How do you ride a bike?

I had a few issues transitioning from my ZX6 to the ZX10. The thing I found that really dropped my lap times on the 1000 was changing from the wide entry, holding as much speed as I could and running out wide with that speed didn't work on the 1000 as I was leant over way too much to hit the throttle. By slowing my entry slightly, turning it hard and standing it up as soon as I could let me get on the gas much harder, much earlier. Now I've just got to relearn the 600 all over again.

Yea pretty much exactly my issues at the moment.. :(

Owen , I am riding mine with no electronics and think the key is smooth throttle and smooth braking and not making rider movements to upset the bike. Some corners are get it in , aim and fire it out and some are holding the speed like a 600 but smoothness is the key for me.

Thanks for the input, Steve. That's great to hear, smooth has always been fast in my experience!
I'm always pleasantly surprised that the fastest laps seem the calmest too.
