do u guys encounter this before? left cornering queries!!

[AndrewAlwaysEmo]

i can ride a right corner smooth with no problems....but my left cornering seems unnatural...bike dun seem to wan to steer left even after i push down my left handlebar......unable to lean with the bike ...i have to pull with right and use hips to corner left...izzit just me or theres something wrong with my bike???

[nbk3]

becos the bike thinks its always right?

you may need to try counter-steering. instead of pushing down ur handlebar, push forward. eg: if ur turning right, push ur right handlebar forward and turning left, push the left handlebar forward. It works at speed higher than about 40km/h.

 

and about left cornering; are you a left hander? because right hander have problems turning right(mainly u-turns) and left handers have problems turning left.

I am a right hander, i have problem with left cornering as well... Counter-steering helps, but still not as confident or smooth as turning right. Esp sharp left corner. I believe it may becos of my eye point also.. just weaker at turning left....

check your steering cone/tyre/fork.

 

fit it or it will fix you sooner or later.

Hmm bikey juz seem to favor the right side more... My left side of rear tyre unused portion is still new with wax....center and right is almost no unused portion le...when I go straight i put my weights off the handles ...bike also tends to slowly drift right...

I believe this is due to the road camber, always easier to turn right than left.

Check your bike alignment. Handlebar, front fork, subframe, tyres alignment. I used to face similar problem. Hard right corner no problem, once left bike wobble and drifted out of apex. End up found the front forks not straight/aligned parallel to one another.

bike is a right hander?

[fleas]

try counter-weight steering if u are riding a big bike(means heavy bike like s4)

[Idono]

Some bikes are slightly heavier on the right.... anyway, tons of reasons la. Get an experienced bro to ride it and he will tell u why.

bro try taking out ur exhaust pipe. cornering to the left confirm lighter! that is if ur pipe is on the right.
