Omg! That reminds me of another story!
Electric rental scooter, I had it on but you can't hear anything running, pushed it off the center stand with my hand on the throttle... that thing yeeted from underneath me lol. Had to pay $200 worth of damages.
I once dropped my KLX300SM. I was sad for 5 minutes then picked it up.
Then I realized that she was… completely fine.
I have a very bad habit of using the front brake in low speed, and honestly I’m surprised that I haven’t dropped her more.
Was just thinking that, number 1 step immediately turn it off, some people don't think about it too either they're in shock or just don't know
@@CanadianGods My bike has an automatic engine shut off if it detects a drop.
@@b226tjyeah My ride on lawn mower does the same thing as soon as I get off the seat, it has a built in automatic cut out switch.
Just an addition. If the bike dropped on the exhaust side: Put the kickstand down BEFORE you pick the bike up. And be very careful not to burn yourself on the exhaust while you lift the bike.
Hey Yammie….CHECK out the Cross Armed Handle Bar Lift….dropped my Goldwing last summer at 1mph…I know I know….but using that technique IMO really gave a 50 yr old more mechanical Leverage than from an old back…just something to review…and I think bike “righting” needs more content..so Thanks For Bringing attention 👊
Man this made me feel so much better. Stopped in a parking lot with a slight slope and uneven pavement earlier today. Been riding for a few weeks now and things were becoming second nature. Went to get off the bike like I have a dozen times before - and my brain took a bit too long to realize why it wasn’t settling on the kickstand. I forgot to put it down.
Amazing how the bike goes from completely manageable to what feels like a million pounds in just a few seconds. Just a few extra degrees of lean angle and it’s all over.
I felt so disappointed in myself - like maybe I’m not cut out for this - despite loving every second on that bike. Yam - hearing you say it’s not a big deal and hearing everyone else’s experiences goes a loooong way.
My lesson today was complacency - it’s easy to forget how heavy the machine you are on is - and how you really need to stay focused at all times. Even something as routine as getting off the bike can go wrong quickly.
Mistakes are fine - as long as you learn from them. Glad I’m not the only one still learning.
Bro if you keep riding you’ll do the same thing 20 years from now. Accidents happen it’s more important how you handle it
2 weeks into riding my brand new 2005 CBR125 as a basic course passer, I dropped in in a car park on the right after losing my footing on wet diesel. I wish I’d known to put the kick stand down before I lifted it, would have saved buying the left side indicators when it fell over that way after standing it up and loosing my footing on the same slippery patch or tarmac.
But the first thing to do is make sure the engine is off!!
I know exactly what you mean. It happened to my friend once. Pick up left only to drop to the right. We now have a good laugh about it
This is the first time I've seen this type of tip. Very awesome. Thank you!
My MSF course experience included a drop or two, I will admit that...
As others have said, first step kill the engine (if it didn't automatically shut off) and turn the ignition off. I think you can also turn off the fuel valve on a castrated bike.
If the bike is on the right side, put the kick stand down before you lift the bike.
If the bike is not in gear try to lock the front brake so the bike doesn't roll around/away from you.
Hey yammie, I just got my endorsement and my first bike in September and I’m October I was out riding and had just pulled into a parking lot to go to a restaurant and I didn’t quite get my side stand all the way down and when I went to set her down the bike kept going, now granted I’m a fairly strong guy so I caught it and stood it back up but it was definitely for the books on one of my funnier moments since I started riding
Just laid down my new 390 Adventure trying to get the front wheel lifted. At least it was in my garage. Best place to practice this, I guess. Now, for my first squat in years. . .
It is always a good idea, in my opinion, to have a set of good frame sliders. I know the first time I dropped my bike, they helped a lot. The only thing that broke was the tip of my clutch lever and my mirror was scratched.
I dropped my brand new Z650 the first time I took her out. Tried a tight u-turn on a slight inclined rural street, hit the curb at like 4mph at an angle. It scratched a few things on the left side but cracked the front fender big time. Lesson learned.
In my lifetime, I know of at 3 instances of guys I know, coming to a stop after a long ride and forgetting to put their feet down. All experienced riders. At least 1 was sober.
I dropped my bike twice so far, once stalling going around a corner up a hill, and once practicing u turns in a parking lot.
