HOW TO use your BODY WEIGHT properly on Motorcycle
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
How can we use our body weight properly? How exactly moving our body on the bike can improve our traction, cornering, braking and accelerating, how can it help us to swerve around road obstacles and how can it help us to react faster in blind corners? This and much more we’ll learn in this video. By the way, I looked around the KZread and I think this will be the first video out there which explains all the body position systematically, not just one single aspect, like only counterbalancing, or only hanging off, or whatever. This is wider, more general video. So let more people watch it, put a like right now!

On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Me, Andrey Bodrov and my channel, Moto Control disclaim any liability incurred in connection with the use of riding techniques from this channel. Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!

Out of skateboard, bmx, in-line skating, fixed gear cycling, car driving; motorcycle still brings the most joy and euphoric feeling.
I have always cornered in neutral position, people make fun of me, but I always go faster in the corners. Sure I don't look like a MotoGP racer on the street but it just shows that just because it works in racing, that doesn't mean it will necessarily work in the streets. I will recommend this channel to anyone who asks me about riding/cornering. Great video, I know this is many months late but keep up the good work.
Today i got my A class licence, i was having trouble in right U turns.. I watched your right U turn almost 50 times at 11:13 and passed the exam 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you so much for everything!!!
Hi Andrey, I am a fellow trainer in Australia and I absolutely love your work and often refer my students to your videos. Your videos are full of great information explained in an easy to understand and often very humorous way. Keep up the fantastic work.

I made 2600 km on my first bike ever in 6 days. I was starting to discover all those things by myself, but I doubted if my thinking was correct. This video gives me the confidence that what I'm doing is correct and gives me additional information about what I could be doing to improve. I'm very, very grateful for this video. Love your channel!
I'm a complete noob to riding and I have to stay this is the most educational youtube page out there. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
One of the best ‘sales pitches’ for ongoing learning, regular practice, and carefully-adjusted ergos. If a rider truly wants to increase the enjoyment of riding, these are way more important than fancy tunes and expensive slip-ons.
This is the best motorcycle instruction channel on YT bar none. I’m a U.K. motorcycle instructor and tell all my students to take a look at this channel.
Finally someone made this... So many misconceptions out there, your body position is a tool in your arsenal, not a "this is what you have to do every time" sort of thing.
The best explanations I ve seen so far. Explaining what, why, how, when, where, & how much, of leaning etc. Most self designated experts never talk about weight of the bike or where is the trick applicable - race track, normal road or off-road. Keep up the good work bro.
Moto Control = Best motorcycle content on KZread!
I think i inherently learned all this body position when I was a kid and have a lot of ride time on a bicycle. I think they have the same concept, and when using the motorcycle now I have an idea how my body position influences the motorcycle. Great vid!
Great job! I have often heard about leaning one's body in turns, and I have often heard that one could lean into the turn when going fast, and lean outward during slow-speed maneuvers, but nobody has ever explained the WHY behind it as well as this video. I have been riding for a long time, and I have been implementing these elements, but today was an AH-HA-moment for me - this concept was made very clear to me - big thanks!! I understand it now to the point that I think I could also explain it to a new rider. Keep it up, man!! 👍🏻
Ryan F9 did a vid covering this as well. You, Ryan and canyon chasers are the only people I listen to on yt. So much bad info out there. Thank you for your good work!

