I've watched plenty of "how to ride a motorcycle for beginners" videos but nothing as detailed and thoroughly explained as this. Welp! Getting my R15 now. Thank you Sir Dan!
Glad it was helpful!
@@DanDanTheFireman waited a whole year to reply💀
@@tunak4941 loll
You still alive?
The way you do your explanation is the best very calm very educated bro you the best you love the way you when step by step explaining abrithing and when to all the detail thank you 🙏🏽 Dan your are the best blessing brother
I appreciate that! I have updated alot of this in our newest course. You might want to check it out rider.tips/MTC-Membership
I will thank you 🙏🏽 brother stay safe out there iam saving to get bike 🏍 can wait you give me a lot confidence have a bless day
Just bought my first bike yesterday! Honda cbr 250r. Wish me luck guys.. I've been binge watching Dans videos, super helpfull and encouraging
Just passed my MSF!I'm so excited to get started
Dan, I'm a "returning" biker, after 38 years without a motorcycle. I'm seeing your videos and learning (or just remembering) how to ride.
Wonderful advice, as always. Thank you very much. I'm from São Paulo, Brazil.
1:clutch in
2: full throttle
3: dump clutch
4: die
5: profit
I just want to say I admire your teaching skills. I used to ride horses/ teach, and from a teaching perspective you break it down absolutely perfectly!
I've recently been getting into bikes, and watching a lot of videos to learn how to operate. Appreciate your videos.
You and yammie noob are the guys to watch 👌.
I just started getting into motorcycles and your videos have not only helped me to understand how to ride but the full knowledge on riding. The things you train for and practice on, understanding the bike, etc. I’m so thankful to have these videos. I am hoping to get my bike here in a month or so! I really want a crotch rocket but my dad says it’s probably better to start on a grom. 💕
Hey Dan, thank you for the videos and commitment! I’ve seen other videos that have helped me learn but you explain it thoroughly and easily, it makes sense. Keep up the hard work, really appreciate it!
In my opinion this was the most helpful video as a beginner rider on the entire platform. I passed my CBT course (UK) on an automatic, however I decided to purchase a manual transmission motorcycle. At 18 this was my first time ever on the public roads and I quickly became aware of my lack of comfortability with the controls and was looking for exercises like this to return confidence in my riding. Thanks a ton Dan, really appreciate your dedication to riding and helping others🤝🙏🏼
Dude your awesome, in the process of buying a motorcycle and have been following your videos for quite some time. I loved how patient you were with Nikki! Keep up the good work! Great channel. Definitely will be following you a lot more.
Great video and perfect for people starting from a zero baseline. In the following videos when you get to shifting it might be a good idea to settle some car guy’s fears over slipping the clutch. Some other training videos I’ve seen equate bike shifting with manual transmission car shifting and slipping the clutch is one of those costly no-nos we’re taught to avoid. Of course the power levels are vastly different and designed to perform in different ways but that might be something to consider
I just finished and passed my MSF course yesterday, I wish I could have seen this before my course! Especially the way you grip the throttle in a right turn. I struggled a lot with that, and this probably would have made a big difference. Thanks for the great content!
I'm looking into getting my first motorcycle and start riding. This is really informative and tells me the controls as well as where they are and what output to expect. Definitely going to follow this new video series
Thank you man, you really are the best.
I’m French and I’m so glad that I got to learn English to be able to understand all of that because I haven’t been able to find any equivalent of you in French and I don’t think I would’ve been able to find someone as dedicated as you anyway.
I pretty much know everything about the way gears are working since I drive a manual car but the way you analyse every functions/situations that are bike related helps a lot for the bike license I’m planning to get soon.
You learn us to be careful but you also prevent a lot of bad things to happen, you’re making my journey to the license way more secure.
Thanks a lot 😁
(Hope i didn’t make any mistake)
Thank you Dan for your perfect hard work, we all appreciate your effort and your way is the best way ever👌🙏
This was so precise and methodological. Beginner rider who was aware of these fundamentals but yet taking new learnings from this. Subscribed. Thank you.
