[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 163881, member: 1650"] two things: if the bars made the bike lift easier or seem to want to while you were just accelerating through the gears, you are subconscsiously too tight and stiff in the arms and waist. if it does it just when you want to lift it, then all is fine. as you move up into more powefull bikes and wanting to take longer rides you should get into the habit of bending at the waste and elbows to keep your weight and head toward the bars. once you get something in the 30 hp and up range you will find it hard to steer when the front is light and if your shoulders are stiff in the work so to say, you tire fast. keeping both elbows up helps keep you in the right position to change the body position for obstacles, turns etc. [/QUOTE]
