Very good and clear tutorial. This where I get confused with my manual motorcycle. I never knew that I have to use the clutch when stepping on a break.
I was kicked off a 2 day pre learners course after 2 1/2 hours being there. For not knowing or understand what he was staying to how to take off. After watching this I get where I was going wrong. The teacher really didn't want to deal with someone who has never been on a bike while I had 4 others that had have dirty bike experience. He made me feel so stupid and useless. Thank you for the video maybe one day I will do the course again. I cant get my bike learner licence until I do this course since I live in qld. I went through stay up right. I payed over $400 for the two days I don't get no money back and they want me to pay for private lessons then pay another over $400 to do the pre learners course
I also had that same experience. It is not the learner who is the problem, but very bad instructors who are just in it for the money and don't want to take the time to teach. I bought a Harley Davidson before I took the course. One instructor made fun of my bike and kept discouraging me by trash talking my bike. Nobody can learn that way with that type of instructor. They sent me home with barely 3 hours on the bike and they said I could come back in two weeks but I said I will NOT be taking this course again with these idiot instructors. These two guys said that they have been riding bikes for years but they suck at teaching. About a month after that I took a different course with two different instructors and they were AWESOME, they know their stuff and they took the time to teach me and it was a three day course and I learned a lot and I had FUN and I got my certificate for a motorcycle and this allowed me to take the written test and now I have my GDL motorcycle license as well as my own Harley Davidson. I am now riding my Harley Davidson.
Goodness me. Another Stay Upright complaint. I had the dishonour of going with them aswell. Terrible instructors. Unsure what the point of asking me if I’d driven a manual/operated a bike was. They taught me nothing. Lucky for me I had my uncle teach me the tips and tricks. All in all awful experience with them. Could not recommend them less. As for this video - this is perfect. And free!
I litrally managed to unlearn how to ride a bike. I started to lear riding at the age of 15, by the age of 17 started to learn riding proper motorcycles. Within 6 months i went from 220 cc to a 500cc cruiser and then at the age of 19 i tried rinding my dads 900cc and my friends 1200cc, enjoyed regular riding powerful engiences for a year. Took them for touring on hills. Then moved away from my home town and didn’t ride a bike for staright 5 years. I’m 24 now and here i’m, trying to relearn what i lost. Quite funny it is. Anyway i’m trying to by triumph speed twin, wish me luck.
This video is a big help I’m in the military and just started learning how to ride and this is the if my video with a complete and understanding walk through for something so simple yet important
대단히 감사합니다.ㅎ 이번 주에 인생 첫 모터바이크가 집에 도착합니다.ㅎ 혼다 cb1000r 입니다. 1년 동안 자격증 따면서 한 권의 책을 10번 이상 정독했습니다. 바이크를 계약하기 전까지는 자신이 있었습니다. 하지만, 계약을 하고나니 머리속이 복잡해졌습니다. 책 속의 내용들이 혼란스럽게도 정리가 되지 않았습니다. 그러다가 이 영상을 보게되었고, 걱정보다는 기대감으로 바뀌었습니다.ㅎ 이 영상대로 연습하면 2일간이면 충분히 일반도로에 나갈 수 있겠습니다.ㅎ
My left leg is a mechanical replacement for the original lost forever in a prang 18 months ago. I have resumed riding aided by a pushbutton electric shift device and I'm relearning some basics in my new configuration. Obviously when I stop it must be my right foot
It's good to know there are ways to ride after losing a limb, I've always been really paranoid that one day I'll lose one and suddenly won't be able to ride anymore
Hi, Can you please please do more motorcycle videos, there's stuff all from Australia & you're really good at instructing. Please Sir Can we have some more ?
2:08 DO NOT turn the front wheel IF you use the FRONT BRAKE> In over 40 years of riding motorcycles, all year round, all weathers; from 125 to over 1000cc. I have NEVER used the clutch control method with the FRONT brake ! It is MUCH EASIER with the REAR brake! ALSO it is absolutely critical that your BALANCE on your bike is an absolute. If you cannot sit on and CRAWL with your bike keeping your BALANCE, what I call 'one with the machine', then you will still have problems. Good to have vids like these!
I'm confused. Say you're on 4th gear and need to stop, do you hold your clutch, brake on both brakes and stay on 4th gear? And downshift to neutral or 1st once at stop? or do you hold clutch, brakes, downshift to 1st or neutral before the complete stop?
if youre in 4th gear and coming to a red light you down shift through the gears . 4th , 3rd, 2nd, then to 1st. As your having your breaks applied some because you dont want to be in the same RPMS going down into gears your bike slowly stops it selfs running down wards into gears.
If you need to stop quickly, hold the clutch in and shift gears when finally stopped. If you have a good distance to slow down, you can slowly do it by downshifting through the gears until you stop. Also, most riders stay in first gear with the clutch in at stop lights. Going all the way to neutral is an extra step that isn’t necessary unless you need to adjust something or have a long wait.
Great video. If you don’t mind me asking what brand of jacket are you wearing. This friction zone / clutch and breaking video has helped me tremendously. Thanks!
What is the reason why I kept stalling the motorcycle during the motorcycle beginner safety course on the stop and go exercise? Was it because of squeezing both the clutch lever and the brake lever at the same time? Or is the clutch lever squeezed outside of the friction point whenever I squeeze the front brake lever with it so the engine kept on stalling? I am confused... and sorry... language barrier... your accent on the video and how I hear it is clashing with the accent I am used to hear. 02:10
Stalling is because the engine cannot handle the "load". The "load" maybe brake or gravity or friction. Solution - you may need more POWER (throttle) or less LOAD (get off the brake).
Raises hand: when at high speeds if i let go the gas do i have to use the clutch, for example at anytime do i have to keep one press for not to stall either gas or clutch always has to be pressed ??
Hi , it’s been over 40 years since I rode a motorcycle , so for my retirement I bought a second hand motorcycle the same Triumph 865 se like your riding . Although it’s been over 400 years I was an RAC instructor so I still know how to ride . When I collected my bike from a dealer I felt great , sat on the bike felt the biting point of the clutch and felt the throttle , seemed fine. So I pulled away smoothly but as I turn the throttle on it suddenly went very jerky , as I arrived at an island I slowed down and took the first turn , changed into 2nd gear and just gave a little throttle. This time it really snatched and within a split second I had high sided ? Been trying to understand what went wrong as when I rode my z1000st Kawasaki it was lovely and smooth and was easier to ride than my 250 two stroke. Can’t figure it out as I only turned the throttle on a small amount , I wonder if the dealership had set the EFI correctly? People I know who have the same bike said it should have been lovely to ride , what is your opinion please?
after stopping with both brakes and pulling the clutch in. hold the clutch and rear brake. that way you have a free hand for throttle. give it some extra throttle when ready to take off to get you up the hill easing out on throttle... that way you dont have to worry about holding front brake and throttle.
Rahul Dolakasharia brake first - clutch second (clutch is so the engine doesn’t stall... clutch in will not help you slow down, in fact, clutch in first and the bike speeds up!)
Of course you can stop in any gear... Only thing is when you have to start moving again, you have to shift to a low gear like 1st or 2nd so that the bike moves without hesitation. :)
If you're riding that slow, don't use the front brake. If you do, keep the handle bar straight, otherwise the bike may fall. Always slowly squeeeeeze the front break. Don't jab or pull on it, the front end will dip harshly.
down, my left 'leg' stays n the peg. To stop I use both brakes until the final halt when I countersteer just a hint to the left, extend my right foot, and bring it to its final halt with my front brake, all coordinated to retain control and eventually grace. I never forget whenever anyone ever takes one of these Goddamn things out and lives to tell about it that death has been cheated, yet I'm relaxed and focused as I roll along with stately authority. 🏍💪♥️ 🌈🙏
When you ease the clutch, it starts to put a load on the engine to move the bike forward so the revs do drop. If you release the clutch too quick it will stall the engine. As you release the clutch slowly but to completion, the bike gains speed, and the engine's idling rev reaches equilibrium with the speed of the bike.
This video explains what millions of beginner videos fail to explain
Right! Every video just tells you to release the clutch 'slooooowly'
Honestly
Very good and clear tutorial. This where I get confused with my manual motorcycle. I never knew that I have to use the clutch when stepping on a break.

