I searched and read some other posts about people dragging their foot before knee. I do it all the time, but I notice it and make sure my boots are right up against the side of the bike (not duck foot) but, they are still dragging... maybe I just have to stick my knee out further? Or could it be that my boots are too far forward on the peg? I have them right where the peg is on the arch of my foot... any other suggestions? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

by arch of your foot do you mean the middle arch?

basically you need to just relax more, get your ass off the seat more, and lean forwards when you enter the turn. as for your knee just kind of let it float out there all limp you do not want to be stiff knee'd if and when you do touch since it will then act like a lever

Try positioning your Big ass feet so your toes are closer to the pegs... http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/flipa.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif That should help.. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Yes, sounds like you need to move your foot further back, on the ball of the foot and all the way in on the peg. Look closely and notice how there's still maybe ½" between my foot and the ground despite the lean in this pic:

yep just lower that shoulder and lean forwards a little more and you'll find that your arms and the rest of you will be really relaxed, and before you know it you'll notice faster speeds through the turns http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
