Master The Art Of Cornering In 5 Easy Steps! 

MotoJitsu.com for all my stuff :)

“Hope is not a technique.”

Just think about the tremendous riding skill the man has which allows him to ride at such a pace while at the same time talking so comfortably and delivering all this information fluently and consecutively. Thank you Fast Eddie for what you are doing for us! This is by far the best quick summary on all aspects cornering!

Another great educational video for free. What more could we ask for? Thanks man

You're churning out these videos like an absolute beast. I really appreciate it! Thank you from the UK

‘Hope is not a technique’ 😅 Briljant!

Perhaps your best lesson yet. Thanks Brother!

"End up on the outside" that makes more sense now on how to find my line and take my turn, thank you MJ

Awesome, just bought my first bike and this stuff is what I needed to know

Had this epic gentleman for my MSF instructor in cali uh 2017 i think haha rock on!

Thank you for confirming the correct way to look through a corner! When I went to Motorcycle Safety Training course, they really really emphasized keeping your head up and looking as far ahead as you can so that you can adapt to the geometry of the corner, but I also want to know exactly what my tires are about to encounter, so I have been doing it exactly like you explained about scanning back and forth thinking that I wasn’t doing it exactly right, but feeling safer and more prepared for anything I might encounter. Another excellent instruction video MJ!

Love riding twisty roads on my z900rs. But I learned how to ride on a dirtbike. When road riding I don't really think about or analyze what's happening. I just twist the throttle, listen to the motor, and feel the wind surround me. Keep the shiny side up!

Thanks for these videos very helpful for me as a new rider

Great video and best summary you have done to date. You did clean up the definition of maintenance throttle but "crack open the throttle" gets used a lot and its not a great example of open the throttle to maintain consistent speed. Minor nitpick but defining the outer/inner/outer would be great (yes they keep changing based on left/right corner but it could be confusing to a new rider.)

Listen because this guy Will save your life! Thank You!

Passed my Total Control Motorcycle class. Watching your videos and practicing practicing practicing ahead of time really helped me, so thank you!!

Great video - - Thank you to Greg!!

Your videos are great and very helpful. I’ve been practicing a lot of drills and my slow speed turning is improving everyday. Thank you!

I´m so grateful that you´re doing this videos, I learn so much from you that not even 5% of the information I didn´t hear from my instructor. Keep up good work and save.

Absolutely fantastic instruction. Thanks for sharing!

Your videos are absolutely fantastic. Thanks for making us all better, safer riders!

I like very much today's session. So worth it. I'll be practicing soon. Thank you mate.

So important steps! Thanks 👍🎯

Thank you very much for all your efforts to help riders to improve their ride! Love & respect from Turkiye

Awesome knowledge in such a short video! Just about to go for a bike ride but first saw the entire video and now going to implement this. Thankyou Motojitsu 🙏 This means a Lot 🙏

Thank You So much......Respect from the UK❤

Always on point and love to watch your content 😊

thank you man. im learning alot.

Great information!! Thank you brother!

Great video as always. You have a real gift for practical explanation. Can’t wait to get my bike and start practicing.

Yep, counter steering is a fun thing to work with... I do both depending on the day/corner/misc.

Thankyou so much coach!

This completely transformed my riding and confidence after a mere 10 mins practicing this. Thanks a bunch bro! 🎉

Biggest thing I see help with my cornering is practice. Applying these lessons to the real world is the only way.

I am currently riding in Upstate NY where the main road surfaces are less familiar to me and often in bad repair with patches, splits, bumps, ridges, etc., sometimes all in the same stretch of roadway and across the entire lane (or two), and I find myself riding with my eyes on the road just in front of me more of the time. The more I travel these roads, the more awareness I have of specific features and, eventually, I am able to adjust my speed, lean, and lane position to avoid them or pass safely over them without dramatic changes in speed. And too, at least initially, this means traveling much slower than marked speeds through corners, putting me at greater risk because of the speed of tailing traffic. I pull over safely and often to allow traffic to pass and for my own sanity, and I do my best to avoid these roads and ride the less-traveled roads which I enjoy more for all of the aforementioned reasons anyway. Too, sometimes it is necessary to use main roads to connect to other back roads. I know roads in CA are typically pretty well maintained (though, WTF with the metal patch plates)… Any advice for cornering on roads in such disrepair and with such uneven surfaces other than ‘go slow and don’t die’?

It took me a while to figure out where you were at until you passed the Thousand Trails Pio Pico sign. 8:50 Looks like a great stretch of road to use for this example.

Thank you master! ❤

Thanks for the vids, you were born a teacher.

Very useful knowledge😎

As a new and very excited rider I’m loving these videos. Such great information both spoken and shown. You are my go to for seeing how it’s done properly and safely. Thanks from England.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you very much.

The first time I seen one of your videos on pulling right to go left and pulling left to go right I thought you were absolutely crazy and I've been riding since I was 13 years old then I realize I've been doing it for years it's just muscle memory don't even think about it LOL and now I'm a senior citizen and I still love to ride

Very educational

Great video! I have been watching for a few years now, & I believe this is one of your best! Maybe it might be your best. Thank you C J

Thanks heaps 💙🏍️

Excellent video! Thanks, man. 🙏🏼

Your wisdom and teaching has made me a better, safer, and more confident rider. I can't thank you enough for making such wonderful content.

Top! 👌

Non rider here, this is one of if not the best tutorial videos I’ve ever seen, explained everything so well whilst performing it, earned a sub 👍🏻

Nice

I finally understood what the "slowest point of the curve" data is for.

