How much angle can you put on with this bike on the clean wet ground? 30 degrees lean?

 

[mikeyMarine]

none, you need to be on pavement , this is not a dirt bike it will bite you in wet grass standing straight up especially wet rye grass while chasing cats to amuse girlfriends

 

[Chappy]

I said wet clean ground lol .. That dident mean grass or rye! Ummmm highway please.

 

[Scootereno]

You can lean until the side stand scrapes or body panels scrape.
I estimate close to 45 degrees.

 

[macamxthe1st]

You can easily attain 90 degrees, it's called "CRASHING" .

Thanks fellows. I appreciate the humor to lol! I wasn't very clear with my heading... What i really meant to say was: How far can I lean on wet ground Meaning pavement minus gravel etc on a rainy day , curves etc? Can I get lean and mean or will the tires slip on concrete/asphalt ??

One never knows how much traction one has until one has no traction. Go ahead, experiment, and let us know how far over is too far....

 

[Chatman128]

Totally depends on tires. Manufacturer, model, condition, temperature and pressure all affect it. The only certainty is that traction is less when it is wet than when it is dry. So I always ride more conservatively on wet roads. Am I near the limit when riding on dry roads? Probably not. Probably not near the limit on wet roads either. I just don't want to be that guy to make the call, "Help I've fallen and can't get up."

I've never had any trouble to 45 degrees. I have scraped but its along way over to get it done. For me it's easier to scrape on the right than the left. The center stand is what scraped. I have michelin city grips on the bike and live on one of the curviest roads in Arkansas.

My tires seem very Grippie, I have done some skid tests With the rear brake on wet ground... You see racing motorbikes banking hard all the time in the rain on the race Track so why couldn't a scooter do it... I've had mine down to about 40 degree,s But it makes me tingle lol.... On the right day I want to scrub that stand So I know where we both stand! Tire manufacturers go along way To make sure that rubber is good in the rain, Of course they can control terrain.

 

[DandyDoug]

Hope you are an ATGATT rider otherwise that's gonna leave a mark

By the way, when you do crash please tell me if they have improved the flavor of asphalt , don't ask me how I know what it tastes like

Most Motorcycle tires have about 80% of the dry grip when wet. I know you are not getting the answer you are looking for. It seems most Burgman riders are not Joe Rocket riders. I have never measured the angle.

But I know that when I was accident avoiding on wet pavement and TRYING to go harder left than my normal cornering, I hit the center stand, levered the rear tire up, low sided, then the tire re-caught grip, high sided me into the side of the RED pickup truck followed by my very own Burgman smacking me from behind, squishing me.

 

[Chappy]

Got some good info there Dave. 80 Percent grip wet of dry Gives us an ideal calculus to work with... From my bicycle days, I know I could lay her down pretty good in the curves on Wetground But of course that was avoiding a banana skin And gravel! Lol

 

[CMNrallye79]

This is what the center stand will look like.
