Thank you! I am anticipating buying a cherry red 2003 Honda Shadow for my first motorcycle soon from someone I know. I have never ridden a motorcycle ever before. Thanks for the tips in this video.
I just bought a 750 due to my neighbor moving for 1k I’ve never ridden one and it’s sitting in my garage after watching your video I feel like giving it a whirl
In Australia where i live we can't take motorcycle out of our yard to practice in car park unless we have a Unrestricted full Licence Person with us to Supervise us ! We can only go do Learners Course to get our Learner Licence ^ even then we can't ride on public roads unless we have person with unrestricted licence with us on his bike supervising ! We cant take our bike to car part to practice on our own by way of riding on public road ! unless we can load bike into / onto a trailer then drive car with trailer & bike to car park & practice!

Do you only use the clutch to go from neutral to first and visa versa on bikes? Or do you have to use the clutch for up and down shifts like a car as well
Good question yea I always bring in the clutch when I down shit and right when I down shift I give it sole gas jus to make sure it dnt shut thee engine off or stall 😊
Essentially you have to rev match. Going from 3rd to 2nd for example, you clutch in, blip the throttle and downshift into 2nd and release the clutch same as in a car and as time goes with practice you'll get smoother with it.
Thanks for watching and subscribe... you have to downshift to 3rd, then 2nd, then 1st, then you upshift slightly to get to neutral (i know it sounds like alot but once youre riding it will be natural) also typically if your bike is moving you never go into neutral get (you pull the clutch in to disengage the gears)
@@Drive315is it okay to downshift into 1st? I've got a manual mustang but you're not ever supposed to downshift into first gear unless you're going like 3 mph. Is this the same case for the shadow and motorcycles in general?
You’re taking for granted that people wanting to learn how to ride, knows “bike gears”, and how to go from neutral to 1st. If this is a “how to”, assume your viewer knows nothing. 👍🏼
I notice he is not wearing a proper riding jacket....let's see where this goes. At 0:50 you blew it !! Number one is: Can the person ride a bicycle? You need that balance skill first. Next you need to know how to stop a motorcycle before you get the ignition key.

Explain the Friction zone matey 🤔
Do you only use the clutch to go from neutral to first and visa versa on bikes? Or do you have to use the clutch for up and down shifts like a car as well
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
Every time you shift you should use the clutch
You didn't show where the shifter was to put in neutral, remember we are going in cold.
Thanks man, will be cool if you make video how you change speed.
Thanks for watching and subscribe! I actually made 3 separate videos like this , all with different bikes. Check them out on my channel!
So when u down shift do you have to hold the clutch to?
Good question yea I always bring in the clutch when I down shit and right when I down shift I give it sole gas jus to make sure it dnt shut thee engine off or stall 😊

Quick question if your on 4 gear do you have to go down gears if your ready to stop or can you just put on neutral like cars ??
