Very nice, congrats on your first bike. dont stress it bro, you'll do fine just take it easy and for sure practice these techniques just to feel it out. finding that clutch friction zone with a very small amount of throttle is key. Be safe and let me know how your first ride goes🤙🏾
Just been gifted a Kawasaki zx9R 900cc and I’ve been super super anxious about every part of it and especially the timing and having to do gears. This video has helped me reinforce all of the most important steps in my memory so now once on the bike. Your steps will be in my mind. So far I’ve learnt •Key in •Press red button. •Make sure bike is neutral •Hold clutch down without throttle and kick gear shifter down to enter 1st •Let off the clutch without throttle to get moving •once I’ve practiced on roll mode, and know how to turn and maybe lean a little in a parking lot, then practice really gently applying gas
as someone that is looking to buy a 600 as a starter bike, this helped greatly. i know most say its stupid to do that but i would rather buy once and enjoy forever. this video eased my worry of gassing it too much and flipping the bike lol.. the newer bikes are definitely more forgiving and beginner friendly because of all the new tech for comfort of the rider. appreciate the video boss man!
seems like your thinking the same way as i did. buy the one you want so you dont have to worry anymore haha. 600 is more then enough power for any rider. glad to hear this video helped thanks for watching my dude🤙🏽
Great video for newbie ridders like myself. You broke down all the basics that a rider with zero knowledge would love to know, much appreciated. I own a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 636. I'm new to your channel, but do you have a video that talks about downshifting scenarios?
Im glad to hear that this video was helpful to you. funny that you mentioned The downshift scenarios, it was something i thought of as i watched the video after recording and wish i wouldve added/Explained. i actually dont have any videos explaining it, but if i can get a good day where its not so cold out i will make a video on it for you.
I was worried about getting a ZX-6R because someone told me you'd take off like a rocket just getting into the friction zone but that wasn't bad at all.
great info brother !!!! i always tell every one to look up the MSF class in there area too. it never hurts enjoy the weekend and hope you get to do lotz of chasing
I've got a 2002 ZX6R 636 same green as your's lovely bikes,i couldn't imagine changing gear without using a Clutch 😮 i learned to ride a Motorbike in 1991 when i was 16 and it was on a KX250 it didn't end well lol
I just got my endorsement after doing the safety course, I’ve been trolling around parking lots with my buddies cbr600rr at first I was nervous because I wasn’t expecting the power. But I adjusted to the bike and started feeling more comfortable and realizing when the power starts to come in which for that bike the difference is at 15mph and just goes up from there.
@@DontWorryForMe. yeah it will definetly open up, just be easy on the throttle until you get used to it more. whiskey throttle on these bikes are dangerous. Congrats on your endorsement💯 its a great feeling when you get it. Be safe on 2s bro
As a beginner learn where you friction zone is so that you know, then you can use a very small amount of throttle to open as you get more of an understanding.
I just passed my msf course the other day and I wanna get a g310r as my first bike then the zx6r but idk what’s your opinion. The msf course was pretty easy for me? What would you recommend
Ok so, if you passed the msf course and you absolutely understand how clutch and throttle work. i would say be like how i was and just shoot for the Zx6r. it has a low power mode that you can get used to before going full power. I just dont want to tell you to buy something that may be to powerful for you at the moment. have you ever ridden any other bike before msf course?
@@streetdreamz8056 I never have. It was my first time every riding a motorcycle. Im actually thinking of getting the zx6r and starting a little motovlog of my beginner pov 😂 but the insurance is through the roof since I’m 20.
