I was the same way on mine but it was mainly due to needing tires..now got some track take offs on it and it rides so much better.. feel better in the turns.. and yes, a very heavy bike... miss my 929rr..lol
GO TAKE THE RIDER SAFETY COURSE !!!!!
ABOVE TWENTY MILES PER HOUR YOU TURN A BIKE TO THE LEFT TO MAKE IT TURN RIGHT
Called Counter steering--------------
get your entry speed under control,
push forward on the inside bar
apply a maintenance throttle
turn your head and look
(go from the outside of the corner back to the inside as the corner opens up)
called late apex
it keeps your bike more upright.. Good Luck
GO TAKE THE MSF RIDER SAFETY COURSE THE BEGINNERS COURSE
for very SLOW speed turning, agree with all who said
1. counter sitting
2. clutching in and out
3. light drag the rear brake -- and most important of all:
4. KEEP YOUR HAND OFF THE FRONT BRAKE. Grab that front brake handle at low speed with the wheel turned and you're big busa is going down on the pavement immediately - at great cost. Ask me how I know. I never encountered that problem in decades of riding with dirt bikes and lighter street bikes.
... on a related subject (for zero speed handling), do the kickstand mod. Many, many pricey busa parts have been scrapped w/o this.
