With sport bike is difficuler
I am a very very new rider and in the summer I would sometimes pull into random parking lots to practice, usually u turns, figure 8's and emergency braking.
Been doing the same
This is great! Thanks man
The rider course is a good thing to do.
Nothing wrong with that
Ive been riding for 2 years and still try to do this at least once or twice a month. Knowing your bikes limits with emergency braking has been a life saver multiple times. Also not looking like a noob during slow manuvers is something i care about so i practice all the time
It’s pretty crazy I watch this and it looks so easy, but when I hop on my bike I need a lot of improvement. Thanks MotoJitsu for keeping us humble.
Same here
As an older rider 'coming back' to riding, this exactly what i need and will give it a go.
I have been doing every possible day this since I started riding a few months ago. The simplicity is awesome. It has helped me so much. Really translates to real world. Thank you.
Excellent advice Greg. The one thing you don’t mention is HOW you’re doing these fig 8’s. Ok lean angle etc but it’d be helpful for you to talk us through the fundamentals of low speed turns once again.
Love your work.
Geoff in Australia.
In Sweden we have a very strict test to get your motorcycle license.
You have to complete a slow speed course, high speed course and traffic. If you fail any step, you're out and have to book another test and pay another ~$200.
Slow speed course is a set of zig-zags where you do U-turns around 3 cones (3 U-turns) and then back again at MAX 5kph (3 mph).
You round the cones and stop at cone 1 and 3 and put your foot down.
If you start from foot down without handlebars at full lock, you will not make the next turn.
If you exceed the speed limit, you are failed. If you touch a cone, you are failed, If your foot touches the ground (except the specified points), you are failed.
Practising these turns over and over are great for building confidence and I am so glad to have found MotoJitsu that preaches this too.
Another good way of practising your skill is to ride with the goal of never having to set your foot down. Planning ahead, adjusting speed, keeping distance.
Instead of racing to that red light, slow down, work on your slow riding technique.
All countries of Europe I know of has a serious practical test for the license.
It’s only on the US where they give it like free candy’s
One of my favorite exercises. Brown belt figure 8, the eye ball. It really helps you concentrate on head and eyes movement, counter balance, friction zone control and transitions along with wheel placement
Great advice! I quit using the rear brake doing slow / U turns and my turns have gotten better.
Love the easy gradient of BIG circle and long area to recover before turn around for figure 8. Makes it real, makes it doable - then can tighten it gradually to improve skill.
I'm a new rider & this exercise is the "wax on/wax off" of motorcycle riding. I've seen progress after doing this drill just one time. The next time it was easier & easier. It helps to point your chin & see as far back as you can to ease the turning. Slow speed u-turns look so elegant & effortless because they've put in the practice. Can you catch a fly with chop sticks. Thank you Moto Jitsu.
Thanks for this video it really helped me out. I currently ride a 150 Kiplin mini 2022 I am a beginner rider. I can now comfortably ride slow around corners or doing U-turns. Also your counter steering video helped too. I don't put my foot down unless I'm at a total stop. I look forward on more of your videos!!
Great video. I've been off the bike for 3 years in grad school and am trying to get back into it this season. I used to have access to a MSF pad with painted lines but dont anymore. This is super helpful!
What you said at the end ist so motivating and true. Thank you! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This is my favourite expiation & demonstration on slow turns. I’ll be practicing this each time after I ride out to improve my technique. Thanks !
Great advice…thank you…on the way to practice and ride now…
Makes perfect sense. I will start practicing 5 min after every ride. Thank you for your videos.
Thanks! You keep it going, Sincerely, the 68 yr old newbie
Thanks, will do!
I applaud your initiative and appreciate your sound and practical advice even if you are named after a "Hustler" (fast eddie)
Thanks!! :) My "nickname" is from here th-cam.com/video/ulpR45ocXns/w-d-xo.html
I am a returning rider after about 13 years of not riding. My last bike was a Honda Valarie, which is a 800# motorcycle. My total riding experience is about 8 years. I decided to start riding again but wanted to try something new. I purchased a 2022 Hayabusa and find myself very intimidated by this bike. I plan on taking it to a parking lot and start slow and careful. And by the way I am 76 know😳😮
I've been watching your videos for years, sometimes I go out to ride only to practice slow speed maneuvers. It's not a chore to me. I enjoy it
Great video man! Thanks for your regular content like this. Very helpful as a new rider.
Thanks for the advice, it makes good sense to me. I've been riding bikes for over 40 years and have pretty good low speed balance but I don't practice these type of manoeuvres despite it being the one area I'm less confident about. I now intend to do as you suggest and practice every time I take the bike out. Happy and safe riding to you and your viewers. :>)
great advice cheers fella, gonna out it into practice and hopefully become an even better rider.
We did this in my Motorcycle Safety and Endorsement Course.
Our instructors wanted us to go as slow as possible doing figure 8's.
We weren't allowed to use the breaks and the primary focus was to turn our heads to where we were turning.
I never rode a motorcycle in my life when I took that course.
I trusted my instructors and did exactly what they told me.
I placed in the top of my class at the end.
