One of the questions I get the most is how do I shift a motorcycle for beginners? So I put this video together to help make shifting a motorcycle for beginners easy. Learn how to shift a motorcycle using a simple three-step method.

Hey, i absolutely love your videos and i love your energy. You bring an excitement for me because you're such a kind demonstrator- I have many men in my family who ride bikes, from scooters to an R1. Ive always been a backpack rider, and now i'm all in on getting my motorcycle license. I have no knowledge on manual, but with too much eagerness and determination to learn it on a bike, i bought a second-hand 2002 HONDA VTR 250. Ive managed to grasp onto the concept and been shifting from first to second and back down - on repeat. I have no one to help me as my family is traditional and quite sexist on a girl riding- let alone even having interest in it. I have a quiet suburb and my neighbours are surprisingly really cool with me going around the block unlicensed while learning.. they can see how determined I am. I finally decided to book my MSF/Rider Safe Course as its not worth getting caught or injured unlicensed- i.m attending the course in 7 days. I noticed you shifted from 4th gear to 1st gear by keeping open the clutch. Is that pretty common and safe for all riders? Ive been desperate to hit 3rd and 4th gear as my confidence is getting way better, but the thought of having to downshift one at a time and quickly before reaching a stop; makes me super nervous. Thanks again for your great videos and sorry to blab it all out.. needing some guidance and i respect you heaps. Much love from Australia.

This is amazing, I was looking everywhere for somebody to explain to me WHEN to shift. Every Google search came up with HOW, but didn’t explain WHEN and I was so frustrated. I didn’t even know you could downshift multiple gears at once, I thought you had to do the whole process each time all the way to first gear. Until this video that I decided to watch from my recommendations the next day even though I have seen how to shift a bike before. And the best part is, you do the demonstration on the bike I want to buy! Thank you so so much!!!!! ❤🎉

After having a bike for about 9 months and ~750 miles (max) ridden senior year of high school, I sold my bike before moving states for college. Graduated college last may and looking at getting a bike again after close to 5 years off. These vids are helping so much w/ rebuilding my confidence as I get closer to actually purchasing another bike. Still not sure how I'll handle a test ride because I'll want to practice in a parking lot before getting on public roads and going through all the gears but after watching these I feel a lot more confident I'll be able to find a way to get it done safely. One question - and I know this is an old video so not really expecting a reply but still curious - I don't think you mentioned braking during the downshifting process. Is this because it should be common sense that you would be applying slight brake pressure to decelerate leading to downshifting or do you just primarily release throttle to slow down a bit and engine brake by downshifting? Thanks for the great videos!

I watched the video prior to this and I just want to say thank you. Thank you for including us women. All of the hobbies that I’ve ever enjoyed, I’ve always been told that it’s “for boys”. I use to ride dirt bikes when I was around 15 years old, so I needed a little refresher before I go take my class. I’m wanting to ride on the road and get a sport bike. I know this video is from a year ago, but if you see this. How was the 400 for you and do you wish that you had a 600? I hear a lot of good things about the 400, but I’m told to get a 600.