You were meant to do this. You make the best instructional videos out there for newbies....Bravo! Very well done in layman's terms and super informative.
This is the perfect way to learn riding. Great explanation and tips. A very helpful and important video for road riding.
Excellent Video and best explanation. Thank you!!
This is a GREAT series. Keep it going🙌🏾
Thank you, Dan, for all this awesome new rider education content.
Your content is just phenomenal! Subbed!
Im most likely getting my first bike this week, I wanna thank you so much for this video! I have watched a bunch of videos and tried to find one that metion each and every detail they can think of, cause I like to know exactly what everything is and does before I try just going all in. I must say I am very happy this video popped up, it is exactly what I was looking for!
Just brought my first bike 2 days ago. Suzuki bandit. Love your teachings/videos. God Bless
I've recently started learning about how to ride a motorcycle and a series like this is perfect. I've been looking for someone to explain it from the bare beginning in absolute detail and this video did just that. Thank you so much, Dan.
Hey Dan, I just wanted to say I appreciate your videos. I just took the MSF, and your videos really helped me prepare, and gave me an upper hand in the class environment. Now I get to start the grooling process of looking for a bike lol.
Thank you so much for being so thorough and not making me feel stupid!
This is awesome. Thanks man
Wow Dan its like you felt all the new R riders and gxsr riders out there. Appreciate you
I love seeing tutorials like this but I sincerely wish people would take the endorsement class. That sh*t saved my life.
Good lessons bro. Thanks
Just got a motorcycle. I plan on practicing these steps this weekend. I am excited!
It’s helping me a lot brother..👍❤️👍❤️👍👍👍👍
One Of The Best "Tutorial" Videos On How To Ride A Bike For Beginners! 🤘🖤🔥
Cant wait to get my License, I bought my bike a few months back been watching ever since to learn to be a smart rider. Thanks to DDFM crew. My bike is a CB750C 1980
As a future bike enthusiast and someone who's looking to pick up a motorcycle this video was extremely useful and informative for me I really appreciate the effort you put into this video
Thank you, ManManTheFireDan
@Dan Dan thank you for your time and sharing all your videos I learned a lot God bless you sir
I did everything watched till the end and I love ur vids
I have that same bike! Purchased it a few months ago. It's a good little starter bike.
Thank you for this vid, I'm still new to it all!
thank you for such helpful videos for all beginners and experienced riders ;)
I take my msf in 48 days and I can't wait! That was the soonest one I was able to book but I'm gonna use all this time to watch as much videos as I can to help me. Thank you!
This is amazing because I'm about to take the basic riders course to get my motorcycle endorsement in about a month or so, and the Honda cbr300r is the motorcycle I'm going to try to get once I finish the class so this has been EXTREMELY helpful ! thank you!
Hi man, as a new rider I just wanted to thank you for this video. It was very helpfull. I'm happy beacuse I just bought this bike (my first one) yesterday. Thanks again :D
Hey Dan, just wanted to thank you for this video. I failed on my CBT twice as I have absolutely zero experience on a bike and I'm not the fast learner type of rider.
I have decided to go ahead and buy a 125 to practice as I have a huge private parking space just behind my house before taking the course for a third time and waste even more money. This video will definitely be helpful. Can't wait to get the bike
very detailed video. great work
This is a great series idea, I actually ride a 562 cc scooter but still try to pick whatever relevant tips for my own riding. Can't wait for the parking lot drills!
Very good video for beginners 👍
Thank sir, very clear and excellent explanation
More clear than that can’t be
Apreciated
excellent technique from 0 to 5 for the clutch, thank you teacher!
I watched this even though i've ridden for a few years. It reminded me how intimidating I thought all this was to me when I first started into motorcycling. If your watching this and your new to riding, just know in fairly short order all this will come as second nature.
I am about to start studing for the a2 test (European test for bikes 35 kw max) and the timing of this is insane
Best of luck, friend. May you do well.
Great video, Dan. Doing a basics video is proof you are a teacher. I watch these videos to stay fresh. Thanks
You got this Sergio, no sweat buddy.
