive ever properly lot the rear. Ive felt it slide afew times and caught it, but nothing like that!

this is like deja vu, my bike spun out so quick, did not have a chance, scuffed indicator broken hand brake lever...... im running on dunlops, and they don,t seem to hold there heat, made me VERY wary...

ive got Z6s about 2500 miles in. There was no heat in them, Id only just set off about 10 seconds before.

Fortunatly nothing broke on mine, do you have crash bungs?

yeh, saved my fairings, could probably do with being a touch longer, cold tyres suck

I have the standard Dunlop tyres and I last managed to get out last Saturday. Anyway. I turned from the little brick paved courtyard area onto the small side road (which goes onto a main road) and gave it a few revs and then backed off and the back tyre was all over the place.

Cold weather is an issue but I do wonder how good the standard Dunlops are Suzuki fit. They seem to slide around easily.

Come on people....going around a corner with cold tyres, when the roads are wet/greasy, really should mean a bit of common sense with the throttle!

ASM, sometimes you have to experience things for yourself before you learn.

Bummer, glad it's just the ego damaged.

I need to watch all the time when I leave the house.

In the space of a quarter mile i have a 90 right up hill. An off camber down hill roundabout followed by another eccentric roundabout.

Beyond that in the first mile or so on my commute to work, I have another 5 roundabouts.

Cheers
