Yammie's life lesson. "Take it to a parking lot.....you'll be fine."
I like this, but so do 69 others so I won't...
most parking lots in my town have gates closed
Call them Yammie Lots
I'm only worried about GETTING to the parking lot lol
You can only do so much damage in a parking lot
Still here waiting for that photo of Yammie at his last racing weekend to pop up 🙇🏻♂️
I have been watching you for couple of years now and I have liked your content. I just got my first bike and I am now a full squid. Thanks for inspiring me to get started
Should I be worried about not being scared to ride at all
@@akfin4763 nah dude I started out riding very very recently and there is nowhere I feel more comfortable on than on my bike. Maybe because it's a 100cc a1 bike....
Kakka Pyttynen that sounds like something someone who is actually scared would say...
@@LunchBXcrue I already crashed lol
@@akfin4763 lol
Awesome video!!! Today is officially my first day riding. I picked up an '02 SV650 last night and have a MSF course scheduled for the 18th, but until then I am about to do probably 6000 laps around my neighborhood annoying my neighbors lol.
EDIT: I just got home from my first time ever on a motorcycle. It was surprisingly intuitive. I stalled twice learning the clutch, then never stalled again. I don't have a parking lot nearby, so I just started pulling laps around the neighborhood and was surprised how manageable this 650 is even with the larger more torquey aftermarket sprocket the previous owner put on. I was so scared an intimidated by motorcycles, but it wasn't so bad. I actually was really confident and comfortable with the riding and operation of the bike, the thing I was struggling on was the lack of vision from the helmet, spatial awareness, forgetting my turn signals multiple times, and anxiety when a car was behind me, but in terms of actually operating the bike, it felt really good. I was smoothly upshifting, smoothly downshifting and blipping the throttle within 10 minutes of riding (I have been aggressively driving stick shift cars for the past 15 years every day, so shifting and rev matching is already ingrained in me), and I was able to downshift to first>come to a complete stop at a sign without putting even one foot down>smoothly pulling away after just a few laps.
also, I DEFINITELY understand the argument now of if a SV650 is a good first bike. It was completely manageable even with the aftermarket sprocket and light enough where I feel comfortable, BUT.... I am almost 34 and think I am super responsible and even I was feeling the 21 year old me coming out after a few laps and had to reel it back and remind myself that I am brand new to this and don't want to squid across the street on day one. Just a half inch of throttle in second gear is more acceleration than I have ever felt in a car and the fact that there is still like 80% more throttle and 4k rps above what I was doing kinda terrified me and tempted me at the same time. I think if I got this bike when I was 21, I would already be in a tree. 33 year old boring me was even struggling to keep my testosterone in check hahahaha.
This is already an addiction though. I came inside because my arms are tired (I know I am probably using them too much to support myself and should hug the tank more to prevent that), but I already wanna go back out. my wife is gonna hate me when I am out taking 2 hour pointless drives every day hahahaha.
Haha got the bug
Really impressive for a first day. You clearly have a knack for riding.
experience - some people may have 10 years experience and some people may have 1 yr of experience repeated 10 times
Nobody riding a motorcycle frequently for 10 years has only 1 year of experience unless they are driving the same abandoned highway in Southern California every day.
It only need 1 month in the street of S.E.A. to be atleast not being a beginer
@@scrateshooter where the hell are the 'abandoned' highways in SoCal? 😂
Yammie please can you do a video for parents of young squidlets (17-19) that want to get into riding but their parents are skeptical. Just like some facts about risks and other beginner stuff etc... Thanks! Yours, the young squid Sam
Hello Sammie Nood
As a old squid...I'd recommend getting them to learn the art of 4 wheeler driving for 25 years...Prior to any 2 wheeler action! 🤪
This is the route I went down & now at 42...Considered a responsibile adult on my lil 125cc!!! 😂🤣😂
In my experience, if you live with your parents, you might as well forget it. But if you’re really brazen, take a safety course, get your license, save up and buy a used bike. They MIGHT not make you sell it. It’s nearly impossible to convince your parents that getting a bike is a good idea.
