Been riding for years here in So Cal , Gorman, jawbone , local spots etc. and I find this very informative and helpful. It’s been 4 years since I’ve been on trails where are u riding in this video?
That’s awesome! I’m so glad you found this video helpful!
This video was filmed at my house! I’ve been working on building a track, but for now I have some trails that run around the property!
It helped me a lot! I just go a dirt bike for the first time. Thanks!
Your welcome I am so glad this helped you!
Are you sure that I don’t need to use the clutch to downshift? I’m getting my first trail dirt bike soon but not using the clutch to downshift sounds scary lol
I'm 25 and I have not had a chance to be around dirt bikes as a kid and now I'm having to learn how to ride solely off TH-cam videos and your videos definitely teach you the things you need to know
Thank you so much! That’s awesome! I am so glad you have found dirt bike riding, and are getting more invested in becoming a better rider! I have a full playlist for dirt bike beginners I really think would help you as well!

Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate you!
Been riding off and on for years, finally got a bike of my own back in the garage again. Always good to get back to the basics to shake the dust off! Thanks for the good advice!
I just bought my first bike today (CRF250L), watched this video, and went and rode around my block about 5 times haha. Only got up to third gear but this video helped so much in my confidence trying to ride for the first time! Thanks so much! The getting into neutral was the most important lesson for me 🙏
I’m so glad to here this helped you gain confidence, and learn in a safe way! Keep having fun!
I'm about to get a bike soon for my first time, my friends will help me how to ride it, would you reccomend a crf250
Yes depending on your size that’s a great bike to start on, just remember to start out slow! Have fun dude!

@@RadAdventureDude so once I am rolling just grab clutch kick up to second and let clutch go fast or slow and then gas her
I'm saving up for my first ever dirt bike and most my worries were about not understanding the clutch and gears. This amazingly cleared it up and really it's not unlike a manual car. So that helps. Thankyou and I'll be back to look at more vids. (pssstt, i checked out the clutch video when he mentioned it, totally worth it. So if you are reading this and missed it. Go take a peek)
I glad that your getting a dirt bike they are so much fun, exponentially becoming more fun the more comfortable you get! Always feel free to ask any questions you have! I am always here to help!

Thank you so much!
Haha yeah winter riding can get interesting! Here in Colorado the ground is all white too. It is close to time to go to the desert and get back on the bike!
Always feel free to ask any questions you may have!
@@RadAdventureDude You are cool man! I got a 140cc Tao Motors dirtbike and I've been learning the clutch on it! This video really helped me
The biggest thing for me was getting it into that first gear without stalling and I've been working on not feathering the clutch as much and it's been going good! Idk if its working so well because my back tire is spinning out when I let the clutch out but haven't stalled on takeoff in awhile! I watched your other vid too it helped new a lot!
That’s great! All it takes is time, and it will become very natural. If your wheel is spinning out you could possibly use less throttle when releasing the clutch, or release the clutch a little slower!
I am so stoked you are getting better and finding these videos useful! Keep up the great work!
@@RadAdventureDude I'm going through all the gears now. I couldn't thank you more
I already know how to ride a dirtbike Ive been riding for 3 years and I just watched the video to support the Chanel
I really appreciate that! Thanks dude!
Excellent video! When I go to stop do I pull the clutch and brake handle?
Thank you so much! Yes pull in the clutch when coming to a stop so you do not stall the bike, and use the brakes as needed to come to a complete stop!
This helped me alot. When my friends tell me how to shift i tell them to watch this vid
THX :)
Wow you have no clue how happy that made me!

thats a great idea Rajiv! Thank you for the advice!
What was it before?
Thanks it helped so much
I am so glad this helped! Feel free to ask any other questions you may have!
Good content man I’m getting my dirtbike in 4 days this will definitely help 👍🏽
Your first bike? What did you get?
@@alantaylor6691 I’ve ridden all my life. When I was 3 I started ona crf50. After this comment I ended up with a cr85r, vforce 3, fmf fatty and fmf shorty, hot rods crank, wiseco top end, fresh cylinder. However I was watching this video as I was confused as how to use a clutch.
@@490Adrian Since you were 3?! Lucky you! How old are you now?
I'm 44 and total noob to motorbikes. Just learnt to use a clutch on my neighbour's 80 cc 2-stroke dirt bike the other day. But I want a dirt bike of my own!
I've recently moved to a 150 acre property so I have all the dirt riding land I could want right at my front door. I could ride everyday if I had a bike of my own.
@@alantaylor6691 12yo at the moment. If I were you I’d get a 230 or a new Honda 250 quad, not too much guts but definitely some bottom end. The Honda 250 quads have a odd technology where there is a clutch but you also can shift without it and no harm, not like shifting without the clutch is bad if you power shift but it’s a good beginner bike. Another thing to look at is a 400ex it’s a trail quad but it’s got some guts to make you happy, just be careful the first couple rides, after you’re adapted. Just make sure to keep up on maintenance and have a tool box filled with goodies.
@@490Adrian A quad would be fun, thanks for the suggestions I'll keep them in mind.
How did you get on with learning to use the clutch on your motorbike since your original comment? Got the hang of it? I've had a couple of rides with the clutch on my neighbour's 80 cc but I still have to think about what I'm doing and have stalled a couple of times coming out of bogs. Still haven't 100% got the feel of the throttle/clutch yet.
Thanks for the tips very helpful
I am so glad this helped you! Can I help you in any other areas of your dirt bike riding?
Thanks for the video man. Learning for first time at 28. When you say release the gas, is that fully or just a bit?
Oh awesome, there is no better time to learn!
So yes when shifting gears let off the throttle completely, then pull the clutch in and shift your gears!
What kind of dirt bike do you have?
Thank you your videos helped me ride a bike
That’s awesome I am so glad to help! Keep it up!
Thanks mate, super helpful
That’s awesome I’m always glad to help!
Im going to get my first bike soon it is the honda crf 125 i just went to my cycle center today to try it and i fit perfectly on it but ima get it for Christmas
And im really exited to learn how to shift! Im sure this video will help
That’s awesome that’s a great bike to start on! You should also check out my playlist for beginner dirt bike riders, there will be some great tips you could learn, before you even get your bike!
This video was helpful I was looking for tips because i rode quads but im getting into dirtbikes i started on a 50cc which was okay and now im on a kx 250 and I was not expecting it to be so difficult lol i thought the little 50cc was kinda easy but the 250 is alot of power
Oh yeah! The 250 has way more power, and a lot more going on with the clutch and gears! Keep it up it will get much easier over time! Please Subscribe, and always feel free to ask questions!

