Been riding 20+ years..road and track. I've known these tips, but never heard them explained so well. Including the physics of why things work certainly makes them "stick". Excellent coaching approach.
As a rider of nearly 10 years and a club road racer, these are excellent visuals. Thank you for covering all of these, it is refreshing to see the basics and really solving the root cause of these mistakes. This is all completely accurate and linearly delivered information. The basics are the most important, it is something all racers must focus on. You stop practicing the basics you start making mistakes. I have taken to practicing basics on my grom between race weekends. Just going to a parking lot and dragging my knee, pushing the limits on the little bike where there is very little risk.
Can you please do the video about emergency braking in corners? I think it‘s one of the most relevant things people should know. There‘s so much conflicting advice (never brake in a corner, stand the bike up before braking, braking makes you go wide, not wide etc 😂). Thanks for the value you keep adding every time you upload!
Emergence brake entails that you brake to stop or get to near full stop. In this case you dont lean your bike and should get it straight. You can brake in corners too but slowly and gradually. But ofc better ask someone whos professional in this field
@@hokagerulzzso what happens if you have an emergency in a corner? Of course you can emergency brake in a corner. Everyone should be instructed in this before they are given a licence.
The short version is that the bike will stand itself up and go wide when you do that, likely putting you exactly where you were trying to avoid being. So after the hard part of the braking you need to partially release and pick somewhere to go, because you're now right in front of the lorry you were trying to avoid. I've had a few of these, and they were sketchy every time. My solution was to brake as much as possible while holding lean, which I bet is very dangerous.
I learned more from this clip than from the official moto-course that I attended. As absolute beginner in a moto world, these are very valuable lessons.
A great tip is to not put your weight on the handlebars and/or lock your elbows. Slow speed manouvers instantly became easier once my instructor pointed this mistake out, slow cone weave and figure 8s especially.
Always have a good laugh when listening to your tutorial and watching your videos. Your methods are proven and vetted 👍🏽 your delivery of the material is on point funny and informative but more important makes viewers informed and become safer riders.

As a completely new rider, your videos are great. Definitely my throttle control needs work so will test the grip this weekend. My issue is getting to the empty parking lots
@@ma3stro681 I gotta make it there in one piece lol. I could probably make it there but not confident enough that the other drivers won't run me over if I stall or get nervous ad make a mistake since I live in LA

