Man I bought a 125 2 stroke a couple weeks back, this was my first weekend I finally got to ride it. I had so much fun, I’m amazed by the speed but those gears go insanely fast. I’m used to my Harley but this dirt bike is a whole new animal. Can’t get over how much fun it was. Always wanted one as a kid, parents never would go for it. I truly believe had I of had a dirt bike I wouldn’t have taken the path I did. My kids have toys and I will make damn sure they always do. Appreciate the videos they are helping me a ton.

Just had the rm top and bottom rebuilt itching to see how she feels now. I love the 450 but i think i like riding the 125 more, the 450 just has all the bells and whistles.

Here is a path my buddy took as a kid because of dirt bikes. He was 8 years old around 1968, and he could not keep up with some of the older kids who had new mini bikes on his bicycle, and his Mother would not buy him one, (Too dangerous). But he put one together out of parts, with Flintstone brakes and a throttle string wrapped around his thumb. He takes it for a ride around the yard, his Mother sees him and morally says to herself, "I can't take it from him. He made it!". Today he worked his way through die making and now built a 60,000sq/ft building in Michigan, making all the gas tank and fenders for Indian Motorcycles, (and other customers). Be careful on that dirt bike. We learned how to ride them as kids,---back when we bounced off the ground a lot better. But I have another at 59 years old. I just don't plan on crashing. :)

3:10 - You can look up videos that talk about this. Dirtbikes are constant mesh sequential transmissions. This means as long as you unload the transmission, you can shift up or down without the clutch, and not damage anything (of course, as long as you following the right procedure). Clutchless shifting is easier at higher RPM. Simply let off the throttle for a split second while shifting up and then get back on the throttle and your good. Shifting down is a little different, and not using the clutch is almost more likely to damage something than shifting up since the bike is typically at lower RPM and the throttle is closed. That's why shifting down without clutch can typically feel rough.

@Google_Does_Evil_Now Жыл бұрын

When you're up shifting you back off to throttle a bit to lower the revs. When you're down shifting you blip the throttle to lift the revs. When you're "down shifting" if you blip the throttle you'll sync just right with the higher revs needed to select that next gear. That's why you hear cars and motorbikes doing that Vrrrmm sound as they change down the gears when slowing. For a few years now people have been using it to show off. Many years ago I used it because the clutch was bad and it wouldn't change gear so I had to match the engine speed to the gearbox in order to change gear. I used to do this on the way up and on the way down until I had enough money to get the clutch fixed.

@jacobvanhalteren7452 Жыл бұрын

@@kevinward9562 On any loose surface, AKA when dirt biking, go ahead. It might be slightly harder on the clutch but your wheel has enough slip to lessen that impact. It's a heck of a lot of fun doing WOT, clutch shifts when doing dirt drag races or just fooling around on fields. I would never do this on a street bike though, because then the clutch has to take all the abuse and while it will speed the wheel up before locking completely it will also slow the motor down, and during this period it's just burning up the clutch

Use the clutch going from a standstill. You don't need to use the clutch going either up or down when in motion. You DO however need to let off the gas. You don't want a bunch of power going through your transmission when banging through the gears. As long as you're off power, you're free to shift as much as you want. On a four stroke, you can also use the rev limiter as a way of cutting the power for an upshift. When you reach the rev limit the ECU will cut fuel to the engine momentarily, then re-apply and cut as you reach it again which is what is causing the bouncing-off-the-rev-limiter sound. If you sync it well you can actually shift up just as the ECU cuts the fuel. You'll basically have a single engine revolution off power, you can also keep the throttle pinned, and the shift is about as quick as it can possibly be. Don't try this if you're not an experienced rider though!

I think of using a clutch to shift up like jumping between jump ropes swinging at different speeds. It's possible to jump straight from the slower rope to the faster rope, but it's safer and easier to jump out of the first rope, adjust your timing, then jump into the second one. Pulling the clutch is like jumping out, releasing it is jumping back in.

@dds272 4 жыл бұрын

I use no clutch going up thru the gears, and use clutch goin down. When going down thru the gears, i pull the clutch, drop gear, release clutch, pull clutch, drop gear, release. Goin up gear i accelerate, quick release of the throttle, change gear and start to accelerate again, and i continue this process thru all 6 gears. In my opinion, no clutch up, and use clutch down is the best way to do it, less stress on the transmission, and i have never had transmission issues ever. 2 stroke and 4 stroke

Maybe he said to replace the clutch plates because he burned them and they became grabby? Maybe they were slipping when you were on the hard throttle and a high gear? This is when the revs start to rise faster than the bike is moving and you can tell the engine isn't quite making 100% connection to the real wheel.

Doesn't downshifting without a clutch damage the bike in any way though?

@brettknibbs9351 6 жыл бұрын

the clutch is there for stopping and starting and controlling power delivery more accurate... the gearboxes are not upgraded in race bikes in a way that makes them stronger. racers train 3 brakes front rear and engine... to fast you need the egnine. They have whats called a constant mesh gearbox and using the clutch can actually cause unnecessary wear as apposed to what most people think.

@emilchandran546 6 жыл бұрын

It can actually be done without any damage if you match the revs. (That goes for both bikes and cars) (Also the gears are always in mesh in a car but you can always get to neutral too, so it’s actually almost easier, sequential gearbox is different, but isn’t the reason you can do this)

I'm pretty sure down shifting on a 2 stroke without the clutch and without revs is a good way to ruin your bike. If I'm wrong correct me please

Steve Jobs why would it matter whether it’s 2T or 4T? Those are just different ways of getting power into the gearbox. Answer is it doesn’t.

This is how I learned to corner when I was a kid and it has become the worst habit I still cant break. I almost cant do corners without locking up the the rear end. I have learned to make it work but Id say if your just starting out take your time and learn proper cornering technique. Definitely more beneficial in the long run

Title: how to shift dirt bike Video: try and shift mid air 😂

@braydonarthur9355 5 жыл бұрын

Personally, I don't use the clutch when shifting. It can be beneficial to the motor and create less wear on parts, if you do it right. Basically, all you do is when your wanting to shift, put pressure on the shift lever slighty before your desired rpm. When you reach your desired rpm, let off the gas while keeping pressure on the shifter and she'll click in almost by herself. If you do it right you won't need to let off fully, maybe a half throttle to quarter throttle lift from wide open. To do it while not letting off the throttle fully it all depends on how fast you snap the throttle off. All your doing is taking the tension and pressure off of the mainshaft in the transmission, allowing the gears too mesh easier. This is most definitely better than using the clutch while shifting, for 2 reasons: A) its a much faster shift than pulling the clutch in, and B) Its better than powershifting (pulling in clutch and shifting with no lift of the throttle), its just as quick if not faster of a shift if your good at it than powershifting, but you don't wear your clutch out as quick AND you don't rev the piss out of the bike for that split second.

You are putting stress on the shift forks by preloading the shift lever with out shifting. Just wait until you let off the gas a tad. If you are not chewing gum, you should be able to time it well. :)
