Thanks Rachel! Congrats on passing the MSF and getting the Ninja 500, those new 500s look awesome. Stay safe out there and make sure to keep practicing!
@@Omar-ly3hy depends on ur budget. if u can get something new without breaking the bank id go for that. Im really enjoying my new bike. learning about engine break in period and other stuff has been really informative too.
Keep it up man! Just passed the MSF this past weekend, did my first practice session last night. 2019 Z650, look up Motojitsu drills if you haven’t already
im still learning too but its my understanding that (~7min) when riding around you want to keep covering the front brake, what ive heard is if you get a custom lever and adjust it so you can comfortably have a finger on it while riding, its much better. even on empty roads incase a deer jumps or something. if you havent seen 'motojitsu' on youtube and his drills, he has a video on it i believe nice job though
It depends on the situation of when to do either. So what I was doing in this video was downshifting to get me to slow down at stops (engine braking) - to “rev match” like I was you will need to do three things: blip the throttle a bit, pull in clutch and release right away as you kick down to get it to drop a gear (all at the same time) It was confusing at first but I promise you will get it down if you keep practicing. Watch my hands when I do it in the video. Also there are a lot of videos I watched on youtube that helped me just search “how to downshift on a motorcycle” goodluck!
hell yeah, keep on practicing! try to keep your speed at 8mph-15mph when doing u-turns so you can get more lean as you counter weight! have my own training sessions too if you're interested Mixed Plate Gaming!
You hit a signal around 9min, it looked like you were pulling the clutch throughout all of that time, in the long run it will decrease your clutch's durability considerably. The ideal would be to just shift N and let go of the clutch, after some practice you will respond almost at the same speed when the lights turn green, and if you take a second or two, who cares, beside your clutch? I'm a beginner myself, just trying to help
Thanks for watching Amanda 🙂 i was told from a experienced rider to always be in first gear at a stop light in case of an emergency - to move quickly out of the way from being rear ended by a car not paying attention. I guess when there is no one behind me keeping it in neutral will be optimal to save the clutch as you mentioned so depending on the situation i think both should work. Stay safe out there, already have had a few close calls
Great video man! I just bought a Ninja 500 and passed my MSF course a month ago so now I'm taking my time to practice

same with me. I passed the msf about a month ago and i pick up my ninja on Tuesday :D
Congrats! Everyone's saying buy used but I'd like a new so I'm conflicted. How's the new bike?

Thanks! Good to hear, ride safe! Ill check out his stuff, appreciate the recommendation
Hey man quick question I have a shoulder recovering from surgery, how strong do I need to be before I can ride a ninja? How hard is it to turn
cant wait to hear a slip on exhaust with this bike. getting one soon but going r3 for the look and feel.

nice job though
Thanks John! That seems like a great safe habit I should start doing
Nice! I'm about to move from a maxi scooter to a MC, nice practice run and ride.
Thank you!
How do u rev match instead of just downshifting Normal or which way do u think is better?

@@TheHoonLife Im also planning on doing motorcycle content if i ever get ome, might aswell drop a sub :)
You should use your clucth and rear brake when you make slow speed turns. Try it in next video
Thanks for the advice! I will use the clutch more on my next slow turn practice.

@@TheHoonLife it's Leo actually, forgot I'm ony gfs account haha
That's fair, serves as a tip for me aswell, thx
You stay safe too
Motorcycles have a wet clutch. Holding the clutch in at stops will not hurt anything.