Have you rode since?
This is exactly what I’ve been struggling with thank you so much
This video is a big help I’m in the military and just started learning how to ride and this is the if my video with a complete and understanding walk through for something so simple yet important
I've been having a hard time with my 2nd day learning clutch but I watched this and became better 100% today ty sir
I just bought my first bike and drove it home, what a sweaty ride! Haha..start moving is my main problem, clutch control
Same here.. I just bought my bike 8hrs ago.. Taking off is where I go wrong
Yeah I'm like that now
Best step by step video for learning how to stop on a motorcycle correctly and the best practice to use at home with my bike.
This is the only video I found helpful about stopping the bike! Thaaanks
Glad it helped!
Really liked this tutorial, thank you.
Happy to help!
Best beginner 101 period
That is 2017. But new rider here and this is very useful for me. The two days course in Stay Upright got me confused. haha! Cheers and subbed.
Thanks for the great video! I'm learning to ride and this was very informative!
Thanks so much for posting lot of us are tired of looking at the two riding TH-cam motorcycle Stars you did good also cool bike
Thank you, this video tutorial is what I'm looking for. Good job 👍.
Great video, helps refresh my skills after some time of not riding.
대단히 감사합니다.ㅎ

pai Onebike That's Excellent Thank you 😊
Thanks a lot. You are a smart instructor.
A good instructor but he should have been wearing safety gear. Like a helmet and gloves and not sneakers.
Best videos so far, Cheers!🍻
Thanks for posting I clicked because of your motorcycle