Riding 30+ years...dropped my Street Triple....Put on winter ski gloves; too poofy and popped clutch setting out. Clank, (right in front of the house). Luckily, only the neighbours saw it and they were delighted! 🤪
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I forgot my disk lock on, got on the bike and tried to take off down the road. Didn't happen, the bike dropped on my car 😂😂😂
@@AkaBull hey, That's a good one there LOL I haven't done that yet but it's probably coming LOL
@@Jon-yy4yc 🤣🤣🤣 sometimes we forget, I'm only human lol
Dropped mine twice within 5 minutes of each other. It was about a week after I picked it up from the dealer. I got distracted and went to put the kickstand down while the bike was still on, hit the shift lever instead and it got away from me, broke my brake lever and scuffed up the mirror a bit. Second time I didn't realize the kickstand was up and it got away from me again, bent the shift lever and the clutch lever.
I learned the hard way to tuck in my boot laces when I stopped at a red light first in line. Lace caught on the brake lever as I put my foot down, and the bike followed
I got an ZH2 and went to park the bike sideways on a slight incline, and it dropped. I also went to put the kickstand down, and my shoelace got caught on the gearshifter, and it threw me off, and I dropped it.
I just learned how to ride a dirt bike last weekend so I went and bought one so I can further learn. I dumped my friends dirt bike because I couldn't get my foot down in time and everyone there saw it happen they all said it looked like you were in slow motion (pretty embarrassed). My buddy comes over and goes what happened? I said I couldn't get my foot down in time, he just looked at me and said I thought you were trying to park my bike in an odd position. I apologized and he says these are meant to be dropped you're good.
Shoes with worn out soles, are one of the biggest culprits no one thinks about.
Put your foot down, no grip and you lose your footing.
Thank you for the video. I thought I was the only one that has dropped their motorcycle. I dropped mine when my back tire lost traction and went out from under me.
My 1981 cb750 pick up no problem. My 1999 600 katana wow insane.
If your bike has dropped on it's right side, put the kickstand down before picking it up.
It's easier, I promise.
For a while, my bikes starter was dead. I was starting it via bumpstart, running along side and then jumping on it. I did this many times. One time it bout started but ended up dieing, now i was only sitting on the seat and had not strattled the bike yet, it sputtered and i lost my balance and over she started. I jumped off as to not crush my legs and then she fell over. Got her back up, damaged a mirror and a bit of scrape. She was fine. Did another bump start and off i went. Got the starter fixed and still ride it as my main bike. She is a 82 kz750ltd kawasaki.
It isn't a beginner bike till its been dropped (talking from experience...) 😂😂
Here after my first bike drop!
I have been riding street bikes since 1994 dirt bikes long before that. I ride a Harley. Last summer my girlfriend and I were coming out of a parking lot. I put my foot down on a big round rock about the size of a baseball. That rock rolled and took my leg with it. There was traffic all around us, cars waiting to pull out of the parking lot behind us, cars pulling into the parking lot in front of us and over we went. All I could do was laugh. I knew the bike wasn't hurt; we weren't hurt but I was so embarrassed. A cager that was pulling into the parking lot seen the bike on its side, stopped and told me he was a rider then the two of us picked it up really quick. But yes, everybody drops their bike now and again.
Haven’t dropped my bike…yet…but came close in a parking space when the kickstand wasn’t down all the way. I was able to catch it in time and pulled a hammie…about pissed my pants too.
☝️☝️hit me up
They have videos of little old ladies picking up full size bikes this guy picks up one of the tiniest bikes ever.way to go most people can muscle up that little bike
See that's what I was worried about with kickstands. I expected them to act like a bicycle kickstand and either go up the other way or keep going forward and make the bike lean more to ground.
Dropped my kawasaki z400 in my barn(dirt floor that's got lots of bumps) got off it and went to put the kickstand down, had to lean it to the other side more cause rocks the kickstand was hitting and it slowly fell over, the whole falling time had to be like 4 seconds of it just slowly falling, kinda sucks but there wasn't a single mark on it. Been riding for almost 5 years now too
I was turning my bike around in the garage which my fathers truck was also in. I was using the clutch to move forward when I put the front brake on too hard. I dropped it really slowly fortunately. I scratch on the exchaust and thats it. No chips on the plastics, the bars hit the ground so soft they hardly moved. But damn. If I were just a little more attentive i wouldnt had dropped it.
