Perfect BODY POSITION In 8 Minutes

[@MotoJitsu]

Want to get your knee down? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZrHimh3pNV1nMU

[@akvstudio4967]

leg dangling is too push the rear down when hard braking. usually in race. that's what professional racer do. because sometimes you're too fast and you need to brake hard.

[@tristandowning5609]

In the linked video you said to get the whole body position first then turn. In this video you say you get your body position as you turn. Your two videos contradict each other.

Thks,Greg. U're absolutely a wealth of info for those of us that haven't been able to take formal courses yet.

[@MyNameisStorm]

Even after formal courses, still tons of info that isn't covered in the courses.

[@horrible1083]

exactly the information i have been looking for. riding a 67 Norton, trying to get a method sorted, here it is. off to practice, cheers mate.

[@leuconxyz]

This improved my turns significantly, thank you MJ 🥇

[@maxwell9734]

That is so much different than a dirt bike . In motocross, when you're coming out of a turn, (Hairpin) you'd bring your body up first, but most times, you're nearly stopped anyway, so it really doesn't matter... Traveling at higher speed on pavement changes everything! I'm new to street riding and this is extremely valuable information! I'm not 'racing', on a track but, just riding on the state roadways and county road at forty to seventy mph. Learning to get your speed down quickly and roll through the various corners without losing a good line. Staying in my lane, and keeping complete control of the bike. Street tires and wet pavement make me nervous. I've laid down a Dirt bike a bunch of Times. But, I don't want to lay down my Drz'😅. Thanks for taking the time to do this, Greg! Greatly appreciated 👍

[@lakaiskates8064]

Check out a channel called Moto Control and his video titled 'HOW TO use your BODY WEIGHT properly on Motorcycle' Threw all the mystique of body position out the window and drove home the fundamentals behind it for me.

Great presentation. It's a process, knowing the "what" to do cuts learning curve significantly. Thanks MJ

[@dkalir]

Fantastic teaching! Knowledge plus great instruction = motojitsu. Thanks for another great lesson!

[@MattCantSpeakIt]

having a good position helps so much... I have returned to motorcycles last year after a decade of hiatus. I was never THAT confortable before, but I have a very light and low powered bike now (ninja 400) and I have the financial means to not care that much about it, so I tried to learn how to actually ride the thing, and get more confortable with its limits, how to move my body, etc. I've gotten so much better as a rider recently! I'm MUCH more comfortable in turns. Body position + keep your eyes where you want to go, not on what you're scared of crashing into... Makes miracles! I'm getting a Ninja 1000SX next week. I wanted the goodies like quickshifter and cruise control, I just hope I won't regret my 400, cause I'm really not changing for a lack of love for the 400! This bike is amazing! (I'm still debating not selling it and keeping both actually XD). The added weight is what I'm the most scared of, I love the feel of the lightweight 400! The 1000SX is a solid 150 lbs heavier!

Excellent advise for the race track, but if you have to corner like that on a public road you are driving too fast.

[@patrickmba7638]

Obviously.

[@onerider808]

Love the idea of using the bicycle to demo, and amazed how similar dirtbiking and MTB riding principles are.

[@cpuuk]

I was watching a video yesterday of a Pro rider, they filmed a lot of it from behind the rider, so if you want to see everything MJ has mentioned here, go look for 'guy martin rotary bike'.

[@luciomammino1916]

Thank you, excellent advice. I think this is more appropriate for racing than street driving. Even if I use body position I rarely exit a corner and go to full throttle.

[@raymadani270]

You are a gift, Greg.

[@Kwikasfuki007]

Great info complete with practical and easy to comprehend visuals. Good job! 🐺

[@antoliv2668]

In this case are you counter steering to initiate the leaning?

[@MotoJitsu]

You always counter steer

[@antoliv2668]

​@@MotoJitsuThank you very much. It would really help if you could add some kind of graphics of handle bar angle, brake force and lean angle over time on some of your amazing demonstrations.

[@kramnam4716]

Such wonderful enthusiasm. 👏🙏🏼💚

[@MikeBasile]

The start of this video can't be stressed enough. This stuff only applies to on the track or if you're going moderate to fast speed on open road twisties. For someone like myself, who is commuting on urban roads, I'm counter-balancing 95% of the time.

[@ChrisinVietnam]

There's a bit of body positioning used in his explanation for how to u-turn at slow speeds. He uses his body as a counter-weight as the bike tips, otherwise it'll topple at the low speeds with handle bars turned full lock.

[@NoNonsense_01]

Counter balancing is appropriate for slow speed maneuvers. Leaning and body position, although not the first priority, is a good technique for anything higher than slow speed turns.

[@David..]

Very helpful thank you sir.

[@oscr_zen]

a video on counterleaning?

[@vladimirfrolov1440]

Great explanation, but when I start braking my body tend to move forward. How can I prevent this? What I'm going on the track and I know this is wrong I'm lift my upperbody to act as a parachute but I still hold bike's tank with my inner knee. When I finish braking I stick out the inner knee and start leaning into the corner. I can not stick with bike while I'm braking. Can you give me a tip if your please?

