I did a search and couldn't find anything on this. It may seem like a dumb question, but it's something that I just noticed and am wondering if anybody actually knows the correct answer.
Which peg are you supposed to put the most pressure on when cornering (inside or outside)?
I put most of my weight on my inside leg; so much that I can basically take my outside leg off of the peg while cornering. This weekend I asked a priveteer racer in superbike why Rossi and the like would take their leg off while breaking for a corner; he said outside leg, but I don't know if he was just drunk or what. After watching the races I noticed that some of the GP racers will have their foot off the peg all the way into the corner, and sometimes even move their inside foot around mid corner. This would tell me that most of their peg pressure is through the outside leg.
Have I been doing this wrong the whole time? I can corner just fine, but if I'm doing it wrong I'm sure I have great room for improvment.
Thanks - matt
