First, I've had this conversation with more than one motor officer instructor, not some amateur. I'm 100% certain of my comments.

There's a HUGE difference between something happening naturally, or something happening subconsciously, compared to something happening on purpose. I guarantee, guarantee, if you're not a very experienced, very skilled rider, if you get into an "oh ****" moment, and your brain is screaming: "PUSH MORE", I guarantee you're going to be pushing at least a little bit, with both arms, because, when you're tense, the other arm won't give. It's pushing too. You're just not aware of it, because you're scared.

Of course you're already doing it. The other arm is on the grip, and it's not hanging there limply. That's not the same as being fully and consciously aware of the force you're exerting on the outside bar. And you won't be if you're scared.

When you realize, to your horror, that you're running wide in a turn, I guarantee that nothing will make as much difference, nothing will make you turn effortlessly tighter, than telling yourself: "PULL". I guarantee it.

And that can't happen if you're so tense that your muscles are all rigid.

1. Relax your core, your shoulders, your arms, your hands.
2. Lean forward and lean IN.
3. Push AND pull, BOTH ARMS.

Anyway, this isn't a battle, and I'm not here to win. I just wanted to help the OP understand that the best way to correct an apparently inadequate lean angle, unless you're already a MotoGP rider, is free. I see very, very few riders who are so skilled that they can outride the capabilities of their bike.
Ride safe. I'm out.

 

why is there fighting and **ck measuring about how to steer? there's no correct way. do what works for you.

 

Because we human beings have diverse personalities. Some people like to speak out what they think is right (for fun, to persuade others, out of ignorance, to enlighten, whatever the reason is), while some people don't.

 

thanks for stating the obvious. my point was, "stop the the f**kin* b****h*t". not add to it... sir

 

Fully understood.
Let's hand over the topic to the OP.

 

[QUOTE=IdahoHacker;14599587]Try to pay attention before you shoot off your mouth.

Your signature says it all, but you really do need to "grow up". GRBrown is one of the more knowledgeable and well written contributors to this forum. Disagree with him if you must, but try doing so with a modicum of respect, he has earned it.

 

First, he failed to read my post, failed to understand what I actually said, and opened his response to me with the word "WRONG", in all uppercase. I fail to see "a modicum of respect" in that. At all. The respect thing goes both ways, ya know.

Second, that was over a week ago, and the rest of us have all moved on.

 

I know, late to the party. Just sayin.

 

 

I hate to disagree, but I have found that I 'push' or 'pull' with my right arm. My left arm is merely along for the ride. The end result is the same, the handlebar is turned ever so slightly and the scooter's weight gets pushed into the inside of the turn.