Ty guys I'll update when I get my license
@Blitzen Good advice.
I'm 16 and hoping to get a bike within the next few years and this video has helped a lot. Definetly earned a sub from me.
In the netherlands we are taught 1 extra step after dismounting: pulling on the far handlebar to get the suspension in its extended state
This is the best "how to ride a motorcycle for beginners" video. Well done Dan!
Awesome video for someone who is starting and making his first moves on the motorcycle :)
Thanks man, helped me start on my turbo BUUSSA
I’m watching this as a 16 year old with no drivers license whatsoever. I guess this just makes me even more excited to be able to ride when i’m 18+
My favorite, absolute favorite thing about "how to ride" videos is when they teach it like you havent been a bike, but they are in an open ass parking lot with plenty of room
I learned on a somewhat busy neighborhood road because I CANT GET TO THE PARKING LOT. Yea its a bit harder taking your time, taking it slow when mfers driving by you, dog walkers staring at you, neighbors annoyed by you with police on dial. just a pet peeve of mine, assume i magically pushed my bike 2 miles to the nearest parking lot.
Awesome tutorial my brother, I never driven a bike however,I feel a lot better about trying one….💯👍🏿
I’m teaching my girlfriend and trying to make videos for her and other riders. I never thought to have her turn with the bike on. A great idea the next time I let her practice! Your videos are great
Dude this by far one of the best “how to ride” vids. I have a question , have you ever trained any to ride that only had vision in one eye?
Great vid. I love the transition music
THIS explanation is littarly the best. ur littarly teaching a cbt test. but for a superbike/sportsbike
great video thank you :)
Great stuff,,,I’m getting back into riding after being out of it for 15 years. I noticed that things have changed drastically in that time,,,,I’m finding a lot of bikers have a problem with excess speeding,,,makes me kind of nervous. I’m sure I can overcome that from my past experience,,,I really enjoy your videos. Never to late to learn procedures,,,some in the past I never thought about,,,,I’m basically a casual rider,,,,I don’t and never did anything to cause me or anybody any harm,,,,thanks. 🇺🇸👈
Excellent video ;)
Damn you're really good at teaching, I'm definitely satisfied with this thanks for this🤙🏽🔥
Still rip my cbr 300r.. 1st bike and its been over 2 yrs n still love this bike!!
Excellent video with excellent explanations. A small comment - some manufacturers state that the key should be used to turn the engine (and bike) off instead of using the kill switch to turn the engine off. Most say either is correct and then using the kill switch is the better as you show. But the owner manual for my new bike states that the kill switch should not be use to turn the engine off except in an emergency. So you may want to suggest that the owner manual be consulted to see if it specifies a preferred way.
Know how to ride. Had my first bad crash last summer. Next week will be my first ride since the crash. Watching this video to see if I can learn anything new. Safe Riding To ALL!
I’ve been riding for around 8 months now but I’ve never rode a sport bike and I want one so this was useful
thanx for the videos. I been saying I will get my learner's licence to ride soon. and that's 2 years ago. your videos have ignited my call to adventure..
Great to hear!
im friends with loads of bikers i got quite lucky starting out the most experienced riders would stay behind me making sure cars dont suddenly over take me will be a rider up ahead then so i got someone i can follow. must of been quite a sight to see them guys with there club patches with there 600cc mean looking guys who are actually the nicest people you would ever meet me on my 125 stalling all over the place going very very slow being so so nervous.
Thank u for this I’m learning alone
Thanks 🫶🏿🫶🏿🫵🏿🫡
You shouldn’t number the position on the friction zone, you will confuse new riders. The reason being is because you can adjust the lever on any motorcycle and the position of the friction zone will change. It will either be further back or much much closer to the handle bar. “Rider preference”
Put some luggage on the back seat and will you still be able to throw a leg over flat footed? I find it easier to use your foot pegs to mount the bike. Standing on the kickstand side foot peg then throwing your leg over is a much easier way to mount a motorcycle. The other thing is get in the habit of using the steering lock and removing the key when leaving the bike. Some would even suggest using a brake lock depending on where you leave the bike.
