So I have what is probably a really simple and dumb question. The SDR (990) is my first modern high power street bike. Most of my time is on dirt bikes and vintage street bikes. I've just recently started going to my local track, 2 trips now. What I've noticed is that I have a hard time applying full throttle to the SDR because I run out of wrist rotation. I've been thinking about this and would like to know if there is a proper technique? I don't have this problem on my dirt bike (300XC 2 stroke), I think because smoothness is so much less of a priority which makes it easy to regrip the throttle really fast when I need to. On the track if I hold the grip in the position that gives me good control of initial opening through midrange I find that I end up in this uncomfortable elbow down position when trying to apply full throttle. So what's the trick? Get used to riding with my wrist cocked up at closed throttle? Do you open your hand a little and roll the throttle back that way? Thanks for any input. I really want to make the jump from really slow to just pretty slow, and I think more throttle will help!
