good luck......and be careful...... just because you have "just a 600" doesn't mean that bike won't get away from you.

Even so your in a parking lot, you need to make sure your tires are up to temp.

^ what he said.

better to scrub in your tires than to scrub in your fairings.

no,just warm your bike up before redlineing it thew all the gears.when you get into a corner get into the attack position,put alot of weight on your front wheel so it wont wash out, and learn but try and countersteer and that will help set u up better,i no countersteering sounds crazy but it works well

No burn outs. Just ride for like 5 min. of good steady riding, then work on your leaning. If you do the parking lot thing, be sure the lot is free of debris like sand or rocks.


Why dont you come out riding with us on Sunday morning. You'll learn how to lean into corners like nothing.
