    Got my first scooter today, drove up and down the driveway, I definitely need a parking lot to practice in, was not that confident riding it lol.

      I got my scooter yesterday, i practiced for about half an hour and im comftrable riding it now.The only problem is that my growth spurt hasn't really started yet, so im shorter than my friends.Because im short it makes my ability to move the scooter around when its not turned on much harder.Man this thing is heavy!

      +Lavi Nia Sorry I forgot signals. You just push the lever to either side to activate. Then push it in to cancel. And to reverse, just practice walking backwards. lol. But really, just make sure your feet are on a stable surface because you'll be transferring weight side to side.

      First off...great video and great scooter too. I also like that you wore protective gear and were very organized in your presentation.
      One question that I have when it comes to backing up the scooter is this: it might depend on the particular situation, but do you do it with the motor on or the motor off? I've actually seen different opinions. There might not be one right answer, but how do you do it? (For example, I saw someone with a lot of TH-cam instruction videos for beginners who said he prefers to back his bike (motorcycle) into a parking space so when he leaves he can more safely pull forward and not have to worry about backing into any cars. But on his motorcycle he has a neutral gear when he backs in; on a scooter there's really no neutral gear. So that's why I'm asking. Because in the process of pulling back on the handlebar you might accidentally pull back on the throttle and that wouldn't be so great.)

    • @bench175
      @bench175  8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      ***** I usually ride front-first into a space and back up with the motor on so it can warm up a bit. I don't think I've ever accidentally given throttle when backing up. There should be a little play in the throttle that will help prevent that, but overall it's not likely bc you're pulling straight back on the handle, not rotating it.

But I'm looking forward to learning how to ride and enjoy this summer, and this video is a nice tutorial, thanks again!

The first time I rode a motorcycle (with clutch, etc.), I wasn't told where the brake was and ended up crashing into a fence...whisky throttled it when I started panicking. Lol!

    Great videos! I am approaching my 70th BD and have decided to downsize a bit. I've owned over 25 motorcycles including many Yamaha's. I love Yamaha for their quality and fit and finish. After several hundred thousand miles moving to a Majesty should be pure fun! I'm currently riding a 2012 Harley Dyna Switchback and Its getting a bit heavy and bulky so I traded it to my local Yamaha dealer for a 2014 Majesty 400. I'm planning on fitting a Shad SH39 Top Case, a taller Cee Bailey W/S, a 12V outlet in the glovebox and under the rear seat. I might throw on a pair of Pirelli Diablo tires as well.

    • @bench175

      Honestly, countersteering is something you don't even think about when you ride. Even on a bicycle, you do it automatically.

    Haha, I'm glad you have instructions for those of us who are short. I'm 5'2" and my tip toes barely reach the ground in regular sitting position like you are. So what I would do is, when needing to push, sit on the seat like you're standing over a bicycle seat, that is legs on either side pointing straight down to the ground rather than bent forward in a siting position. Doing that gave me enough contact with the ground to have some traction.

    I've only tried one jacket, Tour Master Intake, that my sister got me two years ago so I don't know much about brands. However, I really like my jacket because I can wear it year-round. It is mesh so I can use it in the summer, but it's big enough to use a jacket underneath in the winter. It's also about half white with reflective piping so I can be seen at night.

    Something to mote about the Silver Wing brakes is that the front and rear brakes are actually linked so that the left hand lever actuated both. Initially the rear brake is applied then after a slight delay the front brake is applied. The right hand lever operates only the front brake. So for emergency braking both levers can be used for maximum braking. The trick is not to squeeze too tightly all of a sudden but to gradually apply pressure. Of course ABS (which is an option on early models) helps to prevent the tires from skidding under hard braking. Thx for the vid.
