    Everything in this video is completely correct.
    Some additional points for some specific bikers :
    1. Consider trying a 'shorty' clutch lever. This allows you to use (always) only 2 fingers on the clutch, while also permitting the clutch lever to be pulled right back to the hand grip.
    2. If possible, adjust the clutch friction point so that it is close to the hand grip. When you need the friction point in a complex situation, it is far easier to be precise when the friction point is at a known offset - the closer to the hand grip the better, but bearing in mind that when pulled in all the way the clutch MUST be fully disengaged, not within the friction zone
    A good shorty lever will have a good adjustment option, allowing point 2 to be achieved easily.
    The combination of these two allows FAR better control of the clutch in many circumstances. It takes a bit of getting used to, but if you can make the transition you will never go back.

      At what point do you blip the throttle? Thanks.

    • @rs8197-dms
      @rs8197-dms 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@soul17169 Remember that you can only successfully blip the throttle when the clutch is pulled in. Since the clutch (on downshift) will only be pulled in for a very brief time, this absolutely limits when a throttle blip is possible (and correct).

    • @codyktam

      Regarding point 2 adjusting friction point so that its close to hand grip, are you talking about hand grip on the handlebars or hand grip when you are covering/on the clutch lever? Thanks!

    • @rs8197-dms
      @rs8197-dms 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@codyktam I'll try to phrase this as clearly as possible. On my clutch, if I pull the clutch in all the way, and then release it about 5mm (that's less than 1/4 inch) I'm at the start of the friction zone.
      Effectively, the friction zone starts almost immediately as I start releasing the clutch, not at some point far from the handgrip. This means I can reliably "hit" the start of the friction zone every single time, and very fast.

    Excellent video overall: great audio and video quality, and how you show the procedures and illustrate as you narrate. Thank you for NOT putting annoying music and stupid memes as other channels do, that does not help with learning. What would have been cool to see is if you show the mechanical parts at work when a rider applies the clutch and throttle, like an X-ray simulation so we can see the mechanics at work.
    Another thought, would like to see you post what gear items you are wearing in the videos, so other people can check that stuff out online or in retail stores. Maybe you can even get commission from manufacturers for showcasing their gear!
    The speed of your talking is perfect. Sometimes with tubers I have to accelerate the play speed.
    Your channel is so awesome because it is “raw” and feels so organic without a bunch of fluff, and you come across as a down to earth real person. Instead of trying to be a comedian or trigger troll.

    @sickopierce 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Note on whether or not to leave your fingers on the levers: My buddy is a examiner here in the UK, you can fail your test for doing this. They also look for 4 fingers when engaging the levers. The 4 fingers isn't important after passing, but leaving your fingers on levers while riding can get you into some trouble... hitting a pothole or hump hard enough could cause your fingers to pull the levers, not so bad on the clutch but could be bad on the front brake, no one wants to go over the bars at any speed.

  • @popocatap
    @popocatap 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Again a concise and to-the-point instruction and demo, thanks! Question: I practised the tight turns yesterday, but noticed two things that made me anxious: 1) I couldn’t take of with the steering completely locked in the turn and keep it locked - I soon gave more throttle to prevent the bike leaning too far and then it raised itself out of the tight bend, automatically taking the steering out of the tight lock, so the curve widened and speed increased. Then it was counter-intuitive to turn the steering again to its furthest point (‘lock’j. How to overcome this?
    2) My right hand is always in the ready-to-brake position, so when the speed picked up unintentionally, I had to warn myself not to use the front brake because I know that’s almost certainly a fall because my reflex is to apply it too quickly. Question: should I focus on using the footbrake if necessary? I hardly ever use it in normal riding, I just remember using it in serpentine bends in the mountains - that helped keeping revs up while adapting to changes in camber and curvature of the road while maintaining traction (especially uphill bends).
    I’d appreciate your tips on this!

    • @MotoControlEn
      @MotoControlEn  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Peter, how's it going? The answer too both your questions is to simply repeat the exercises😉At first, our brain feels really scared when the front wheel goes full lock, because the bike feels unstable. But with practice, as you are releasing the clutch to stabilize the bike again and again, your brain will feel more and more confident, since nothing bad happens. And at some point it will be confident enough to keep the bike at full lock. The same goes for the brake: eventually you will teach yourself to catch the bike with the clutch, so you will stop trying to brake instinctively.

    It highly depends on the clutch parts though (cable vs. hydraulic, quality of levers and connecting joints, wear on clutch cylinder/caliper/basket/rotors, wear of the gear docks, idle rpm stability, etc.).
    On my 35 year old ZX-10 Tomcat it‘s a totally different story than a modern Versys or GSX.

    Can we have a narrated stop/go exercise for a Honda DCT bike? They don't have clutch levers so you have to make do with throttle & back brake. I'm kinda hazy about how I should be taking off - it won't stall but it can be very lurchy.

    What would be the reason my bike jerks while I ride in 2nd gear. It hops for few secs until I raise the throttle and then shift to 3rd gear. I just wanted to move in 2nd gear for a while.mine is a 200cc bike

    Thank you so much for the video! As a beginner, I struggle to pick up speed after stopping at a traffic light and when I start I need to turn (long turn). I start in first gear, but my Honda rebel only goes comfortably to about 8-9 mi/h in tbe 1st gear, so I often find that I need to shift gears in the middle of a turn, but I am reluctant to do that, since I have to roll-off the throttle and it's dangerous to loose speed while turning. So, I shift gears after I complete the turn, but it's dangerous since the car behind me is not expecting a drop in speed after the turn...how do I do it correctly?

      Hi! I have never rode Honda Rebel before, are you sure 8-9mph is the top speed for 1st gear? Because usually motorcycle engines can have much higher revs than car engines, and new riders tend to upshift way too early.

      @@mreya23 When you pull clutch fully, your bike wont do engine braking so you are not going to lose that much of speed; then you can shift up to 2 and release clutch. Its very easy to change gears in turns without loosing or gaining speed suddenly if you are keeping stable rpms. Once you have done some exercises it will become muscle memory and you will start doing it quickly without need to think about steps.

While practicing in a parking lot on straight level ground I told her start off in 2nd gear. Works a charm. Might want to give it a try, again , please do so ina parking lot. Hope this helps.

    Bro I fell from my bike when I was in 1st gear and stopped before taking a turn, and I held half clutch and applied front brake with a little turn towards the right. Then the front tire skidded towards the right and the bike fell and broke my front brake. I'm a beginner and can you tell me how to avoid this situation. My bike is triumph speed 400. ABS and traction control were both on and it rained a little.

    Are you completely releasing the clutch while doing stop and go practice or only enough to start moving?