Thank you for teaching people these fundamental maneuvers.
Bro you make this look so easy lol. I know you mentioned it but it's worth repeating: *look where you want to go*. I still find myself looking down where the bike is going to fall when I freak out during low speed maneuvers. When I look at my intended target everything is smooth.
This is the basic training, that is critical for mc driving skill! Thanks for making this video.
Thank you! This is likely going to help me so much! It's been 25 years since I've ridden off-road and I just bought a '15 CRF250L... Haven't ridden it, yet, because I know my skills are so rusty to virtually be nullified. I'm going to get the bike out to a park or parking lot (have a hitch carrier) and practice these figure 8's.
Because I can do slow speed maneuvering, every time I'm in traffic in town I practice clutch control and slow speed maneuvering with more intense practice in empty parking lots. Parking lots are great, but once you've learned maneuvering, constant "real world" practice is better (IMO). If you are new to all this and don't really understand the principles behind your clutch's "friction zone" and looking where you want to go, my experience tells me that you had better give yourself plenty of room to practice and expect that you WILL drop your bike a few times before you get good. Wear protective gear and protect your bike with crash guards. "Repetition is the key to learning" so "shut up and practice." I've found that you can extend your practice sessions somewhat if a good wind is blowing.
I bought the app to support your amazing content. Can't wait to do figure 8s!
This is my biggest problem on my bike, have a 1250 GSA, so will be following this advice this year, thx for the tip
Thanks Greg! Very helpful 🙂
I'm a new rider. One year. I practice something every single time I'm out. Whether it's emergency braking once or twice, countersteering quickly, figure 8's, etc. Practice practice practice. Never know when it might save your butt.
Thanks so much. Just started learning ( not been on the open road yet new). Will be doing this every time I go out so I have more confidence. Only got a honda cb125f . I'm 56 so that's a good bike weight wise for me lol.
I really appreciate your teaching style! You aren’t yelling at anyone or calling them a “duface”, you are just encouraging your audience. I have been trying to practice these techniques. I was more proficient on my last bike but now I ride a heavy touring motorcycle, and I have to get over my nerves.
Brilliant idea for a New Years Resolution! Was out yesterday in a parking lot doing some U Turns, not sure I made the five minutes as hands were starting to freeze up, it was -1c! 🥶😆
this is a great video,wnet out and did tis 5 min practice, and reall made a difference in my ride.
gor to know the feelofthe mchine, and was more comfortable with my ride. Thanks, Richie,from Smithtown,NY
Fantastic practical video!!
Just downloaded your App….my now go to place for tutorials…..thank you for your knowledge and time it is appreciated very much to a returning rider….from what feels like the 19th Century when I rode my RD250LC until at 19, my riding came to an abrupt stop thanks to a drunk driver……my thoughts now are, could, should I have anticipated this…….maybe if I had a better skill set….well thats history now, time for me to re train, and practice…thanks.
Thanks, I appreciate your work.
Something I appreciate about your channel and your videos is that you ride sport bikes, taller bikes,etc. A lot of people doing slow speed maneuvers are using police Harley's which are awesome for competition but if you don't have that kind of bike you feel left out of the techniques. Thank you!!
The details and tips in this are gold.
Hi, started riding at 60 Mt first bike was a GSA. I thought it was too big to ride, I started doing your turning exercises and all my mates are amazed now how I can throw my bike around. Great lessons thanks
I have the Rebel 1100 dct so I have to use the rear brake, but I'm definatly doing this from now on.
Very useful as always. I just wish you would've used a second camera to observe your body position while you executed the exercises. Thank you.
Always great content. I did buy your app, got that a few weeks ago i think. Im dying here in michigan waiting to ride.
I do this on my street each time before i ride, i am slowly getting more confident.
Hi. Thank you for you vids. My biggest issue (along with uturns) is getting in my underground parking. It is very steep with a concrete column at the bottom I have to make a sharp right at the bottom of the ramp and the a sharp left past the concrete column. Advice would be great. Seeing you do it would be awesome.
Brilliant and I love it, sneaking figure 8s, I just love it you are a saint and thanks.
Thanks to you and DanDanTheFireman I've learned a lot I didn't know I needed to when I started riding. Thanks!
Definitly going to put this in my routine👍
It's a great help for us new guys !!
Thank you. I've been following you for a long time. I always think I know best. Thanks for the advice.
I will better myself as a rider and practice the next time I ride! I can ride fine, but definitely find myself lacking confidence with right turns, wether at low or highway speeds, I simply cannot muster the courage to lean the bike as far as I can to the left.
Great video, Definitely giving this a good go on my bike, many thanks for your video, love how simple it is, especially without needing cones etc.
Many thanks Martin.
Thank for your work
That parking space line was excellent, this is going to be what I practise next!
Did the second time I watch this video and you’re absolutely right it’s been a month now I’ve been doing it and it’s great it’s been working
I bought the app, to support the channel and now I’m waiting for my crash guard for the bike to arrive, and wenn mounted. I gonna practice like crazy! Can’t wait 😝
I practiced figure 8s a bunch while on my permit before my driving test, and honestly it made doing the driving exam super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh, really?