Love from india :)

How would you change this to work with the tight, blind corners we have in North Carolina?

can you please do a video on throttle hand placement? i find myself switching to an angular grip "ala screwdriver" when entering into the corner , but mainly doing regular "straight" hand style when going into it. is this normal? do you switch your grip up mid corner to maintain maintenance throttle while counter steering? maybe do a camera just on your hand while on a sport bike / naked bike

brother, thanks for the informative video. i just have a question: how do you protect yourself from vehicles that overshoot at high speeds in twisties? may be unheard of where you're from, but it's insanely common where i'm from. and yes, i mean head-on collisions in curves. im not trying to be the "correct" one in the road. just wanna ride, have fun, and survive + hate it when my bike gets scratches, im sure you know the feeling XD will really appreciate any input. thanks again.

Gem!

I agree whith your first point. Ifomation get as mutch as you can. The 2nd point (the theres no down side to starting on the out side of a corner) in the uk 80% of drivers cant take a right corner on there side of the road. (Cuting the wight line) Sow if your on the right going into a left there is very mutch is a risk. Ok back to information. But (Not there is no down side full stop) as you sead. The out in out yes it can work but shouldent be thort of as a apex. No shuch thing on a public road. Just the line your takeing that is safes for you at the time. Theres a loads of ways to take a singel corner. It might be out out out it might be in in in or out in in or in out out. I do aggen the less lean angel the more stable. point 3 yup agree entyerly you tell it what you whant to do. Point 4 you dont need to be looking at speedo for your speed. The limet point is your consern not the numbers on dassh. Or how fast you took it the last time. Ageen ifomation. 5th point yup ageen entyerly. I ageer get out and practice. In my opinion rideing is all about try it if you like keep it in your box of trikes. If you dont throw it away. Maybe even come back later in life. If it works for you then do it. Keep lerning. I do like your vidios. You will be helping loads of people. Yes i know opinions are like a$$ holes every ones got one. This is mine. Would love thorts on my thorts....

Hey! Great video! Just wanted to ask about throttle, while going in the corner can i keep it zero? Is it safe? O i still should keep a bit of it? Thanks man

Anyone can advertise and comment on parts, upgrades, and accessories. I appreciate the skills on the road.applications here. You can’t find that everywhere.

Thank you for demonstrating in real life.

I wish I could pay you to be my live instructor for a month :).

Around the 4:40 mark. Could you explain if you use your foot pegs to help you steer. Another valuable way to get input to your motorcycle is to present pressure to the corresponding left or right footpeg. I trained doing this, in a safe environment, where you would steer the motorcycle, without your hands on the bars, to control the direction of the bike. PS. I personally would take issue with your statement that there are no down sides to being against the centre line entering a bend. As I ride here in the UK there are many issues with doing that. In general yes, you want to get as much view as you can entering the bend. However, in the UK these bends can be very sharp, or going over blind rises and often fast moving. If a vehicle is coming in the opposite direction and has crossed the centre line, then you could have a head on collision. Or even wing mirrors on a seven ton truck could take you out. In which case I would argue that there 'are' downsides that you must take into account. The other point I noticed, is that I have never heard you talk about the 'Vanishing Point'. The point of the road where the left and right edges of the road come together on a bend. If the vanishing point is moving away from you, to the left or right, that tells you the road is curving more away from you (left or right), then you should slow down. If it is moving towards the centre, then the road is straightening up and you can apply more throttle. Are you aware of this concept? As it is certainly part of UK advanced riding doctrine.

Great video - thanks Can this be improved? I’m only asking because I’m lazy LOL The first point about where to look….can you add (after the fact) where you are looking ? Is that possible? Keep up the good work mate

But, start to accelerate slowly (not full throttle) at decreasing lean angle helps the bike straiten up. Off cause counter steering doing whole work, but with little bit acceleration it's feel more natural and easy. I'm missing something?

Don’t let the bike be in charge of you, you be in charge of it! 💎

Ive been scanning half the speed you were showing. Thanks, Ill move my eyes faster.

Do you have a video on low speed steering?

Hello friend. May I ask you a favor pls? would you please add greek subtitles to your videos? So I will be able to understand 100% everything you say. Your video' s are very interesting! Thank you!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

1st 👊🏻✊🏻

Hi MotoJitsu. I'm not even a rookie. Moto school courses will start soon. i have 1 questions: 1. What if you're up hill, and you have a hair pin(180 ) right hand curve with 25% degrees ramp(25 meters up, at 100 meters drive)? (That one, is harder also for car drivers)

If I am cranked over for Creg ny Ba on my featherbed, top revs in third, am I really going to be able to review the five steps?

I felt like you repeating yourself a lot but was pretty informative

🤔 straight lining makes sense on track when you want to be as quick as possible, but on twisties it kinda takes away the whole point of curvy riding, but I get the point why it's done.

How do you not get bent out of shape when your looking through a corner and a car comes from the other lane and blocks that line of sight?

I've been driving for a few weeks and I noticed I have a tendency to use my rear brakes when slowing down for a turn (along with engine braking if need be). I often times don't use my front brakes unless I am coming to a stop or really need to slow down. I feel like my front breaks are over kill for the amount of braking I often need. Being a beginner I have no clue if this is a good thing to do or not. Perhaps someone could enlighten me?

Slow is Smooth” Smooth is Fast

Isn’t the middle of the lane the most dangerous portion of the lane to ride? That is, that’s where grease and dirt from vehicles accumulates so isn’t that the slickest most dangerous place to ride?

Does ur bike show Km or miles ?

I’m a puller

Last time I came this early I got dumped 😂

I don't want to sound stupid,but are these techniques still applicable to a bagger vs a sports bike?

if you didn't learn anything from watching a MotoJitsu video..... watch it again

after watching this a few times and paying attention to my counter steering, I initially push the direction I intend to go then push and pull through the corner. Seems to work for me?. Thank You for your instruction!. 😎🇬🇧🍣🍻🪂