Deadlifters like me do this at least once a week. 😁
The first time I fell off my bike was on my ninja 250r beacuse a car driver decided to overtake a tractor then pull in front just a sec later she does a right from main road while I was overtaking the tractor and although I avoided hitting here I lock my front brake up at around 20 mph bike was fine just a bit scratched on the left side and gear lever was bent.
Ive dropped my bike once. Remember when you said the new RC390 looked like an ugly Gatorade bottle? Now it's beautiful. Change of heart?
I dropped my first ducati at stop signal, my pants got jammed in the foot pegs, couldn't reach the ground and dropped the bike
"Oh no, not like this"! LOL! Yep, did that one, "cruising" at a very popular and populated area doing a U-turn on a 1994 Honda CBR1000F! Navigated the U-turn piss-poorly and clutched it and bam! Instant embarrassment! (Yes, that was my first bike) Sorry for the necro!
Or you ride a Buell and it vibrates its way off the side stand :D
@EricYamieNoob.By the way, the rider might want to engage first gear if the back me was dropped on a slope, preventing the bike from rolling backward or forward while he/she is lifting if of the ground.
Great helpful video...
Also make sure the bike is in gear before you try to pick it up.. don't ask me how I know...
Pro-tip: don't try to jump off it on a zero speed drop with your arms out onto the sidewalk and dislocate and fracture your shoulder.
Nice
This is not at all how to right a motorcycle
Papa yam uploaded a whole video for lifting a bike. So, it's a serious issue or content shortage may be...
Winter time content. I enjoyed the video on how to load up in a truck.
👆 he's right, it's winter and Yam does not ride in the cold.. many in the North don't either. So enjoy what's left.
Content shortage. Meanwhile, Spite's hit 100k subs!
@@uberDoward what are you trying to say ?
The real FIRST step, should not be to turn off the bike/engine? Most ones I see people dropping are on.
No shit
@@X11CHASEu good bruv?
Literally just did this as a brand new rider. Broke the folding footpeg, tip of the front brake lever, scratched up the bar end. Then immediately started ordering frame/axle sliders and replacement pegs. Fml but…learning experience! 🍻
A common way to drop a bike is to stall while doing a very slow speed turn. Make sure you have a healthy amount of revs so that you won't stall.
Abs spot on, it happened to me a fw weeks ago 😣 1st time to drop it n i snapped end of my brake lever .
Yep. Exactly the issue. I’ve had it stall so many times while doing the figure 8.
yup, now that I think about it, this is exactly what happened with me
Should i rev in neutral in the turn or? Sorry I'm a beginner 😅
@@stepintotheunknownnowKeep the revs slightly above idling at all times and gently control your speed with the clutch. If you feel like you're losing balance straighten your steering if possible and gently ease on the clutch while keeping your revs constant. Once you feel the clutch engaging HOLD IT at that exact position until you've gained enough speed and balance. I'm a beginner too so please correct me if I'm wrong but this is essentially what my instructor told me after I dropped the bike during slow speed (5 km/h) maneuvers.
ah yes im early for once
and now i can look like a pro finally
It kind of depends on the weight of the bike and your strength. I've dropped my CB500X more than once, but it's light enough and I'm strong enough that I can just pick it back up without much effort. If I was picking up a 'Busa I might have to think about my lower back, but for most bikes I'm actually considering owning I can just snatch them off the ground. My wife on the other hand, this video is definitely for her. Her power to bike-weight ratio is significantly lower.
Here's one, I was TEST riding a brand new z650 and thought I could pull a tight U-turn and dropped it. Fortunately for both the dealer and I, I was already set on buying it.
Here's another, brand new Ducati Monster 821, I'm at a stop light. Once the light turned green, got off the rear break and didn't put my foot down all the way, tried to get in gear but didn't, got my right foot back up (both feet on pegs now) rev bombed on Neutral!!!! Tipped over and dropped it lol.
Last one, washing my 2006 Ninja 250 and cleaning the chain... I was pushing the bike back into the garage with chain cleaner and soapy water on the floor... you guessed it, slipped and fell hit my chin.
