    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.

    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.

    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?

    • @damonscott4392

      Either one is fine.

    • @snyddaa2169
      @snyddaa2169 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.

    • @MichiganPowersports
      @MichiganPowersports 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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.

    • @devinmoore9877

    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

    • @ianwatsons
      @ianwatsons  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      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).

  • @Eziinow
    @Eziinow 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

    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.

    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. 🏍💪♥️

    • @undeadelite
      @undeadelite 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.