When is first or second gear coming to a stop or red light do you apply the clutch with the brakes to come to stop and not stall ?
“”In first or second gear “”
underrated vid!
Best explanation.
Glad you think so!
Thank you sir for the explanation. 😊😊😊😊
Great video. If you don’t mind me asking what brand of jacket are you wearing. This friction zone / clutch and breaking video has helped me tremendously. Thanks!
Jacket - It is a KOMINE - it is excellent!
What a great video. Thank you so much.
That was so clear.
Great video 😊
What is the reason why I kept stalling the motorcycle during the motorcycle beginner safety course on the stop and go exercise?
Was it because of squeezing both the clutch lever and the brake lever at the same time?

Stalling is because the engine cannot handle the "load". The "load" maybe brake or gravity or friction. Solution - you may need more POWER (throttle) or less LOAD (get off the brake).
Question is once you go full stop do you need to shift to neutral like in the traffic light is red? Or just hold the clutch with the gear in 1 or 2?
Put your bike into the take off gear and keep your clutch in, that way you are ready to go when the light changes to green.
@@ianwatsons THANKS ❤️
Also make sure you are down in 1st not 2nd or you are likely to stall.@@ianwatsons
Hey thanks i had seen a lot of video but this one is best thanks a lot
thats a triumph boneville t100.. god i love that bike..
Raises hand: when at high speeds if i let go the gas do i have to use the clutch, for example at anytime do i have to keep one press for not to stall either gas or clutch always has to be pressed ??
did u find out answer?

oh my, that sound terrible. I hope you're okay. Your throttle sounds way too responsive.
Thank you sir👍
Thank you sir
Nice bike. How many CC ?
This many bro
can anyone help with how to control clutch and takeoff on a hill or elevated roads ? my bike tend to move back so much
after stopping with both brakes and pulling the clutch in. hold the clutch and rear brake. that way you have a free hand for throttle. give it some extra throttle when ready to take off to get you up the hill easing out on throttle... that way you dont have to worry about holding front brake and throttle.

should i use my clutch first before braking
Rahul Dolakasharia brake first - clutch second (clutch is so the engine doesn’t stall... clutch in will not help you slow down, in fact, clutch in first and the bike speeds up!)
Ian Watson's Driving School - Motorcycle School and Truck School Thank You
Kevin Lau that’s how I do it and off the throttle. Down to the right gear, clutch in , off throttle, and both brakes in.
Are in first gear when you trying to stop? And are you also in first gear fully stop
Yes, because you plant your foot on the ground on the gear shift side to allow your other foot to stay on the rear brake. Hope this helps.
so can you stop in any gear or do you have to be in gear 1? plz reply anyone
Of course you can stop in any gear... Only thing is when you have to start moving again, you have to shift to a low gear like 1st or 2nd so that the bike moves without hesitation. :)
okay thank you
@@jacksonbutter3764 yes but make sure the clutch is pulled in or the bike will stall. Then down shift to first before taking off again.
Do you stop with gear 1
I burnt my clutch out how do I get better control of it
If you're riding that slow, don't use the front brake. If you do, keep the handle bar straight, otherwise the bike may fall.
Always slowly squeeeeeze the front break. Don't jab or pull on it, the front end will dip harshly.

When i release my clutch my revs go down?
When you ease the clutch, it starts to put a load on the engine to move the bike forward so the revs do drop. If you release the clutch too quick it will stall the engine. As you release the clutch slowly but to completion, the bike gains speed, and the engine's idling rev reaches equilibrium with the speed of the bike.
Just got my new bike it sunddenly stops when there's a traffic jam. Ghad! Clutch control is so hard
Yes indeed. Practice in the back streets where you can focus and take your time.
My problem is when go up by slowly 😂😂😂😂
no helmet?
No helmet
No helmet to muffle his voice
No helmet ????
Im sorry, first lesson, all you gear all the time. Please I don’t want any explanation or reply. I just blocked your videos.
Thank you i have a friend showing me and even still he missed to explain how important the friction point of the clutch is🫡