You make terrific videos, helping me for on road riding- i have ridden since 12 yrs old, done few races mx and flat track which i feel also improved my skills for the road. BIG bore 2 stroke mx bikes also taught me respect on the throttle also,lol. Cheers .Paul, Australia
FYI….@ 10:40 to be honest that was a little bit of brake applied to the new tires with an oily showroom polish residue. Dealership paperwork now covers that in detail and requires the driver to sign acknowledgment because it has become such frequent problem at or around a mile of the dealership. This incident was shown on a tire video that explained this “slick new tire”accident in more detail. Inspect the tires and rough up/wipe down those tires prior to driving anywhere is recommended.
Correct hand(wrist) position at the throttle is 'hands down' the most important one; should be hammered in the beginners' heads much more ... As always, great video!
Interestingly, when I trained for my motorbike license, which by now was almost 30 years ago, my driving instructor also taught me this kind of Hand position on the throttle that you showed here for the same reasons, better braking control, less risk of still being on the power while braking and less risk of ripping the throttle open if you get spooked.
Thanks for the awesome video!!! Totally makes my day ❤ Q: might the jerky throttle happen because the ppl are heavy on the handlebars? I noticed that of myself and I try to be very light on the handlebars even when breaking and engage the core muscles
a lot of these problems are greatly reduced for Choppers and Cruisers due to their stance. the rear break one is a common mistake other cruiser boys makes too. since we sit behind the engine, the weight is equally distributed when we sit on it. it makes unintentional wheelies hard and lifting the rear wheel almost impossible when breaking. and that is why low powered cruisers are a great beginner bike for learning the essentials.
I always watch your beginner videos although I'm not a beginner and have a lot of courses and some track days behind me. But I dare not thinking there's not much left to learn. Like I never dare to think that after the winter break I didn't get a little bit rusty with riding and instead take a safety and cornering course to warm myself up for the season.
It's kind of interesting- I grew up riding bicycles with hand brakes. I instinctively reach for the front brake on my moto and have to force myself think about the fact I have a rear/foot brake, too.
Me too. And that results in skid in the event you want to apply emergency braking. There's one crash video on my channel. So rear brakes are important too.
On my CB650R I get pretty decent rear brake feel. The pedal gets hard enough to _know_ you're on it, then good braking action occurs. It also has the adjustment range to sit just under my toes when I'm in a good regular/touring position. Feels more comfortable to have my foot on straight than sticking out to the side. If I'm having a blast, toes are on the pegs so no risk of dragging it.
Hi, Thanks for yet another excellent video! I got my motorcycle license last summer so I am fairly new to riding. I have a question: If I understood your thoughts on braking correctly, you mean that the front brake should be applied progressively? While training for my license I intuitively did this but was told not to do it. Instead, I was instructed to apply the front brake with a quick and firm grip and hold steady. This worked fine. In fact, the only close call I had while braking was one time when I did brake progressively from about 70km/h. This resulted in a big stoppie. I was lucky to control it without crashing. But as I was not prepared for it, it was a bit intimidating. In your videos you also do stoppies while explaining this braking technique. Can you please clarify and elaborate a bit more on how to brake progressively _without_ doing a voluntary or involuntary stoppie? Thanks!
Weight transfer per se is istantaneous, however it takes a moment for the fork to compress and allow the weight to become pressure on the wheel and tyre.
Excellent Andrey! I think you are one of the best moto instructors. All the explanations you provide helps us in understanding the mechanics and become better riders. Could you please make a video on slow riding techniques on an automatic scooter or a DCT transmition on bigger bikes? On a manual bike we have full control of the power delivery using the clutch but on automatic we don't have that. All the best!
On the first tip: I was taught to ride with 2 fingers on the brake at (almost) all time since it saves you a very necessary time to reach the brake in the emergency. How does it fly with your advice? Do you recommend the same or it's better to not do it?
I don’t get why people love pulling the clutch in, I don’t think I ever do unless I’m stopped. Engine braking to stop lights and stop signs is 90% of my braking and is especially good for break-in period. Engine braking when traffic slows down is phenomenal too and I’ll drag some rear for the brake light.
@@amisfitpuivk I like dragging front for the brake light: you already have rear brake from the engine, and having the front preloaded really helps if you actually need to brake.
Emergency break, just press a bit the rear brake and almost at same time start to press front brake smoothly, when you almost have sttoped press clutch lever. No matters the experienced you are, practice it whenever you can
The other thing leaning back does is shift your weight towards the back wheel allowing more brake pressure to the front as the bike is a bit less inclined to lift the rear up. It is also worth practicing cutting power with the clutch as it can save you with a whiskey, or if your throttle gets stuck open, though as said you should not be clutching for anything and everything. My first bike had really aggressive and sudden engine braking where it would jerk you forward, and I tended to either friction zone it to ease it in, or in bad weather would clutch it completely as it could cause the rear to slide. As a result it gave me really good feel for braking (this is before ABS where you could lock the front up). Also while you may not be able to feel the rear brake through your boot, you can feel through the seat what the bike is doing and when it is starting to lock up.
If you want more front brake pressure, you move your body forward and put your weight through the front of the bike, not lean back! Watch how much weight and pressure racers put through the front end braking hard into corners. Don’t give bad advice when you don’t know what you’re talking about … 😵
@@SushiArmageddon Read my comment. He obviously has no idea what he’s talking about, like so many often in the comments. Would love to see him riding hard in the mountains with this leaning back style … 😂🤡😵

