actually when I made that post, I learned complete u-turns in two days. I was kinda nervous, considering people went down before. fortunately, it wasn't my case, I can turn the bars full-lock on either side, and feather the clutch and gas. I never use brakes, because that can lead to disaster, if you brake little too much while fully lock in either direction, chances are you'll go down. on my left side u-turn, I managed to learn that if I simply put my right foot on peg, and leave the left one on the ground for balance turning, I can lean the bike faster. the right-hand u-turn just feels unnatural, since the balance of the foot, clutch is far away, and throttle is sticking to gas tank, harder for me to control.
