Post by: sadlonelygit on 19 June 2014, 05:09:24 pm
yamaha used to quote lean angles for their bikes.
anyone know what a gen 1 should go over to?
guess who had some telemetry on their bike last week :lol
got a way to go to worry marquez, but still quite impressed with myself ;)

I dunno what lean angle I got, but the day before yesterday I ground the sidestand foot extender on my 800XC  - was quite surprised when I realised what it was that had decked out! (and yes, the stand was tucked away properly :lol)

well at cadwell I ground out the puig crash protectors at park ......don't know the elan angle but much more and its sliding. I also did Mansfield ( left hander ). On the snappers photo the bike seems on its side.
Feck knows the angle, but don't think she was gonna go anymore.
amazing all the same.
NOTE- this is on my fazer which has  weight matched springs with full Ktech sussies. Don't try this on a stocker , you will crash !

Pirelli superbike android app will give you details of your lean angles etc ... it can be switched between track and road
