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!😉

Since everyone writes this, it's necessary, I suppose 🤷, so here we go. Disclaimer: Ride at your own risk, you are responsible for your own safety. 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!

    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.

    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!! 👍🏻

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
