This is a new concept for me. Seems like there are some instructors and riders that recommend keeping on the balls of your feet on the footpegs vs. the arch of the foot. I guess the idea is you can more easily keep your knees against the tank and control your body’s center of gravity on the bike.
Riding in this manner requires moving the feet to brake and or shift, then returning the ball of the foot after. I tried this today and I can say that it is relatively comfortable and seems to lend toward better posture and maybe even better control of the bike in turns, etc.
It was a little weird feeling though, as I am used to just turning my foot right where it is on the pegs and shifting/braking. This is going to require some practice to get the muscle memory down and keep it smooth if I continue with this technique.
Anybody out there ride this way on their S10? Wondering if this is a skill worth developing or not. Thanks.
