What is the suggested position for your feet when riding?

The suggested position for your feet when riding is to place them on the foot pegs, with your knees squeezed against the tank. This stance provides several advantages for the rider’s control and stability. By keeping your feet on the foot pegs, you maintain a secure connection with the motorcycle, allowing for better balance and maneuverability. Squeezing your knees against the tank helps to keep your body aligned with the bike, which is crucial for absorbing shocks from the road and enhancing your overall control during turns and while navigating different terrains.

Additionally, this position helps with weight distribution, allowing the rider to shift their weight more effectively, which is essential for cornering and stability, especially during braking or sudden maneuvers. In contrast, resting your feet flat on the ground or hanging loosely would not provide the necessary support and engagement with the motorcycle, leading to decreased control and responsiveness. Similarly, placing your feet on the frame does not offer the same level of balance and control that the foot pegs do.
