Thanks brotha! I appreciate you for watching!

Thank you for advice! It is a little frustrating but I have been a lot better the last few days of not hitting neutral. I will try this next time I ride. I appreciate it, and thanks for watching!

@@MotoTSJ You're welcome! Enjoyed seeing you ride on the freeway for the first time and got flashbacks to how imposing it was for me at first too.

@@WindyWalk it was definitely fun and intense lol. I’ll slowly practice with more traffic as I get more miles under my belt!

I had this (and I eventually still have) sort of problem, because I tend to not go wham on the rpm`s when I'm riding around my neighbourhood, what I did was not only shifting on lower rpms but also not really kicking the gears. Even if you are at low rpm if you really kick the second up, with purpose it will go into second. Yes, sometimes it still happens to shift into neutral, but rarely. So, the tips: 1- Really kick the gears when shifting, don't go easy on them. 2- Try to use more of your rpm range before shifting into a higher gear.

Yes go oilers! Haha yeah it looks like I’m racing my shadow, like horizon the video game

thanks man! That would be a trip for sure

was looking to get a zx4rr how is the weight comparison dont really know the weight of the 500

Congrats on your 40th anniversary! Those are sweet looking, it was my 4th option of the Ninja 500 color schemes. Yeah it’s insane how it doesn’t feel like you’re going that fast! These bikes are very nimble and forgiving. I will eventually want my dream bike, ZX10r. Ride safe man!

@@itsshadowuser9536 the ninja 500 is about 375 Lbs. and zx4rr is 415 lbs

@@itsshadowuser9536don’t do that bro get something else that bike is so over priced look at other options

Thanks for watching i appreciate it!

Thank you for watching! I will ride safe!

Thanks for the tip I appreciate it! Didn’t think of that haha. Ride safe brotha!!

Sweet! Thanks for watching! What color are you getting?

@@MotoTSJ I subbed too bro! And I’m just getting an all black one my buddy has the red one so we gunna be looking dope af 😂

@@mastercap4207 that’s awesome, you guys will enjoy those bikes, they are fun 😈

@@mastercap4207 that’s awesome man! Thanks for the support!!

@@MotoTSJ of course dude you seem very genuine and like I said I liked the videos, I look forward to more!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks bro! 😎

I did mess with the shift lever down there, I have riding boots, but I may mess with it more to find the sweet spot. Still messing around with the clutch lever too. Over time I’ll find the right spot for me. Thanks for tips and supporting my channel!

What color is your ninja?

Thank you! I would enjoy that as long as they lose

What’s up brother!!

Thanks for watching! When do you plan on getting your Yamaha mt 07?! Those are sweet bikes

@@MotoTSJ next month

@@darksabex9772 awesome! Ride safe once you get it brotha! 🤙

Thanks for watching! Do you ride?

Thanks! Ride safe when you get one! What bike do you want or plan on getting?

That makes sense, I did move the friction zone of the clutch around, trying to find my sweet spot for it

Thanks for watching!! what bike do you have?

@@MotoTSJ gsxr 600 .. ride safe bro

I think I have found the sweet spot, I appreciate your input!! Thanks for watching!

Gotcha, it’s been annoying but I don’t think I’ve hit neutral in about a week! I definitely have been kicking up harder lol. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate the advice! I have messed around with it and it’s much better now!

Haha it was early morning on a Sunday. It does get backed up but not as nearly as bad as LA. Been there a few times and it’s insane

Thank you for this tip, I appreciate it. Thanks for watching and ride safe!!

Try to learn as much as possible in the MSF course, and maybe practice a little more after the course before hitting the freeway. Just be careful and go at your own pace in the freeway. It sounds scary but it’s not to bad

Great question! I am 5’10 and 150lbs. I wear a size 10. My riding boots did not have any troubles with shifting, I did have to adjust the lever to fit my foot in there though, took few mins to do that. The stock exhaust is definitely huge, I did take mine off for a Leo Vince GP Corsa. You can check my most popular video and see the difference! I can flat foot the ninja very easily. I would suggest sitting on this one and a few other bikes to see how they feel.

I bet man! I plan on getting a quad lock soon. Definitely will be handy for navs, ride safe brother!

@@MotoTSJ godspeed my friend, ride safe!

Gotcha! Thanks for the help. I just need to shift harder up I guess. What’s the best way to go about this if I do hit Neutral and I’m 20 mph? Do I just go back down to first then up shift on second with some throttle?

@@MotoTSJ honestly id just go straight up to second, but my gear ratios are a lot different than yours, i normally don’t shift into second until 30-35 or so.

@@nebulaftw7260 that makes sense. I’ll try that next time. Yeah I usually got to shift around 17-22ish into second

Thanks man! I appreciate the tips and you ride safe as well! I’m a new rider still, got 6 weeks under my belt. How are you liking your Ninja 500? Done any mods yet?

Yeah this comment. Just be more definitive with your upshift. It will come with practice

@@Noony79 thank you! It’s been much better

Yes, it was suggesting to start at lower RPMS but I increased it as I hit the next threshold. I’m about to hit the 600 mile break in period. Then I may turn it up more to maybe around 6k or turn it off.

@@MotoTSJ how do you adjust it?

@@dustinvance736 it’s on your tac screen, in settings. Just hold the 2 buttons down to access your settings and you can adjust many things for your Tac screen.

lol Idaho! I love it here, thanks for watching!!

@@MotoTSJ yeah ofc

Leovince GP Corsa Matte, it sounds perfect to me!

So if I’m cruising at 80, I can downshift to 4th? The bike will just slow its self down? The manual says to downshift at certain mph from going down to the next gear though.

⁠@@MotoTSJ Exactly man. The manual gives pretty bad advice too, shifting at this speed and that? Using sound is better, it lets you know when to shift. You can just hear it when the bike needs to shift. Its ok to do these as a beginner but once you get more comfortable, it becomes a second nature. Also, there’s this guy on youtube that can explain what I was saying in my original comment better kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6l5aJt6u7q0YXk.htmlsi=cFArqmKAnVyKOrwk at around 5:30, he talks about how downshifting slows down the bike without having to use much break power at all. He also talks about rev matching and when to rev match. I pointed it out earlier that you should rev match at higher speeds because if you’re rev matching later then what are you really rev matching for? Hope this helps and you take it as a constructive criticism, it might be a lot to take in for a beginner. I think its important to keep learning ways to become a better and safer rider.

I would like to also advice that if you end up using the method of engine breaking, that you must tap on the front break to activate your breaklight and let others know you're slowing down. When you do there should be a clicky feeling to it, might be harder to notice with gloves on.

​@@KhanesJi usually drag the rear brake a bit. It doesnt upset the bike as much as tappink the front. It draws the back end down a bit instead of diving the front end more.

@@KhanesJ I appreciate the help, I am all for learning more ways to be a safer rider! I will check his video out and work on this!

I use the purple panda mic, got it on Amazon. I’ll make a video of all my equipment I use soon!

I plan on doing many night rides with the go pro! Very soon! Thanks for watching

Thanks for the support! I think top speed is 119

It was Sunday morning at 730 am. Thanks for watching!
