Hi,
Trying to get some advice or feedback on the way I do or take turns before taking a ramp.
I am not new to riding, but coming from two Ninja 250, I've found turning with my new fz6r not being as easier as before, the Ninja was extremely nimble and light.
So, when I need to take a small ramp, let's say the garage, which has a 40 to 45 degrees inclination, I find myself a bit uncomfortable now. I usually park on the street when I get back from work. So if I don't run any errands, I prefer to keept the bike in the garage.
I turn the bike on. Make sure I'm on 1st gear and release clutch slowly, playing with clutch and gas, same as I do with my stick car. The thing is my car is on the ramp (left side), and wife's car is inside (right side) so I got to turn left, without hitting my car on the ramp, and then a bit right, after passing my car, while not going to slow. So the bike ends on the left side of the garage, if you're looking from outside the house.
I know sounds too stupid, but when I started riding 4 years ago, I felt just there with the Ninja, 'cause I went too slow and went down to the left, while I was trying to avoid my wife's car, which was inside, right side.
A similar situation but in movement is when I go to the closest Walmart. I'm on the rightmost lane and the ramp is also same side. I need to slow down and turn right to take the ramp, but has about 45 degrees, so I need to play with clutch and gas and turn right aggressively, to avoid hit cars exiting from Walmart.
Difficult to explain with words, but hope you get the point.
Any advice will be highly appreciated!