Single best video on this topic I've seen on KZread so far and I've see a lot on turning
Unlike most channel who dig into the topic right away, It's good that you warn beginner not to focus on body position first because i did that and struggle a lot in the process.
That 3rd pic where the riders body hangs on the side of the bike is Enea Bastianini of Gresini Ducati (motgp) riding style with lesser lean angle on the bike but his shoulder scrapes on the asphalt.. and that explains why his tire management is so good.
Thank you for the most concise and informative video on this subject. My sister just recently had a close call and I was trying to explain what the body position does to the bike, now I have this video to show her.
The content I was looking for! You are amazing on instructing these skills to the riders, great explanation and visuals 👏
Holy cow, you’re an excellent teacher and very knowledgeable. Thank you.
Aside from useful driving lessons, this video might be one of the best showcase of supermoto bikes. So agile and versatile!
Really good video! Riding for 5 years but this helps fresh up and improve riding skills. Got yourself a new sub mate! Ride safe brothers ✌️
I have been searching for content like this for a while now, greatly appreciate your work!!!
This is such a good video, phenomenal job covering every aspect of body position. So well done, every time I try one variant of a suggested technique I always wonder how it compares to its alternatives so I always go from video to video comparing and contrasting and it's a haggard process. Here everything is all in one and compared and contrasted with each other giving you a much higher level of understanding on each individual techniques applications.
Your tutorials are really spectacular. Straight to the point, perfectly delivered!
I crashed my bike when I initiated a turn when my front wheel was on a piece of white plastic that I did not see as it was on a white turn arrow. I realized that initiating turns by counter steering with the handle bars puts a lateral stress on the front tire traction. Basically initiating turns with the handle bars upsets the balance until the bike leans into turn. To ride smoother and safer on slippery conditions, body leaning is safer; it does not upset the balance and adds no stress to the contact patch traction. It is especially helpful turning when there might be sand or ice on the road. Basically its like riding no hands. Its fun at high speeds. You need to lean your upper body into the corner way before the corner and straighten up or even counter balance before the end. of the corner. Its a lot of fun to practice. I use a throttle rocker which allows a very light touch on bars.
Shared on my Women's Motorcycle Network with close to 1,000 members. Thanks.
Thanks for such a comprehensive review on body position. I really enjoy and learn with every video you make!
A sensible analysis, which is rare in internet presentations on motorcycling. A neutral position for road riding is generally the ideal since one maintains a useful view ahead and a good relationship with all the controls of the bike. Countersteer, as shown in your other video, is the major capability multiplier for motorcyclists, particularly on the road.
Beautifully done. Clear and well-structured. Bravo!
8:23 this is an EXCELLENT demonstration!! Never saw this in another video. This is exactly the comparison i wanted to see.
This is the most informative video on body positioning i have seen!Great work brother!
One of the best, if not the best tutorial I have seen on this topic, mate. Excellent explanations and demonstrations, making it very easy to follow and practise. Very well done, my dear friend.🤘👏
This is a great review, explanation, and demonstration of some of the key fundamentals of riding. Thanks!
Great explanation! Me personally, I just lean my upper body into the corner since having to do full body position requires a lot of effort and isn't really necessary for street riding.
Amazing tutorial...it sums up almost every aspect of motorcycle riding ..keep up the good work!
I needed this tutorial sooo much. This needs to be standard teaching in motorcycle school. This was awesome! Thank you so much for making this
Great job. 👏 You get all aspects covered for this topic!
Nicely produced video. Thanks for clarifying the different turning techniques.
Finding a balance and making the bike part of you. Ride any bike you will learn over time. Great tutorial 🙏
Best explanation I've ever seen....especialy for a beginner rider like me. Great video. Thank you bro!
I have learned all this over the years of riding, but it would be so much easier if they teach all that in courses ;) Great info.
Finally a reasonable leaning explanation! Tnx👍
Great video. Very informative and logical. I always thought it was silly to do the full hang off the bike lean on the road. If you’re going fast enough to need that then you’re going too fast for the road. All techniques are useful in specific scenarios. Thanks again for the clear and detailed explanation.
It was put together so beautifully. Thank you.
Your videos are amazing man. Incredibly informative and very well scripted. Thank you very much and as Turgay said, keep up the good work.

Hey Zac man, I love his videos. I’m a beginner rider and learned a lot from Andrey’s videos and even feel myself much more comfortable on the bike since I watch them.
Those are similar to "mini" bikes here in America 🇺🇸. God bless you and your journeys on the scooters.
Thank you for your informations. All the best for you Andrei and for the russian people! With love from Greece!
Great video ! More complete than lot of others on this subject
Excellent work ! Thank you it's very usefull 👍
Brilliant summary of the variations of body positions. Thank you
After 25 years of dragging my knees on the inside of corners at high speed, one day it occurred to me to try the neutral position, and to my surprise my lap times improved a lot. I think the reason is the better control I have over the bike in this position. Before I was fast, since I used the neutral position none of my old rivals have been able to follow me in the corners, now I overtake them on whichever side I want. I'm under the impression that hanging in corners works for professionals who practice 8 hours a day, but for those of us who run from time to time as amateurs, the neutral position may be better.

Neutral position meaning you lean with the bike without moving your lower body/knee dragging? Thank you.

Great video, thank you! I just started riding and was so confused about that.
Awesome info, very well presented. Thanks mate! Greetings from NZ.
I have either been taught or self-taught in some of the things you mention. However, now I know why and how these things work, it all makes sense and I can use these skills more effectively, thank you. ,
Thank you for an insightful lesson and very intelligent comments !!!

Nice. I learnt about counter leaning last year. I ride a Bajaj Avenger Cruise bike. When I started counter leaning, it felt a lot easier than leaning but the issue is I am only comfortable turning left while counter leaning. Towards right, not so much. 😩 I want to be absolutely confident in riding my bike so I can control it at whatever speed or terrain.
excellent content and excellent explanations
Thanks! Accurate and precious video.
very nice, detailed and refreshing video :) Greeting from germany. Ride safe guys
I have loved every video that you have made. They may just save my life one day🙏

Brilliant! As a beginner this video was excellent for me!
You are really a teacher, thanks
Love your teachings! Thumbs up.. 👍👍
This made me confident enough to take my busa out in the wind and snow and practice!
very good explanation! Cheers!
Nicely done…staying fluid is very important 👍🏼
Very clear thank you. Just need to try and out and put into practice!
Thx for keeping up the good work. Just wanna mention that moving our body is helpful in various situations, not only in motorcycling 😉

Top notch explanations ! New riders must be demystified about full lean position being the optimal/state of the art/whatever technique. For me everything "clicked" when I got on a tall bike and went supermot style. I thought I was using a subpar "scooter" style, but ultimately didn't cared cuz I started getting really fast and secure this way. It's really cool to see that every technique has its use.
Outstanding episode
this video is very informative. "well balanced" from the race track to public road. i love your video sir. thank you. 🤘💪❤️
very nice lecture!! thank you.👍
