Thanks. I'm just starting out and I was pulling the throttle back too early, before letting the clutch out enough and was revving especially from 1st to 2nd gear. This was very helpful. thank you.

I just got my license about 2 weeks ago and wasn’t comfortable shifting gears. I’ve never drove a manual car either so I didn’t understand the concept. I watched your video twice and went out there and practiced! Took what I’ve learned and got it right on the first try! I even went on my neighborhood road and shifted up to the 3rd gear! I was able to feel and hear when I shifted smoothe. I feel so much more comfortable and confident. Thank you so much for the video. I already subscribed and cannot wait to watch more and learn!

@@egyjuice Im 44 and am just starting to learn to ride... , Ive ridden quite a few 'twist and go' scooters on some pretty crazy roads in Thailand and loved it but Ive never learned to ride a real motorcycle, nothing with a clutch and gears that required any real skills... So now Ive just bought all my safety gear and I have my first lesson in a couple of weeks.... Everyday at the moment I go from super excitement- 'finally Im actually gonna do this' ' cant wait to pass my test and start practicing' to shitting my pants- 'oh my god, can I really do this...! Can I learn all this stuff? , do I have the coordination?, the reactions, the concentration, the ability to always have slow hands even in an emergency.... everything its gonna take to be a good rider' Thank god for fast Eddie's awesome teaching style and zen-like approach everytime I have a little bit of doubt I watch another bunch of his videos, this one and the braking ones especially Ive watched heaps of times over... Im a firm believer that its never too late to learn anything and I can't wait, it something Ive always wanted to do but Im not afraid to admit I am also a little scared... I think moreso than I wouldve been in my 20s but maybe thats a good thing...

@@egyjuice Hi Yasser, I'm 62 and just started riding. Previous experience was only a small trail bike when I was a teenager for one or two seasons and the MSF course. Take the MSF course and that may give you some idea if you want to pursue riding further. Some states issue your motorcycle endorsement at the end of the class if you pass the written and riding tests. Then your first bike should be small, light and easy to handle to make learning and beginning to ride easier and less intimidating. Also get and wear gear.

The MSF should seriously incorporate your videos into their material. It may be your delivery but you have a talent for breaking things down into simple terms and explaining in a direct and concise/understandable way. Even after riding for 6 years and watching videos and reading and practicing, when i watch your videos, I always manage to learn something different or get better at something. I always feel like I am learning from your successes and failures. It really is amazing ! Please keep up the great educational work and it's an honour to support you !

Adjusting the clutch lever makes a HUGE difference. My hands are smaller and my bike came with a friction zone that was wayyyy out. I dealt with it for a while, but then changed it and it makes all the difference. It took not that long to get used to and helped with clutch control, starting from a stop, basically everything

This seem to be conflicted in this area.

I've been watching loads of your videos. The video and sound quality is always amazing, but what really blows me away, is how well and thoroughly you explain stuff! You go at a nice pace, slow enough to be able to absorb the info you are transmitting, but not so slow it becomes mind numbing and boring. You really have teaching talent. Every single video I have watched, makes total sense and i have fully understood every last bit. I'm very detail driven and I don't feel at all confident, until I know everything! (no matter the subject) and when I watch your videos, I feel fully informed. Every time I finish watching your videos, I just wish I had a bike, to go try it out on :-D I feel SO bloody confident, I would be able to do it. After watching any of your videos, I have NO questions at the end! Teaching is definitely not for everyone, but you were made for this! :-D . Just telling you this, 1 so you know that your work is highly appreciated and, to hopefully reassure you, that your teaching style is spot on and needs no adjustment whatsoever. You deserve every subscriber you have and I have no doubt, you will get plenty more. Thanks for all your great work.

You should be teaching at bike courses Eddie, from beginners to advanced. Brilliant how chilled and nice you make it seem. Can you do a video about tips to change gear quickly and smoothly for intermediate or advanced riders please. I think the advanced riders call it pre loading the gear lever when you sort of press the lever a little bit just before you come off the throttle and then pull in the clutch lever and then click it into gear but I'm having trouble getting used to it because I often over think it. Maybe it's just like that spot on theory you have about the Breathing, Walking and Riding, it'll just come in time when it's ingrained as muscle memory.

Another great dose of wisdom thanks to ur teachings I am know able to go to the front of the line and take of first at a red light knowing I won’t stall. I just keep cool and focus on playing the piano. It has taken a lot of practice and applying what u show us. What would u recommend in the case of approaching intersection where the light has been green for awhile I get a lil anxious 😦 . What I do is prepare for the intersection by slowing enough not to get hit from the back but ready enough to stop if i get yellow where it is to risky to gun it ( that is my mental process right now which causes me tighten up a bit any feedback would be appreciated) I been practicing right turns from a stop and I’m getting better with keeping it tight vs taking up two lanes just to turn right like a semi 🚚 lol
@MotoJitsu 5 жыл бұрын
Thanks! For an intersection, I slow down and look both ways for stupid to blow through it...if it's been green a while, I get ready to stop or go a bit faster, it all depends on if there's someone close behind me. If there is, I won't stop fast because they'll probably come close to or actually hit me...I may speed up if someone isn't going to try and turn either...all depends.
@alex-jandoruelas8322 5 жыл бұрын
K yes that makes sense to many variables I will be aware of all those scenarios and keep practicing until I can process everything faster and not really have to think about it just react. There was once a time when I wasn't feeling confident enough to go to the front and now I can thanks again for taking time to help us all 👍

noooo way if you're hypothetically in 4 gear you can keep kicking down when shifting, I always thought you had to do the shifting process each time all the way to 1st, that's how I've been doing it for months 😂😂

Hey Fast Eddie, i actually wanted to ask you something in relation to this. What you mentioned is actually what i’ve been doing ever since i got my endorsement...Lets say i’m in fifth gear and i want to drop down into second before approaching a tight turn. Most times when i drop down multiple gears it is completely smooth but i’ve had few occasions where i’ve locked up the rear. Does this just mean that i had let go of the clutch too soon for the speed i was going for that lower gear? And i should have slowed down much further before letting the clutch out? Also do you have any advice for bikes which experience a lot of engine breaking
@MotoJitsu 5 жыл бұрын
@@IM-nt6ql yes...you either released too fast or too soon...you can just use the brakes and slow a bit more before pulling in the clutch and downshifting :)

I practice this in all my manual cars, but watching this video was the perfect translation for a bike. It was weird enough for me getting over the dry to wet clutch change, but, all of your videos have been wonderful, and I feel in 5 weeks I've learned more than what most msf participants in my area would have. Thanks again for all your content, maybe I can swing by San Diego one of these days.

I'm soon going to try out a CBR 600 for the first time. I'm already very comfortable with driving a manual car and know how to rev match properly. The only experience I have with a motorcycles is riding a moped with 1 effective gear, so this really helps in understanding the anatomy of a proper bike. Thanks a bunch!

What I did gain is simple but helpful. Roll the throttle forward to cut it completely. At times I’ll mistakenly add throttle because my hand is on the throttle. But doing simply rolling forward completely assured cutting it off. Great videos. Just randomly found your channel. Did total control beginner at Visalia Ca and Intermediate class mid December in Fresno.

I’ve watched hundreds of videos and attended the MSF equivalent in my country… this is the first that has explained the throttle/clutch movements as seperate rather initially than saying “it’s one fluid movement”… I know that it should end up one fluid movement as you become experienced with the movement, but it made it so hard to figure out how to get my muscles to do it. I’d do often not roll off the throttle and have such a jolting ride. Also was never told you can keep changing gears without letting out the clutch between each downshift. Thank you!!
