Used a lot of these techniques when I learned how to drive a manual and when I teach others to drive manuals. Translating that to motorcycles (mostly dirt bikes/quads) was weird at first, but like anything it takes practice. Going to keep watching these videos before I take the MSF. Can never learn too much Great stuff, Dan.

Coming from a country where automatic gearing is just reserved for high end vehicles (or people with disabilities), I think we have an easier time learning how to drive a bike. Sure, the process is opposite from a car (clutch in hand, gear in foot vs clutch in foot, gear in hand), but at least we already understand the concept of a friction zone (we call it "doing the clutch point" in my language), rev matching and gear shifting. We suppose we have an advantage in that vs the US, where automatic is the norm. Even people who don't have a car license before taking the bike license, we all know that there's a thing you need to press before shifting a gear.

I took my Basic Rider course today and the bike's friction zone was like 4.6-4.8
@D3nn1s 3 жыл бұрын
My friction zone is at 4 lol. At first i was like wth is this, but now i really like it since i only have to pull the lever in about a cm to shift. I obvz pull it in more but it allows for really quick shifts.

Hi Dan, I've been watching your videos and you have wonderful advice. As a female rider, I want some advice about what if you can only one foot the bike. Not even flat foot, but tip toe. I cannot duck waddle back and I have to push the bike back by jumping off it and on. Would you be using both brakes? Back and front at the friction zone when stopping if you can't reach the floor with both feet? Appreciate for your advice for a very very short beginner rider.

“My bike’s way too heavy to move by just the friction zone. Only when it’s pointing down a hill or at least at a flat surface the bike will actually slightly move forward by the friction zone”.
@jacoblorei9361 3 жыл бұрын
Looking for all advice I can get. I want to get into motorcycles however my parents are not fond of the idea. I love in a place where we do have paved streets however many potholes. Would it be wise for a first bike to be a dual sport to counteract this? Previously I wanted a mini bike like a grom just to drive for fun I already have a car so this would not be my primary form of transportation.
@sorayaimperial 3 жыл бұрын
I'd say that learning how to swerve and avoid potholes should be your main focus! We have this problem as well, not with potholes, but with sewer lids that have colapsed. Then, get a bike with a nice rugged suspension and a bit of ground clearance. Dual sport is an option, but then you get a bit more restricted if you ever want to go on a longer ride, unless you buy a KTM super adventure or an Africa Twin (which are quite heavy and devilish and not very good at first bikes). ADVs would be great, something like the Versys or V-Strom. Cruisers and mini bikes are a no-no if there's that many potholes, cruisers not only because of lower ride height but also because they are heavier and slower to swerve. Sport bikes, especially if you are not very experienced, can cause you to open throttle as you go through a hole and yeet yourself (done that in class, going up a 2cm step, crashed the 90's supersport and myself into a parked lorry). I got an NC700x as my first bike, which is a weird mix of an ADV-type bike in terms of height, but is not well suited for actual offroad and is more of a commuter. Think of it as a street naked but higher, with an engine that runs and sounds like a car, and fuel mileage that can rival a scooter. Handles potholes just great, and I've actually lowered it (making it more unstable and rougher to ride in bumps, but still manages pretty well). Edit: my parents hated the idea of me getting a bike. So I took the bike license after I don't live at home anymore (I'm 27, lol). Then I bought a bike, and they have NO idea that I did so :D It was the only way to fulfil my bike dream without causing my family to disown me or something.

I know this isn't related but for first bike I have no idea what to get. I like the Husqvarna svartpilen 401 over the Duke and I am looking at the Honda cb500f and the 650r but that one is a little pricey lol. I'm just looking for a decent naked bike that will be reliable and would be able to ride for years to come without wanting more.
@Lee-sr4ye 3 жыл бұрын
Some cruisers like the dct or the rebel 500(just looking throught Honda rn) but the weight of them might worry me.

Got my first bike a few months ago (like 4 months or so), so I think I know how you feel. Ultimately the lesson I've learned is it's a 3-step process: 1) Find the kind of bike you want. I wanted a Naked bike, I didn't want a sport or a cruiser. I wanted a naked bike, it felt like the most appropriate for me. A friend of mine is getting into motorcycles herself, she's pretty small in size so she's going cruiser (actually she's going with a Rebel 500). 2) Don't buy too powerful. Trust me, my bike, even though it's not powerful when compared to other bikes, is already plenty powerful enough, it took me a while to get used to it compared to cars. On motorcycles, you have to be sooooo light with your clutch, throttle, and break inputs it's actually insane. Less powerful bike = easier to learn how to ride bikes. You already have to learn how to ride a bike, don't make it harder. I would say 25-35 kW is the best (about 33-46 hp). 3) Buy secondhand. The thing is, when you're learning, you're much more prone to make mistakes. Meaning you're much more prone to drop your bike or do really anything bad to it. Meaning your repair bills are gonna be higher than a few years down the line when you're more experienced. I liked to tell myself I was gonna be careful and it was gonna be fine.... lol yeah right I dropped my bike within two weeks of getting it. It was stupid as well, I was completely stopped but the road was crooked to the right, so I... I dropped it to the right, thankfully it only meant the rear break was rendered unusable, no other damage, but I had to pay that repair bill. So I ended up with a 2006 Yamaha MT-03 with 30'000 km on it (about 18.5k miles) with 33 hp that I paid just straight up with cash, for 2500 Swiss Francs. I am soooo eternally grateful that I made that decision because DAMN I can't imagine going through what I went through on a brand new 6-9k bike that I had to pay back a loan on.

@@alyeanna I also am looking at naked bikes and know someone else that is short and might get a cruiser lol. Only problem I have with a smaller bike is while it's easier to learn which is great I don't want to worry about "growing out of it". That Honda 650 is a really nice bike but I'm sure I'd be very worried about any damage to it. And with buying used, I know it's better because it is cheaper and less worrying about the bike in general, I don't think I know enough about motorcycles to spot a good one or a bad one and I don't know anybody that knows about them either. I very well could end up buying used on a bike and then having to fix it enough to where it cost just as much as a new one. New or used I'll worry about the bike but a new one a little more Also: newer ones have some safety features

@@Lee-sr4ye Have you considered the Kawasaki Versys 650? They are readily available used, very reliable, inexpensive to maintain, and easy to work on. I've heard from several people on the discord that they are very forgiving and easy to ride. A great starter but also powerful enough to stay with for a few years.

You need to show and talk by example about starting fast from a stop, stop sign, red light etc. You had a video showing a new rider starting from a stop turning right and ended up over shooting and hitting a car because he didn’t know how to use the throttle and clutch properly. That is something you need to focus on.
