At least you are finding the limits in safer environments bud and I could only dream of getting my R6 down to that lean angle. They say there are two types of rider...." Those who have crashed & those who are going to crash" Love your vids !
thank you; the parts that took the most damage in this low side were actually the 1) the engine case cover slider (currently a KTM power part) and 2) interestingly enough, the pitbull rear stand peg. i also believe the frame slider touched. i don't think the footpeg touched the ground at all, it didn't look any worse for wear. i don't think i scraped a part BEFORE i lost traction, but the sound immediately during the low side is likely my toe slider and knee puck hitting the ground and sliding. this is indeed after i installed the rear sets -- i would never be able to lean this far with the stock rear sets on, the foot pegs would have touched probably 5 - 10 degrees earlier.
i'll think about it. realistically, there is no 'tutorial' and if there was one, i certainly wouldn't be qualified to prepare it. body position and dragging your knee takes time but the best way to go about it, in my opinion, is find a large open parking and film yourself trying. filming is critical because it lets you review what you're doing and then make deliberate changes and see how it looks / what changes. you also have to be comfortable crashing (or at least, prepared to) -- i've crashed dozens of times exploring my lean limits in parking lots. so, buy some track fairings for your bike or accept that your OE might get damaged. hopefully this helps.

From the sound of it, looks like you levered the bike off with something, stand or peg ? Sure looks like it. Keep at it!
yes might be the case, I didn't think the lean angle felt that significant but it's definitely possible.
Yeah, foot peg starts scraping and then the front loses grip. Foot peg propped the bike up from the tires.
Ouch. Glad you are OK. What hard parts hit first? Was this after you added rear sets?

hello sir, Can you do a tutorial? I am learning on how to knee drag in tight corners

Hello, do the frame sliders clear the edge of the bodywork and the Engine covers?
depends on your angle of slide but generally yes.
Hey bro, can we use your clip in our next compilation video? Fully credited in video & description. Thanks in advance!
sure :)
Can you dm me the location of this parking lot? 👀
Sadly I lowsided mine without any protection🥲🥲🥲
