How to operate the clutch and throttle for beginners on a Kawasaki Vulcan 650 s. This will be similar to other motorcycles as well, though different models and makes may have slightly different setups and feel to them.

This is a video you didnt think you needed until you watched it. As an older guy ( 60 ) looking to get my first bike i would have thought all clutches were thw same.

49(almost) 50 here. I just got a 2019 Vulcan S used. When you mentioned the dent in your tank, I totally relate. I dumped my bike in the parking lot of the dealer when I picked it up. I was so embarrased. This video was very helpful! Thank you!

@bikerbeliever8169 2 месяца назад

No problem it is a great bike especially as a first bike that you won't get tired of.

@jordanleach1747 8 месяцев назад

Thank you brother, I will say its easier knowing how to drive a manual car is definitely helpful! I appreciate the detail you went through and releasing the clutch, I recently tried riding my sisters bike and she kind forgot to tell me that I didn't have to account for the weight of the bike like you do with a car. So next I try riding, I will heed your advice and remember what you said. Thank you and God bless, and Be SAFE my brother!

As a new guy learning to not stall every time I go out, some of the stuff you talk about I have witnessed my self. I thought the jerkiness in the lower gears was me just being bad with throttle control(as I think that’s why I stall at take off) good video and thank you!!

@bikerbeliever8169 10 месяцев назад

No problem man yes there's definitely a jerkiness there to the throttle we just have to learn to adapt to.

@smilinkyle 3 года назад

Coming from a 2012 Yamaha FJR1300 I'm not used to the amount of play in the throttle on my 2021 Vulcan S. Thanks for shedding some light on what to look for and do.

no problem any time

@zachrat9083 Год назад

I love this bike so much. I put some saddle bags & a cs racing exhaust on it. It is my designated harley killer 🤣. Couldn’t have chosen a better first bike. Even now with more experience, it is even more fun lol Edit: You should do a rev matching video on it. It was a little harder for me when I was learning with the quiet stock exhaust.

@bikerbeliever8169 Год назад

This bike is hard to rev match on compared to my other bikes. I'm not 100% sure the cause. Either the delayed throttle or that I feel like I have to pull the throttle back more on this bike than on my other bikes for the same amount of revs/blip. On my other bikes I can literally just blip the throttle exactly like it sounds like it should be a blip. On vulcan I have to hold on to throttle longer and hold or and twist little further so not much of a blip but more of a prolonged blip or twist of the throttle. Also it could be that on the vulcan the throttle is heavier the twisting motion. I still do it normal riding bit when getting on it more I struggle getting good accurate rev match on vulcan. Lol sorry that's my long technical analysis if it made any sense. My Guzzi and Husky blip are easy and match revs just right and smooth.

@zachrat9083 Год назад

@@bikerbeliever8169 I always arrived at a similar conclusion. It just needs to be blipped a bit harder and it does fine. I’ve also held the throttle longer & that honestly sounds fine too, but may put to much wear on the clutch not sure. It drove me crazy when I was learning how because I knew I was doing it right, but I had to be so dramatic & intense with it to make it sound how others did it. Getting a different exhaust helped me a ton hearing it a bit better.

@bikerbeliever8169 Год назад

@@zachrat9083 yes it can be done, I think the husqvarna 701 blips so easy it kinda spoiled me so when I go back to ride Vulcan I have to reset myself some.

Good video, good info! I'm a new rider, just got a '22 Vulcan S a few weeks ago. I have trying to be smoother on take-offs (from a stop), and have been wondering about the "jerky" throttle. Wondered if it was me or just how the bike is. This vid really helped! Thanks!

@roguevisual2245 Год назад

Im a new rider and I just got the vulcan 650. When you do you sharp turns in a low gear, do you normally use the clutch and the throttle or do you also use the rear break to adjust your speed? Ive been trying a few different ways since its a little jumpy in 1/2nd gear. I didnt have the problem on the bike I took my MSF class with.

@bikerbeliever8169 Год назад

I do both at different times. Either technique can work, if the bike is new though it won't be as smooth and will buck more easily until got few thousand miles on it. So using the clutch is good for smoothing out the throttle at low speeds/rpms.

@Lupotkd Год назад

The Vulcan S 650 is my first bike. First learning. Specs say to shift into 2nd around 9mph, 3rd around 15mph, and you are in 6th by 34mph. When I tell riders of other bikes that, they are surprised. I find I need to shift to 2nd before I complete my turns and I don’t gun it. What are your thoughts? Do you shift mid turn? Are you in 6th by 35mph? Thanks for feedback.

@bikerbeliever8169 Год назад

I think I'm not in 6th til like 55mph. I do go to second to corner because it's smoother than being in first gear on the vulcan. The throttle is snatchier that many bikes. When just cruising on the vulcan you can figure 10mph for each gear, give or take, if you want it to be smooth rise with less engine bucking. The motor gets way smoother over time though and will do better in lower revs with less bucking.

@slowlylightning7634 Месяц назад

My Vulcan S is from 2019 and i have the Number from the Gears in my Display integrated, from wich year is yours ?

@bikerbeliever8169 Месяц назад

Ours was a 2016 I believe. They added the gear display in 2017 I think.

@slowlylightning7634 Месяц назад

@@bikerbeliever8169 oh okay, maybe it can be so.

@21bum 2 года назад

At what speed limit do you decide to start shifting to different gears?

@bikerbeliever8169 2 года назад

I dont really use a speed limit, I just go by where the motor is happiest when riding. For cruising the vulcan is good between 4k and 6k rpm, but pulls easily all the way up past 9k rpm. If I had to guess that is going to be 10 to 15 mph per gear, but thats not what I would go by. If your a new rider get a feel for the bike and you notice it will shutter and shake when them revs start dropping meaning you need to go down a gear and obviously you can tell when the motor is really revving high, cause it'll be singing really loud you know you are probably way to high in the rev range for normal cruising.

@saltysoup4634 Год назад

I noticed this bike came with an adjustable clutch and brake lever system. What number are you using for yours?

@bikerbeliever8169 Год назад

I dont know this is whatever my wife had it set on which is probably 1 or 2 for smaller hand tighter grip pull. These levers are aftermarket though not standard.

That clutch is hard for me such a grabby clutch grabs so hard on mine I’ve driven manual cars/trucks think I’m going to practice in a parking lot

@bikerbeliever8169 Год назад

Nothing wrong with practice. The friction zone on lot of modern bikes/cars has gotten really small to where it is either on or off, just matter of being as smooth as you can coming off the clutch allowing bike to start rolling and giving just enough throttle to get you going before coming fully off the clutch. It takes practice, but everybody has been there and everybody has had to learn and it is different operating it with your hand vs a pedal in car. Just different feeling even though it does the same thing.

The bike has an engine. The words engine and motor are not interchangeable. Engines are completely different than motors. Please learn the difference.
