3 things you never wanna do on a motorcycle (Never do this on a motorcycle)Tips on preventing motorcycle crashes and what NOT to do! Motorcycle safety tips #motorcycletips #motorcyclecrash #tips
@Alex Abd I didn’t say anything about what CC range to start in, all I said is don’t underestimate the power of the bike. I have friends who started on 1000cc, Ik it’s possible to start on higher cc levels, I just think it’s smart that no matter what experience level your at you don’t understand the power of a bike.
You most certainly can brake in a corner. You need to do it smoothly though. If you just grab the brake in a panic, yes you are going down. If you use progressive pressure to avoid the shock, you can actually brake pretty hard in a corner.
That's something you develop a feeling for over time. And since he's specifically talking about beginners, it's good to make this a habit in the long run
I guess if the front is already applied then trailing through the turn and slowly letting off at the apex would work bc the front is already dipped. I think he means don’t grab the front break if you’re already going into the turn without first having tension on the front.
Just finished beginner training course and got my self a ninja 300 I went from learning 0 about motorcycles to confidently driving one .. around my block 😂so much fun tho !!
Welcome to the fold my friend. Those 300s have some kick for small bikes. They are fun too. I kinda miss mine now, but I do love my new Suzuki SV650. Anyway glad to hear you to the safety course, I am assuming it was the MSF? Anyway keep building your confidence, practice your low speed technique in an empty parking lot, get permission from the owner. I've been riding for bike most my life, and I still practice whenever there's a large empty area of a parking lot. Work on swerving(You may want to get some crash bars or sliders...or both. Your bike will thank you.) Also try to ignore that inner squid voice, we all have one. Lol Sorry for the long post of advice you didn't ask for...I just get excited for new riders. But be smart, be safe, and have fun! ✌️
@@nullshock3381 i appreciate it !! I come from the car community and its so different everyone there with their fragile egos and bickering with each other compared to here everyone seems so friendly and has been!! Ya it was the MSF course.
I use my front break and my front break alone while cornering. Just don’t grab the break. Progressive breaking is key on a motorcycle. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
3 things you never wanna do Get a gixxer Wear a nirvana shirt while on said gixxer Listen to his advice you can GENTLY use front brake while cornering it’s actually more dangerous to use rear brake than front just don’t grab the daylight out if it or at least stand the bike up first
Using the front brake around the corner requires muscle movement and discipline most veteran riders dont even have. Also how would you stand the bike up if your going through a corner?
As an ex Australian Superbike racer and still a road rider I agree with most of that apart from the use of the front brake when the bike is leaned over. Even heavy progressive braking when leaned won’t make the bike slide out as the forces will make the bike want to stand up and make you go straight. Which leads to why you trail brake into a corner as this also helps improve the level of grip the front tyre has available.
@@UnderqualifiedPilot seems like you are inexperienced then, or you dont ride at all. If you dont want it turning 190 degrees then dont slam the break, you ease into it.
First tip was actually really bad. You should be doing the exact opposite of what he said in his first tip. You SHOULD be gently squeezing on your front brake when enter turns. It’s called trail braking.
I hopped on a 600 a week after motorcycle class. It was December in NJ and I spent the greatest time of my riding life those first few months in the freezing cold. Also you can brake in a turn, just trade lean angle for brake power and vice versa.
1st pro tip it's true, even if you have cornering abs, doesn't matter, make good habits, and trust the ABS and the tech when you lost all of your resources. Ride safe
I heard a good quote from some other moto youtuber for beginner riders that went something like, "Don't rush things, make sure you get comfortable because you will have riding for the rest of your life."
One thing I will say even as a fairly new rider is that you CAN brake in a corner. You just HAVE to make sure you don't grab a handful of brake (front of rear. even with ABS, if it kicks in it can surprise you and cause the bike to become unstable) GENTLY apply 5% brake in a turn and SLOWLY increase it (progressive braking) 5..... 10....15....20.... 25... 35... 45.. 60.. 80.. 100. Beginners are told not to use the front brake in a turn because in a panicked state beginners will grab the brakes hard and wash out the front. if you slowly and gently apply the brake you can use them in a turn. Just be careful about it.
@@Chillsarahh If they're on roads it's paramount that you understand you can brake while leaning because the day will come when you need it could be day 2 could be day 200.
He didn't say "grab" the front brake, he said "squeeze " the front brake "and your going down". I was on an off ramp at about 35 MPH, leaned over and the car infrint of me suddenly slowed. I "squeezed " the front brake and slowed down with out issue.
Thank you for making this video man, 2 of my friends died a week apart from each other. One was going 80mph in a 30 zone, the other was on a bike he had no business being on. Hearing you put out good advice like this makes me believe you could be potentially saving a life.
The "buy a starter bike and then upgrade" spiel was old forever ago. Buy the bike you want NOW and learn how to use it. Its actually probably MORE dangerous to start on a 250 or a 400 and then upgrade to a guided missile liter bike with the unfounded confidence you'll invariably have based on something much less. 1. Get what you want. 2. Be careful and know your abilities. 3. Do stupid stuff AFTER you are capable of it. It isn't complicated.
