There is one thing about the clutch that doesn't get mentioned enough. Not only does the clutch has to be let out slowly, it has to be let out slowly THE WHOLE WAY. I've noticed in countless videos of people crashing when learning to ride because they start letting out slowly and as soon as the bike starts to move even a little bit, they dump the clutch causing them to lose control. Its important that it gets let out slowly but needs to be explicitly stated that it needs to be slow the entire time even when starting to move.

@CaptainChrom Жыл бұрын

This is exactly what I have been doing all the time when starting out. Slowly try to find the friction zone and as soon as I feel movement just let it out completely. Luckily my small cc engine instantly stalled whenever I did it. That forced me to learn it the right way.

@Lar065 20 күн бұрын

I literally found that out today after stalling a million times just started riding 😂

@inkydoug Жыл бұрын

The biggest problem with snapping the clutch lever out and chopping the throttle (besides the danger) is that you will never have any chance of getting the feel of how you should be controlling your bike. By easing the clutch out and rolling the gas on and off slowly you will start developing a feel of how they work together and and you can start getting better.

"Slow your hands down". I like that a lot. The exact opposite of what I was doing as a beginner. Well, I'm STILL a beginner but whatever. Good stuff!!

On my very first motorcycle ride I got 5 x combo: 1. I did tried to learn motorcycle by myself ( I am very DIY man ) 2. I was driving 650cc thumper (nx650 Dominator) 3. I dropped clutch while opening throttle 4. I did wheelie 5. As I DID NOT do flat wrist, wheelie caused whiskey throttle... I ended on the ground after hitting light pole at the end of the street while driving on back wheel. Spent few days in intensive care unit, few months of recovery. Please do not repeat my mistakes - start with 125cc and instructor.

However the wind has really messed with me almost to the point that im hesitant to go very far. Ive spoken to several experienced riders and know that i just need to relax a bit but still im having an issue with it.

@LloydM Жыл бұрын

it's weird seeing items we were using back in club racing 20 years ago (that we essentially made ourselves), now standard equipment on bikes. Those bar end / hand guards have evolved from just a small piece off the end of the bar, to getting larger and curving back inwards (MotoGP and WSBK started using them around a decade ago) and now they have evolved to completely wrap back in to the triple clamp area. We originally did it for those small, low speed spills to try and prevent the clutch and brake levers from snapping off, as the bike slid on its side. Anything to save money in the club racing scene.😂

@Luggruff Жыл бұрын

Well, according to MotoJitsu (and Moto Control and more) for example, the 2-3 finger clutch is good for: Having better grip on the handle bar with 1-2 fingers, AND also spacing of the clutch, so you can eliminate the dead space you need to move through before the biting point, resulting in not only more accurate clutching but also faster accurate clutching when you need to get out of dodge. I can easily see how having to move through the dead space in the beginning can mess you up if you need to get going fast (vehicle coming up fast behind you in a red light etc..).

Another thought: brakes are made for stopping. Clutch is made to bring engine and transmission together smoothly. Used as intended will add miles to your rear tire. Where did the habit of downshifting at cruise speeds instead of using brakes to slow down come from? I can see wanting to get most power from high rpm’s when racing…but guys, save that for the track… please?

How do you use the front brake at zero throttle without having extreme engine braking or the bike trying to stall?

@Luggruff Жыл бұрын

I just took my license, at the same time learning to ride for the first time, and after a while I found that this only happens at low speeds, or at speed, if you're in too high of a gear. When breaking, shift down to the gear you expect to use at the speed you are aiming for (if that is going from high speed to low speed, do it progressively, of course).

Snapping throttle while sitting still is sort of “tradition” from back in the old carburetor days when goosing the gas was necessary to stay running when cold. Guys thought it sounded cool. Today there is ZERO reason to turn throttle except when going forward. It’s also better for emissions and noise to use only when necessary. Also a sign of the times to have to explain the safe use of a clutch.

@Luggruff Жыл бұрын

As a new rider, I find myself doing this just to keep myself updated on how much force I need to use to get to the right RPM for taking off from a stopped position. Even when I have a good feel for the bike, I still do it to better be safe than sorry. Not constantly of course, but a few times while stopped, and only up to about 1500-3000 RPM depending on the situation.

Best new rider advice never get near streets without at least 1 yr in dirt bikes in dirt. Learn to ride in safest area as possible and traffic and concrete is not it. Smaller lighter bike can fall a bunch not die or even get hurt bad in dirt slower than 1000 cc sport bike on road. I road 8 yrs from 6 to 14 before getting on street, had I not i would have ended up like a few guys I went to high school with. first bikes were street bike more than a few did not live long enough to graduate. Cars and trucks are no place to learn basic riding skills. One mistake on street can kill you, i made a thousand in the dirt and never even broke a bone. Dirt is softer than concrete, trees do not move and try to run you over. never had a bush cut me off.
