just read totw 2 as mentioned in other thread
finally got to go out today and try some of the stuff but what im having prob with is the pivot point it says while you are hanging off ya bike to put weight onto the outside peg, the prob i have is that with all my weight on the inside i tend to be using the unside peg to carry most of my weight
it feels alot more stable and i felt alot smoother doing this and forcing myself not to roll off the throttle and run smoother through the corners
is this normal and if not what can i try to correct it

I think to get it to work you have to be using your outside leg as one of the points you are hanging onto the bike with. From what I've read they don't teach it at the Superbike School till the level 3, so it's probably worth getting some of the other stuff sorted and worry about that one later.

It really is one of those last 1% things.
And Brouggy even says when he's delivery that part of his speech, "this only works for some people, not everyone"
It shouldn't be all your weight on the outside peg, just "more" weight than otherwise would naturally be.

Maty's on the money. Weighting the outside peg is something which may benefit you if you are at lap record pace. Even then it's a debatable topic with some fast guys claiming it's horseshit and others who swear by it. Once you're a second or so from the lap record,try it and let me know what you think!

That would indicate you're hanging off too far for the lean angle and/or speed you're carrying through the corner.