I’m not bragging by any means but my first bike was a 2014 gixxer 1000. Spent many months debating on what to get. It just made sense bc this particular bike has A-B-C modes that allowed me to graduate up from C to A mode when I felt comfortable. This way I didn’t have to spend money on one bike then sell it just to get a faster bike (when I was ready). Perfect Bike!!
I started on a KZ900... and I'm still riding the same one 4 years later. I never get bored and I learned how to ride.. I control the throttle... RIDE FREE
Facts. I personally believe get the bike u want right away, just know what ur capable of, dont be an idiot, and keep practicing. If u get a 300 ur gonna want a bigger one almost as soon as u get the hang of it anyway.
Yeah the last one is true af.... i was sitting on a GSXR 750 K4 for like 30 seconds and i was like: Oh man dude my back hurts already... i dont think this bike fits me.... :D then i sit on a cbf 600 and was happy and still are. Cheers buddy from Germany, hope you gonna drive safe!
This is why I hate American rules. You can jump on a 1000 first bike and you don’t have to wear a helmet…. In Australia you need a LAMS approved bike for 4 years before even getting a 700cc non restricted bike.
Alright guys that’s the end of today’s video just want to say a huge thanks to my mom for letting me use the driveway and my brother for leaving his bike here today keep the rubber side up!😅
Please correct your infomation on front break techniques. You can squeeze the break through the corner and it'll be fine but slow and steady squeezing not jumpy and harsh. All that will happen is the front tires will be pushed into the road/corner but if you jump at it too hard your find the front end will jump out under you causing a low slide.
It all comes down to self discipline, yes you can squeeze the front brake while in a lean “trail breaking” it really helped me a lot riding in the twisties with not knowing what’s on the other side of that turn. Don’t grab that front break as it puts an abrupt motion with the bike suspension and contact with the road, I am a beginner on a liter bike I took it day by day getting to learn the bike and slowly this season and now I can ride confident with the big boys and ride your ride.
Also if starting out, or been riding for years, take the MSF course, I know it can be expensive in some states, mine thankfully is free(reserve seat for $20 that you will get back, unless you choose to donate.) It's a fun weekend, riding bikes, meet new ppl, and you will learn skills that every rider should have.
In Europe getting on a motorcycle requires a full seperate driving license: +- 20 hours of training with 2 seperate exams. One exam for riding technique (emergency braking, high/low speed swerve around obstacles, turning on the spot etc) and one exam for traffic participation where you'll drive through traffic with the examiner following close behind judging you on safety and following the rules. IMO it's crazy unsafe to let people get on the roads with anything less. And our respective countries' traffic accident statistics reflect that too. US has 16 deaths per 10,000 people while my country the Netherlands has 0,49 deaths per 10.000 people (49 deaths per 1,000,000 people).
@@ItsATrap614 That's why I always tell people to take the MSF course. I take it every year for fun, They have beginner and advanced rider courses, for Free in some states. It's cool you guys have a good system set in place. I wonder if I could pass the exams in your country...Can tourists take the exams?
Find the biggest open parking lot you can and practice like crazy. And when you're tired go practice some more. Hard braking, slow speed maneuvers, swerving, u turns, throttle control, etc. You'll progress way faster if you're actively doing drills instead of only commuting
@@EckRDeople only come off round bends because they grab the brakes l, you can use both brakes round a bend just find as long as when you first apply them it’s soft and smooth. This guy literally has no idea what he is talking about.
@@murlyn2 Your comment is emphasis " I do whatever the fuck I want and I don't care if I end up in the hospital or grave" 😉 Let me guess, you wear a short and T shirt and NO helmet on rides? 🤣
39 year old, GSX R 750, Ty for this channel. It lets everyone know we were all new. We gotta watch out for each other, he has helped me more times than I care to admit but I guess I did. As new if you don’t dump your bike I’m shocked. You gotta get used to you don’t have all the amenities a car has. How much you bringing is every thing safe like my iPhone rolling down the street as it was left in my pocket. Little things need to be taken care of but first day I had 2 people pull out in front of me. Don’t sit in blind spots and don’t be doing 150 for 2 miles please. Short bursts people 😊
@@soapdispenser9007 Boring, but there is a difference between a risk and a death wish. 😂 But yeah, if you really possess that much self control, good luck. I know for sure I don't! I would become a pavement smoothie within a week.
@@jackson01357 ay who says that’s a bad thing👀, I’m just kidding I’m confident that I can control myself but at the end of the day I’d rather be a road smoothie than live a long life taking shit from people I have no business worrying about. A terrible view to have in the sense of achievements but hey that’s just the way I see it😁🤝🏼
Telling people not to use the front brake in a corner guarantees that if they ever find themselves in a blind, decreasing radius corner they weren’t ready for, they’re going down. Absolutely horrible advice. 😂
