This is sick man... Thanks for sharing CH. Great way to go through the whole rear in one session

 

Wanna briefly run through the basics of how they get it done? Simple language for us layman of course. Wanna know only... Thx!

 

ok i try to give a rough idea how sliding works.

 

Basically sliding works by making the rear wheel spin SLOWER than the front wheel.

 

Common misconception was that people ram the throttle to make the rear wheel spin FASTER than the front wheel to slide..nope it doesnt really work that way.

 

In this case for the sportbike,

 

Case 1:

 

- with slipper clutch

- drop 2-3 gears at highspeed, will hit over rev for sure

- slipper clutch comes into action and prevent rear wheel from locking, so rear wheel remains spinning but SLOWER than front wheel, which is why he can slide

 

Case 2:

 

- w/o slipper clutch

- drop 2-3 gears at highspeed, again over rev occurs

- BUT need to engage clutch properly to slip the clutch so that rear wheel will not lock and continue to spin SLOWER than front wheel.

 

This is based on my knowledge of backing it in on motards, which i think should apply to sportbike as well.

 

I used method 2 on my ex-xr400 simply because i have no money for slipper clutch. haha...about $2000-$3000 to install just the clutch.

 

Purpose of backing it in on motard allows v v late braking + allows the bike to be straighten out of the bend faster than others => can throttle off earlier

 

hope it helps!

lol ash we go form "Team NUS Racing":angel: TNR woot

[marzocchi]

okay not please... perhaps they're more likely to grasp your attention

 

define type of what? face or melon?

 

okay now I feel weird talking about it. =X

 

yupz that's how society works.

 

imagine 2 person going for interview

 

1) sloppy looking, no make up (for girls), never shave (for guys) etc

2) well-groomed, well-dressed.

 

who will give u better impression?

 

it's the first impression that counts after all ma.

 

After that realised the person you employed no substance, how? sack lor.

 

Just like girls nice to see, candy-eye la...etc.. but after all it's the inner self that really counts on the long run.

[Pplater]

then back it in at SRC car park lol...

[marzocchi]

jam the rear brake and countersteer?????

 

ahh...that's also not that correct. You jam rear brake also will work, but you are LOSING control of the bike.

 

During sliding and you release rear brake, traction comes into place, 97% will highside if you go fast enough.

super 4 also can slide once. but start learning on straight. DONT try at corners before learning how to master clutch control.

 

1) charge towards a point you aiming

2) Rev the bike until almost close to red-lining

3) Brake the front to unweigh the rear (but don't jam front brake)

3) clutch in drop 1-2 gears

5) release clutch slowly until biting point, if you succeed, you can feel the rear wheel sliding (w/o locking) and best, can hear nice screeching sound. haha

 

try at your own risk ar. i'm not advocating you to do dangerous things.

truetrue... but interviewers don't look for melons... should not be la... but I think make up for girls isn't necessary, although it does depend on the nature of the job. Some girls are naturally pretty... they look really funny with makeup on

Say for what... DEMO la :cheer:

[hellsfury]

wad chiehui say is true, cos last time when i first got my s4, i made a big mistake of revving it to redline, clutched in to glide, then i accidentally slipped the clutch too much. luckily was at low speed when my rear fish tailed.

[kitty23]