It's always something stupid, my advice is be patient, stay mental engaged in what you are trying to do, and think everything out. You'll thank me later.
Exactly how I dropped my brand new Z650. Tried a tight u-turn on a slight inclined rural street, hit the curb at like 4mph at an angle. It lightly scratched a few things on the left side but cracked the front fender big time.
Yeah that’s definitely stupid and overconfident of you, why on earth would you put both feet on the pegs when the bikes not even rolling, and a you’re not at least 100% sure it’s in first
My first bike was a 2005 Suzuki Katana. Back in 2008 I was riding out of a gas station through the car wash area. The ground was slippery and soapy so when I put my feet down I started slipping and sliding all over the place and comically laid the bike down. I danced around trying to get the bike up and finally did so. I barely made it out of the gas station that day. The crazy thing is people were staring and not even offering help! In hindsight it was probably hilarious to watch for others. It happens!
@EricYamieNoob. I'm game!
gosh, I remember when I bought my Ducati ST4. It just got shipped from Italy and I thought I try it out quickly before making a decision to see if it fits. It had no number plates, I had no papers on me bc I left them in my car, nothing. Just started rolling when from the fog a police car appeared and pulled me over. I got so scared that I didn't notice that the side stand jumped back so I laid down the bike right in front of the policeman....can imagine, what he was thinking. 🙂 Strange thing, laying it down like that on the asphalt I didn't see a single scratch on it afterwards...or maybe it was the adrenaline making me blind? 🙂 Anyway, I paid the fine, bought the bike and whenever I think back on it, I just smile. I felt soooo stupid.
Great video Yam. I've been riding for about 15 years and I've dropped every one of my bikes. I always wanted an adventure bike so when Harley came out with their Pan America I excitedly got on the waiting list and bought one (2022 Pan America S). I love the bike but I've dropped it a few times while maneuvering without power (backing up, or mounting the bike). The problem is I'm only 5'8. I thought the adaptable ride height would be my savior but alas it was not. I also got the lower seat. Fortunately I've never had to lift it alone, people seem to always want to help in Central Georgia.
Where’s the YAAAAMCAAAAST lubeydood????
W video
Just dropped my new CBR500R in a carpark right after complaining that the frame sliders i installed were too pricy, i guess they just paid themselves off because nothing but the ends of the mirror were damaged.
Years ago I done a donut at my work in front of a few work mates,dropped it at the end of the donut. So i just picked it up and took off while they were laughing hah
Went for my first solo ride today. Watched this video before hand in preperation. I'm happy to report I didn't drop the bike once during my first solo ride... However while parking it at my house I thought I put the kickstand down(didn't)... and
tl;dr- video made it a breeze and helped me laugh it off lol
I laid down my RE Interceptor when I hit a patch of snow on uneven ground. I was lucky I was only going about 10 miles an hour, still super embarrassing. had to replace the turn signal and my mirror was tweaked, but all in all the bike survived.
Speaking of content, Yammie could review accuracy of moto anime Bakuon! w/ Whitney.
why: getting a girl's perspective while also being wholesome anime about a moto club. . redemption for the anime sticker bomb tank, hah
This is a disturbing crime scene, Papa Yam. Seeing a ktm on its side is flat out traumatic:(
I dropped my bike the second day I was learning to ride. It had rained earlier and the driveway was still wet, I started to pull out into the road and slipped like a banana peel. Was super glad I had put frame sliders on the bike when I was fixing it up before learning to ride.
Mine was horizontal on the ground in a descending angle street, not a flat one, and couldnt pick it up by myself. This has happened twice already.
This dude is makes the most clickbait type content ever.
