This will help out a lot if you pay a bit more attention to what you're doing and how the bike is responding. SLOW THOSE HANDS DOWN! Slow hands, happy riders :) linktr.ee/GregWidmar
I love how simple you explain stuff, as a novice rider with about 9 months of riding its great to see tips that are presented in a digestable way
Salute to Motojitsu, a fellow military vet here. Riding is an art a skill a discipline.
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.
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.
I literally found that out today after stalling a million times just started riding 😂
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!!
Dude you came in clutch with this short video. I recently started riding again after two years and this helped my confidence
No pun intended?
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.
Bro😭
Sounds like a personal problem.
My first bike was a 750 CC Harley cruiser and was just fine.
another excellent vid! thanks man!
Good advice, thanks!
I always learn from your tips! Kudos!
Your “dimmer switch” analogy is sage advice. Great video as usual. Your channel is one of the best 😎🔥
Great advice!
I am a new rider. Bought a HD iron 883. I can say that during the MSF course I had an issue with whiskey throttling. Fast forward a few months later its not a problem. 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.
Good advice thank you
Awesome man
I hold my 2 fingers on brakes and this way I always start with a good hand position on throtle + I am not grabing brakes when braking because I am all the time ready to squeeze them :)
Exactly. Take it slow. No need to rush. The point is for safety precautions.
Best explanation 😊. Thank you so much 👍
Moto jitsu I'm your no.follower since I ' ve seen your tutorial vlog about a month ago.Since then I can open my cellphone with out seeing your vlog about how to drive safely.thank you and please shout out to doodle your also instructrees.on your tutorial vlog.
The flat wrist position on the throttle was my biggest problem.. first time ever on a bike, my hand was forward and when I grabbed the front brake I gave it the juice too. It was the biggest mental block for me to get back on to learn the right way
As someone who's started riding after drving a car for years, I love how the advice for both vehicles (both what I give out to friends learning to drive and what I've picked up learning to ride) essentially boil down to the same things. Smooth and progressive imputs, give yourself plenty of time to do anything etc
It's inputs but yeah.
Thank you 🙏
Also make sure to use the brakes. Maybe bring a key.
Extremely useful tips
Thank you!
Welcome!
Like manual cars, ease off the clutch
Unfortunately 95% of people don’t know how to drive manual cars.
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.😂
Thanks
I use the finger rolling technique for the throttle. I feel i have better control
A1 good advice
Motorcycle taught me to be smooth: helps a lot during driving as well
Mine tends to habe a lot of engine braking so something id like to add is sometimes realizing that clutch removes the dive and pull in both directions to smoothe ssssmmmmooootheee out the whole deal.
Thanks man for this video and I want to see more videos about how to stop a motorcycle at Trafic lights. I'm a beginner and I'm learning how to ride. What's the best bike to learn the techniques for a beginner?
I learned on a ninja 400. Everyone is different though. I also rode a Honda Grom because they're a kick in the pants and pretty forgiving in my experience.
I use to always gun it my first ride was a wheelie 😅
"want something to happen dramatically?" 🤣👏
I’m a marine vet that doe’s jits in my spare time, and am currently learning to ride. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge. 👍
Same here...im new rider too and this is very important video for all new drivers because i learned this harder way...😅
I learned best riding advice from this channel
thanks
i ride electric, at the beginning i used to place all of my thumb at the fixed plastic part of the throttle to further modulate throttle feel and limit my hand movment so i would never get whisky throttled.
Learned whisky throttle the hard way. 😅 right into the side of a car
Ouch. Hope you and your bike are ok.
Solid info! Picked up my R6 a few days ago, first big bike. Background in motocross, obviously very different bikes.. but respect the bike and you won't get thrown off 😅
Also.. my instructor here in the UK says all 4 fingers on the clutch or breaking.. thoughts? I'm used to 2 fingers etc
I think your instructor is telling you the four finger clutch technique because it’s vital to the test in the UK, I’ve heard if you use any less than four they’ll fail ya
@B_Toosick Yeah, I hear you, bro. Guess we kinda ride how we want after passing. I'm trying to stay away from bad habits if I can help it. Hopefully, I will get some videos up once I sort a go pro
@@DeMoto.R6 exactly lol just make sure you don’t pick up any bad habits BEFORE the test you should be golden!
@B_Toosick Appreciate you, bro. Little video uploaded of my bike. Motovlogs incoming 😄
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..).
Hi how about a video on how to clean your bike for beginners
Thanks!!!

