First of all let me say that I know practice makes perfect. But still, some opinions and guidelines from the masters would be appreciated for a novice driver with a new and very fast new toy. Basically the issue is with track or mostly fast riding at tight coyntry roads with track suitable gear.

I'm wearing Sidi Vortice boots which are great but limit the range of motion quite a lot. And limited range of motion causes a lot of problems with shifting. With these boots I often hit neutral between 1 and 2 gears. Also shifting between other gears up is lot less smoother than with normal city boots. Could raising the shift lever perhaps help or I'm I the only one dealing with this kind of issue? Should I ditch Sidi's and use something less restrictive?

Another question is related to hard acceleration from start and clutch use. On normal acceleration the speed ain't so big so that I can easily use my whole hand to engage the clutch. However on full acceleration through 1,2,3,4 gears I don't feel confident on using my whole hand for the clutch operation because basically I then loose the "grip" on my left hand from the steering bar. So then I have used only two fingers for the clutch which means it painfully hits my two little fingers and also, may prevent clutch from fully releasing and thus also cause the problems above with shifting. Also adjusting the clutch farther causes then problems with short fingers.

So what kind of technique would be the "best" for hard accelerations? Shorty clutch-lever with little bit farther adjustment, somehow supporting yourself on the bike even the left hand isn't gripping anything or something else?

Then lastly SD and the "restless" steering on speeds above 160km/h. I get small headshake on the steering on faster speeds and full acceleration and it gets worse if the road ain't so smooth (country). What helped some was to lie down on the tank so that you could grip the steering bar more lightly so that there isn't so much pressure on that. Anything else to check? tyre pressures are recommended ones as well as the suspensions setups on both front forks. Perhaps the steering damper could calm things little bit?

Please guide me o' mighty ones.

easy answer, lighten off your grip on the bars... build up your core strength muscles and hold onto the bike with your thighs... it will fix all these issues up instantly. And make sure all head, and fork leg bolts are correctly torqued... and dont listen to how much klink tells you to torque your head bolt.

when riding for more stability on the bike put most of your weight on the outside peg... this will help you loosen your death grip of the bars

an read a copy of 'twist of the wrist 2'... trust me it will transform the way you ride

as for the sidi's what type are we talking? If they are sidi dirt bike boots, get road boots (dirt bike boots are not designed for precision shifting). I have the most restrictive road boost that sidi makes (vortice) and do not cause any issues what so ever.. in fact shift feel is improved. It is not a big deal to raise or lower the shift lever by shortening or lengthening the shift rod to suit... 2 min job.

Same boots here, Vortices. I was googling around and found few same complaints and reasons: New boots and shift lever too low. So I will adjust the lever and break in the boots. That problem solved.

Regarding the twist of the wrist I have watched the film on that, will need to watch it again then.

And for the core as you said, I have been trying to do that but sometimes there's just not enough concentration on faster speeds to do everything at the same time. So more practice also in everyday traffic and riding then with that.

For the clutch I think I just try small adjustment and perhaps some shorty levers if needed.

Thanks a lot mate!

As they said: don't grip the bars tightly it causes all sorts of problems.
The ToTW video is OK but its just a taster really. As above: buy a copy of Twist of the Wrist Part 2.
BTW: who needs the clutch to shift up anyway?

stop trying to go so fast then... start off slow... ride within your upper limits of your comfort level... you dont want to ride above 75% of your ability... your body will freeze up and make stupid mistakes... like tightening up on the bars, using brakes mid corner, etc...

you will start to find a groove, thats when you improve
