| Re: What is a counter steer technique? i'll try  when you are going round a right hand corner,if you very gently push the handlebars to the left(this is the countersteer bit) the bike will lean farther to the right and the bike will corner tighter,this id due to the weight being transfered to the opposite side that you countersteer to..i stand by to be corrected/improved upon or laughed at...this also works at left hand corners by pushing the handlebars to the right,you most likely already do this without knowing....................Sam |

 not as much as that,but like them none the less,the input to the handle bars should be veryvery gentle,,,next time you are going in a straight line move the handlebars ever so slightly and see what way your weight transfers | |
