It’s important to understand that superb throttle control correlates with your riding position.
Throttle control has been a popular topic of late in our Riding Skills Series. Andrew Trevitt described how small throttle openings settle a bike’s chassis in the May ’10 issue, for instance, and then more recently discussed throttle percentages and corner exits in the March ’13 issue. In both cases we briefly referenced abrupt throttle inputs, but did not elaborate on how on/off/on transitions can affect traction limits and lap times. Here, in contrast, we’ll take a closer look at how throttle control can minimize the chances of a highside crash, reduce lap times and make any given corner less work.