Jeżdżę motocyklem od 38 lat i nigdy nie zdarzyło mi się nie zamknąć przepustnicy przed hamowaniem. Zawsze hamuję wszystkimi palcami , nie dwoma, jak to jest teraz w modzie. Po prostu mogę mocniej nacisnąć dźwignie hamulca. pozdrawaim
Covering the rear brake mistake. There is only one place when you have to be guilty of this mistake, and that's when riding on the city. On the city every moment is a risk, at every moment you might need an abrupt emergency braking or slowing down for slow moving traffic all around you. On the highway it IS a mistake, at those speeds you have to rely on front brake before anything. So, a circumstantial mistake :9
I understand that the throttle must not be opened too quickly, but is it really needed to close it slowly as well? I feel like even if closing it very quickly, it won't lock the rear tire or anything, right?
Be aware that the Suzuki video at 10:39 is more due to the fact that that is a brand new motorcycle with factory tyres. The mold gel they use when making them makes the tyres extremely slippery until broken in. It's less so because the rider used too much throttle; in normal circumstances (with broken in tyres) he would've been fine.
But doesn't the whiskey-throttle-preventing grip also prevent the rev-matching on downshifts since it puts the brake out of reach unless throttle is fully closed?
I would like to see these expanded for ABS equipped bikes. This is great stuff, but I want to maximize use of the supplied equipment. Or is that not valid for learning techniques? I have been riding for 50 years and I am going to go practice some of this stuff later today.
@@MotoControlEn Looking forward to it, and I know a professional can stop faster with ABS disabled. But I am "regular people" who tend to freeze and therefore do not apply max braking, even when ABS is available. I would like to get over that bad habit! That deer encounter was a wakeup call. Sure I have been riding half a century, but if it ever happens again,, I want to stop at maximum braking instinctively.
Is there a drill you recommend for learning limits of ABS braking? I hit a deer the other night and I know darn well I didn't brake to the maximum limits of the bike. Thankfully I slowed enough and it's back leg just dusted off my fender without even scratching the paint.
This does not concern me. On my BMW motorcycle I have the Dynamic Brake Control from the manufacturer. IOW, should I brake during full acceleration, the DBC of my bike will automatically cancel the throttle.
It should. Grab that front brake sharpish and see what happens to you. If you don't fancy trying that, try the rear brake on it's own when you want to stop sharp.
@@Simon-fm8yc I am not sure what you mean, please expand. Again, when I brake during acceleration, the Dynamic Brake Control in my BMW bike will automatically cancel the throttle.
@@MotoControlEn Nope, I actually discovered this quite accidentally. I was following a car at a high rate of speed when its driver did something totally unexpectedly and I had to slam on my bike's brakes violently. Afterwards I was wondering how this is possible, i.e. I kept accelerating AND braking hard at the same time, and yet I was slowing down. So I started digging in the owner's manual and discovered that my BMW bike sports their Dynamic Brake Control, and that is the reason why my bike was slowing down at that moment. Something similar occurred on the highway some time afterwards when the lane I was traveling in suddenly slowed down and I had to brake hard. Yet another electronic nanny made by BMW.
That would be a great video. The biggest fear is of course dropping it. The trouble most have is that they're not taught how to get the bike to stand up if it feels like it's going to drop. i.e. during slow speed maneuvers where balance is precarious. If the bike feels like it's going to fall the only thing that's going to prevent that is often applying throttle but applying throttle is very counterintuitive to a beginner who's more inclined to go for the brakes.
So I have a question. How would you do trail braking with the proposed hand trouble position? If you are going to reach for a front break you will cut the throttle during cornering. Thanks in advance.
That's what you want actually, otherwise your front brake will be fighting the engine powering the rear wheel. If you've throttled all the way down when you begin to pull in the front brake, then you're also engine braking - both wheels are working together to slow you down. If you've slowed down enough and trailed off the brakes, you can ease on a little throttle to maintain your speed. That's good for a long sweeping turn. For something short, you might brake through the entire turn, and only open the throttle again to accelerate.
I like that you always show the physics behind every action, not just “trust me”. It is easier to remember if you understand the principle behind.
That's the point, otherwise it's just bro-science😁
“Trust me bro”
It is the reason this is my favorite motorcycle instructor channel.
"Trust me bro" is extremely useless when you're trying to teach someone.

