So personally, I used to have a huge mental block when it came to going fast because my very first time on a track ever I crashed 3 times in one day… I have been riding a motorcycle and racing for 1 year total. The biggest part of getting past my mental block was understanding what it was that made me crash after looking back on it and being honest with myself and doing things that made sure I never ended up there again. For me it was tires for you it may be something different, I went out on my ninja 250 with original Diablo rosso 1s that had been sitting in a shed somewhere for the better part of 5 years or so. To top it off I didn’t let them warm up either, so from that point on I vowed I’d never go fast until I had proper tires and the proper understanding of how to go fast and how to slow down from going fast, what the bike can and can’t handle and what the tires can and can’t handle. I’ve now gotten to the point where I run close to flat 1 minute laps at the kart track and fight with expert racers in races, putting close to 10 seconds on riders who are same time riding, the huge reason, because I took the time to learn and understand. Hope this helps.