@@AirwaveInvader I'm getting a yzf-r125 and my parents are fine with it lol (I'm 17 btw)
@@AirwaveInvader bitch if you're 18 years old they can't tell you what to do, y'all gotta stand up for this shit
It’s your favorite uncle yammie pube. BUSA boi himself has blessed us with another video and I have stopped my day to hear papa yam answer questions
LEARN IN THE DIRT!! imo thats the best way to learn if you've never ridden a motorcycle. trust me falling in dirt and grass in field hurts alot less than on pavement. dirt bikes are lighter, cheaper (buy and fix), and not as fast. you can learn braking, clutching, gearing, cornering, everything. you can even go out right after it rains, and learn how react and handle a bike when the rear tire breaks loose. I promise if you know how to tear up a a wet hay field or go skipping through corn field rows wide open on a dirt bike, you're already a better rider than most of the riders on the street. I learned to ride dirt bikes when I was little and got bigger ones as I grew, I never touched a street bike until 2 years ago when I bought my friends older cbr600 when he got a new one. this was the first street bike I ever rode and spent about a month learning the bike. mostly just cornering, dirt bike you kick your heel into the dirt and pivot the bike around your leg where on a street bike you lean. I talked my friend whose been riding street bikes for 5+ years into going to track with me where I cooked his lap time by over 10 seconds.
I took the MSF course at harley and i had a blast! After not riding anything let alone a bicycle in 12+ years, It was a smart move taking the course and getting my confidence back. I would highly suggest that to any new rider, or like me have a little bit of experience but its been awhile. Worth it!
Best advice for any rider but especially beginners, is go get more training.. learning on your own is fine and everything but it can be so much better and you’ll learn quicker with some good instruction.
Also it prevents you embedding bad habits in your riding.
Honestly “how to apply brakes smoothly” never really crossed my mind as a beginner rider, but I’m so glad I found this simple information
Yammie, you are the future of our sport. So grateful young people like you are out there leading the way. Great job young man ! I love your videos .
Finally got my bike license a couple of days ago, life’s good!
The physics are: Gyroscopic precession. When a force us applied to a rotating object the maximum effect will be felt 90° later in the plane of rotation. Riding upright, turn bars to the right, the front of the tire goes right, the rear goes left. The maximum force will be 90° later, at top and bottom of wheel, pushing wheel over to the left causing the motorcycle to lean left. That's counter steering.
“No fastest lap on your local street”
*laughs in initial d*
For learning when to shift I recommend playing a racing game and getting used to hearing the engine and not looking at the RPM. That's what I did and it worked flawlessly and I have never been able to drive a manual before then.
Damn I actually recommend this

Have had my R3 for a little more than a week, 850 miles on it so far, 1st oil change complete and have not stalled at all, but have dropped my bike once ): but still not to bad so far, all thanks to you buddy, Thanks.
yam we need an isle of man tt video expeditiously
You mean isle of squid? 🦑
I’ve asked so many times please don’t do this to me my homework schedule is ruined
When you're so bad at productivity you need a homework schedule but still manage to fuck up :D
Ik that feeling, I'm 3 years late on my masters xD
Sk0lzkiy yayyyyyy
“I drop bike all the time.” - thanks for this 😜 Now I feel just fine
Never dropped mine (almost did ) 😶 watch me drop it today
Don't need "big".
300 - 500 is just fine.
All the speed, all the fun
Learn and keep.
I agree, I drive a 900 but started with a 500 hd. Nice to learn on and then upgrade once you feel comfortable.
More videos like this please 🙏🏽. I love interactions like this. It really shows how invested you are into your audience🙌🏻👑❤️
Jesus that Daytona looks incredible with the fairings!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been riding for 12 years and still learned something. Great advice to keep working on building your skill. Only wish I had a track closer to me. Love love your channel!
Very helpful video...you’re the first person I’ve heard mention that “overblipping” over “underblipping” detail when rev matching. Thanks for all your videos man. They’re great!
The best tip ever given to me was from you Yammie to look ahead thank you for that it made me better and more confident rider especially on corners it works like magic. You probably get that a lot but you are the best youtuber out there. Keep it up 🖖
I’m excited to see the svartpilen content. I’m taking the course in a couple of weeks and am most likely going to be getting the svartpilen as my first bike. :)
This information is amazingly useful and exceptionally well-explained. You are so knowledgeable! Thank you.
Great advice. Especially the pillion bit, always get your pillion to jump off if you're not confident getting out of, or into a parking spot, or moving into position to take off, it's just safer for both of you and your bike.
Thank you papa yam. I needed a good heartfelt talk. Can't wait to start my 2nd season here in WI in another month or so.
Me and my brother have only just begun the motorcycle journey and I love it and we are already looking to start the track next year.
Yam. These are good. I’m not a beginner, but i like how well you answer these with zero pretension. Solid.
