In this weeks Adventure Motorcyle riding tip we will break down on how you can control your ADV bike when riding standing up. Controlling your adventure motorcycle is key when it comes to riding off road and it all starts at the first point of contact with your motorcycle at the foot peg. You have to make sure that you are riding on the balls of your feet in order to be able to grip your adventure motorcycle tight and flex with your ankles instead of your knees.
Our ADV off-road instructor Daniel Sedlak explains step by step on where you need to be on the motorcycle and why.

At 71 years old with hundreds of thousands of on tarmac and many thousands of kilometers of off-tarmac riding, I’m embarrassed to say I’m just learning to (consciously) drop the heels and secure better body positions. However, at 71 years old I’m proud to be still learning. Thanks!
I'm just impressed you are still riding at 71yo. Keep living your best life!
@@hellraiserrec19well said, Uncle’s an inspiration
Totally same with myself...
Regards from Europe, Guenther, T7 rider, age 71...
For many of us adventure riders, we ride hundreds of miles a day off-road. So we spend a lot of time sitting to save energy. A video on how to ride sitting would be helpful.
As a newbie (3 years) riding with more experienced and older riders, I'm nearly always more tired and fatigued than they are at the end of a ride. Watching other videos of riding techniques, I've exaggerated my body position in order to learn these techniques. I suspected that I was wasting my time and you've just proved it Daniel, thank you.
The whole idea of dropping heels instead of any other movement - is the best part!! thnx
When I'm in a standing position I have a problem with the bike jerking me back. I add a tiny bit of throttle and I'm having problem hanging on for my dear life. I squeeze the bike with my knees but 5-10 min of that plus the hanging on to the bars and I have to sit cause I'm dead tired. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Maybe my throttle is too sensitive? I ride the 2013 f800gs. Thanks for your help!!
All braking or throttle decompressions start by leaning back or sitting down, so your body weight isn't thrown forward and loosing control.
Hi thanks for the great tip in this video. Can you also talk about throttle control in off road riding
Even if sedlack kicks out the t7 100 times ... it's the BEST and fundamental video of adv riding!
Never imagined that I can turn by weight changing. Make sense. Can’t wait trying
Great video, thank you. My biggest issue is my handle bars when I stand up. I am not sure how far I need to move them up to have the best throttle and clutch control. I sometimes struggle with closing the throttle when standing as my wrist feels like it's locked. Please could you do a video on best handlebar position for offroad riding when standing without having to put bar risers. I am 6foot. (182cm.) . Thanks again.
Never seen someone explaining the standing position in correlation with steering so briefly and so easy to catch up with. Congrats Sedlak .
I tried the heel drop tip.... that thing is golden!! I never steered so smooth. Thank you!
Glad you tried it and felt how well it works. Definitely a game changer.
pl make a tutorial on downhill gnarly gravel over loose boulders
I'll definitely try this, a little confusing since so many how to videos say that you should weight the outside peg in turns.
I would like yo know more about that too...
Thanks for the tips, really helpful
Great video, thanks
Super helpful. Many Thanx !
Love the tips! You're great at explaining the fundamentals in an easy to comprehend way.
Great video thanks
Really helpful tips
the best tips mate! bring more!
Very informative 👏 Thank you!
This is very cool!! I am new to ADV and dirt riding (just got a 2023 KTM 890 Adventure R four weeks ago!) I am used to road bikes so always on the ball of my feet and today riding along the dirt road I was amazed to find that shifting my weight to the right or left on the foot-pegs with heels down was steering the bike!! I also find that standing on the bike on the balls of my feet with heels down is surprisingly comfortable! When I first got the bike it felt unnatural but after 1500 miles quite a bit of which has been on dirt, it has started feeling completely natural! Thanks for the great videos!!
Congrats on the new bike. The KTM is a lot of fun to ride. Glad you found the video helpful and feel the difference in your riding. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
Ty for the shifting and rear braking explanation
Really good lesson, thank you.
Great tips! I'll be practicing this!
Love your crucial yet small and concise videos.. Very helpful..
Good clips you are producing. Thanks for the advice!
Great video
Such a solid tutorial!
Nice video. Thanks!
Thank you for the great tip's and taking the time to explain how and why they work!
Excellent tips with complete explanation. Great Job.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Very helpful tips. I practice these when riding off road.
Great tip
Thanks for the video. Your explanations are easy to comprehend - looking forward to putting it into practice!
This heel thing to control the bike is really helpful........Thanks🙏
Fantastic video on standing up, awesome and so well explained. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
So happy I stumbled on your channel. I've watched and take a number of courses for ADVriders. But, none of them breakdown the techniques like you do. Keep the videos coming. Many of use continue to struggle with deep gravel, sand, tire pressure, and tire type. Hopefully some topics you can touch on. Kam
Great video! I enjoy all of your guys videos. My struggle is riding on rocky terrain’s. Mainly when going uphill or turning. I would love to see you guys do a video with rocky terrain’s. Take care.
