Lot's of front end tuck ins. That's what I did 2 weeks ago racing. Of course no where near their speeds. At least I know the Pro's do it as well, but still doesn't answer my question as to why it happens when your (I'M) not trail braking. The rain is pretty mush a no brainer. |

Too little preload on the front... Not enough spring on the front... Too much rebound damping, too little compression damping (but too much can as well)... chopping the throttle... Forks too far up in the triples (ride height too low)... Available traction change on the front or an increase of traction at the rear all of a sudden (that ones less common because usually the front tire is already on the part of the tarmac that gives more grip...). Essentially... It's when you overload the available front traction. |

Rocco, I know I did this once awhile ago. It's also possible to 'look' yourself into a lowside. If you're looking at the apex of a corner, and continue to fixate on that point, you'll end up there...but on your ear sliding on the pavement. M1 made some good points too, you might want to double check all your suspension settings (ie. rider sag, free sag...etc) |

I'm in the process of doing that Greg. I think that may be one of the factors. |
