If it’s your first time riding ALWAYS wear protection, gloves, helmet, jacket.
Yeah I learned that lesson very quickly
If it's your last time riding.. always wear protection gear. My parents just tried to save 3 people a week ago on a vacation trip on two bikes that hit each other at a cross on a highway. One didn't stop at the light. No one made it out alive. They fought for an hour to save them with paramedic experience, until authorities arrived and took the scene. No helmets..no gear. Ground his face in half and was still breathing. Think before you ride family.
Stay safe!
It was most definitely the leaves for sure my guy!! Watch out for those and also grass blown from the lawn mower
Appreciate the tips bro !
Leaf Ericson ! 😆 Time to get back on the horse and stay away from low traction situations. Glad your ok dude.
Great bikes! I’m on my second one. Have fun and be safe!)
You slid on those leaves. 😮
I suggest learning on dirt. Stay safe out there.
I will be looking forward to your next video too .
Crashes happen to all of us bro don't be ashamed jus learn from it, and jus relax when your riding don't be shaky or tense and you'll get more friendly and familiar with your bike, good video be safe out there and always have fun 💯😎
Appreciate that bro, I’ll definitely start practicing that more.
Id recommend doing the safety foundation course first before trying to ride one. That chain needs replaced first lol
Yeah I agree the MSF course is a must. & ima definitely do that
respect for gettin back to work. It was 100% the leaves. Most people loose motivation after something like that
Hey man, just wanted to say that you shouldn't use tools to tighen down an oil filter. Just tighten them down by hand and you'll be alright, the tools might make it harder to take off.
Also make sure to dip your finger in some of the new oil to spread on the oil filter's rubber gasket. Saw your newer vids and like what you're doing, keep it up!
The way u flip off that bike so smooth bruh it’s crazy 😂😂
Bro, literally drove through leaves not realizing they have a wax coating. That’s extremely slick.
I always get grips first, but i do respect the drive to get back on it. From the initial takeoff i knew something was bound to happen lol Tires, Tires, Tires, and rotors Pads, etc. If you cant stop or grip your screwed. Also bike was quite large in cc size for your first, just always remember Gear+MSF+Maintained bike+no speeding= ALIVE p.,s you fell because you were dragging leg and facing that direction
I couldn’t agree with you more, I definitely took a step bike to get a better grip of what I was working with. And yeah that sounds like a good formula to me ✅
Definitely a nice bike had a lot of fun on it
Just be safe Always wear your protected gears because you don't know what will happen when you're there
Your 100% right, always gotta be prepared for the unexpected
I have that same bike, it’s pretty fast for a first bike. I bought it from a guy who crashed it, I had to put new plastics and a stator cover on it. These are serious bikes and yes wear gear and take your time to learn how to ride safely. Practice skills in a parking lot or something. I started riding decades ago and I still practice new skills.
Yeah I agree, it definitely is a lot more power than I expected. But i appreciate that advice. There’s always more to learn
The 1st thing you do wrong when you put it in gear. You see you have your foot understand you have to balance a bike to move it off 2nd thing. Yes it could be the leaf because if it's wet underneath and we'll hit it a different angle it will make The bike blues control
Bet that!
this is very well done!
I appreciate that, I’m just trying to get 1% better each video
Of course it was the leaves! And, they're 100 more slippery when they're wet or just damp. Many moons ago, when I was a Lineman for NJ Bell Telephone Company, my friend & coworker, Sal Garcia, bought a beautiful, brand new BMW touring motorcycle, & he drove it up to New Hampshire for the weekend to see all the colorful Fall foliage...he had never ridden the big before that weekend. He was coming around a curve up in New Hampshire going from bright light into shade & he hit a patch of "black ice" & damp leaves...the bike immediately slid out from under him & separated from him & he slid along the roadway (in brand new helmet & full leather pants, jacket, boots, & gloves) right into an oncoming pickup truck...he was killed instantly...he was a young man, newly married to a beautiful woman, & earning a great living...he was the guy who trained me at Installation...I still remember it like yesterday--after our shift on Friday afternoon, he & I threw a football back & forth for a little while in the Garage parking lot...he left for his weekend trip the next morning...that Monday morning, when I came into work, the told me, "Sal is dead." Man, that pained me very deeply, & it still does now remembering it...I remember going to his viewing, & I kneeled at his casket & said a prayer with my other buddy & coworker, Ken Pieklo...after we stood back up, Sal's sister approached us & thanked us both for coming...I had never met her before, & I offered her my condolences...she smiled & thanked me...I looked over her shoulder, & I noticed Sal's wife, whom he had introduced me to once before, sitting in the front row of the small chapel inside the mortuary, quietly weeping...it is one of the saddest images in my memory...RIP Sal...&, RIP to all of the other countless riders out there who have taken their final fall...please do follow you own sound advice 🙏
Def the leaves. Wet leaves are even worse!
