QUICK NOTE: Because I used short "Training Discs" for my course, it's clear that I would not have had clearance in certain sections had the cones been regulation Traffic cones, and definitely would have killed some with my saddlebags. The key takeaway is tracking the techniques I employ in a given area. The "best" path of travel will always be dictated by quick but clean, penalty free bike positioning. When I practice with full-sized cones, they dictate my path to the degree that I don't strike any (OK maybe sometimes!) ALSO- When I walk you through the course, I state both the 1st and the 2nd circle is "clockwise." In fact the 2nd circle is counterclockwise on 1st pass and clockwise on return- as marked and demonstrated

The version of the Capital I learned on is very similar, but not the same. Only difference is at the end of the offset there is a small exit gate you have to get out of on the far wall, which would be a right turn out of the pattern. This one goes back left into the figure 8 again. The difficulty with the one I do is by the time you get to the last offset you are hugging the right wall, making the right exit difficult unless you have perfect setup on each offset.

Newer motor here for RSO. Foreign concept for me to trail the front brake during these! We just set up a crazy ass cone pattern that I want to master. Wasn't actually made for the R1250RT, think it was made for smaller naked bikes honestly, but you know cops lol. Next training day I'm going to try trailing the front a little too.

It's subtle, but definitely plants the front end, loads and calms the suspension a bit, helps you fall into full-lock...Go easy with the technique and give time to get the feel for it. For me its a game changer.

Can elaborate more how to do clutch pop. Is it with using throttle with slipping the cluch, or preloaded throttle and just slipping the clutch?

Here is a link to my "Clutch Pop" video, which will explain and demo the technique: kzitem.info/news/bejne/t6Z50Xykf5ugeWU Essentially when you ride tight motor patterns, you are slipping the clutch in a measured and consistent manner so the bike has power to the rear wheel, the motor has good RPM's (around 2800-3000), and the clutch is slipping. Usually you can listen to the engine and hear a steady "hum" of the motor, indicating you have good, steady throttle as you ride with the clutch semi-engaged and slipping. "Clutch Pop" is requiring a subtle modification to that steady, smooth- RPM program: When I have my bike in a motor pattern, YES all my descriptions of clutch apply: steady throttle, smooth consistent clutch engagement, nice "hum" of the engine. However, there are a few spots where I want MORE power to the rear wheel, like when I'm in a full-lock lean and want to rapidly transition back to the other direction. In this situation, adding a burst of power to the rear wheel will help lift the bike out of its lean MUCH quicker, saving me time and energy and speeding up my run. So I ever-so-slightly "pop" the clutch out (I use the term POP because you are not simply engaging MORE clutch from that point forward, but rather an instantaneous blast of power, then immediately back to the steady smooth clutch engagement you had before). As for my throttle hand, after really studying my actuation of the throttle when I do this, I would say it DOES sometimes change position to add more RPM at the point I "pop" the clutch, however I believe this has more to do with my executing this trick at times from a slightly lower than ideal RPM at the very moment I "pop" the clutch, rather than needing more RPM every time I use this. In other words, when my RPM's are dialed, I don't need more throttle in order for this to work correctly. But the best balance of clutch/RPM's when doing this is going to vary based on bike and rider; A 300LB guy on a 250cc will need more power (throttle hand/RPM) than a 110LB girl on a 1200cc. SO PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! Keep in mind I don't need instant little blasts of power in every lean over situation, typically only in rapid transitions. That said, think about patterns that require you to make repeated direction changes in full-lock situations (Eliminator for example): your ability to pick the bike up quicker and change direction saves you time and space, which adds up to giving you more room to negotiate the pattern and less overall time inside it. Its very subtle and requires practice to be smooth at momentarily changing your friction zone engagement point then seamlessly locking it back in to the "zen" position you started with. But the rewards are great! THANKS FOR THE QUESTION AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES!

Your rt1200 have the original abs sistem? And i asked if in US the Rtp models Sines old 1150 Till Now have abs or not? Thanks Nice vídeos 👍👍

Yes- Original ABS, all civilian and police models have ABS standard, not sure if newer RTP models (2018+) have different ABS system. I've heard conflicting information but not played around with the newer platform as far as ABS goes.

Strange question , could you give the spacing between cones for us to setup a similar course to practice on... As in the UK we don't have much of this technical riding competition.. kind regards Steve

You can find the "Capital" pattern and many more here: www.conepatterns.com/. Purchase a roller-type measuring device ($20 bucks at hardware store) grab some chalk and use some "sports discs" to lay out the course (I carry a 50-pack on the bike). I can carry everything on the bike when I head out to my training area, which makes it simple. I do have a few collapsible regulation-sized cones to use for key tight spots to keep me honest, but it's not crucial. Let me know if you have any more questions, HAVE FUN!