[@psyclone63]

You aren’t strapped on the bike, so the mass of your body will continue to want to move forward as you slow the bike. A technique I learned in Champ School is “brake lighter, longer.” Apply just 1-2% brake pressure well before the turn. As you transition to braking fully, you should have more control.

[@nicktdm5703]

Get tank pads and use thighs to grip, take weight off wrists and tuck elbows

[@patrickmba7638]

@@nicktdm5703 Nope. His question is HOW to keep from sliding forward WHEN braking. That's when you want to be upright to use your body as a p'chute to slow the bike down. No elbow tucking then.

[@sergsrt8]

Are u also counter steering to help the bike lean or only using body position to lean the bike? A mix of both???

[@MotoJitsu]

counter steering is how the bike leans period...body does little to nothing kzbin.info/www/bejne/bofUiXV3Yth6fqM

[@layooyewusi681]

This is sow sweet... too many people lean the bike rather than their body. The body leans and the bike follows. Then the bike stands and the body follows. Your weigh displacement is what makes the bike turn... not the bikes lean angle.

[@italipino24]

Thank a lot man this was great

[@arielariola1463]

I don’t ride but I’m going to be soon. Are you counter steering to get the bike to lean and how do you get the bike upright after the turn?

[@tjey379]

I have been waiting for this and it is timely since I hope to be reunited with my bike this week and I always love to know whether body positioning helps turn the bike or is it used to stabilise the bike? Thanks.

[@patrickmba7638]

Body position is a tool used mostly for fast paced cornering.

[@DailyDrivenMotorbike]

Hey, great video! When you braking... butt need to be closer to gass tank or pushing more back? Tnx

[@mushintao9486]

So, before we brake, we always sit a little back first, am I right?

[@Thorsten_Kueppers]

Very good tutorial! 👍🏻 You have to be a bit sporty and flexible to move on the bike like this, don‘t you? A big „beer & bbq“ belly does not help that much 😂

[@soccerdad93446]

I like your shoes, who makes them?

[@RyguyIQ]

4 things I learned - get the bike straightened out before you get your butt in middle of the seat when coming out the corner -turn hips, head , shoulders and body in general towards where your turning -the faster you move your butt to the left or right the faster the bike wants to lean -when you break stand tall and as you’re trail braking start leaning in, but your butt still has to be on half the seat, lmk if I missed anything

[@MotoJitsu]

3rd point...moving your butt left or right doesn't do much...you move your butt before you get on the brakes but however fast you want the bike to lean, that's what your upper body is for instagram.com/motojitsuclub/

[@RyguyIQ]

@@MotoJitsu fs thanks

[@stevensonpericles262]

Thank you sensei! Sincerely

[@Geo_Okami]

How to transition fast smooth and safe from one side to another if it's a right then left turn or vice versa?

[@patrickmba7638]

My two cents would be to go half butt cheek one way straight to opposite but cheek. No need to fully sit on bike during transition. Also, use legs to accomplish that. Not handle bars.

[@saltytech5546]

Im going to have to hit the gym and get my leg exercise on.

[@keaneu4456]

Very informative, enjoyed this content.

[@tysonthethird2940]

So now u saying turn the bike with body position. What happens with the turn with counter steering..Im so confused

[@patrickmba7638]

You're still counter steering,most definitely. Full body position is just to keep the lean angle of the bike to the possible minimum for fast paced cornering. The idea is to lean body MORE than bike for increased safety.

[@boatbyrd]

Greg, am I correct that I notice no front brake on your casuistry bicycle????? Oh the Irony!!!! 😂😂😂

[@ozziejim8472]

I was told by instructors here in Australia, never drop your knee in a turn on public roads. Public roads are full of lumps and bump and one day, you’re gonna smash your knee. Maybe roads are better in the US?

[@patrickmba7638]

Bro, at no point was there a recommendation to drag knee on public roads.

Correction, no brake on your “casual” cruiser bicycle>. Maybe I just can’t see it. If I had one caliper brake set on my bike, its my front. YOU KNOW! 😊😊😊

[@왕철수토루]

[@Dani231184]

Once you’re leaned over, do you seat on your half butt cheek or its floating over the seat and most of the weight is on your foot tips?

[@Ro6entX]

Generally speaking the weight is on inside peg once your half cheek; Distance from tank to groin is about fist length and I could be wrong and hopefully he replies but from best I can gather is if you’re leaning over and butt is hovering, could mean the distance from tank to groin is too far.

[@freeagent8225]

My GF also gives me advise on this topic😅.

[@jasondavis4421]

I dont know about all this, the problem I have is finding a corner sharp enough on public street to apply the whole ass off knee down thing. A little knee or a slight shift of my ass is all I can manage..this full body stuff and my bike just dives in so hard I have to basically miss the corner and turn back into it to ride out the corner with full body technique..I dont know what the fck! I look like a full coming into a 90 degree intersection late on the turn at 50 mph just to practice this crap

[@patrickmba7638]

You're joking, right? You're looking to practise full body position on a public road?!

[@rickyricardo9918]

6:10 "You have to time your body" Not really. Getting off the bike doesn't command a turn. Getting off the bike results in a quicker response to counter steering inputs & those benefits from a less extreme lean angle. Just set up in advance so you don't inadvertently upset the bike. Forget about the parachute stuff unless you're behind a fly screen & doing triple digits.
