When you’re out riding on the MSF range, keep the following three things at the forefront of your mind at you’ll have less trouble:
1) Your eyes hold the key to everything. Keep them up and look where you want to go. ALWAYS! But not just where you want to go in the next half second. Your eyes should be looking for where you want to be in the next 3-5 seconds. That means that in a turn, you look as far into the turn as you can. In a slow-speed u-turn, that means you look all the way behind you as your beginning the turn.
2) Don’t hold onto the bike with the handlebars. How will you make 1mm changes in throttle if your hands support your bodyweight? Loosen up! Grab the bike with your lower body and try to be as light and loose on the bars as you can. It will REALLY help things like throttle control while turning the bars, clutch modulation while in full-lock, etc.
3) Be smooth! Everything you do should be smooth. Your throttle inputs, your steering, your braking, your feathering of the clutch, it should all be smooth. That means you should try to avoid any lurches or jolts in your riding (i.e. too abrupt on or off the throttle, sloppy gear change, etc.).