When I first dropped my Scooter, I was doing a U-turn the opposite way to what I was taught as to get onto the pavement and took it a little too sharp. I got home thinking my dad was gonna kill me because I had bought it the day before as an ex-demo so it only had about 100 miles on the clock. First thing he did was laugh, second thing he did was say “if you haven’t dropped a bike, you aren’t a real biker”. In sixish months of riding I haven’t dropped it since, but I have dropped her in a ditch doing a U-turn on a tight road, broken the gear shifter on my cruiser causing me to ride in first gear home, broken the gear shifter and had to push the bike up a steep hill to the nearest car park , fallen off of my dad’s Divvy in an accidental pillion power wheelie as well as accidentally caused a 3 bike domino effect in the garage. Whoops! At least I know how to not massively break myself when something happens on the bike. The more unique mistakes you make, the more you learn what not to do.
Yammie has great insight on the group ride subject.
I’m about half way through, but I have to make sure to comment because as a complete beginner (literally only 6 hours on a bike, desperately needing to get close to matching 3 1/2 decades of four wheeled experience) this is super informative, helpful and confidence inspiring. Thank you!
Been watching a tonne of your videos. I bought a used 2016 R3 after taking a brand new mt03 for a test ride and not liking how it belted me around at highway speed here in New Zealand. Which first off I needed a learner motorcycle license. But your videos have been awesome to watch over the past few months and I’m now officially a Baby Yam.
Nice upload, had my 125 ninja (uk) just over a week and as a 38yrs old mum that has waited years for this, I’m loving this journey. Will take my DAS next year as we are now heading into winter. Don’t want to be on the L plates forever but happy taking my sweet time getting the skills.
Good stuff Yammie. I am an experienced rider and would have benefitted from content like this when I was a noob. Of course the internet and TH-cam did not exist back then :)
Great video. As a lifetime Ryder I found your advice spot-on. Best how-to video I've seen
Another great video with tons of great info. With regards to 2-up and slow speed maneuvers, I’ve been watching some really helpful videos from Jerry Palladiino. He covers slow maneuvers almost exclusively. Has helped me out a bunch as Yam has. In fact I’m taking Jerry’s course in July. Always want to get better!
While watching this I signed up for classes to help get my license and u have helped me in every way and in one month I’ll have my ninja 650 2021 thank u for all that You’ve done
papa yams: talks about rev matching when downshifting
me: just slaps down a gear at 0 throttle and hopes for the best
I learned how to ride over the last few days. I purchased a 1985 yamah virago 1000 from an impound yard, it hadn't ran in 20 years. I can drive stick, and I've rode banshee's before. But this was my first two wheeled experience. And I gotta say it's extremely satisfying, just going around the neighborhood at 25 mph. The bike does alot of the work, it was insanely intuitive leaning into a curve. The transmission is stupidly gratifying, being able to just click through the gears is bliss.
Now, I am not telling anyone to go get a 1000 cc bike and figure it out. But so far, it's working out for me
Great upload, really informative. Answers to some questions I was just to dumb or shy to ask!? More of this content plz.
Just bought my first bike!!
Nice be safe man
Congrats 🙌🏼
Congrats dude! what did you get?
Awesome
Yamaha Vstar 650
Started watching this channel 2 years ago. Finally got my MSF waiver. Scheduling a permit test in this day and age is a nightmare. I am so excited to enter the motorcycle world.
You're Becoming a Well Informed and Capable TH-camr. Yammie,,And Obviously your Riding Skills have Greatly improved Due to Track Riding..Nice Bikes Too..
my local track is the Nürburgring its so much fun watching the people who thing they can ride or drive like the pros when they open the track to the public.
Been watching your channel for a while and bought a rebel 500 to start out on. Thanks for the advice man!
Brand new rider, have bike, still need license. Been watching you for years. Thanks for all your fun and knowledge.
Perfect timing! I just bought my first bike, Triumph Street Twin! I originally went out to buy a Z650 but somehow ended up with a Street Twin..couldn't be more excited though!
The question @ 9:12 about downshifting. You forgot to talk about knowing the max speed of each gear. Having the knowledge of the max speed of each gear. Go out and find out how fast you can go in each gear and make a mental note of it so when you need to down shift and you're going 45 you know you shouldn't go past said gear. That how i learned i can go down to 1st IF I rev match while doing 60mph.
There is always something new to learn. Today I put on a headlamp and examined the internals of the frame and discovered a pretty intense spider web just behind the engine in a nook on the frame. Crazy! And I ride it every week!
