was out today, on the FZR, while going to school and work. and was trying to 'get it down' going quite well... but wondered

what is the easiest way to corner (left is easy peasy), but i mean leaning it over, is it easier to...

1) shift arse to side of seat and lean like a leaning thing, or
2) countersteer the bike down and stay sat down?


i tried both, and shifting is more fun Twisted Evil

whats your opinions?

SHifting your weight will not make the bike lean.

Countersteering is pretty much the only way to make your bike lean.

When you hang off it can make you countersteer as your inside arm is pushed out a bit.

When pushing it a bit, I would hang off first, before I got to the corner. Then countersteer to turn into the corner.
