    Yeah,it's difficult to transfer the weight of your body to the rear tyre's inner contact patch via weighing the inside footpeg on most Indian bikes..dunno about the R15 .
    Like killer says,concentrate on pushing against the fuel tank with the outside leg to get the lean.

    On the outside leg / knee on the tank, the inner leg should be free to move around, the knee on the road is just a feeler to gauge lean angle.

Is it the knee on the road that supports the body? I just don't get it because the position is one sided, where the inner foot doesn't have any base to support the body's weight except the road. :|

    on a 90 degree corner you need a speed of around 55 to put your knee down

    its not about height im 170cms , its about correct position and carrying good speed

    I got a height of 180cms (I guess its 5'11"). And I also got an R15. Only thing missing is the courage to do that!

    Being tall would surely help in touching down, but I believe it has more to do with technique than ANYTHING else. I really wish I could do such antics.

    @Russian: Could you please ask Harry what was the speed that he was carrying while entering the turn? This does prove that the stock tyres are not as bad as I thought them to be!
