How do you lock in the tank on a supermoto? i still dont know...
Thank you for releasing more content!!!!
Thanks for the video π Nice RS-250. I had one not that long ago, it was in very good condition- i wish i kept it π
Love your stuff β¦. Small suggestion if I may ? Use more pauses to create some space in your words. Itβs like you speak with no punctuation. Putting it in will help give the points time to sink in - and make them clearer too.
I practice the same inner foot but the more heal outside foot style. I feel more locked in that way. I also really like the foot twist to lock in too. But be careful and make sure your bike has enough clearance from the chain and exhaust before twisting the foot in.
Thanks Mike, that was exactly what i needed to know. Cheers Steve.
Right or wrong I know when I ride through continuing curves with low to fast speed and using from 2nd to 5th gear many times I will always be faster between changing gears when my foot is near to the gear lever.I tried many times both ways and the result is that the "right foot position " as all the instructors and youtubers saying doesn't work for me.Maybe on motogp and sbk maybe is more right at the weight balancing using footpegs but God shake we are not racing at the streets!My 2cents.
The heel of my foot is on the right peg. I drop my toes down to apply the rear brake. But it's usually uncomfortable to have the heel down and the toes raised up high while riding.
On the track on the straights and when I accelerate on the road and move my body back and get fully tucked, I have my feet on the heels so I can be steady when changing gears. And also to have traction to not move back and pull the handlebars, or else I get wobbly. On the corners inside foot like the second example and outside foot on heel, except if there is a next corner coming in the other direction. On daily commute same thing, but feet more backwards on the straight like on the second example.
Not sure I completely agree. But I'll give it a shot on my ride home tonight. Update not hard to mover on the bike much at all on my heels although I always ride with boots on so I lock my foot peg in-between the heel and toe until cornering then I move slightly towards the toe.
No "looking this damn good" ? Sad noises
Thx, i am a beginner and i had problems with foot position
The beard suits you well, Mate ^^ Also great explanation π
Thanks brother from India
I always wanted a motorcycle ποΈ like this. Notes taken!
Make a video on your rs250 pls!!!
Hi Mike, Broke the bone that protrudes on the outside of your ankle... Coming from 35 years of riding and a few years of track riding road machines like FZs, R6s and R1s. But I am no expert on supermoto. Also, I would expect that requirements for equipment between motocross and supermoto are not exactly the same. The bone is the fibula. The fracture occurred when at low speed in a very tight turn, I lost it during supermoto. My foot was wedged between the bike and the pavement. The protruding bone at the ankle dribbled with the bike weight over the pavement. I felt the crack. I was in full gear but wearing sports bike boots. These did not offer the right protection for this type of situation. Apart from a plastic outer shell the impact point included almost no cushioning. But here is (partly) what went wrong. At times, my sports bike boots were offering too much grip on the pavement when extending my foot forward in the corners. The solution was to bend my leg more. It caught and got wedged when I lost the front while leaning in too much. Would motocross boots have offered greater protection in this case? Would they have offered less grip or otherwise more means to slide the sole over the pavement? I can imagine that boots used for supermoto would benefit from grip on the pegs, while also wear resistance and replaceable slide patches made from soft metal or nylon at the sole. Any advice? What boots might have offered more protection and better permit to slide the sole over pavement?
thanks for the info sirπππ
Noobie here. Scraped the whole side of my foot today in a corner. Scary moment forsure π
