Came accross this on another forum and think it's brilliant, especially for new bikers.

Had a go at a few of the tips on the way home last night, and again this morning. Even though the roads are damp the bike feels much more solid in the corners. Particularly the points about bracing outside knee and elbow on the tank puts you in the right position, forces you arms to bend at the right angle and get you low on the bike. Feels much more stable - can't wait to try this out when the roads are dry.

Can't rate this guide enough. Think it may have come from Visor down, but i found it on sv650.org.

Yeah, this is good - the mistakes part was everything I was doing in the early part of last year. Once you sort your position, you are at least 70% in better control of the bike and SO much faster.
