Its really cool to see how quick you are progressing! One tip, whenever you are approaching a stop sign or light, please downshift gradually as you approach instead of holding in the clutch and mashing down on the gears. The gradual downshifting will slow you down and leave you in the proper gear if you ever needed an escape path (car behind you isnt slowing down). It took me some time when I started but I promise it becomes second nature after only a week. Depending on your speed when downshifting, your rear tire have the chance of sliding, please also focus on learning when to down/upshift and the importance on revv-matching. Good luck to you! Its so much fun!
Hey how do you know when you are downshifting/rev matching correctly is there a particular sound I should listen for or is it just when the bike doesint jerk or lurch?
@CloudedThoughtz I was able to make it smooth by letting the clutch out slowly after going from 3rd to second while giving some light throttle until I felt it catch no jerking or lurch, is this what should be happening? Did i not blip the throttle enough? Is there a way i van enable it so that I don't have to let the clutch out slowly ?
great video man, never ridden before and really thinking about starting. enjoyed that you talked a little bit about the downshifts and stuff as you entered the corners. keep riding and enjoying and stay safe bro
I just bought a brand new R3 in May, probably around the same time as you because I have similar mileage. I love the bike and your videos, very relatable lol. Keep it up!
I swore my third gear was weird as well. It’s just harder than the rest. I make sure to give it a little more force too. You don’t need the clutch to shift up. Just let off the throttle and push up on the selector at the same time. It is easier from 3rd gear up. I don’t even use 1st gear anymore unless I’m in a parking lot or trying to go very slow.
Ay man. Love the videos you make me wanna get a motercycle.. One thing tho is be careful showing your street especially cuz you parking that thing outside idk ur area but just a warning
in my opinion too much money for an exhaust system for a beginner bike youre gonna be selling in a couple months to buy a bigger one, its subjective though.
Hello! I love your R3 and I wanted to ask if that paint job and rims are a stock option you could get or if you had it painted, just wondering because I’d love to pick one up for myself that looks like that!
While I agree the break in should be stock, if you’re putting a full system you’ll definitely need a tune due to the lean fuel mixture. Might as well go all out with performance mods and then tune once to be done with it. Love the R3 and just picked up the same colorway a few days ago myself
@@CloudedThoughtz I would take that cash for the exhaust and invest it in stuff you’d have for your riding career. Jacket, pants and shoes would be worthwhile if you don’t already have it. I’ve been riding for 8 years now, and I’ve never taken a tumble, street or track. I still dress for the party though, just in case I get invited to the dance.
That Grand Cherokee was being driven by a typical driver with poor lane-keeping skills...You need to expect this!!!! Correct lane positioning choices are your responsibility in curves on public streets. Bad drivers in cars are everywhere and you need to adapt your ride to this reality . This is a hard truth about riding a motorcycle on roads that you share with the unskilled general public.
