[b*tch titts]

well really most corners..i have got berms down packed..but like a 180 turn i think it it..i tend to stall it..mabye i just need to get use to it..but any tips will be great thanks a million

isnt it down pat ? lol

[Mrm_250]

yeah man its just practice, use a little clutch as your on a 125, and weight the bike right put weight on the outside peg and just keep on practicing you will get it real soon...hope that helps

[bigbudoo]

when your trying to turn 180 on a 125 dont be scared to lean the bike over alot and spin the wheel right around using clutch and throttle. When you practice though, do it in an open space as you might find the bike will grip and take off

as ur coming into the corner use a gear thats not 2 low so it doesnt boag so u dont use clutch, put ur foot out near the front wheel, look 2 ur exit of the corner,smoothy on the throttle

yer pretty mutch what those blokes said sit up the front of the bike and if your just learnin to go fast around flat corners for a 125 keep it in 1st or 2nd and lean ur waight tawords the outside of the corner and when ya get good at it ya can get the bike bloody low to the ground i got into a 2 wheal drift i got it so low and after a while ya can drift around the corner its good fun so keep practicing

Yeah, I would agree with this when it comes to a tight 180 turn.

nice, straight foward advice
Actually a tad contradictory... Lean it over and hope it stays upright kinda defies itself. :p Ahhh I'm just stirrin and bein picky. :)

The way i do it is come into the berm a little hot. Whi;e i'm braking i change down to 2nd or 3rd depending the berm. Inside leg out near the front wheel and get into it.

[FMX_Ezza]

Yeah, what i do is drop down to second and brake a little so you slide into the berm, so you are in the direction you are wanting to go and then drop the clutch and roost around the berm.

hi i went for a ride today, for about 3 hours...i have cut up a bit of a circuit and i have got turning mastered.. its quiet easy now, haha drop the clutch and side around and straighten up a bit

thanks for the help
