I worked a few classes here in the USA. I personally thought it'd been nice to have an atv just to teach some of the people friction zone without having to worry about anything else. Friction zone and people not looking where they we're supposed to go was what caused the main problems.
Downshifting based on RPM is great... but what about those bikes without an RPM gauge? I do it based on sound and general lengine feel... if it feels sluggish or sounds like it's struggling slightly, then I downshift
11:37 I'm currently down shifting based on the speed so 0-10mph 1st gear. 10-20mph 2nd gear. 20-30mph 3rd gear and so on so on from 30-40, 40-50 and I do the same for the gears. If I'm on 60mph > 6th gear and i pull the the throttle in coming to a stop and downshift every 10mph each time with a slow release of the clutch each time
Im thinking of buying a Honda CBR 125R its used its a 2012 and i need some advice if i should buy it or not im turning 17 this year so i wana know if its a good bike i should get or save up for a better one
My bike does not have a gear indicator. And I don't really need it. I can't really feel what gear I am in, but I don't need to. If the revs are to low, then I downshift. If the revs are really high then I upshift. I can feel the difference between first and second gear, and I cant really shift down from first, so it's not a problem.
IMO, the cbr650r is a good starter bike. Friendly ergonomics. Plenty of power. Not too heavy. That bike should last you a long time before you get tired of it. It is a bike that you can grow into. Keep practicing the basics and you will be just fine.
@@MattBruzdziak hi Matt. Thanks for the good information. I’ve been wanting to ride a bike for a long time now and after a lot of research this seems to be a really good started bike. Can’t wait to pass and get one!!
You may not be aware of it but over very low speeds on a motorcycle you are counter steering when changing direction, this is true for bicycles as well.
@@KrisVickers-wn6dd For sure, and it certainly something I use , but like techniques like trail braking, they are skills that fall into a more advanced skill set. CBT by definition is basic training.👍
@@davapod Yeah but I don't understand while people aren't at least made aware. I only discovered it after I saw an amateur rider collide head first with a truck. Thankfully he survived but if he had known counter steering he would've avoided the accident all together. In fact because he was so desperately turning to avoid the truck the bike actually ended up going towards it.
I learnt about counter steering during my cbt but only because I already had my DAS booked for 2 weeks after, otherwise probably wouldnt have mentioned it.
love the 125 ninja videos
Thanks passed my cbt last week bike coming this weekend will try these tips out.
I'm enjoying your videos. Keep them coming.
Starting to get to used to clutch control

Great educational video dude 👍🏍
Great information and video ,much needed

Nice video! Didn't know you could go up to 2nd on cluck alone, doesn't sound too happy but that's just the torque right thats struggling a little
hella good advice green goblin ridah
Can you do a video of rev matching? Im a new rider and that is still confusing to me.

More ZX9R content, I can tell you love riding the red beast !! ❤

love the duckie :)
I dropped my bike doing u-turns yesterday. way better today tho.
Hi I currently doing my A license. Do you think a CB650R is a good starter bike?

Are you counter steering?
My cbt said nothing about counter steering.
ps what kind of boots are you wearing?
You may not be aware of it but over very low speeds on a motorcycle you are counter steering when changing direction, this is true for bicycles as well.
@@davapod Yes I'm aware. But Active counter steering is push left go left, push right go right.

Brrrumm Brrrummmm Brrrrummmm
Heard you were banned from completely in Gloucester now, inproper bike behaviour?