Is it best to do two finger braking and clutch control or to do four finger braking and clutch control?
I understand that the throttle must not be opened too quickly, but is it really needed to close it slowly as well? I feel like even if closing it very quickly, it won't lock the rear tire or anything, right?
What would be your solution to having the front wheel in a rut, like off-road, or if riding parallel to tram tracks ?
That's why handling should be much better on Sportbikes, where the rider is leaning forward. I also do those already, and you're definitely right.
I see so many sport bike riders doing their damndest to sit upright, it's a wonder they turn at all 😂

Be aware that the Suzuki video at 10:39 is more due to the fact that that is a brand new motorcycle with factory tyres. The mold gel they use when making them makes the tyres extremely slippery until broken in. It's less so because the rider used too much throttle; in normal circumstances (with broken in tyres) he would've been fine.
The most noticeable thing about most of these is shoes.
Failing that it's shades or tinted visors and a T shirt.
But doesn't the whiskey-throttle-preventing grip also prevent the rev-matching on downshifts since it puts the brake out of reach unless throttle is fully closed?

may i ask, can you just let go of the throttle then break/progessive breaking? thank you
9:36 Same can be said about WD-40.
BTW: what happened to the assortment of colours that were offered for the Ultramax Cell?
I can't speak for them, obviously, but I guess they should restock soon!
Riding for long with throttle open by bending at the wrist wont cause wrist pain?
That first one wasn't user error. That was the bike trying to self delete.
10:48 one of the biggest oof, this guy just took his brand new R7 then crashed
@Andrei : Try to change injector woth one from 390. Your bike will be a little beast.
This does not concern me.
On my BMW motorcycle I have the Dynamic Brake Control from the manufacturer.
IOW, should I brake during full acceleration, the DBC of my bike will automatically cancel the throttle.
It should. Grab that front brake sharpish and see what happens to you. If you don't fancy trying that, try the rear brake on it's own when you want to stop sharp.
@@Simon-fm8yc I am not sure what you mean, please expand.
Again, when I brake during acceleration, the Dynamic Brake Control in my BMW bike will automatically cancel the throttle.
He means have you actually tried fast braking with open throttle, or just read it in the owners manual🙃
@@MotoControlEn Nope, I actually discovered this quite accidentally.
I was following a car at a high rate of speed when its driver did something totally unexpectedly and I had to slam on my bike's brakes violently.
Afterwards I was wondering how this is possible, i.e. I kept accelerating AND braking hard at the same time, and yet I was slowing down.
So I started digging in the owner's manual and discovered that my BMW bike sports their Dynamic Brake Control, and that is the reason why my bike was slowing down at that moment.
Something similar occurred on the highway some time afterwards when the lane I was traveling in suddenly slowed down and I had to brake hard.
Yet another electronic nanny made by BMW.

Can you make a video on short riders overcoming the fear for riding taller motorcycles.😅
That would be a great video. The biggest fear is of course dropping it. The trouble most have is that they're not taught how to get the bike to stand up if it feels like it's going to drop. i.e. during slow speed maneuvers where balance is precarious. If the bike feels like it's going to fall the only thing that's going to prevent that is often applying throttle but applying throttle is very counterintuitive to a beginner who's more inclined to go for the brakes.
@@MrBCRC yup I'm 5.3ft or 160cms and rides a duke 390 2022 model. I have the confidence in riding on the highway but on the traffic the fear is there.
So I have a question. How would you do trail braking with the proposed hand trouble position? If you are going to reach for a front break you will cut the throttle during cornering. Thanks in advance.
Watch what he does at 5:20 in the close up.
That's what you want actually, otherwise your front brake will be fighting the engine powering the rear wheel.
If you've throttled all the way down when you begin to pull in the front brake, then you're also engine braking - both wheels are working together to slow you down. If you've slowed down enough and trailed off the brakes, you can ease on a little throttle to maintain your speed. That's good for a long sweeping turn. For something short, you might brake through the entire turn, and only open the throttle again to accelerate.
I'll make a vid about trail braking soon, it seems to be in demand!
04:33 how can this possibly be a natural hand/wrist position? It looks very uncomfortable for both the wrist and the back.
