I really like this learning technique. I never thought to counter lean my upper body to get my knee to touch since obviously everyone who does it is leaning into the turn for _less_ lean angle because they're flying. This is perfect for normal road speeds to get used to the knee hitting. I counter lean to turn at slow speed of course but never thought to combine that with a buttcheek off and knee down at the same time. Genius way to learn! Another tip I've heard that works well for me is putting weight on the outside foot peg in turns (whether leaning or counter leaning). It feels better and helps keep the bike upright if you hit a bump or something in the corner
Just discovered your channel. Thank you for this interesting tutorial, that makes me subscribe actually. Good if you can bring further tips in a next video as you suggested at the end !
Foot position is the ball of your feet is on the pegs, body position as low and off the side of the bike as possible. The whole point is to reduce the lean angle of the bike so you can corner faster by maximizing grip, using your knee as a guide to how much farther you can lean the bike before sliding out. At the highest levels in MotoGP they can even recover from sliding the rear out by literally pushing the bike off the ground with there elbow and knee. Incredible
True! It‘s insane If you tell a noob to learn it this way, they never get the knee down and it‘s very dangerous with super high speeds so I do it this way and you can go the correct way afterwards 👌
I've got to ask, as a noob myself, why increase the lean angle? It seems counter intuitive. As the whole point of hanging off the bike is to reduce the lean angle? Knee down is just a byproduct? I still haven't got my knee down yet, my local Twisties require over 60mph to lean the bike enough if your hanging off 😂. I'm going to practise on a large roundabout soon just so I can get the feeling of it. I'm only 5ft 8 so I think I have to be leaned almost max for my knee to hit the deck
Very nice video and good explaining 😁 I want to try the knee down but i always fear to over do it and just fall! Plus i have the "engine cage" i think its the same as u have, and i always think that it will touch the ground and make me fall. These tips had defently inspired me to go and actually try it But Unfortunatly ill have to wait, bike is having white smoke issues, and it is very very wierd 🤷
I think peg and body position on nakeds are not good to try to touch with the knee cause it is difficult to extend the leg and as you say it is easier if your upper body position is not right otherwise your hip is bent... So of course you shouldn't try to touch on the road and probably not on track either cause in order to do that you won't have a good upper body position for something that's not really necessary, most people would prepare a lot, sacrifice upper body position, and go overall slower just to touch. With a naked on track with good tires your pegs can scrap the tarmac and maybe your knee is still not there if your upper body is ok.
what year is that 390 ? i got my licence 1 week ago and that definitely the bike i want, between 2017 and 2023, because before the headlight was not it and now same + too expansive
Hey, I am at around 78kg with the leather and I am on mid preload on my spring. I have tried all configs from hard to super "soft" (preload) but didnt make all too much of a difference in my experience
Hi, thanks for the tips! I have just one question, i would like to record audio like you but i don't know how xD. If is not a problem for you could you make a video or just explain how you edit the raw audio ? thank you so much !!
It's mainly a nice EQ in post production and you have to record it clean in order to work as well, like the recorder needs to be pretty much free and not obstructed by bags and stuff
Servus, kann man des ganze auch mit ner 125er Sportler machen? Hab nur Angst dass Ich bei mir zu schnell auf die Kante komme weil die Reifen "schmaler" sind. Nices Video🔥
Wobei ein schmälerer Reifen nicht unbedingt leichter auf Kante zu fahren ist. Auch baut nicht jeder Reifen der gleichen Größe gleich breit, ein S22 ist quasi beim Abbiegen auf Kante während ein Tourensportler einige Grad mehr Schräglage benötigt.
Haste noch irgendwelche Tipps speziell für Linkskurven ? Habe da noch immer Probleme. Knie geht runter wenn ich will, aber dann eher gezwungen. Ich bekomme einfach kein Vertrauen in die Schräglage in Linkskurven. Und die Linie richtig zu treffen finde ich auch viel schwieriger als in Rechtskurven. Rechts rum alles kein Thema Linie, Reifen komplett auf Kante, da fühle ich mich wohl.
Same bei mir. Was ich dir raten kann ist übe mal mit weniger Speed eine gleichmäßige Linie eher weiter außen zu fahren, wenn man die Kurve dann später (im Fortschritt des Lernens) außen ansetzt und eher bisschen hinein zieht (insofern man genug sieht), dann fühlt sich alles besser an. Aber fahr mal langsam eine konstante Linie also immer gleich weit außen durch die ganze Kurve (ca. im äußeren ⅓) und baue dann langsam speed auf. Prinzipiell braucht man dafür einfach viele Wiederholungen und einfach üben aber das sind meine Tipps auf schnell
I was hanging off and bike showed 50 degree lean and my knee still didn’t touch. Felt like I was absolutely flying 😂 Maybe I should exaggerate my position further

I already can knee down, but I just want to watch the content. I love that KTM Duke.
Dude, love your appreciation!
I'll do a lot more rides in the upcomming days, so stay tuned! :)
thanks for the video still saving for a duke 390 hope I can buy one soon
You will make it 🙏

Thanks for the video, from Spain 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for showing around the bike .
Dude chill, I'll do that too 🤣
Give me a sec, I have work too! haha
Thank you for all!
Thanks a lot!👌
Great explanation! Waiting for more 😊
More to come!
Thanks for the details bro
Awesome explanation 💪👌
Very nice video and good explaining 😁

I love your channel bro! I just bought a Duke 390 (2023) and I love it! Where did you get your graphics?? Considering a graphics kit
Awesome!!
Thank you!

What decals are those they look amazing 🔥🔥
It's from Moto Pro Works
What mirrors are those???
what year is that 390 ? i got my licence 1 week ago and that definitely the bike i want, between 2017 and 2023, because before the headlight was not it and now same + too expansive
This one is a 2017 so of the first series
@@BRAAAPP wtf it looks clean asf, i woulf have said 2022
I am trying so much but i'm scared to lose my footpegs 😭 they always touch before i try to knee down
What are the tire brands and sizes?
hi!! great content!! how much preload do you have in your rear shock? how many clicks? and how much you weight?? thx!!!

Wie findest du knee down bei der Duke mit dem Original Reifen? Ist der Dunlop immernoch dein Lieblingsreifen für die Duke?
Servus, kann man des ganze auch mit ner 125er Sportler machen? Hab nur Angst dass Ich bei mir zu schnell auf die Kante komme weil die Reifen "schmaler" sind. Nices Video🔥
Sicher geht das, taste dich ran und schau mal, wie weit du den Reifen dafür ausfahren musst aber ansich geht das genauso :)

What tires do you have on?

nice vinyl on your bike.
may i know where do you get those?
It's from moto pro works bro
Vielen Dank, Zack Zack :)
excellent explanation 👍🏻subscribed
😀😀😀😀😀😀
The only time I’ve had my knee down is when I hit diesel and threw my bike down the road 🥵🥵🥵🥵
Great video !!
Thanks!
what tires do you use?
