Heya

Been doing some trackdays for a while now, and i still find that my posture sucks, mostly because i cant get my knee right, its always in some funky and wierd position... any ideas?

As you can see, mere seconds later im dragging the skin of my suit, not my slider, its totally off.

If its not my positioning thats sucking then im thinking too hight footpegs (unlikely, its stock..) or wrong size suit (it fits me fine really) putting the slider in wrong position?


Had same problem with my old kawi, the angle is completely off:

Im also thinking it might be my boots, TCX Torsion system prevents me from twisting my ankle at all causing my foot stick out like that.

Thanks ill try that, could put some foam between me and the tank and see if that would keep me from touching the tank all the time :thumbup
 
Looking at the photo it's hard to tell but do you have the footpeg in the middle of your foot, ie by the heel? Get your toes on the peg, that'll determine a more acute angle and help with bike control too.

Its somewhere between, you can see here:

I could try moving my feet further back on the pegs but it starts to feel a bit unstable if i go too far / risk my feet slippin off the peg.
