If you're overloading your inside knee, nothing will last too long....
if you're just touching down as a feeler, your sliders should last a while.
I use Wiz, they slide well and last if you don't overload them.

[Ruckos87]

Properly over loading it... I'll look up Wiz

Any tips on how to not overloaded???

Woodcraft KluckyPucks, especially the 'endurance/rain' model. I've got them on my suit, and I think they are gonna last longer than my riding career!! Kurveygirl sells them.

Keep reminding yourself that your knee is not a third wheel!! Too much weight on it is bad for all kinds of reasons. Try to concentrate on loading the pegs (preferably the outside one, but both is ok too), rather than the knee. Also, take your 'hanging' bodyweight on the knee locked into the side of the tank, so there's less hanging down on the sliding knee.

Try not to hang off too far... Half a cheek'll do yah.
Upper body (Arm pit and outer elbow) on the tank.
You'll go faster, with less lean angle and feel more stable doing it.

Sweet I'll give that a go new time.

Any tips on body position From you seasoned racers?
Fyi that's pete Goddard trailing he was my instructed for the day. A wealth of knowledge, my lines improved all day.but spewing my Qzstar only lasted one session did a 104 (south circut) 3rd session out but I reccon by the 5th I would have improved a tone on that.
That was until I over took a motard approaching turn 2 and ended up in the kitty litter...

It's fine. Everyone is too worried how they will look in the pics. Let's be honest too.

As long as you have control over the motorcycle inputs then I say don't worry.

Unless you want some cool elbow pics for facebook ...

Looking good mate

Your position is perfect, right up to your mid-spine/tummy area. Then you're slightly 'crossed up', where you're leaning your upper body back the other way. Try to work on bringing your upper body down and forward, into the turn. Try to have your outside forearm on the tank, as you lean your upper body into the turn.

How did the fairings survive the off?

no.1 plate for a reason... there is no "perfect" body position..


now, where is Michael Jackson with the popcorn???
