Oi!! lads I've decided to try my luck with asking this forum for assistance involving the art of cornering
I'm riding around on the bike named 2015 Yamaha YZR-m1 but I just can't get it to function properly. As I close the distance to a turn I naturally hit the brakes but sooner or later the back kicks out limiting my braking ability, interestingly the 2015 honda RC213V is easier to handle and I can be more aggressive provided I don't brake too suddenly I also learned I can continue my braking through the corner itself which I find really interesting that it is possible to do so. here I realize not all bikes are equal but I really want to improve my ability to corner with the Yamaha model. Any ideas?
I personally think that bike has killer brakes. I've found out it is a matter of really getting to fine tune your braking, you really need to just touch the brakes. Find the limit and practice to get more consistent.
What you are describing used to happen to me but now I have gotten used to the big initial bite.
hmmm.... will keep it notated

I started like you. Coming from car racing, I had to lose this habit. And yes, now I go gently in the brakes putting more and more pressure on the brakes and letting it go if the rear lift up or if it wobbles to much. And yes, you will save a lot of time if you late your braking and continue braking in the entry of the corner.
