I had to leave shortly after asking the question and just came back to watch the stream. Thank you for answering. I watched all the videos you suggested and they were immensely helpful. Thank you ❤
Technical question regarding cornering. If the corner that you’re approaching is a typical 90mph corner speed corner, What speed should you be approaching that corner at to make trail braking logical. In other words if I’m approaching that 90 mile an hour corner at 95 miles an hour I obviously don’t need to trail break I just continue riding it through, but if I’m approaching that corner at 120 I probably would. So what I’m asking is does the speed approaching the corner have to be sufficient enough that you need to trail break down to the corner speed of that corner ? Sorry if it sounds confusing, but I’m just trying to figure out the logic behind trail breaking in that you only need to trail break when you’re coming in fast enough that you need to slow the bike down to that corners proper Corner Speed.
As a Honda Transalp owner who rides on twistie mountain and valley asphalt roads , the electronics allow you to ramp up or down engine braking . Would you prefer strong engine braking or mild engine braking if you are riding fast ? Logic would tell me strong engine braking , so less brake pressure needed . Is this true on a racetrack ? Cheers
