Great Save - cbx63 - 08-05-13
Makes a change from all the wrecks
Lucky Save by Yamaha FZ1
Re: Great Save - ChristoT - 08-05-13
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!
Re: Great Save - dBfazer600 - 08-05-13
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??
Re: Great Save - Lawrence - 08-05-13
That corner seems to catch out a lot of people.

The rider left a comment on the vid:
"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?
Re: Great Save - ChristoT - 09-05-13
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.
Re: Great Save - redthunder - 09-05-13
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
Re: Great Save - ddtwelve - 09-05-13
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
Re: Great Save - Skippernick - 09-05-13
oh ok i assumed he meant he changed gear half way round the corner.