First bike I ever rode was a cbr 1000. 5 mins in i wiped out 😂 after that it was a Kawasaki 500r I rode that for a year then to a 2003 636. Rode that until I got rear ended and stayed off a bike for about 6 years. After that I got a 250 dual sport after a breakup to clear my head and get back into riding currently in a 2024 636 and loving life. Point is I wish I had started on a 250 because that Cbr was waaay to much for a newbie 😂
yeah a 1000 is way to much bike for a brand new rider but i will say with all this new technology abs/Traction control really makes these newer bikes much easier for a beginner that has discipline. this 636 is my first and only street bike and i already feel like ive outgrown it with only 1 1/2 years of riding experience. Glad to hear your enjoying the 2024 zx6r its a sweet looking bike💯🤙🏾 be safe out there🙏🏽
Is it a good idea/not the worst idea to start on a zx6r if I have already ridden a 250 dirtbike and have some experience with clutch and throttle control. I’m pretty confident I can start on it, and I’m 19 but I would like to know how realistic it would be for me to start on a zx6r.
@@angelfernandez1286 19, you want a 636. its possible and not the worst idea but i will say this, its a very powerful motorcycle and can put you in a bad situation if you try to ride way above your limits and riding ability. heres what i will tell you based off your comment. start with something smaller. you have a full life to live no rush. i already ride with a wild 20 year old that i have to always tell him to chill out. so i know the younger we are the crazier. what ever you choose just be safe.
The new zx6r has customizable power gains which I think IS GREAT for new riders who want a long term investment. Having customizable power bands means as the rider progresses, he can adjust to his riding skills as he progresses. Unlike the gsxr600, your just gonna kill yourself from the get-go. You have no control over that powerband.
correct it does has a quick shifter. and you dont need to pull it in when shifting up. You do have to use clutch when you downshift though. hope this helps🤙🏽 i made a part 2 how to ride on shifting also
The front brake is 70% Of the bikes stopping power while the rear brake is 30% As far as what you use first dosent really matter. depending on the situation you may have to use both at the same time.
I want to get a zx6r as my first bike I’ve played with lower cc bike nothing crazy 250s at most but I seen on Reddit that a zx6r is crazy powerful and a very sensitive clutch I just want to know what all yall think about its as a first bike
@@highkinggames748 you can start on a zx6r especially since youve rode 250s.. the clutch is not the problem that people have trying to start on a zx6r.. its more when a rider gives it way too much throttle while in the friction zone! it is absolute key to test your bikes friction zone by doing exactly what i showed in this video. it will help you to understand where the exact position of where you bike starts to pull forward while easily releasing the clutch without throttle.
if you've never ridden any kind of bike. id start with something small maybe 250cc or even a small grom or something just to learn.. once you learn and understand how clutch and throttle work you can upgrade to anything higher. like a 636 or even a 1000cc
Its going to be tuff at 5'3 the bike can be lowered but not much out of factory. The thing i see shorter people do that i ride with is always make sure when coming to a stop that they are in 1st gear. lean your body to one side of the bike (Preferably your stronger leg) and just 1 leg it.. tip toes i dont think will work at that height to be honest. hope this helps
yes i always down shift to 1st as im coming to a stop then lightly pull in the front brake and clutch. depending on how fast im coming into that stop i may use both front and rear brakes to stop. but be careful with the front brake as its very important not to pull to hard on corners. always try to let you motorcycle engine braking do most of the stopping for you as you downshift then lighly apply brake as needed. its something you get used to after riding a few months. hope this helps🤙🏾
You think I could start on a 636, and just keep it on low power mode? I took my MSF course (only experience riding a bike), just wondering if this would be a bad idea. (I have only driven manual cars my entire life)
if youve already taken the msf course and understand how bikes work and you have manual transmission experience on cars.. You will 💯% do fine on a 600+.. its more of taking it easy as you stated you would start on low power.. i did the same thing and switched to full power after my 3rd ride.
dang bro, iam getting ready to post a video where i was in the twisties with a passanger. i didnt really explain in the vid if only you had sent me this request 2 days ago lol. i will try to make a video on it next time i go out.💯
@@streetdreamz8056 appreciate that brodie. And I wish it was 2 days ago but I just got my bike haha.. I ride 4wheelers and dirt bikes but being on my ninja the counter steering is so diff like turning left is turning right on ur steeringing! It’s a diff balll game.. plz make a vid about it it
