Good tutorial for beginner riders that haven't had the experience of working a motorcycle clutch at all.... exactly the technique I've taught others. However, I believe when people are looking for tips on avoiding WT, its more in the context of when riding on the track or trail, and things get out of control because something else went wrong that instigated WT. I know I was looking for tips that may support others opinions that having good body position, covering the clutch, etc. is how WT is avoided.

Great video, that is exactly how I got my wife to learn. I taught her how to actually get the bike going with no throttle so that she was confident with the use of the clutch. I also made learn the other how to stop. That is all she practiced for a day was start and stop travel in a straight line, nothing fancy but, it really boosted her confidence and made her safe.

yes really though.. whiskey throttle is all about panicking in the turns nothing about starting out this is how to take off without flipping the bike.. i have a bad case of whiskey throttle im working through where i either go too slow in a corner and tip or think im gonna tip and rev the piss out of it or im just holding on so tight i start increasing throttle while trying to slow down

I've wanted to ride motorcycles and dirtbikes all my life but was always too afraid of what would happen if I stalled out or didn't get throttle and clutch control down. Of course I didn't even know all that back then, just knew I really wanted to make that dream happen. I'm so happy and excited to say that after almost 20 years I'm finally going to get to ride a dirtbike and learn off road riding! I would never have been able to get this far if it wasn't for my amazing tougher then Enduro racing husband! He's rode bikes of all kinds pretty well all his life and his methods are awesome! I came to say that your video is very helpful in teaching us newbies how to NOT die before we actually get on the trails/tracks and for those who have husbands too busy working to spend a whole day teaching us not to screw up 😅 thanks!

@samanthamartinez3954 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, what a great video. I have been scared to ride again because of my confusion on how to work a clutch. I rode as a kid on an automatic dirtbike and loved it. And not knowing how to use the clutch has held me back from getting back into it as an adult. Thank you for making such a clear video. I'm so pumped right now to finally go for it!

@RARufus Жыл бұрын

I gotta say, whiskey throttling is fairly easy to do when you’re going over rough terrain where you need to throttle more and finesse the clutch. If you get a little too much throttle, the natural response is to grab tighter on the handles which leads to more throttle. It takes some practice which is part of the fun of a bike!

I bought a seized wr250f as a first bike. Long story short, three days later it is running (needs lots of stuff like a cooling system for starters). After I fixed the cam chain and cam chain guide, I tried to ride it with out a throttle. Just the bare cable to tug on lol, and since it was hard to give it gas on start I kept stalling it. Turns out if you let out the clutch at idle VERY slowly, it will not die

While I am miles away from the US it is kind of hard to practice daily due to the harsh weather conditions. Anyway I am so thankful coming to your channel, subscribed & following you guys. Meanwhile I like your black shades what brand are those please reply. Keep up the hard work & more tips. Stay safe Mx Factory team :)