You guys are so good at explaining the heart of the Motorcycle.
Good video, any tips jumping logs on t7 🤙
Daniel, great videos, learning lots from them, thanks! You asked for vid suggestions ... how about a vid on how to tackle going up and downhill on washed out hills with ruts and lots of large loose cobble?
Great tips and videos! I’m wondering if you talk about how to properly handle ruts. We’ve been getting a lot of rain lately in San Diego, CA and the gravel roads are going to be full of ruts. Thanks again for the video.
Wow, Finally one video for beginners which sums it all up! Thank you for explaining how to shift and brake with foot!
Cheers
Very nice and beautiful presentation, information and explanation
Thank you sir
The heel-dropping tip had a huge effect. I’ve been practicing on dirt and asphalt, and am surprised how much control this gives.
As a tall rider (6'2" with 35" sleeve length and 34" inseam), I struggle with the lack of handle-bar mount to rear-tank distance in motorcycle specifications. For instance, on a Honda MSX125 my arms go STRAIGHT DOWN from my shoulders to the bars. Please amplify on this? Your instruction is succinct and SUPERB. Thank you SO much for sharing your experience.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Txx. Great info 😊
Thanks for watching!
Great tip, good explanation!!!! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips! 😊
Thanks Troy!
Best riding tuitor online
Awesome information. I’m learning a lot!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video! It would be great if you could also show and explain how to ride in (deep and slick) mud.
Simple, useful techniques. Good video.
Thank You 👍🏻
Brilliant content mate - made for real Enduro travelling. And I would enjoy to see more content with "my" bike, the Desert X 🤗 🤗
Thanks and keep it up!
Fantastic! Brilliant content. You explain it extremely well. Can you elaborate on riding through soft sand and dunes (especially side slope)? Thank you very much!
Sweet. I have had trouble figuring out foot position and how exactly to use the weight to steer. Thank you!
Thanks for watching Naveen!
Nice tips
Excellent, well described and understandable. 2nd the bellow comment on throttle control, how that effects the chassi, maybe tactics for dealing with or avoiding bump-throttle
(inadvertent throttle opening) Liking this type of content!!
One of the best advice I have ever heard, thanks! I always wondered
About the best way to ride off road and sand while two up… Do both stand… does one stand… also weight distribution etc… Thanks again!
Thanks for the great tip. Deym! Youre a good teacher. The foot position helps me a lot. Thanka bro. Can you do a video on how to powerslide thru corners then brake out of it. Nee subs here from the philippines
very good info thanks for sharing with us ..hi from italy
Grazie 🙏🏼
Enjoying the series, thanks. Would this weight transfer to recover a slide also work when the front end slides out during cornering? It happens so abruptly this is my nemesis 😬
Excellent advice!
Requesting tips for steep downhills on gravel 👍
Great vid thanks. Can you do one on suspension damping settings adjustment for different surfaces. For example, settings for good gravel vs corrugates ‘washboard” sections?
Did you talk about adjusting gear or brake foot levers? Especially on T7 you seem to need to really sink the foot when breaking. A lot of people are switching to that Camel brake fix.
Dropping the heels works great on faster smooth corners and i love it as its so natural, but on the tight corners not so much. easier to motocross style it and push the bar down in the direction your turning and weight outside peg as you throttle on. It also feels that if you keep central on the bike that the front will wash out so best to get over the top of the bike to balance it out of the corner. how do you guys do the tight corners? thanks.
You pinpoint and communicate critical riding components very clearly. That is a gift, can’t teach it but you have it.
I would love to take a course with you. I am east coast.
Thanks Jeff! I'm working on setting up a couple courses on the East Coast later this year. If you are interested you can sign up for our Newsletter to stay up to date on some date.
Great vid - tips on enduro bikes for singles tracks - body position for standing up for faster cornering.
Thanks for watching! We are set to film a whole bunch of Enduro videos next week.
Just wanted to mention one thing....do all this with a good riding boots with good grip otherwise you can slide of the pegs when you are on your toes and riding offroad in speed....thanks for the tips....🙏
hi, thanks for the video, great tips! I have a question: approximately, how much weight do you put down on the handlebar and is there a point I should bend my knees to compensate that? thanks again!
Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to practice with my pig: 990 adventure kkk Cheers from Brasil.
Thanks for watching!
Nice tyres which model are they?
What's the best way to have good control over the throttle and the front brake when standing up?
These are great tips for me as recently buying an older GS1200A and coming from a road bike history more than 20 years ago. I wanted to ask how much counter steering do you blend in with the counter balancing using footpegs? I have become used to counter steering, also keeping my body central to the bike but I feel confused when riding and I have a lack of confidence with simple cornering and trusting the front wheel, causing a bit of fear. I notice that counter steering doesn't get mentioned and I'd like to clear it up in my mind. Love your work, hope you can give me some guidance . Geoff.
