s1000rr lowside, did his guy turn off traction control?
- Thread starter SkyRider
- Start date
traction control is not an anti-crashing feature.
He lost traction because he rolled off the throttle and the back end came around.
Traction control on or off would have no bearing on the outcome.
If you watch the tach at :28, there was no increase in engine RPM when the rear went away, meaning he was off the gas.

But shouldnt it have done something when the rear stepped out?
not in this case
the traction control works by preventing wheel spin, in this case it would have done nothing as there was not a wheelspin condition for it to deal with.
Casey stoner doesn't get off the gas.
it's called steering with the rear wheel(all the cool kids do it)
If dude in the vid above had got back on the gas, he'd have been fine as the bike would have started to pick itself up as a result of the increased engine RPM(there's your physics at work) and the traction control would have dealt with any wheelspin condition caused by the application of power.
That's Ma'am to you.
Sometimes, its hard to let go of $30k, and it happens so fast you don't realize what's happened.
I was thinking it would pick up 2 different wheel speeds during the slide....Although now that I think of it more what could it do, accelerate for you to drift out of it..lol no drift function yet
.. meh, thatll buff out.
.. hmmmmmm .. selling it you say

He seemed to be at constant throttle, not letting off the throttle when he crashed. I'm actually surprised it would come around there..... and at that track. It has LOADS of grip. At first I thought he was going to crash on the last corner... easy place to tuck the front end... don't ask me how I know..... I haven't checked but I think my leathers still have a brown streak in them. 
ah... at least I didn't crash.
