motorcycle control - control sensitivity

by the end of class 2b lessons, the below finer details of bike control should be familiar then:

  • throttle sensitivity: 
    • jerking the throttle causes sudden changes in momentum
  • eye point: 
    • looking ahead, planning ahead, looking where you want to go
  • clutch sensitivity: 
    • use finger tips to control, 
    • control the rear wheel's willingness to upright due to gyroscopic forces, 
    • controls low speed, 
    • must be able to link to rear wheel's response and rolling momemtum

  • front brake/rear brake:
    • brake's biting point, 
    • ability to squeeze hard like squeezing a lemon and not snatching the brake, 
    • 4 stages of braking 
    • and also not locking up the wheels
  • butt sensitivity: 
    • to sense wheel traction, 
    • to sense momentum of rear wheel at low speed 
    • and changes in suspension position due to acceleration/deceleration changes
  • to be further continued...
