Was this in Kingston? What bit?

Also, your pipe is twisted. The springs shouldn't be twisted like that.

When i bought the bike the springs were twisted and the exhaust was pointed the wrong way (opening facing up). I turned the exhaust to be the proper way, but the springs are only tight if they are put on twisted like that. I didnt think that would matter.

Sugestions? Stop blaming anything but yourself. It is possible to hold a corner in the damp if you know what you're doing.

Oh I completely understand that its my fault.

Go to a giant parking lot and take some pylons along.

Now start experimenting while cornering, slow, medium, fast etc...

Now do the above while braking, coasting and accelerating.

Start moving your body position around and hanging off the bike while doing the same.

Report back what you find :iconbiggrin:

I had started doing this, obviously need to keep it up. My concerns are;
a) Dropping my back again while trying something
b) practicing an incorrect/ dangerous technique and making it a habit. (This is a thing for other sports, im assuming it applies to motorcycles as well?)

Is that a Danmoto pipe?

Yes.

HWY 2 running through napanee. Leaving napanee west (towards kingston) it runs parallel to the napanee river and there is a turn where the HWY leaves napanee under a bridge.

I know exactly where that is as I ride down there a fair bit. Never found it slippy though.

Consider taking a course such as this one: http://www.sharpridermotorcycletraining.com/classes/total-control-level1/

they will correct any bad habits you have.

Yes.

Nice. Their carbon fiber is looking good

Neither had I, thats part of the reason I wasnt expecting it.

Thought that was a given :lmao:

Nothing is a given for a brand new rider. It's easy to forget that sometimes.

Danmoto screwed up the spring mounting points on mine too. Crappy pos.

The mounting points are correct, the springs are on wrong.

It's the cheapest pipe you can buy, don't expect Akrapovic quality.
