Looking where I want to go and it's not even there. I'm gonna sink and push it down as far as I can. How to make your motorcycle lighter when doing slow maneuvers. You know, tight U-turns and this slow maneuvers in general. Counterbalance. So that's what we're gonna talk about right now. Welcome to Boosting Genius Riders. I'm Rich. What we're gonna cover today is counterbalance. Now we know counterbalance is different from counter steering. You know what counter steering, you push forward, the bike goes to the right. You push forward with your left, the bike goes to the left. But we want to talk about if you have any problems doing basic U-turns in a parking lot or just basic U-turns on the street. And you may be leaning with the bike when you need to be counterbalance. If you're leaning with the bike, then most likely you're gonna fall. If you counterbalance, you can make your bike a lot lighter than it actually is. Because trust me, this a 900 pound beast and when I'm doing my U-turns, it seemed like the bike is not even there. So we're gonna discuss that and we're gonna cover that right now, right this minute. Now you know when you're doing high speeds, 15, 20 miles in order to turn left, you must push the handle forward and go left. And the same thing, right, push forward, turn right. But with counterbalance, you must turn the wheel and slow parking lot maneuvers. So what we're gonna do is show you how to over exaggerate your counterbalance. What I mean by over exaggerating, you wanna get way over here. Everything's remaining the same. Look where you wanna go. Frictions are remaining the same. Little pressure on the river rate. And your RPM somewhere around 11 to 1500 RPM. The second thing we're gonna talk about is getting off to seat. To make your bike even lighter than it actually is. As you can see, I'm sitting on the seat right now. What I mean, getting off to seat is you wanna ride right on this angle of your bike. So you get that little butt off to seat about like this or as far as possible as you can. And everything's still remaining the same. Head and eyes, look where you wanna go. Stay in a friction zone. A little pressure on the rear brake and controlling your speed with the friction zone and your brake. So what you're doing is leaning off and you're getting that bike as low down as possible. And it will be extremely light. So enough talk. I'm gonna show you exactly what we're talking about right now. Okay, not that I'm all geared up. You know you wanna put on your gear when you're doing tight turns. Just in case you're not used to it. You may go tighter doing your spec and may drop your bike. So you don't wanna roll it on this hard pavement without any gear. Why I take that risk? What I'm gonna do is show you the technique that we was talking about. The first ride, I'm gonna just do a regular U-turn. The second one, I will over exaggerate my leg. The third, I will get off the seat and do counterbalance. So here we go. So this is the first one. Where I just kinda sit straight up and look where I wanna go, complete my U-turn. I'm coming around again. Look where I wanna go, complete my U-turn. When you look where you wanna go, you wanna snap that head around first. Now the second one I'm gonna demonstrate is really, I'm gonna do a little bit of the same thing. I'm gonna complete my U-turn. When you look where you wanna go, you wanna snap that head around first. Now the second one I'm gonna demonstrate is really, over to the left right. See how tight that turn becomes when I over exaggerate and lean. I'm still looking where I wanna go, still in the frictions on. Still a little pressure on the brake. Now this last one, I'm getting off the seat right now, long before I make the turn. And then you can make the turn. I just do circles so you can see I'm actually off the seat. Why I'm doing this? Back on the seat, looking where I wanna go, make my U-turn. Now the quicker you put your head around, the better your U-turn gonna be. So let's do a recap. And high speeds, you're doing corner steering. Push right, go right, push left, go left, and lean with the bike. And counterbalance is totally opposite. You set it up straight, you lean the bike, and you go to the right if you turn left. And you go to the left if you turn it right in order to counterbalance your bike. So I hope you like this video.