idk what's up with this fucking bike but she's been trying to kill me these last couple of days! yesterday, in a rush to find another parking spot at this bullshit 'Graham' commercial job site, i started her up and was slowly wheeling away when fuckin, 'WAMMM!!!' felt like i got hit in the head with a telephone pole or something, and down i went, rolled a couple times, got up, was like, "wtf?! oh shit! i dropped it!"... forgot to take the disc brake lock off and it locked up the front wheel just as i got moving! lol. and in classical clown Justin fashion, i ran over to pick it up, back to the bike and lift when half way up something in my back literally POPPED and down i went with the bike again! now I'm laying flat out on my back groaning and half laughing while the bike is laid out flat on its side, some lady pulling up out of her underground parkade saw the whole thing... laying there flat out on my back, my bike was kinda blocking her path, i managed to lift my head, helmet on and give her a wave like, "hey I'm kinda fucked up here, go AROUND for fucks sake!" lmfao. not a single person came to help expect some dude working on another site on another block... while laid out flush i manged to dig my phone out of my pocket and call one of my guys who was parking his truck elsewhere as well, he's like, "yo, what's up?!" i say, 'grunt...groan...agggghhh' "hey i just crashed my bike I'm all fucked up come back quick!" lmfao! what a site to behold... the bike laid out flat one way, me laid out flush the other way with my full kit on lmfao! if you're gonna do it you may as well do it funny!!!
P.S- no damage to the bike at all.. just a couple more minor scratches. worked all day with a seriously hurt back and rode her home after it all. wouldn't trade it for anything!!!
Idk why I bought bike with 835mm seat height when I knew it's too tall and heavy first bike it's been 2 months and i dropped it twice both times it's the uneven surfaces
1 month of riding and i dropped my 94 Suzuki Intruder in the lamest way... Starting it up in neutral so it could warm up while gearing up as ive done numerous times... I dont know why i did it differently this time but i had apparently straightened the handle bars this time on the slightest downhill inclined parking space... Turned around to grab my helmet and next thing i know it was on the ground. Don't start your motorcycle in neutral with the handlebars straight on an incline unless you are on it! Lesson learned. Barely any damage cept a scuff on the fork, but noticed the next day fuel leaking upwards from a valve above the fuelcock while fuel is off... Doesnt leak while on and im stumped how it happened because all of that stuff is recessed into the bike. Maybe its age outlined another problem or wearing out o-ring or something? Ordered new valve hose and clamp, hopefully that fixes it cuz if not i wont know what to do.
dropped my bike 2 times on one day when it arrive hahaha
then the next day i dropped
it again. then after another 2 days i dropped it again hahaha my cbr500r is heavy
I just dropped my first bike. Yamaha r3 2024. Pretty bummed out just some scuffs on the left side and chipped off the rounded part of the clutch lever. Lame but I was warned it would happen as you say.
Basically, I tried to do a U turn at night, right left turn, and I didn’t realize how inclined the road was so I leaned too far.
But I don’t regret letting it drop, for a split second I could have MAYBE saved it but it was gonna be close and I didn’t want to hurt my wrists back or foot tbh.
I've always been worried about dropping it over the other way when doing that, not sure if it's just my paranoia but it seems like something that would happen.
Dropped mine in a parking lot today… felt terrible, not even sure why. Just got off balanced and weight got too much for me to counter.
Surprisingly, no video showing how to lift when dropped on the OTHER side. Definitely different than dropping on the kickstand side.
I dropped my bike tonight🥲 brand newly used N400 white. I pulled over to stop and sneeze the front tire touched the curbside at 1 mph, i looked down like WTH and she tipped over sooooo slowly i couldnt save it😢 but i tried. Nothing broken but some very minor scratches. Still my heart is broken. this is my 2nd day on my own. Passed MSF class a week ago. Tomorrow will be better😂
I dropped my husband’s brand new 2022 Kawasaki anniversary edition something (sorry I can’t remember the name). First time I took it out after he bought it. We both took the Manitoba motorcycle riders safety course together. Passed with few mistakes and of course I drop his brand new bike. Granted the bike is a bit too tall for me and a bit heavy for me. We just made a deal on a 2019 Honda Rebel today which is so much better for me size wise. I’m sure I’ll drop it too. I don’t even remember what made me fall. I had been doing great riding all around our neighbourhood and then just this one stop sign I came up to after about an hour of riding and I just started to fall over and that was the end of it. He was so mad at me. And then this summer I had been doing pretty good riding his bike again butWTF it happened again. And again I can’t remember exactly what caused me to fall. But I sure felt pretty stupid and really bad. He was really mad at me. That was last week and I haven’t even asked when I can go back out on the bike again. I think I won’t be riding till we are bringing that Rebel home
Young kids wanted to dap me up asking me to rev it wanted to be nice dap them and let me rev it I overshot a turn doing a drive by dap ended up in the side of the street where wet mud had accumulated 1mph down she went. Little scratches on easily replaceable components but the bike is a week old. Cfmoto 450ss. I’m mad but a learning experience for sure. New rider only a month of experience
On a 200kg wet bike, I’m guessing it would probably roughly equal a 100kg dead lift in the gym.