Thank you very much for information are you in Nashville Tn.
"The Friction Zone" a foreign concept for the average joe :D
Hi Dan! Great video as always, were very lucky to have someone like you teaching us all this useful and important information!
Just one question: When coming to a stop, do I brake first and then clutch or clutch first and then brake? Thanks!
Thought I'd share a tidbit from my MSF instructors...once the kickstand is down and you have dismounted the bike, pull back on the handlebars to further stabilize the bike. This helps to settle the kickstand more securely on softer or looser terrain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I was told to do anyways.
This man is so good at tutoring how to ride a motorcycle
I didn't expect anything, but it was very interesting ✌
The only thing missing is the chapters
Good video but we were taught to so a head check whenever you get in or off the bike. Here if you don't do the head checks on mount and dismount it's a X for each and you can blow your passing of the licence...
Instead of turning off the bike via key or the engine cutoff switch, I like to put my kickstand down instead so I don't forget to do so when I dismount. (Only works when in gear. Engine will not turn off in neutral).
Hello brother, been watching your channel for quite a while. Going to buy myself a 600 when I turn 18. I am so excited, it needs to be registered as A2 if your familiar with it. So I don't drive to death. I guess it's your mindset not your bike that keeps you safe. Anyways love your videos! :D
More than anything in this vid idk if you said it yourself but i believe you would agree would be to take the msf training course. You get hands on help from instructors who are very helpful and they walk you through all this very progressively. This vid is awesome but it cant beat hands on experience and def worth the money for new riders. And in my class personally i was one of the few new riders and there were far more experienced riders coming back for a refresh or whatever the case.
Hey Dan, as always great job! Where can I find the rest of this series you did with the CBR300? I am looking specifically for the video where you practiced upshifting and downshifting down a side street. Can you please help me find it? Thanks!
Hi Dan, another great video :)
When mounting the bike, try to rotate the handlebars so the wheel is pointing to the opposite side of the kick stand (not inside). Much easier, especially on wider handlebars, to pull the front brake lever. Also safer if people want to put in the kick stand before seating on (smaller bikes and feet on the ground), the bike will not fall in. Just options...
Learning on my Ducati monster 821
Its awesome seeing the beard progression from this to now.
Man this video was super helpful I appreciate you doing this video!! I really wish I could of seen this when you made it so I had a chance to win a bike!!!! Getting my endorsement next month, but bills keep coming before a personal vehicle so who knows when I can actually afford a bike😭😭 so excited to get one and get depressed every time I see one, but dads come after baby and momma.. again tho thank you for making this video!
Thats gonna be my first motorcicle dame color everything..god will
Dan , I love your videos. But one of the biggest concerns as a beginner rider for me is stopping on hills (without staling, or being intimidated by the steep incline). I watched your older video about how to stop on hills, but Can you make a new video soon about how to address that and what to do in those situations ? I think it would help all of us new riders. Thanks dan.
I can add it in to the series
Do you mean starting on hills?
Always stop with 1st gear engaged, use your left foot when you stop and keep your right on the back brake. And that's it. If you stall it it won't roll back as long as you release the clutch.
Yeah, i'm still not comfortable on inclines, I try to be a little careful and flintstone it
Land with your left leg.
Keep your right leg on brake.
Downshift to 1st gear.
Find the friction zone and keep accelerating slowly.
Release the break.
You should also pratice this whole thing by using front bakes only.
No you're important. God bless you !!
The 'Kill Switch' was designed only to be used in an emergency or to shut off the bike quickly, it shouldn't be used every time you stop the bike as this can cause the switch to wear out faster and it may stick or fail in the off position.
I've used it 100s of times with many bikes at the range. Never had an issue. So I'll mention what I know.
while I don't disagree that it will wear the switch, tbh I haven't seen one fail yet. And it it fails after a long while so be it. I also like having the switch in the off position when parked just for the the fact that it takes an extra step to turn back on and stops someone that don't know how bikes work from turning it on quickly.
Lol ive been riding for 4 years but dan is just so pretty and a great instructor 😍