Thanks when I went out the first time on my motorcycle and when I got near a hill to climb I always shifted to first fast and not going in order, but this helps and let me practice.

Thanks i was just wondering if you let the cluth out too quick or too slow what happens?
If you let your clutch out too fast, without the proper amount of throttle on you will stall the bike. Then you can’t really let the clutch out too slow! Hope this helps!

Just bought my first dirtbike yesterday 2024 ttr230 still getting use to clutch. Taking off from first gear and slowing down for corners ate where im struggling and takes me a long time to find neutral
I really appreciate this video I am going to rent my dirt bike at a rental place so this was very helpful thank you.
I’m always glad to help!
as a Road motorcycle racer we use clutch only when shifting down and no clutch when shifting up. I was surprised when you said the opposite is true for dirt biking.
I always suggest using the clutch when you can, for the transmission of the bike. When you are racing and trying to get faster it can save a little time working through the gears without the clutch! Just make sure to let the throttle off so it doesn’t add additional stress to the motor!
I’m with you dude……clutch down and no clutch up.
Using the clutch when shifting up or down it is good to use the clutch, and let off the throttle every time we shift gears!
Thanks for watching!
Not using clutch downshifting bent my shifter pin I would suggest if you’re not being competitive, always use your clutch
Absolutely! I always suggest that too, just to save the dirt bikes transmission! The only times I shift without clutch is when I’m racing, and really trying to dive into a corner as fast as possible!
Also making sure the throttle is off, and rpms are not too high will also help save the motor!
What bike?
Thanks for helping me
Your so welcome, I’m always glad to help! Also ask any other questions you may have!

Dude that’s so awesome! That’s a great bike! I’m glad your getting comfortable on your bike! Always feel free to ask any questions you have!
Thank you so much this helped after my big crash!
I was in 4th gear, a leech was on my boots i shook it off but i accidentally hit the shifter and it went to 1st then tossed me and broke my leg! But now I am more aware
I am so glad this helped! I don’t like to hear you went through a big crash, but we all do! The most important part is you learn from your mistakes, and you get back up on the dirt bike!
Hope you the best recovery!
Lol! The leech isn't in your skin yet. But I understand the feeling. Having seen a leech that has hairy appearance will make vomit.
How do you go from 4th to 1st 😂
It happens to the best of us!
Do have any recommendations on a first bike? My friend is telling me to get a 125 2 stroke since I’m not used to riding dirt bikes but I’m kind’ve a heavy set guy around 250LB and 5’9 so I was considering getting a 250 2 stroke. Great video btw 👍
A 125 2 stroke or 250 4 stroke, is always a good place to start!
The 250 2 stroke you could be a good bike if you want to progress your riding, just know it will have a lot more acceleration and speed when you first start riding it!
Say I'm just going in a straight line with no turns. Once I get to 4th gear can I just stay on 4th gear and keep going? Because I don't want to go down a gear and slow down. What would I do in this situation?
Thanks so much for asking! You can stay in forth gear, and even shift into fifth gear (if you have one) for traveling in a straight line. No need to worry about shifting down until you want to slow down to stop or to make a corner!
Once you are ready to turn the bike you will probably want to slow down, so you can use the gears and breaks together to get the bike down to a speed you can turn the bike. If you stay in a high gear, as you make a turn, the throttle will be unresponsive once you get into the corner. This is why it is good to shift down when coming into sharper corners. This way when you want to accelerate, you have more torque to get the bike accelerating faster, and this will also save you from stalling the bike!

Really helped with the downshift
I am so glad that this helped you with your gear shifting! What kind of bike do you ride?
Ok so I’m trying to figure out how to ride a dirt bike. So when you want to come to a complete stop and your at the highest gear would you have to downshift and if so then how.
Yes you need to shift down when coming to a stop so you do not stall to motorcycle, and this could cause you to fall as your stopping. Pull in the clutch use the gear shifter and shift down. Go gear by gear, so you do not get too much torque from the bike, or get to high in the rpms. once in 1st or second gear you can hold the clutch and come to a complete stop!

That’s awesome, I’m so glad to hear that!
I'm getting my first dual-sport bike in a couple of weeks and I'm looking for all kinds of info. I'll mainly be riding it for short trips around town and to work. When I drove a stick-shift car (100 years ago) I always just popped it into neutral when I was coming to a stop instead of down-shifting. It just seemed easier. I'm assuming this would be OK on a bike as well?
That’s awesome I’m glad you’re getting a new bike!
Yes you can definitely put the dirt bike in neutral when coming to a stop, but you may find it harder than a stick shift to just pop into neutral.
Also on a dirt bike as you just pull in the clutch you can bring the dirt bike to the stop while not worrying about stalling the dirt bike!
I always enjoy being able to help so ask any questions you have!
