How should you position your wrist when operating the throttle?

Positioning your wrist flat while operating the throttle is essential for maintaining control and comfort when riding. This wrist alignment allows for better leverage and smoother acceleration, reducing fatigue during extended periods of riding. A flat wrist position helps to ensure that your hand can operate the throttle effectively without restricting blood flow or placing unnecessary strain on the tendons and muscles.

If the wrist is positioned at an upward angle, it can lead to awkward handling and difficulty in applying precise throttle control. Similarly, having the wrist bent in a strong way, either down or up, can lead to discomfort and potential injury over time, inhibiting your ability to respond quickly to changes in speed or terrain. Overall, keeping your wrist flat promotes a more relaxed grip and facilitates safer and more accurate motorcycle operation.
