I was on a trackday yesterday.
A group of people gathering at a lokal kart-track to get more experience and to push the bikes a little more than on the road.
We have instructors riding with us and so on, can be good as the track is quite narrow and can make you suprised at any moment.
Anaway.
The bike feels light in the front ( i think it has something with the bar being placed too high and a little bit back...?
The fork is way too soft...
My rear tire had some strange "stairs" with small rubber tabs at edges of the tirepattern as if the rear shock was bad. (i guess that im to heavy for the spring... im on about 95kg 180cm. With gear on maybe 100 - 105?
My footpegs was scraping the asphalt in several corners.
I wanted to lean out but it felt like impossible...
Couldnt get a proper position on the bike.
Dunno if the seat is too low or what.
It seemed like my arms wasnt long enough because of the bar position/ design.
Some instructor told me it looked if i was really struggling with the bike, but also that my position was wrong. ( i couldnt get a proper one...)
I dont know if its me chicken out or if its the bike that just dont handle this kind of treatment?
I have ridden several different bikes both on road and tracks and even on my XT660X i managed to have the knee in the ground cornering...
Is it anyone else pushing his/ her bike like this and have the same feeling?
Or is it just me loosing it...? :surrender:
I know is a cheap bike but i just want your comments about your feeling regarding the handling of the bike. Mainly track riding.
