I've read a bit about weighting one of the pegs whilst cornering. Which one are you supposd to weight? If you're going round a left hand bend, would you weight the right or left peg?
:confused:

not sure of the official answer, but for me i weight the inside peg going in to the bend(left peg in your example) with a bit of countersteer, fairly neutral on the pegs in the middle of the bend(ie, weight both pegs evenly) and then the outside peg(right) when i start to wind the power on coming out of the bend.

i don't know if it's right or not but it works for me, the bike handles predictably when i ride it this way.

hope it helps.