"Slow hands" is a great concept I think your channel taught me.
...at 1:21... learned that the hard way :D:D:D just busted the headlight nothing more...there are ton of riders using throttle like an on-off switch
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?
Same w a car...the clutch isn't an on/off switch.
Do I also need to release the clutch slowly when up shifting?
No,release quickly when shifting.
wait do i cant rev match? because i blip the throttle quick when i do lol
When you’re at a stop, do you have both feet down, only left foot down, or only right foot down?
I've heard the right foot, that way your left foot is up and ready to work the clutch when needed. Then again I could be wrong.
Did a wheely by accident today😅
I hope you have version for honda click motor .your viewers from Philippines usually honda click user .
What country is this?
@@surveytechsourceare you really asking or just trying to make a point? Your writing style is unclear.
What about when rev matching changing down gears? If I ease the clutch out, the revs have dropped too much by the time the clutch is fully released
Rev higher to compensate.
blip the throttle twice, that's what they taught us. It seems to match revs nicely.
You're not suppose release the clutch slowly when shifting,especially if you're rev matching.
I failed the first time because I had to do a complete stop go from 1st to 3rd gear then stop hard so I let go of the throttle to quickly and the bike fell. Automatic fail. Have my second one today and definitely gonna take this into consideration. Also I’m 5,2 and the bike was way too big.
the slower you move your hands the smoother ride you'll have...slow hands, easy rider...nothing crazy will happen
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
@@MotoJitsu yea I’ll take that into consideration thanks bro! Definitely will be slower.
How do you use the front brake at zero throttle without having extreme engine braking or the bike trying to stall?
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).
Pull the clutch.
Wear the right boots / shoes... the consequence for not observing this is a bunion on my left foot due to continuous irritations to the bone when shifting gears.
Ouch.
Knowledge
Nice vid ! My coach got on me more than once for using two fingers to brake he suggested 4 fingers and I quote “ squeeeeeeze it like you are squeezing the juice out a grape fruit” he mentioned it was a bad habit for riders but I found it quicker because while on or off throttle my two fingers were always up. Comments suggestions?
Yeah. The instructor is there because he knows more than you and has more experience. Stop being cocky.
Question... won't easing off the clutch slowly increase the risk of losing traction with the back tyre and you can end up lowsiding?
What can possible go wrong when releasing the brake fast? I'd love to know.
unloading the suspension rapidly.
Being hard on the brakes mid corner (trailbraking) then instantly releasing the brake might wash out the front.
@@Surpriseify "trailbraking" and "hard on the brakes" are not supposed to go together. It may well lead to the nearest hospital.
@@gdevelek Wrong tho
You can easily enter a corner with 70% front brake.
Then trail it down, 60-50-40-30 etc.
Do you think racebikes are a 0% brake when they tip in?
@@Surpriseify Between 0% and 70% there are quite a few intermediate options, don't you think?
@@gdevelek not sure how hard this is to comprehend, go into a corner with 70% front brake, then just instantly release it. This could wash out the front, its is irrefutable i would argue.
Ride fast and only use rear brake!
Now do a video going fast and show us plz
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.
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.
My bike has a carb so get over yourself.
Man I want to buy this bike....
It costs 3.5 million or 4 million in Indian currency....
I'll buy this bike but hey I'm a GEN Z guy....
We want everything quickly
So no patience is kinda killing me....
The wait that I have to do to get this bike is huge....
which one bhai
@@rohanthakuri4026 yehi re apni bmw GS1200
you have no play with that throttle
Why is it not a thumb throttle?. Just sayin😂
Thanks for the tips. I’m gonna have my driving school next week💪🏼
welcome!!

Do you actually do Jiu-Jitsu that why you call the channel that?
Wash on wax off lol
Perfect for my 3 year old.
What an adorable response. Do you really think we believe there's a woman who would procreate with you? Keep trying, kid.
Don't forget the best advice for new riders, don't start on a 1250 BMW!
Who does this anyway? People do this? No way.
Watch videos just to make stupid shitty comments that barely make sense? Yeah, people do that.
Wait, this is common knowledge, right?
I never imagined riders ever started out this clueless.
You're probably extremely old and can't remember being young. Or just stupid. Your cockiness makes me think stupidbut maybe you're both.
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.
Jfc you can get on a road that's not a highway. This is horseshit advice unless you're 12.
Kind of sad that americans have to make videos how to ride motorcycles 😭
In America it's more of a toy than a means of transport. A lot of countries its easier to commute on a bike even having 4 people on a bike. But here so many people use cars it turns riding a motorcycle very rare to see on the road compared to the amount of people commuting in cars. Since TH-camrs are everywhere at least they're giving the newer guys tips versus just jumping on and learning it as you go
They all suck at riding motorcycles, they complicate things too much and always end up crashing at 10 *km/h*
It's even sadder how people shit on Americans in the comment section on a video that's just trying to help people be better riders.
We have cars.

Same here. It saved me a couple times.