Them leaves did that keep pushing u Maryland what part just got a bike to
600 are FAST. People sleep on them. They made for racing. Faster then a 650 for sure
The same thing happen to me the first time I hopped on my bike. I had ZERO experience.
Quick Question
Have you cleaned the carbs? It sounds like it's not running on all cylinders.
Best of luck to you!!
#BeSafe
great narrative
avoid anything loose on the road surface!
Definitely wasn't the leaves. One of the most important things you can do on any bike is get weight on the pegs. Without it, you have no stability on the bike, and the bike itself isn't going to have the same traction it would otherwise have with your feet perched up on the pegs.
Leaves can make things sketchy but it won't make you crash if you're riding correctly - otherwise every MX, ADV, DualSport rider on the planet would do nothing but crash 100% of the time.
Get some riding gear, and maybe hop on a dirt bike and ride around in some loose stuff to start with. Learning to ride dirt first makes paved riding a cakewalk.
Everything on a bike is about finesse and practice. We all crash, especially those of us that ride dirt. Just gotta get back up and keep going - it's a part of the process.
Oh, and keep the rubber side down!
This is the reason why a Motorcycle license is required in most other countries. It will literally save your life. This can also happen at higher speeds, first thing you learn is to avoid leaves, stones, dirt and other debris because it will get you gliding no matter what the state of your tires is.
I definitely hear that
Good on you thanks,get a dirtbike ,kit up jacket etc g find flat dirt lake edge etc no trees ,,,and ride it till it breaks or blows up ,that will learn you
Dry leaves get you every time
It happens. An it def was the leaves. But my first bike I used to drop my suit jjst turning it round an shot lol. They take beatings.
I definitely done that once or twice already, and I appreciate you showing the channel love bro
Leaves and the angle of your turn. Probably would been fine if it was straight. Great build tho!
Hey man would you mind if I include this in a compilation? It'll be credited and linked back to your channel.
Yeah go ahead
@@icysisland Thanks
Protector, helmet please and respect the power!!!
Got you ! And I most definitely have respect for the power now.
That’s rlly a rlly fast bike for not rlly knowing how to ride just be careful on the gas man
And lesson learned from hitting leafs
So don’t hit leafs, gravel still like that and try to turn or hit the break
I appreciate the advice bro, & I agree it definitely caught me off guard. I been working at it lately though .
@@icysisland humble of you. take it easy on the gas man, i got surgury not to long ago because of a highside, i advise the youtube chanel "moto jitsu" great instructor, doesnt matter if ur riding for 20 years , you can always learn more
Can I ask what he did wrong ? Did he slip on the leaves on the ground ? I don’t see the mistake he made since he was going straight ?
I got that same bike but a 2005 I went down on mines too but my chain caused that to happen tho shit get back on it and ride after u fix it dam good bike bro.
I'll definitely be making sure my chain is straight. I'm glad your good & still out there riding. But yeah I can't wait to really enjoy it once I get it to 100
@@icysisland yea I went down cuz I stretched my bike and didn't change the sprocket on it im still learning the ends and outs I changed it back to the original chain size now I don't have any problems. But I do have to change my head gasket tho before I can start back riding but it's worth the wait lol.
Spray rubbing alcohol on your wind screen let it sit n then wipe it off it won’t be perfect but it will def look better
Hello there, can I feature this video for my youtube edit? I’ll credit you with watermark on screen. Thanks in advance.
Lol wow
Now I got the zzr shit nice.
Just got my first bike as well 07 zx6r. But I pu a new filter and new injectors. I was having similar problems. We have 💩 gas in Washington state 10% ethanal
Congrats brodie, & welcome to the crew! How’s it run after you changed all that? & smh at least you controlling what you can control
@@icysisland it runs great. I smile every time I ride it
Hey mate, would it be nice to feature your clip in my next episode? Credited of course (watermark and link to your channel).
You now know, leaves are a lil slippery. Grab some gloves and a lid, you won’t regret having them.
Front brake?
Sadly yea
Should’ve started with a grom
😂😂 I wanted something I could grow into.
it was not the leaves sir. The bike was thrown off balance because of your riding position. When the bike is in motion your feet and legs should not be extended to the ground, they should be up and on the pedals ...... period............ Always remember-Bike in motion feet on pedals
He thinks it was the leaves 🍁? 😂 it was
😂 I look back now & feel the same way
Hey, may I use this video in my new episode? Full Credited of course
Yeah no problem
@@icysisland Thanks a lot!
Hey Guy, is it OK to feature your clip in a moto edit some time soon? It will be credited in the description & comments section with your name watermarked on the clip. Thanks
Yeah no problem
@@icysisland Thank you very much
Bro, be careful, that is not a beginner bike. Too old, no electronics for you to handle the mistakes you will make as a beginner and definately too much power on the wheel. Also, wear at least helmet and gloves so that you don't die at least, but even a small accident can make your life a mess. I wear a full leather suit whenever I go to the twisties and even with that I know I can get hurt. Enjoy the experience, but have in mind this is not a toy.
