almost lowside on BMW S1000R, TC saves me

[Woody146]

Score one for electronics.:thumbup TC saved my ass one time on my old K1600GT. Good feeling not being on the pavement.

TC has saved my ass the last 3 rides on Mines Rd :thumbup

Sure that just wasn't the tire catching after a front slide?
The lean angle did not appear on the video to be very extreme. I have had a similar experience just recently on my ktm (no traction aids at all).

Either way. Good save, whoever takes te credit.

Glad you didn't crash

Looks like you cut the throttle and then after the bump you got back on too soon before weight transferred back giving the rear enough grip

I'm not exactly sure. I think the tc kicked in and cut throttle or I may have done it. It was so fast it's hard to tell. Just glad I didn't lowside and end up in that dirt wall. Thankfully I was wearing my agv one piece (shout out to KTM Ken!)

Front tire never lost traction, just rear. Front just wobbled back and forth. Ohlins damper on high help on that one I think

I think i hit a slick spot in the road or some ice or something right in that spot..im not too sure, but it sure shook me up!

+1 for traction control on a torquey bike. My first ride up mines had a few tc interventions on the FZ-10. I'm a bit used to the slip on the r6 so I know how and when it usually happens.

Here is the video of that full ride

Looks like the TC light on the left side of the dash flashed at the instant the rear slipped. Most likely TC intervention.

More likely to be a banana peel than ice. Is it even near cold enough for an icy patch that time of day?

I rode all over the place in the rain today. Having a slow bike saved me.

:teeth

And that right there is why I hate fucking chip seal pave jobs.

the slomo very clearly shows u adding a good amount of throttle without reducing your lean angle or turning radius. u might have even added more lean angle during that addition of throttle. thats y the rear tire slid, not some slick patch of asphalt.

Lets spice up this thread

1) what tires are you running?
2) whats your tire pressures
And why not
3) what type of oil are you running in your bike?

i don't know why the popcorn, it's obvious rider error

 

[amazighlol]

OP, in case you don't know.. You are riding a powerful bike. It has nothing to do with ice lmao.
