Re: Fishtailing

There are many reason can cause fishtail. Traction control can help you preventing slide cause by excess power on rear wheel. There are cases you tail can go over even your right foot isn't on padel. Depends on how fast you toss yourself into corner, how hard you are braking.... One thing for sure if you had VDC on, it wasn't because your lead foot during cornering.

Re: Fishtailing

The VDC has worked pretty well for me. There is a bunch of construction near my office, so the roads are pretty muddy. The rain makes the roads extra slick and I've triggered the VDC with some over enthusiastic (aka. stupid) tricks. Seems to work pretty well.
Out of curiosity, did you 1) let off the gas or 2) stay on the gas or 3) hit the brakes???
