Great Save

Makes a change from all the wrecks

Lucky Save by Yamaha FZ1

A good save indeed!

The only question is how come he lost it in the first place? I couldn't see any fault that he made, and road surface was good!

It looks like he rolls off the throtle then back on just before the rear goes, but yes great save.

two things i noticed his peg touches the floor lifting back wheel and the rear tyre afterwards looks soft??

That corner seems to catch out a lot of people.

"I dropped to 1st. When I came out of the corner and went back on the gas my torque was high and she started to slide"


Also said he was in a crossed up position as he was going for max lean angle...whoops.

I agree. Loads of videos on utube with bikes comin off that corner but why? It seems a bit of a hotspot for vid makers fotographers and bikers alike. People have hit the rails othher bikes/pushbikes there. Was that vid of the biker takin out 2 cyclists here aswell? Badd juju or bad skills?

[ChristoT]

It's a known nasty, a sharp hairpin. I think people do push a bit hard around it, and get caught out.

And yes, same corner as the cyclist crash too.

So he changed gear mid-corner!!! Enough said really.

All I see from watching that vid is him coming off the throttle some about 2-3 secs before the back starts to slide. Don't see a gear change... but when he gives it more throttle it fixes itself

I think he means he was in first gear for the corner and ended up with too much torque when exiting - possibly tried to give it a bit too much power a bit too early. Not sure that first is the best gear to be in since I usually find its not exactly the smoothest of gears - tbh though his bike his probably set up significantly better than mine :P

[ddtwelve]

def no gear change mid corner the bike seems to die when he comes off the throttle just before the slide but no foot moemnt or clutch movement

[Skippernick]

oh ok i assumed he meant he changed gear half way round the corner.
