you should definetly be hesistant like he said about rolling on the throttle too hard in the rain, you want all inputs, throttle, brake, and handling to be super smooth on and off, but you really want to be on the gas from the beginning of the turn anyways, like neutrally that is, just enough to hold your speed steady and open it up gradually as you start to bring the bike up straight, but you definetly do not want to be off the gas and decelerating through a turn
Yeah i used a bad choice of words. I dont mean get on the gas a lot, just gradually roll on it as i am coming out of the turn, but with my current tire's condition, im afraid to do that if the roads are wet, it just doesnt look like it will have much traction (i even lost traction going straight the other day when i shifted from 1st to 2nd, almost like barking gears except i just spun at about 38mph, and yes it was wet out.)
And something else i have been doing which i dont know is good or not is when i go through a curve, like a merging land from one main street to another i slow down just a little and hold the clutch in and just coast with the speed i have, then I ease the clutch back in as im coming out of the curve. Any tips you could give i could practice would be much appreciated. Although im still hesitant about locking up my rear wheel