What’s going on? Would it be ok if I share this video for an edit of mine? You’ll be fully credited of course. Thanks in advance!
RIP :( Would I be able to use your clip in my compilation! I'll make sure to give credit!
Yeah no problem!
Yeah bro never accelerate thru leaves, sand, debri jus let the bike coast if you can’t avoid it
Bet I’ll definitely remember that
Or use the front break in loose gravel use both rear and front
Bett I appreciate the advice man
Always turn slow on loose gravel dirt sand leaves especially if wet if you cant aviod at all and no front brakes my guy
I definitely appreciate this advice Glooks my g
Many many rookie mistakes. No helmet gloves jacket boots. Turning in pile of leaves. Not a great start. But live and learn. Next ride wait until sunday morning go to.parking lot get comfortable shifting braking turning. Baby steps. Not one damn mod until you get much better. The next crash will just ruin upgrades.
I had that same bike b4 99 zx6r
What color was your joint?
And yep it was the leaves u got to watch out for shit like that bro stay safe.
I appreciate it bro, & I got you
Leaves,water,lane markings, gravel will put you on your ass always wear your gear bro
I gotchu bro
How you’ve been lately?May I share this video for an edit of mine? You’ll be credited with watermark on screen.
Leaves, no helmet, why bruh, why? And check that clogged fuel line
I’d say it’s a combination of inexperience,excitement, & lessons that needed to be learned. But I definitely will check on that line!
Y would you ride in leaves
You used the front break to much even out front and back break when breaking loose gravel
It’s crazy because at that moment I didn’t know anything about braking techniques
It was the Leaves
Lol no question
@@icysisland just be safe out there
First thing to make it "feel like" my own?? That would be: Unlock & Flash the ECU. Then, install a FULL exhaust system accompanied by a mandatory dyno tune. Gotta get the bike runnin' right 💪🏽, FIRST, imo. -🍀
Lol he cannot ride it stock so make it faster. Typical squid reply. Ignore this idiot. His advice is going to kill you. This cat is yrs from ever using all stock power. Doubt you need more hp, more skill for sure
It's carb..
@@metineren6579 Same thing, different path. Take to a VERY knowledgeable mechanic who KNOWS how to tune a "carb" bike(it has "jets" that need to be changed), and dyno tune that bike for MAX performance. It CAN be done. Just gotta find the "right" person to do the jet & dyno work.
Leaves,gravel,dirt,oil on the road will cause you to crash.
Can we just take a moment to realize ok yea it was the leafs but also he has ZERO clutch control basically dumped the clutch when he first took off u can tell he wasn’t ready for it to go. Do urself a favor and learn throttle and clutch control.
Appreciate the advice man & I gotchu
Take a tip from an old fart..work on your balance when your balance is good the confidence will flow...practice riding as slow as you can without putting a foot down is a good start.
rookie move to ride on leaves my dude. try and be careful around any road debris
Appreciate that advice , but im kinda glad I made that mistake. I definitely learned from it though
@@icysisland glad to hear man
Bro u Need to be safe and watch we’re your going. Unbelievable
Bummer
Dress for the slide NOT the ride!
Let of the clutch slower
Its not n zzr its a zx636
I’m not a pro “yet”. No dude your not
😂 maybe one day
Totally not the right bike for a first time rider with no experience or training bud...work your way up to it. Most people have started out riding dirt bikes as kids and getting the feel of riding itself.
Helmet and gloves minimum.
Now imagine that at 80 and you know in a week you will be doing 80 and you have zero skill on bike, please sign organ donor box on license
Lmao can't ride ..you hit the front break in leaves
Bruh get a helmet 🪖 💯
first bike should never be street bike and first rides never on street with any bike. Skills need to be learned in safest place the dirt. more first time riders die on streets due to lack of skill. I grew up around bikes not one of the many kids who went from dirt to street got killed on street. many whos first bikes were on street never saw HS graduation. lack of skill kills more than speed drinking and pretty much any other thing on a bike. sad but true riding a bike takes much more skill than driving a car tons of coordination and balance. Brake in leaves crash on bike not in car. Any 6 yr old with 6 months riding in dirt is safer than this guy sorry dude but you are going to die riding on street, more likely than living
As Fred Sanford would say ''You big dummy''
Why?
with out a doubt the leaves! you cannot ride on leaves, holes, oil slicks, water, sticks, rocks, dirt, grass! i almost die every day on my bike because of dogs, dead animals, people cant drive, every other car almost hits me dont see me. the rain, gravel, leaves, people on crack, cops ect...
I suggest learning on dirt. Stay safe out there.
Best comment here
I’ll try it out, and appreciate it
@@icysisland Good. Have fun and Stay Safe
Don’t practice on dirt especially on this bike practice with a dirt bike if your going to practice on dirt
😂 funny part is I remember riding up my driveway on the grass. And I was basically ice skating
