[QUOTE="fatcat216, post: 1280584, member: 82767"] Actually my instructor gave that same advice about more weight on the bars- which, sitting at least- is exactly [U]the opposite[/U] of what I've been working on for a year. For my part- and I realize this is your thread Sixds- but we're working on the same skill- my issue with riding standing up & shifting standing up at the moment is finding the right hand placement. I have fairly small hands and my levers are set up well for a split fingered approach to both throttle and brakes....We don't want to change their position at this point. But I'm struggling. I have only once had that moment where they felt like they were where they needed to be fluidly. So I keep working on finding my balance and feets, stomping jumping and shifting and getting in touch with my back brake. I'm hoping the hands thing will work itself out while I make busy with the other. I'm open to suggestions however!! It just doesn't feel right. Moving the shift lever position worked for my girl's shifting while standing up. It was too low. [/QUOTE]