Asking for a friend. Didn’t drop a fast heavy Norton in 5-6 years. Only had 6 months on a 250 Yam scrambler. And don’t intend to squid it, just straight line rip on dry pavement.
But best to be prepared.
I am currently looking at purchasing my first bike from a dealer, just found out they are gunna be asking for 2500 down and between 250-275 a month for 60 months based on my credit, is it just me or does this sound like a horrible offer for a Kawasaki Ninja 650 KRT ABS? Appreciate anyones input or insights to help me get a better deal!
Yam, next time show us how to pick up vespa or grom. Please choose something worse to showing, something like elerctro glide, gold wing, 1250 gs. Handling of small bikes (especially KTM with one cylinder) doesnt require any spacial technique, big bikes from other hand really does, without it you wont be able to pick it up.
About 15 year ago I dropped my 1980 Suzuki GS750, which was pretty heavy. It was a hot summer day, I put it on a side stand, but the asphalt just sagged under the stand and the bike dropped! I thin stream of gas spurted from the venting hole in the tank cover and scared me to death as the engine and pipes where pretty hot after the ride. So, I grabbed it and pulled it up FACING the motorcycle... Since then my back constantly reminds me how stupid I was...
The day I got my zx14 I was following my wife through a construction zone and she slammed on her brakes at a yellow light. Braked into an endo and when stopped I lost my footing on loose gravel. Got it upright and she refused to start. Had to ask several people for jumper cables 🤦🏻♂️
I dropped my bike in the rain, my kickstand wasn’t fully out then when I put my foot down my foot slid due to the wet surface, clutch lever snapped off at the the end part. Two days later someone reversed into my bike while parked and it fell on the other side, broke the rear brake lever and pars of the master cylinder that pushes fluid through the brakes, she has yet to pay me back for damages :/. Btw I got a lil svart 401
Finally, all those years of deadlifting will become useful training
I dropped my bike TWICE while moving it to wash it, one day before my frame sliders came in the mail. 🎉
Operatable??? Operable maybe?
I’m a terrible person…😂
Desert Sled- forgot the kickstand, in the garage….couldn’t lift it, 100 lbs more than this KTM
Dropped my bike for the first time today. Hit a rock and it shot my front tire to the sode and threw me off, had some scuff marks and had to move my shifter back to it's normal spot and everything is good.
I dropped my husky leaving the dealership T.T
Wow. Dropping the bike at an intersection. Big fear. glad u didnt let that get to u
I would add one more point. First thing to do it turn the bike off. Then everything you said.
I dropped my first bike when I got it home. Forgot to put the sidestand out and laid it down
yeah now do it with an Electra Glide on an off camber icy road😁
try a 500 lb bike, easy on a lightweight ktm 390
Soooo, based on the title, you're a pro at dropping bikes? :)
Pros don’t drop the bike
Hi Papa Yam. There's actually an easier way to pick up a bike: Stand on the part of the front tire that is touching the ground while facing the handlebar and grab the handle near you with one hand and a straight arm, then bend in the knees and hips and stick your other arm and your behind out backwards while twisting your torso backwards and using your bodyweight as a counterweight to lift the bike, and you'll be saving yourself a lot of strength.
Do you have a video of this ?
@@AkaBull I'll make one ASAP.
so, twist your torso while lifting 400-600 lbs ? What could go wrong ?
@@Win7ermu7e You ain't lifting anything more than your own bodyweight at the most, dude. Can you even do a pull-up?
This is an excellent method, IF you've got a suitably shaped bike. Taller, heavier bikes are VERY difficult to lift this way, particularly for shorter people. Most relevant for adventure bikes, which tend to be tall and (comparatively) heavy.
This method is best imho for sport bikes, where it's wildly superior to the butt lift.
So you had no choice bruh, just had to lay it down.
You made my day 😘
Well, I just use strength.
Tks. much.
Well being able to deadlift the weight of a cruiser definitely helps
