Chicken strips are just so irrelevant for a street bike imo, unless you’re forcing excessive body lean or counter leaning at crazy speeds then you’re always gonna have strips. I have like an inch on the rear of my R6 and I couldn’t care less - keep that sort of riding for the track 🤙🏼
You've improved so much dude! One extra tip i have for people learning to lean that i think you missed is prepare before the corner, shift your but and body to the side of the bike your leaning to before the corner, then when entering the corner start to lean more into it. If your staying central on your bike, then getting to the corner, starting to turn, then moving yourself of the bike to lean, it can unsettle your suspension, which will normally result in a low side where the bike slips away from underneath you. so just make sure your moving your but and body to prepare for the lean before your at the corner.
chicken strips are just a bravado thing between bikers they don't matter at all for the roads we have in here in UK , in your case the last tyres you had were past the life expectancy i imagine which is why you had flat spots and they were probably close to the limit anyway. But you did highlight that its important to just get used to handling the bike before you start thinking of leaning too aggressively and getting some heat in the tyres so bonus points for that :)
Tyre pressures... for performance, 36/40 is very high. Yes it will let you tip in quickly, but you have less grip. Lower pressure = greater contact patch, so you can brake harder and get out of a corner more aggressively. The recommended 36/42 is factoring in a blend of performance, longevity, riding 2 up etc. I've ridden road tyres on track a few times in the beautiful UK climate and around 32/32 cold is a good starting point, you'd likely end up dropping the rear another bit as you progress. All that said, for the road it doesn't really matter, as you won't be getting near their limit, leaving them with high pressure could be nice for the tip in and longevity.
Sport touring street tyres like the ones on his bike are meant to be ridden at high pressures under all conditions to properly support the thread and keep the shape of the tyre. A sporty tyre will be very V shaped even at lower pressures due to general construction but most sport touring tyres are very flat around the middle and with a little bit of pressure loss that U can quickly turn into a basically square tyre. They also generate heat much much quicker but not as much peak temperature, this means their internal pressures when warm won't go up as much. That 32/32 cold will quickly turn into 40/36 when warmed up on a sport tyre, but a touring tyre might only get up to 36/34. I have TPMS on my 1290 SDGT and tyre pressures go up a surprising amount from cold to warm.
@AntaresSQ01 I'd disagree about some of that. For a start think about what a sport touring tyre is required to support on a touring bike, maybe a 240kg+ bike, maybe luggage. I could get onboard for the high pressure for cruising in that scenario. However, his cbr is sub 200kg. He also doesn't appear to be a heavy chap. He doesn't need high pressures for the tyres to keep shape. I would agree that in the wet he shouldn't drop em too low, thread having no deformation will be of benefit there. I'd stick with 32/32 as a good starting point for dry performance. Go for a spirited ride and immediately check pressures. If they're about 35 you're in a good spot.
@@kevinmckeon2543 Again, too low for a sport touring tyre. I promise you the weight barely impacts the pressures you should run, standard pressures for a GS (with a 170 section tyre which has less volume than a 180 or 190 as on sportier bikes) is 42 PSI for solo, 45 PSI for 2 riders + luggage, that's a 3 PSI difference and ONLY on the rear tyre for a potential 100kg weight difference. the recommended 36/42 that's on majority of bikes is optimal for sport touring/street tyres, if you're running supercorsas, sure, but definitely not on Road 4s, still I'd personally go a little below recommended on a bike like his but definitely not to that extent. As said in the video him being on 36 PSI instead of 40 PSI already makes a noticeable difference.
@AntaresSQ01 fair enough, I'll respectfully disagree just from years of track days and seeing what a high level guy will do with road tyres. I know he says he feels a difference but with all the respect in the world here he doesn't know what he's talking about, he's a novice rider not pushing the bike at all, just trying to learn as he goes and making videos while doing so - and there's nothing wrong with that.
I got a DJI Action 4 and a USB-C lavalier that plugs straight into the camera, where do you have the Mic mounted in your helmet? Maybe my mic is shit (it's a cheaper 15 quid AGPTEK one but it had okay reviews and sounds good in quieter environments, but even with -15dBA on gain in the DJI it's still clipping my voice.
Tire psi 2 high 4 light spirited ride 30 34 ur pumped 4 motorway commute. Ur bike manual n tier spec give high psi pressures 2 lengthen the tires life. Youll feel so much more n have more confidence if u drop that pressure
Should get yourself an airhawk pro electric pump or something like that dude. The amount of £1 coins I've saved is unbelievable 👍 Michelin pilot road 6 some of the best all round tyres out there. chicken strips who cares, on the road you shouldn't be getting your knee down anyway. 😂
But isnt low psi means more surface area for the tyre to grip on the road? your not leaning as much on the public road (where it has soo many imperfections) as you need to be on a race track where its all smooth. I get my leaning tips from motojitsu honestly should check him out.

Someone with a brain all people seem to be bothered about is chicken strips lol as long as I make it home I’m sweet
No more chicken strips 😂😂😂😂😂 think you need glasses mate....you do know you can get your kneedown at 3mph 😂😂😂

He’s speaking from experience listen up guys! I’ve seen him get better and better with every ride certainly a quick lad
Ay cheers mate still can’t catch you yet though 🏃🏽♂️😂

Fuck me, HRC be offering you a wildcard in the GP next.

I just use my chinese manual for the standard psi

Do you think it’s easier leaning a sports bike than a naked upright seated bike?

I've learnt if you drop the shoulder the way your leaning you will gradually get lower and lower
Are they still doing bike nights at that pub?
What pub
I was at a bike night yesterday im pretty sure that was at a pub
The Star and Garter. They did bike nights in the summer.
😎👍🏼
Bloody good explanation ill try this this afternoon
Give it a go mate
Pissed it down that day out now yes definitely helps 100 percent lad
What road is that where you parked up in the long lay-by?
From higham to kimbolton
