I'm aware that coasting through a corner is a HUGE no-no. I appreciate both yours and @ adouglas responses. I'll stop coasting up to lights and start downshifting again 
I can't even think of how I got started doing that. I think it was last summer when my bike was getting warmer than I'd have liked when in traffic, and I wanted to cool it down more. I've since flushed the cooling system, and the bike now stays at an appropriate temperature for much longer when in traffic.
I guess that's another lesson that can be taken away from this: don't let mechanical problems turn into riding problems. |
LIKE.
I cannot figure out how to "like" a post or find it helpful or whatever...how do I do it?
