Slow countersteering
Hi fellow ninjetteers!
We had a discussion about how slow/fast you need to be going for countersteering to become effective. Took me a while but I found the numbers and didn't want to hijack it into the picture thread.
John Robinson's "Motorcycle Tuning: Chassis" lists the transition speed as 2-4ft/sec or 2.2-4.4kph.
Of course , now we all have an excuse to play with our bikes to see if we can find that happy transition spot. Good balance and control exercise!
