    Re: Another newb corners question

    as what has been implied beforehand!!
    choose a gear for the turn.
    either shortshift for the turn upcoming or stay in first.
    don't learn like i did in the first month of owning the ZED.
    i was making a hard left hander and wanted to shift to second while in mid-turn.
    needless to say i missed the shift,but nailed the throttle.
    i'm sure you don't want front tire up in mid turn .
    it is not a manuever that should be observed or practiced.....
    mayo....

    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain."

    Does shifting affect traction at all? I'm thinking of those long left hand turns from a stop in particular.
    Practice upshifting while turning in a parking lot. Throttle control is key.

    As everyone said, no downshifting. Just like in a cage, brake before you enter the turn. Take it easy on the throttle until you are exiting the turn.
