What is the recommended position for your knees in relation to the gas tank?

The recommended position for your knees is to keep them tight against the gas tank. This position provides better control of the motorcycle, improves stability, and enhances your overall balance while riding. When your knees are in contact with the gas tank, it allows you to use your legs to grip the motorcycle securely, which helps to maintain a stable posture during maneuvers, especially when leaning into turns or negotiating curves.

Being in close proximity to the gas tank also allows for more effective weight distribution and improves the ability to shift your body as needed for optimal handling. This technique is essential for new and experienced riders alike to enhance their riding capabilities and ensure safety on the road.

Keeping your knees away from the gas tank, allowing them to hang out to the side, or positioning them directly above the footpegs would compromise your balance and control, making it more challenging to maneuver and respond effectively to road conditions.
