To control your motorcycle well, you should:

When riding, keep your knees against the gas tank to help maintain your balance in turns. Sit so that you can use your arms to steer rather than to prop yourself up. Sit far enough forward that your arms are slightly bent when you hold the handgrips, and keep your feet firmly on the footrests.

• Sit with your arms propping you up rather than steering.
• Keep your knees against the gas tank for balance.
• Allow your feet to hang off the footrests.
• Sit so far back that you must stretch to reach the handgrips.
