This video is for those who want to learn to ride a motorcycle on a Kawasaki KLR 650. I show you the basics that you will need to learn to learn how to ride. I strongly recommend you take the Motorcycle Safety Course, this will also give you a waiver to skip the driving test.

Very well explained !!! I just got my first gear motorcycle and it’s a klx 650 so understanding how this bike works when shifting gears it’s quite important. Thank you!

It is what I chose. And I've quickly leaned that you need to respect a bike of this size when learning how to ride.

Holding down the clutch pedal or staying in neutral for too long while riding a motorcycle can cause the vehicle to freewheel, which is known as "coasting". Coasting is dangerous because it reduces the rider's control of the motorcycle.

Guys, don’t ride the clutch - good way to decrease the life of it. For shifting, get up to around 3k 1-2nd, 3400 rpm 2-4th, and ~4k rpm for 4-5th. Shift smoothly, but decisive. Riding within the friction zone is not what you want to do.

Just bought a klr 650 never rode a bike in my life nor do I have an m1 or whatever it's called. Sitting in the raleys parking lot in placerville CA wondering how the hell I'm going to ride it home 30 miles down 50west. Stalled it thrice. Came back to my car to search a video on 1st time klr650 and bam. Haven't watched yet. Hope it helpful

I’m 6”6 and work on it fine, I’m guessing your a lot bigger/taller but you can always modify the shift lever

I've just ordered this bike as my first bike down here in Australia and there is something I haven't given much thought to and never asked the dealer, Kawasaki's website says this bike has a return transmission. Can I just pull the clutch in and tap down from 5th to 1st with one pull of the clutch? Or do I have to actually engage and disengage the clutch for each lower gear?
