driving out the corner - tip?

[White Noise]

just been watching the on board bike vid from silverstone and it seems to show that my exit out of corner is pretty crap, i.e i am hesitent to put the power fully on. ok i was following a R1, but on the day i was worried that i would put in the power too quickly and i would loose the back end! in fact i was more confident braking and leaning the bike over in the corner than i was driving it out. anyone got any tips about how to get more confident about it, apart from more practice. is putting the power down quickly something that i should actually be that worried about?
Cheers
WN

Getting on the power early can make a big difference, I have often kept up with or got past bigger bikes on straights thanks to getting on the power a lot earlier.

There's two main transitions in my riding at least.
There's the point that I start getting on the power slowly and the point I crack it open.


The point I open the throttle fully is where I'm sure the bike's upright enough to grip with any extra power the bike can chuck out.
Obviously this is effected by other things such as the point in the rev range I am and the gear I'm in (snapping the throttle open in 6th or at 8k rpm doesn't have as much effect as at 12k rpm in 2nd gear ).


The other point is where I start to progressively get on the power, this should be as the bike starts to sit up, as you are leaning less, you have more grip available for acceleration, so you can progressively roll on the throttle a bit faster as you stand up.

As you take corners faster you will find that these points change - you are not only putting more cornering stress through the tyres, but the engine will be revving higher, meaning that the power is going to come on quicker.


As with most things on track, the major thing to remember is to get quicker slowly - Bring the points you get on the power back gradually.

This way you may end with a little back wheel slide, but as you're only slightly more on it than last time when it gripped, it's only a little slide.
Once you've found this point, you just need to remember it and accelerate /just/ after it to be on the limit in tha aspect.
