Just to start off this is my first video im watching of yours and man oh man I love your energy! Thank you for the tips, have my first track day coming up soon and just trying to work on foot, hand, & head position as much as possible before heading in! 🚀 STAY HYPE MY MAN
When I finally learned to use my heel and bottom of the outer foot to hook the peg cornering became so much more enjoyable! Best tip out there for sure
Same here, at the beginning i was putting the outside foot in the same position as the inside one, learnt to position my feet properly and felt way safer and enjoyed way more cornering(maybe the track itself(motorland aragon) had some influence on that too hahaha)
Josh you came to the dealership I was managing back in 2008 Yamaha 99. It’s been cool watching you progress as a racer since then. I was impressed how nice and down to earth you where back then. Keep puttin in that work on track!
Great video josh! I’ve been following you for a long time. Your a sick rider & a super cool dude! Keep it up man love the videos. You’re making all us average riders a little better. Thanks again! 👍
Josh has one of the most natural racing styles in the sport. he’s a great rider and a very cool guy with a great deal of experience and he can explain how to use your body to get the best from the bike
I recorded my ride with the same camera angle as yours and found out i'm not doing such a bad job as i thought. I see that i need to work on sicane corners. The way you move your feet so quickly is something i need to practise to achieve. Thanks again for the video Josh!
tthis foot positioning tip is very key , forces all your body down on the bike giveing yourself more traction especially during cornering, to be honest it felt like the bike was alot more controled and planted to the ground during corners, gives you the confidence to push just a little more in corners
@@joshherrin hi there yes and no, i first came across this tip in a different video, but this video was able to give me a little more details, thanks for the tips man
A racing line video would be great if you haven’t already done that! Maybe an actual track layout with your preferred line choice. Thanks for the content!
I like how you got Ben to roll around on cam for you. You seem fun. I'm going to totally awkwardly say hi to you when you're at Jersey. I was there Saturday of last year, dude you were absolutely nuts in the wet. A+++ would spectate again.
Bro your unreal and down to earth man I’m from the U.K. you should visit one time and tear up the Streets. ✌🏻 good luck this year you got it #lightwerrrkkkk
i have a question..and maybe next video..i work at cyclegear (hasbrouck hights whoop whoop) and i hear alot of people crashing is when there breaking!.. (mostly new riders) i try to give them my tips " go to parking lot prctice ..initial the brake and then starts slowly pressing harder and harder till you find your limit or the bikes limit so your are fimilare with how to break in a emergency situation"or if your at a track.. i hear alot of my customers go down beacuse they are useing the rear brake ( tail slides out and they high side) or just slamming on the front brake ( low side) my question is am i coaching them correctly and if you make a video i can refer them to your video to better educate them and everyone else on 2 wheel!.. thank josh keep up the good work and congratulations! on your win at cota cant wait to see you race this weekend good luck bud!
Oh and congrats on that last win my friend, the wife and I was watching with crossed fingers after Tony had that downshift problem and you blasted by ..... you could easily see what that win meant to you through the tv screen
Josh Herrin I’ll be tuned in for sure, been a fan for a while! I saw you win in person at Barber on a 600 a loooong time ago.. what probably 2007 or 2008??? I want a stand up Rossi style wheelie if you win at VIR , much love from SE Tennessee
I loved the video. The mucking around was fun but the foot tips were excellent. I now know what I am doing is right and what my mate is telling me is wrong.
Went to motoamerica at sonoma raceway and was rooting for ya josh awesome riding by the way,good to see the tips i ride on the balls of the feet like you say just may have been hangin the toes out a little too far...gotta get my tuono to the track and let er rip. Be safe bro keep the rubber side down and good luck
How about foot weight distribution? Do you put more weight on inside or outside pegs? Or equal? Does weight distribution change on corner entry, mid, and exit?
Personally I find that I have most of my weight on the inside peg, you can also see in the video that in a tighter corner he lifts his outside foot completely off of the peg. I would assume the weight distribution gradually increases on corner entry and then equalizes on exit
You mean I got to take off the Go-Pro mount off the top of my tank! I already put back on my left rear passenger peg for more turn in weight! And I had all the people standing around me all pissed off because I was constantly revving the engine! Dude I was LMAO when you said all these things... because I new some racers were heeding that advice!