Really cool and informative video ,lots of great info here 👍 😀
Thanks for answering my question Papa Yam, you are the BEST
Thanks
I will be a new rider soon
Need all the instruction I can get
Throttle matching via blips is a more advanced technique maybe reserved for those above the title of noob.. so I'd advise the clutch lever as a scalpel, rather than a switch.. if you're losing traction on down shifts the best advice I'd give the noob, is to release the clutch lever slower. Ie, be the the slipper clutch.. this allows the engine to slow gradually and meet up with the wheel speed and not break traction.
We slip the clutch to accelerate, so it's perfectly acceptable to slip the clutch on deceleration all the same..
Good advise, but it's perfectly possible to blip and downshift without using the clutch at all. Not 2nd to 1st obviously, but all other gears I do it all the time on my SV650S.
Throttle blip isn’t an advanced technique. Slipping the clutch going down isn’t advised
The advice I got which came into play more than once is: When dealing with large animals Brake, If you can't stop, avoid but if you aren't sure if you can avoid stay straight and Brake until just before impact brace and hope for the best. You don't want to hit with your handlebars cocked. I've killed a Deer and bumped a couple of dogs at low speed (no injuries).Never fell.
Thank you. You give a amoeba newbie a lot to think about.
I have been watching your content for a bit and now have my first bike!
You should do more of these. Love the content. I’m having trouble deciding when I should use my rear brake. A lot of youtubers I watch don’t even touch the rear brake but idk if that’s how I should learn.
Uh rear brake is great but treat it as something you use to make finer adjustments, and at slower speed its great if you are turning. Anyone who "does not touch" the rear brake have no idea what they are doing. Its not your primary brake, but you need to use it in all aspects of riding - i wont get into its use in trail braking etc, but even going very fast into corners (even at the track) the rear brake is used - but very moderately. Practice and use both your brakes ;)
I agree with Sunde and will add that it help greatly in slow parking lot maneuvers. They didn't teach that little nugget in the beginner course when I took it.
The rear brake actually helps your control and balance while turning I mostly use it when I'm turning into a parking lot or I'll use it lightly when I need to turn fast
I always miss the "submit your questions" stuff. Great insight, regardless!
One of my most embarrassing moments. I finally decided to go to the bike night. One of the local shops invites me to park next to their primo bikes. I put my stand down about 80% rather than 100% by accident. The bike slowy inched forward and I fell over in slow motion in front of 100s of people and my buddies. Was actually thankful my buddies were there. They quickly picked the bike and me up lol. I was up quicker than I went down. Bike friends are the best!!!
Regarding the "how much hp" question, I think our German "stepped license system" is a pretty good rule of thumb for that...
At 16 years, you can start with 125cc up to 15hp (0.1 hp/kg ratio)... then with 18 you can enter "the big ones" which are restricted to 48hp (0.2 hp/kg)
and after a couple years in the 48hp class you can get the open license and ride what you want... So I´d say you were pretty spot on with your 50hp recommendation :)
"see this photo here that i did at my last racing weekend." WHERE IS IT YAMMIE? WHERE IS THE PHOTO?!
Only thing that was little difficult for me at the beginning was rev matching (while i was practising it), if i didnt concentrate on it, i would somethimes blip throttle between 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th instead 3rd to 2nd etc...luckilly i dont do that anymore :'D
Bro I know this is a year old but I definitely feel you on the semi-trucks thing. Had an FZ6 fazer for a couple years and never got over it, have a monster now and still a little sketched about them sometimes.
Great vid for my birthday
You are the motorcycle content I consume and crave. We street shinobi watch from the shadows, concealing our presence but see all. Ps. 08 ninja 250 noob
Sooo you're not actually a yanmie 'noob ' anymore?
I know, right???
"Yammie Noob", pfft... more like a Ducati Illuminati with his fancy bikes and the answers to all of life's questions 😛
@@blessedbethecurse yer i know. Used to be all Groms and Ninja 250s wtf happened?
@Reithierion thank you. I’ve been riding 23 years now, and I still wouldn’t present myself to anyone as an “experienced” rider. Just sounds douchey.
Been riding since second grade
Ahh yes still miss my 50cc 2t
Edit and my 110cc quad
"thought some dude was behind me it was crazy'' has me dying bro thanks for the informative video
For the Breaking, tip for understanding: Your front suspension have to be compressed from the preload from braking and more weight on the wheel=more grip=you can pull harder (Progressive braking!)
