Cornering - which gear, opinion poll.

[Pwalo]

Get into the correct for the corner (if you can see through it) before entry, carry a slighty opening throttle through the coner until you can see your exit, and gently wind on the revs.

Revs, as such, aren't important. As long as you're in the right gear, and don't try and ride through the corner on a closed throttle you should be ok.

My own preference is always to have the engine in the mid rev range where ever I'm riding.

all i can say is wat feels best for you, and wat your doing, best be in a gear that u can hold revs to keep some power to road as grip, then enough rpm range to power out without having to change gears,

thena gain wat do i know.....

hey - me either

but on this bike i generally change down setting up for the corner - no scientific explaination - just feels like the needful thing

Higher revs - i.e. 1/2 way through the rev range... more engine braking if needed, more "turbo boost" if needed, plenty of chance to rev it out and really have some fun if needed...

Just better control of the vehicle overall, nad making it ready to accelerate as rapidly as it reasonably can when the corner opens out
