Owlie, these are the five reasons one typically runs wide:
1) Trying to make the turn at too high a speed (unlikely, unless you’re scraping hard parts)
2) Not turning hard enough (e.g., afraid to lean more, not putting enough force on the bars, inadvertently leaning your upper body away from the turn, etc.)
3) Not turning in fast enough, i.e, taking too long to get the bike from upright to turned in (if you’re running wide before the apex)
4) Turning in too early (if you’re running wide on the exit)
5) Rolling on too much throttle on the way out
Do you think you might be doing any of these?