That heel drop also has helped me. Still getting more confidence on the bike. Dumped my S10 plenty of times but its all in the fun. Going to change to some Mitas E07s and go out again to see if I can some better luck
Glad to hear it's working for you! Have you subscribed to our Newsletter? There is a link in there for a 15% discount on the Mitas E07s
Very helpful. Thank you. Any tips on sitting down technics would be good. On long trips, standing all the time is not an option. I'm talking mostly grated longing roads going around corners. I've been mostly riding keeping my body centred while leaning the bike and my legs and feet tight to the bike when going around curves. I guess leaning forward and sitting forward are good practices when cornering. Any suggestions would be great. Or a video even better. Thanks
Cool videos you have here guys, thank you.
My biggest right now is lifting wheel up (especially on T7). I looped big bike once and since then very hesitant. And that limits my ability to cross obstacles.
So video on that would be amazing.
AIriemann1 have a great video on that subject
Grretings from Switzeland😎 I find it quite demanding to lift the front wheel with the Duc DX with low speed, to cross over obstacles. Is it because of the longer DDX wheelbase? How do I need to adapt from a smaller bike? Would be lovely to see how you do it🧚♀️
Can u do some 2 up video tips.struggeling to find 2 up videos
Well done!! Extremely important is your hint with the false foot action left. And the stand with the middle or end of the boot on the pegs is a really sxxit feeling on the whole bike!
A real challenge for me is to handle the throttle while standing. I think, I have to change the handlebar to a higher position than on streetwork...
Thanx for showing us!!
I’m sure you do it already, but always have 1/2 fingers on both the clutch and accelerator. It will mean that you can just squeeze your fingers and thumb together to accelerate. Rather that twisting your whole wrist. Gives sooooo much control. Hope it’s useful :)
I would still be interested in how to wheelie a Ducati Desert X to go over obstacles. I come from MX bikes with a smaller wheelbase. So this seems quite challenging to me.
Where can I get that FXR gear from?
I find when I'm standing and I move my foot to shift it places all my weight on the right which obviously causes the bike to start turning. How do you move the left foot but still keep the weight centered? As it is I just sit down to shift but it does limit my riding ability.
Hallo Daniel,
thanks a lot for your tips and videos!
I have a predecessor of Tenere (XT660R) and I have issue with a standing position on a left foot. I can't drop my heel because of a kick stand - heel goes directly on a springs of the stand.
A month ago I tried some of Tenere's (standard, WR, Öhlins) and found out that the same thing is on Tenere - but better than XT660 - the heel goes only on a auxiallary protrusion of a kick stand. We can even saw it in your video (0:55). If you are droping your heel, the kick stand moves.
So my question is: does it bother you? Maybe it's a new bike and you'll cut it off later...
And second question or a topic for a video is: what changes did you do on Tenere? Suspension, crash bars (see I right it is not the original ones? Function, price, ...?), you have a new panels where boots contact a bike, ...
I struggle with unpredictable sand, especially following other riders . Unpredictable deep sections of sand the bike tends to follow previous riders tracks “snow/sand snakes” the bike will follow previous riders tracks when hit short sections of deep dry sand.
I know what you mean and with experience you get to predict how the front will behave. In sand you want momentum and the weight to the back for best results. When you see those tracks better stay clear of them and/or get to ride them as perpendicular as you can. Also loosen your arms and let the handlebars react to the terrain. They are much better at finding what's best for the whole system traveling forward in sand than your reactions to it.
motocross racers only stand up wen they know the bike whould kick them off if they stay on there seat.
why?
cose you get more controle with the handle bar then the foot peg. I think on adv standing up is mostly cose you can see better . but personely standing up is like giving up on controle for visibility. need both so you choose the best one for you at the moment.
he got good technics \ advice and a nice video I like it👍
Thanks for the explanations. I have a big fear of mud could you explain the right technique
We will try when we get some rain. Not often in California. And I like to keep my bikes clean 😁
When you bend your body forward, how do you respond at sudden or emergency braking?
you mentioned staying "tight" on the bike. Could you please explain what that means? Would you also explain what youmean by "staying centered" on the bike?
Good tips! Wat tyres are fitted on the T7?
I ride with the Mitas E07 tires. I'm about to do a review on those and put up a video.
Where is this filmed at?
Santa Barbara?🤔
Can u plz make video on brake slide & powerslide in standing position
It's on the list. We will have that out in the next month. Thank You!
@@SedlakOffroadSchool woohoo ❤️thanks for replying
That T7 side stand needs to be modified a bit to allow for good feet positioning and heels down. Seems to be in the way (probably that lever to push it down sticks out too much). I don't own a T7 but I do own a large set of feet. Size 15.
Did you straighten your hand there while changing the gear, meaning you pulled the handle bars to stay on the bike ?
As me being an expert at this. You may want to explain how a k-5 splitter system reducitner peg set can really help
can you learn basic things about off road riding as a newbie on your current bike before you change to adv? (like standing, body position, counter leaning, etc)