And Downshifting Usefull for a car too (i mean rewmatched downshift)
16:29 In regards to covering the clutch/brake, I never cover my brake while riding but I have a loose enough grip on the throttle to where I can grab it quickly and controlled if needed, but I ALWAYS cover the clutch which was taught in my MSF course and I didnt know why at first. Now I have muscle memory to work the clutch my hand is already on and downshift in an emergency so my conscious brain can focus on how much brake I need to grab.
I've been slowly catching up on all your videos, and I'm realizing how much goes into it...but also how my dad who has been riding longer than I've been alive, has less confidence in himself and his bike than I do, as a total beginner. (He refuses to go on the highway, takes surface streets to his office and all, or takes his truck for everything further than the grocery store)
I've been waiting the whole video for the phone to fall. Lucky Yammie delivered 🤘
This video was super useful
I want that Street Triple you have there! :P
Started with a vento 250 and hopefully come out with a z900rs this week 😊
For those on a shoestring budget the Caberg Duke 2 is a good helmet. It’s a full-face flip up helmet and has a 5 Sharp rating (uk)/ ECE 22.05. Cost wise it’s about £110.
lol I giggled like a little girl when you answered my question hahah, thanks for the tips papa yam
although I must say that you can actually enter the track here in arg in a shirt and pants... D:
My Father had a 1950 Harley 61 cu. inch (1000 cc) Police bike and he would take me for rides when I was 4 years old and from that I was a motorcycle guy from then on . After that I was allways borrowing bikes from every one I met who had one . at seven years old I became the mechanic I am today . I was so little in those days and cars were high off the ground and i could put a starter on a car with out a jack ! well because I could fix motorcycles I got to test drive them . The Honda 50 cc had just came out and I got to ride lots of them ! starting with Honda 50s Suzuki 80s Honda 90s triumph 200 cub the Honda dream and the other 305 s ( street and scramblers) finally got the Yamaha twins which was finally fast enough !! Chasing speed was an obsession ! The progression was gradual and I rode alot and aggressively ! Raced a yamaha 250 for about 5 years ! Got a job test driving New Nortons and Moto Guzzi's ! I just gave away My Honda 350 and sold my 1982 Yamaha Seca 750 and have just now Inherited a Kawasaki 1000 cc Chips Bike ( California Highway Patrol bike , it still has its siren and blue rotating Beacon ! Thank you for your shows !
Great video
Great video!
WTF is a slipper clutch...Is a question I've been meaning to ask...So thanks! 👍
While approaching a Mini roundabout, I thought I was in 3rd gear on my lil baby Yam MT-125 & dropped to 2nd to go straight across it when my back wheel locked up & started to skid on me & turns out I was in 2nd gear to begin with...So actually dropped to 1st at around 20mph!!! 😂
Quick clutch snatch saved me thankfully...Oh & only riding for 2 weeks now on my CBT here in Scotland! 👍☔🙂
my first bike was a 2002 gsxr 600 did really well on it considering its a supersport. then my brother who thinks he knows everything took it out and dropped it. sold it now hopefully getting my supermoto in a couple days.
So much Truth in this video. Don't treat motorcycle journey as a race. Just enjoy the ride!
This channel helps a lot, makes the noob medicine go down easier. Best of all, it's rider truths. except for the busa stuff lol
yo yamm good vid
If I were stopping at light, I would bring it to Neutral. I feel holding the clutch is unnecessary stress on the clutch.
Your track bike is Effin beautiful dude
Yeah boi ! Nice one Pappa yam!
But engine braking varies and managing that in addition to front and rear brake modulation can be alot for beginners....Practice practice
I know that most people won't agree with me on this but it has help me a ton on understanding driving, riding, and just walking. It's balance control, you won't believe how many people don't practice this and improve their balance control in their life. Hey you should do ride stimulators where are actually on a motorcycle to control and play the simulator(s)
It's great for practice riding without being outside.
Can you more maintenance and reliability related videos on the new 2020 Svartpile 401?
“Why does my bike feel heavy at slow speeds?” Gyroscopic forces... yes! 100%. Though part of that answer might be steering head angle.... The “chopper” like forward ness of the front tire will feel really heavy at slow speeds (specially in slow turns) vs the upright stance of a sport bike.... suggestion; try different frames with different “geometry”... with in your means, of course....
great content and advice. Thanks Yammie.
front breaking slipping varies on the tyre condition, the road surface and the hand pressure you apply, it is not static, you need loads of practice, but please try learning in low speeds, full geared, near home or hospital :)