seriously, that's a good summary of this video it was cool to see that his boots have grooves where the pegs are though, gives you a good idea where they should be most of the time.
Another awesome vid. Your outside foot seems to pivot-out more on the left than right side. Wonder why... Can you do a video on how you map out your breaking points on the track? Do you pick spots on the track to tell you where to brake? Do you prefer to brake late?
Two years late but this video was fucking great. Been riding for about 6 years but just recently have gotten into motosport and racing, actaully just saw you at VIR a couple weeks ago. Anyway, this taught me a lot and really can't wait to take this new knowledge out on the track/road. Seems so simple but its like a "duh" moment when you see where you're making mistakes. Thanks Josh and keep on keepin on! 👍🏻🤙🏼
Josh Herrin foresure deff agree actually road a buddys bike today with standard and kept putting it in 2nd when pulling away outta habit so used to gp.. but once going all good funny how we can go back and forth like no big deal just that random misshift every now and again lol
Good info! IMHO a bunch of hard core track day tips will get you a bunch of new subscribers then you can start doing more fun(for you) vids.. good luck with the channel---I love it. PS i still want to see you race some motoamerica guys on the mini bikes.
Josh Herrin Totally agree with you on this.... love the bike.... seen one last week in person and lord it was beautiful.... rider had a ton of nice work done to it.... he said he paid 22k for it..... to rich for my blood, but when you got it you got it ! Lol
@@joshherrin thanks you very much. Will definitely that next time I'm on 2's. Big fan! Been one since your 600cc days with graves Yamaha, to moto2( sucks it did work for you) wak ass caterham!!! and back!!!!! Watch every race, always followed you and ur TH-cam videos........... congratulations on the factory ride and the win at cota. Finally showed them foo's wat is up!!!! Good luck the rest of the season
Great video Josh. I really like the relaxed attitude toward getting the job done. Keep up the strong work. Perhaps some insight on how one can approach braking later into the corner. thanks again.
Question: You said your outer leg is relax but hooked to the tank, so is it just your leg thats hooked on the tank the only thing thats holding you on the corner or do you put some weight on the inner foot as well to help hold you on the corner? Please shine some light on me! lol More power!!!!
Does it matter if you’re all up on the tank? For straightaways it could be better to help keep the front down but what about turns? Do you shift weight forward backward at all or is it mostly determined as a result of your wrist/foot position? I guess just in general talking about body position in terms of forward and back would be cool to hear.
Great tips Josh. Have you tried out Troy Corsers foot technique? Instead of standing on his toes, he shoves his foot all the way to the inside of the peg and slightly behind the ball of his feet. He then leans on the side of his foot for getting the knee out. That way you don't have to move the foot as much and it will make you very stable on the bike. The technique works for some and not for others. Very dependent on how you are built. For me, his technique works great and makes me way more stable on the bike. Here: th-cam.com/video/wC7PkQd7kLU/w-d-xo.html
Jacob sims if you attend track day or AFM events you should check out Dave Moss. The bike needs to be tuned to you and Dave is a God at that. Just take your bike to him
Come ride with P.R.E. if you ever do some track days in NC. And give me all these on track tips. Ha. Good luck at VIR this weekend. I’ll be at the top of the roller coaster.
Matthew Morgan it’s a organization that puts on the track days. Aka rents the track and sets everything up so we just come ride. Message me and I can give you all kinds of details. And other groups that go to VIR if you want.
killer video...I have that same bike, but I might as well ride a Honda CB 250. My track days looks nothing like yours haha. Love the tips and the fucking around bits equally much
I have short ass legs. They barely reach the outside peg. On any bike. With the Rearsets adjusted all the way up. If I hit a bump, mid-corner, I'll lose grip on my outside peg.
@@joshherrin im running the R1 with Pirelli rosso 3 120/70 front and 190/55 rear, mostly riding twisties. I used to try the Pirelli recommended pressure but seemed too rough esp when hitting bumps
Butterflies aren’t too bad. Dragonflies are waaaay worse and their guts stick like sap. Great tips about being on your toes and opening your chest to the turn.
Yo Josh thanks for the foot tips I’ll definitely be practising that when I’m out and about. But here’s a tip for you.....when unloading your motorcycle off a truck or trailer CONCENTRATE!! 😂😂Adam 🏴

