[QUOTE="KTM Mike, post: 167123, member: 22658"] [b]Standing up[/b] I have recently learned the benfits of standing up more - in fact I should likely do it way more than I do. (seems all of the real fast guys I manage to get a couple seconds of glimpse of are standing nearly all the time) Standing in flat, tight corners - I can no do... i sit then... but elsewhere I am learning to stand more - which takes better condition of the ole legs! (conditioning i dont yet have!) Re: shift lever - I have found it best if it is up a touch higher - which helps keep it out of harms way for rocks, stumps etc as well. I have my clutch and brake levers rotated a bit farther down so it is a more comfortable natural reach to them while standing. When sitting it then forces a bit more of the attack position you should be in anyhow. The way i adjust my control positions (be it clutch brake or shift levers) is to assume the riding position I am trying to assume with the levers loose and moved out of the way.. then with your hands/feet where you will have them, reach for the lever as if it is "right there" where its easiest and most comfortable - then move the lever/control accordingly. there are limits of course - my bark busters interferred with moving my front brake lever to that perfect spot - but i got it close (er) at least. Doing it this way - who cares what others say - if it works for you! [/QUOTE]
