I could be wrong just a thought maybe someone who is better than I could chime in on this.. Ive always heard stay in line with the bike dont lean to the outside or inside, and dont lean to turn at all use your upper body. anyway tryin to help and learn myself.
he circles to the right, and in the staggered or foot on/in seat position you cant help but lean to the inside. thats what makes it harder to learn tight right handed circles. its difficult to pull the bike down into yourself. for going left i guess u could think of it as a quick adjustment of your body to the inside and then push the bike away from you down into the circle to initiate it. not really just leaning and waiting for it to happen.

Re: quickie about O's

SDfkillz is right about putting my body inside of the circle and it un intentionally happens, but I've been workin at staying more over the bike and upright. If I go and try to push on my inside foot when standing tall and close to the bike i end up standing on the brake lever. Might actually have to try the same stance but with HB instead of FB to see if that helps with form.
The inside foot is also higher and more foward(frnt peg) outside on the passenger- or bar/seat.

Re: quickie about O's

My RR keeps bogging down. I think i am going to slow, and sometimes i catch myself hitting too much brake. They are coming.... I can feel it. haha

I think the main thing when learning is to keep it HIGH (less chance to highside) and come in ON idle. Then just learn the back n fourth transistion of gas to brake. Once you get the concept down and can rock 2-3 consistency, you can start being smoother, more inline, push/pull, etc.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.. Gonna go out right now.. Wish me luck!!