Josh,
I want to see braking technique. Front vs rear braking, pressure on the lever during braking, and trail braking videos.
+1. Very interested to see how you set up, trail off, and release.
+1 vote for this video as well
Would like to see this as well 👌🏼
On track; 99.9% front. rear brake is used to control wheelies out of corners etc, just a touch is enough.
i don't think he uses rear brakes at all
Just to start off this is my first video im watching of yours and man oh man I love your energy! Thank you for the tips, have my first track day coming up soon and just trying to work on foot, hand, & head position as much as possible before heading in! 🚀 STAY HYPE MY MAN

Great tips. This also makes me right on the balls of my feet even on the street which makes me feel like I have better control of the bike.
I feel like if you are riding on the balls of your feet you are more prepared when shit goes down on the street. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
Never been a fan of the gixxer but this new one is unreal 💧🤑
Ste Bradley I was very impressed the first day I rode this bike. I love it.
Bro your unreal and down to earth man I’m from the U.K. you should visit one time and tear up the Streets. ✌🏻 good luck this year you got it #lightwerrrkkkk
Some people said to shorten the video and just talk about the foot positioning. I for one enjoyed the humor, especially the foot away joke. LOL!

1st thing I noticed no gp shift.. i know to each there own but surprised I guess
Kgsxr7S0 it’s just rider preference. I just haven’t switched this bike over but I think there is an advantage to both ways.
Josh Herrin foresure deff agree actually road a buddys bike today with standard and kept putting it in 2nd when pulling away outta habit so used to gp.. but once going all good funny how we can go back and forth like no big deal just that random misshift every now and again lol

From The tribe of Judah I’ll probably be covering this in my next video. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the foot technique tips, means a lot for people like me. Love the way you make your videos too lol...
Good stuff. Team Suzuki.
Need more off these video's!
What’s up Josh.......I’m a fellow Moto-vlogger and was wondering what the best mount position for a Camera on your helmet? Also nice win at COTA!
King I’ll post a photo on my Instagram story tonight of the mount we put together for my helmet. 👍🏼
Great video Josh. I really like the relaxed attitude toward getting the job done. Keep up the strong work. Perhaps some insight on how one can approach braking later into the corner. thanks again.
Alonso Milan thanks for the feedback. I’ll put it down on the list. 👍🏼
Josh,
Nice ride. can you share the web links of where we can get your motorcycle gear ?
13000th subscriber here..! Yeah
FORTY3 awesome! Thank you!
Question: You said your outer leg is relax but hooked to the tank, so is it just your leg thats hooked on the tank the only thing thats holding you on the corner or do you put some weight on the inner foot as well to help hold you on the corner? Please shine some light on me! lol More power!!!!
I’d like to know about body prep and hydration to beat the cramps. Might be a boring video but could work it into another one.
Thanks for the helpful info
Another female subscriber...great tips and entertaining banter, what more do I need!
Dude I love your videos. Please do one on braking - like backing it into a corner kinda braking ;)
Backing it on is done on the downshift. Just hammer down the gears, breaking traction to the rear. Super motos may vary.
Awesome vid Josh. At 4:53, are you doing a small foot dangle thing before tipping in? Thanks for the tips by the way!
Thanks for everything you do,plus the awesome racing
I learn this awesome tip to try then look outside and it starts to snow for the first time this year lol. For next year it is ha.
Does it matter if you’re all up on the tank? For straightaways it could be better to help keep the front down but what about turns? Do you shift weight forward backward at all or is it mostly determined as a result of your wrist/foot position?

I find my self trailing the rear brake into the corner and therefore cannot place my ball of my foot on the peg. Is it incorrect to trail brake?
Cod and motorcycles ftw :) Thanks for good content!
Just stumbled on your videos. Have you or will you do a vid on rearset and shift lever position for track riding?
Josh, are you still doing 1:1 coaching. I’d be interested during the MotoAmerica off season, CVMA winter series.
Could you give a walkthrough of doing figure eights knee puck to knee puck? I struggle with lefts and I cant left turn circles down. Thanks Josh!
great and entertaining video Josh, see you at VIR this weekend, you need me to bring you some cold Coors lite?
More of this video was excellent
I love your videos dude great content and tips 👌 definitely looking forward to new videos on how to be a better rider. like u lol

so weight on outside foot is placed on the heel?

Awesome tips! Tq 😊
Good video and tips not related to the video but where can i get that Suzuki hat from ?
I noticed you have standard street shift, not GP shift. Do you have a preference, and why dont you have GP shifting set up on your truck day bike?
Patrick Callahan x2
How do you get that sound from the go pro? What external mic are you using and where is it? Sounds great 👍
the whole cow pasture thing, I’m like “hmm must be going to Buttonwillow” hahaha

Body position braking exiting acceleration. Thanks 🙏
