Last thing. Practice counter steering. Push with the right hand to go right and the same with left. Worjs at low speed but is tye only way to steer above 15mph.
You’ve got the bike I’m gonna be getting soon, same deal. Won’t be able to take my msf course for a few months so I’m gonna be riding it without the course for a while and it’s encouraging to see somebody getting more comfortable with their bike even without the course
Just a tip. Don't use front break at slo speeds or coming to a complete stop. If your front wheel is not straight while using front break, the bike wants to fall.
lol, what??????? Panic breaking is an issue, not breaking into corners or at slow speed.... back break has no use on the street while you're moving, use it to stop rolling on a hill at a stop light if you want to give your hand a rest, that's about it.
He's right. You have no business touching the front under 20kmph. The front is for slowing down. If you're already slow, then it'll put you down on the ground. If you don't believe, then pump some front brake the next time you're doing a U-turn and see
@@HeldIntegralYeah, don't break abruptly, but i always use both brakes and finish with my front and put my right foot on the ground and have my left on the shiftpedal. But hey, where i live we have specialist training before we hit the road..
One of most dangerous kind of streets for a motorcycle is a road that has a center turning lane that's used by both sides of the traffic, do urself a favor, and on those roads go way under the speed limit and if you see a car about to get into the center lane, just slow way down and stop if you have to
One thing I suggest you stop doing is hovering over the clutch lever and front brake 100% of the time. You should always have a good grip of the bike. It’s best to hover over them only when you’re anticipating something. In a parking lot practice sudden stops using your clutch lever, front brake and rear brake together. There’s plenty of good videos you can watch. Good job overall for not taking an MSF course.
Great tips, man. Iam not from the US, i can not, for the life of me, understand this type of riding without any form of training. I got the same tips you gave in the course we need to take, it brings the basic skill and confidence you need to ride properly.
@@TstatusTV that’s pretty cool man, much respect to you. I’ll hopefully be getting a motorcycle pretty soon and look forward to enjoying riding like you!
I've been grilled that covering your brakes is a big no-no. I've heard it makes your hand position incorrect since reaching for the brake should naturally roll off the throttle
@@TVGuapoArcade Okay but.... why? I described the reasoning I've heard as to why being able to cover the front brake is a bad idea. Just saying the opposite isn't very compelling
@@Tomshwom Time is the reason why. If you can’t throttle control using the two finger cover, you need more practice. If the brake is ready to be squeezed immediately, and not after you’ve let go of the throttle, it’ll make a big difference in response time.
@@TVGuapoArcade nope..... never cover brakes or clutch. Pulling clutch voids any engine breaking you would have had, don't pull it in to stop fast. Covering the brake means you can pull the brake without rolling off throttle, also bad.... also, having brake available for panic situations leads to panic breaking. If levers are adjusted correct, you shouldn't be able to cover brake while on throttle, if you can, you'll be pulling rather than squeezing if you do roll off throttle. Cover levers on track or in any riding course and you'll get yelled at 100% for those reasons, by all means, ride your ride, but don't encourage others to pick up your bad habits.
@@TVGuapoArcade not to mention, proper throttle grip is twisting with thumb and first 2 fingers, if you'r covering with those fingers, you arent holding the throttle properly and are sacrificing throttle smoothness......