@@lockbresnar6445 thank you for that haha!
I just started riding again after 15 years your video's helped me To hone my skills again THANK YOU
Excellent video excercises ,great bike....I've Suzuki bandit 650 old model .so heavy to turn...
Thanks!
@MotoJitsu thanks for sharing all your tips and experience - started started riding 3 weeks ago and defo helped me. Thanks🏍️
Thank you so much for your videos. Could you share some help for slow speed manœuvres on a DCT bike?
thanks so much !
Brilliant! Slow speed freaks me!
I'm looking forward to the "one parking space" episode!.
Great idea. Thanks
Thank you as Usual!!!
I love wheelies but my WR250R runs weird and needs a few minutes for the throttle and everything be perfect.
So I practice low speed stuff around my house or near the beach. Sometimes in the dirt for added fun. And then after some practice, she’s warmed up and I rip a wheelie.
It’s easy to bang gears and go fast. It’s not too difficult to corner. But low speed, takes solid fundamentals.
I appreciate your videos. I learn something almost every time. Do you have a trick to make the snow go away?
Just back from a 3 day rideout on twisty technical rides in Wales. Had I included this simple figure of 8 each day. I would have improved my control and confidence in All my rides. Big wake up call. Thank you Greg.
Lovely rides here where are you from and where did you ride?
Great video thanks
Used to do these at my local community college parking lot here in El Paso, Tx. after a 6am class
Very good and I love your instructions. I can do it in a space and a half on my Africa Twin, but I have to use the brake because of having a DCT version.
Great video! I am committed.
You are the most effective motorcycle instructor on the net.
Simple, fast, easy to understand, practical, clear.
Thanks for your dedication and effort
I was an actual motorcycle instructor for 8 years...teaching the beginner through advanced level courses...there's a lot of youtubers who ride motorcycles, big difference. :)
don't you DARE judge me and Mr. Blankie!
Great vid and help...thanks man 👍
I really enjoy your instructional videos, do you also have any training on dct’s (Africa Twin).
Only just got my leaners so this is my 2024 goal, thanks MJ!
Absolutely correct.
So nice tips!!
As gift? Tks
Dat was an awesome tip, I’m noobie to motorcycles so I’ve been searching a lot for this kind of videos. I don’t struggle much riding 40km but slow speeds still something I’m uncomfortable with. Next chance I get to ride I’ll be practicing it. Have a great 2024
Very good 👍 thanks man
You are a hero to me. Not in an idol way but like as if you are a good cop. Thanks man.
Hi there love how you make basic exercises so easy here in Sweden we are told not to use rear brake so i only use speed and clutch keep up the great work unfortunat we cant ride untill spring looks nice in Sandiago
Finally, I get to practice my one line of Swedish, taught me one morning at breakfast. "Kann du sende smøerret, please?" Hope I got that right. Here in NZ we can ride all year round. 😎
@@threepwood56 Lol can you pas me the butter please
very good axercise to improve my ride
Dear fast teddy, thank you for your awesome instructional videos!!
Figure of eight is what you have to do to get a two wheeler driver's license in India.. It's quite a challenge to do it without putting foot down or stalling.. need to practice intensely to clear the test .
But Sir what's about the clutch control in figure 8s?
Good day to you Mr. Jitsu. Recently I got a big cruiser bike. So naturally, it has street tires. I live on dirt roads. Sandy dirt road, out here in Joshua Tree. I find it intimidating to make normal turns (left or right) on my roads, cause it is slippery, and a big bike like this is heavy. I was wondering if you could do a video sometime, on how to drive a big heavy cruiser bike, on dirt roads, and possibly some dills a person could do to make a normal right and left turn onto and off, and including riding around on dirt roads safely. 😀 Thank for your videos and content. I have been watching you a while now, and learned alot that I will practice to get bettet every day. 5 min drills... Great Idea 💡😊
Go take dirt training to learn how to be comfortable slipping & sliding
MotoJitsu.com/courses
For a big cruiser? Like a Harley-Davidson Road King? That's like 600+ lbs? On a dirt bike, it is rather easy To put your foot down when you're going around a corner. I would think on a big cruiser, if you try to do the same thing, you would slide and lean too far, and it would fall over on your leg, and you'd get hurt???... just because how awkward the bulk is of a big bike. That's why I was hoping to find a video of someone showing how to turn corners like you might on a paved road, except on loose sand dirt roads like where I live. I know for me that it is a lack of practice, so I have learned from you already to practice 5 to 15mins everyday. The things you need practice the most.
Good advice and well said!
And also this excersice gives you convienence with your bike and and after a while stress free inside the city traffic jam.
THIS is motivational
At that low speed, do you still start every turn by counter steering or do you just turn the handlebars?
I definitely drag my rear brakes in the parking lot. I'll work on it!
Brilliant Greg. Orrrrrsome 🙃
Were you using counter steering in this exercise ?
Definitely the main issue i have as a beginner. I have a yamaha bolt and slow speeds turns and uturns are the hardest.
