As a motorcycle instructor, I often come across new riders who struggle with their bikes, to the point where they question whether they should continue riding at all. And in most cases, this struggle stems from a lack of solid foundational skills. After all, becoming a proficient rider requires clocking in countless miles to master the craft, am I right? But what if I told you that by learning just 5 essential riding techniques, a new rider can quickly become quite good? Not Valentino Rossi good, of course, but good enough to ride safely with confidence and control, and without emitting that “Hey, I don’t know what I’m doing” energy all over the road. So today, in just around 15 minutes, I'll introduce you to these 5 fundamental motorcycle riding techniques.

On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!

Thanks! I am a new rider and have watched mostly American KZfaqrs explaining. But none are as clear and understandable as you. Your video's are amazing, keep up the good work! Hopefully more people will find you.

Americans are the last people you should get advice for motorbikes. It's the nation that refuses to wear helmets and allows you to buy ANY bike after doing a 2 day course and they have a fetish with flat footing so they ignore bikes they can't flat foot on and miss out on so many good bikes and different styles of riding.

I'm so proud watching your videos about how to ride knowing i learned most of the stuff you talk about copletely by myself just riding for 4 years, and I'm only 18, started on 50cc and now switching to A2 (didn't choose the new bike yet). Of course im no MotoGP racer but it still feels very good knowing I have most of it figured out. Where i lacked in straight line speed i had to compensate with technique. The feeling when I overtake 600cc in the curves on my RS125 after they zoomed by me on the straight is insane. I saved countless rear slides, did many emergency stoppies, i feel one with the machine, kind of like im just telling it what to do and it does it by itself, like we are interlinked. The correct grip, posture, balance, I feel so confident in my motorcycle that i even had a few lowsides forgetting that in the rain the road is well... wet. I love you content, and discovering new and new small things to enhance my riding technique. Maybe thanks to you i will finally start motogymkhana like i wanted, or get a little zxr400 and start going to the track more seriously.

Track stands (balancing with feet up, at a stop) are an important skill to learn, whether on a dirt bike, adv, or mountain bike. Just got a new KLR, so I’m back to practicing basics, on dirt, rock, and asphalt.

My kid and I are just getting into riding. Well, more honestly, she wanted to get into riding and I want an excuse to do things with my kid. I used to ride, 30 years ago, so I am retraining myself. She is brand new, and has never ridden before. I cannot learn this way. Let me reverse myself again. I CAN learn this way. I have college degrees, so I have engaged with the academic way of doing things. But I learn better and faster another way. My best learning method is to out my hands on things and just start doing them until I figure them out. So that is what I have done. It took me three days of work to regain my basic competence and confidence and I am good to go. But my KID...to be honest with you, if my kids did things the way I do things it would scare the hell out of me. So in teaching her, this video is going to be extremely helpful. Thank you for making this.

@sawomirlesniewski4448 9 ай бұрын

I have few observations about the vision. Maybe there is another level, I mean: #1 is looking at sth on the road and falling after you pass it; #2 intermediate - as you mentioned - look where you are going to; #3 is (how I see it) scanning the panorama ahead you setup the point you want to roll over, you remember it and you are free to look around, if your body is not starting to move after your vision. The bike neeks the point on the road, as probably I will not touch it personally :) - so let`s say 1/3 is path and direction and 2/3 is watching butterflies and night flying bugs, looking for mushrooms and fallen trees, just much more than the road offers. Try some exercises i.e. walking on the wooden branch or a piece of wood like for your bike and watch all over -above, below, at the back - so if your legs don`t remember the route, than your vision is connected with your legs, which is dangerous in crazy situations. Your upper body movement is able to work in separated semi-system but in conjunction with the lower body. Eyes, which is quite amazing, can do sth very different as they allow your awareness to travel faster and higher with totally no relation with the bike. :) Master level is to be practiced while walking first, then riding :)

@PahaLukki 8 ай бұрын

You always demonstrate your practises with a supermoto, where you can sit very very close to the handlebars, and be very much in control. But I find it harder to slow speed control bikes with a more forward leaning posture due to the tank size and distance to the handlebars. Sadly, I can't find any good supermotos in my market for reasonable cost.

@KrisVandenBroeck1595 11 ай бұрын

Hey Andrey, nice video as always! Quick question if you find the time. When for example i’m in a left hand turn, in full lock. I know I can get the bike out of the full lock with acceleration/releasing clutch to friction zone. But are there any other options than that? Asking since countersteering doesn’t seem like an option in full lock. Much love from Belgium. ❤

@MotoControlEn 11 ай бұрын

Hi! If I had to get out of full lock without increasing my speed, for whatever reason, I would shift my weight outside the turn with a counterbalancing. This way the angle of handlebars would reduce and then I would be able to make a countersteering to get out of the full-lock turn. I'm not sure why I would prefer it to add throttle/release clutch though🤔

IMHO for the 99% road riders who are beginning (those who are not motogp material tbh, me included) Buy a smaller and lighter bike like the MSX/duke 125/200/250 . the R15 is a HUGE bike for a 150CC with low handlebars (super uncomfy and fatigue inducing)

@AbhishekSingh-pr8ol 11 ай бұрын

I bought your course on beginners and as I have gone through it. I find it is to be missing one crucial prerequisite I believe viz "which bike to be chosen for beginners". I thought it should also be included as for beginners who are confused in which Motorcycle to be bought. Besides that I loved all the other instructions and exercises.♥️

There is not „the best“ bike for beginners. Nakeds are considered good beginner bikes because they are lighter. Picking a model depends on your budget. I personally do not like KTM bikes because they are known to fail a lot and need a lot of maintenance.

@MotoControlEn 11 ай бұрын

Hi! I've got a video about beginner bikes here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9KBdJVezZbLgac.html I decided to not include this topic into the course, since markets in different countries are very different too, and on one hand I can suggest a bike which your market doesn't have, and on other hand I can overlook a good bike which it has. So, that's why there is no "best beginner bike" topic in the course🙂

A question on this bit: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grd7aaqLu723cnU.html It seems that it would work in all cases except when the bike is already in full lock. It that case, pushing the outer grip will not do anything. I guess the only way to "stand up" from that position would be to increase the speed. Is my understanding correct?

Why is there so much focus on slow speed riding? As an intermediate rider, how is this relevant to street riding or touring? Because 95% of the time the speeds are way higher.

@MotoControlEn 11 ай бұрын

Because the slow-speed exercises are the most safe and easy way to learn skills like vision, countersteering, balance etc., which are relevant on all speeds.

Hello Andrey, after a while I looked for another video of YOURS. It is most perfect from practical view, but from pedagogical view you could improve it - - IF YOU REALLY WANT -- and accept tips from other people. So I replenish my hint regarding your pronunciation: It seems, YOUR ENGLISH-TEACHER was no native speaker (engl or am). So to get out the HOT POTATO and the "ccch" instead of "h" LISTEN TO NATIVLY SPOKEN ENGLISH texts and repeat them immediately - sentence after sentence. THEN you also gain more distance from that cruel "Poopin" in Mosqua! Druzhba Robin
