Moto America’s coverage is kinda annoying, I want more footage of Gagne but he’s so far out front that he gets very little airtime lol

But one thing I saw him doing that immediately stood out.

When he’s coming off a turn he keeps his body in the same place relative to the ground but pops the bike upward underneath him to get on the meat of the tire earlier than everyone else.

I noticed it because when I’m on the supermoto bike I do the same thing, did it on accident at first but then realized it works.

At lean coming off the curve you just keep your body as-is but kind of straighten your outside arm while pushing down on the outside peg…your body doesn’t move away from the bike, you move the bike away from you…stands it up just a bit earlier while holding the line. Sort of a quick little popping motion.

Gunna try it on the big bike this season.

Give it a shot Steven, hope it works well for you!

Two other techniques will do the same, with less physical effort:
1. Apply the throttle earlier. This will help the bike 'stand up' earlier, and you let the bike move away from you.
2. At the point you wish the bike to become more upright, turn the steering into the corner. Again, let the bike move away from you.

Same results, less effort, more easily repeatable.

That little pop up move is really easy on a little Supermoto bike, and doesn’t upset the bike at all, we’ll see on the big bike.

I’ll try the steering thing for sure, thanks for the tip.

I ordered a crash cage for the K5 Gixxer, that bike has no electronic nannies, so since I’m not gunna track it I’m going to use it to do drills with…managing front and rear slides at lean, getting a sense of mastery of control in lots of different slip angles, throttle positions etc., with very few consequences.
