The FASTEST way to Learn Clutch Control on a Motorcycle (Feat. Kawasaki Ninja 125) 

Wow! This is the best lesson i have learnt today. I actually had no ideal it is possible to have the bike move on its own rev without adding power to it

I watched this BEFORE my basic course and it didnt hit me like a ton of bricks until AFTER I completed the course and rewatched your video. I can definitely recognize the mistakes I made now that wasn't addressed during my class. Thank you SO MUCH for your videos!!!

Just got home from doing a 1 hour session before doing my cbt on Friday. Never been on a motor bike so I'm completely green on this. Started me off on a push and go automatic which was fine but then went over to a manual and I really struggled with it. Could not get the concept of of applying throttle and finding the bite like he was showing me while maintaining the revs. Came home a little disheartened and looked around on you tube and found this. The way you just showed me just makes sense! Thankyou very much. Fingers now crossed for Frinday.

from the 20 plus videos i watched, no one has explained it as easy as you did. i actually didn't know that it was possible to even let go of the clutch with 0 throttle involved. thank you for this video king!

My instructor never explained it this easily, thank you so much.

Wow this is something new to me. I was taught to t release clutch and give gas . Neve3r thought releasing clutch with no gas will make bike move. Going to try to change my way of starting off the bike. Always was afraid when in first gear releasing clutch than giving gas bike would stall or take off too quickly. Bike stalls after moving jerks and I loose balance. Still riding started at 45 years now 77 years old.

Best version of the “clutch tutorial” so far 🙌🙌🙌

I got my first bike just last week and this video really helped me understand how to start moving faster. I've been stalling the bike a lot, but I'm much better now! Thanks a ton!

Thank you for this video! Took my CBT yesterday and wasnt allowed on the road because of my clutch control! This break down is such a huge help understanding how it works!

I had my first day of my msf course and have little to no experience with riding by myself. I struggled with the clutch and throttle today. Found this video so helpful I am going to use this to help me tomorrow thank you!!

I've been watching your videos for a while. My wife is just now learning how to ride. She has A21R3. I just shared this video with her. Your channel and moto jujitsu. I feel I'm going to be able to teach my wife the right way. Where she can enjoy it. Thank you for what you do. And the videos you've made in the time you've put in? Your information truly does help.

I don't know how to ride a motorcycle yet - but I understood this, crystal clear! Now all that's left is application, and maybe my future Rebel 500

I watched another video talking about the same thing years ago and never rode a bike before, after watching the video that day I was able to learn in 2 days and never stalled once since then 💯💯💯👌👌👌

Brilliant! I've been riding bikes for decades, and realise that I've been potentially frying clutches because I've been anxious about stalling - same on my car.

Wow! Just wow! Best video for learning the clutch. I just bought my bike yesterday, 14Jan. I will teach myself to ride it today. Great video! Kudos to Goblin RIDES.

The BEST & the MOST straight forward video I ever found ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love the video picking up my 125 for the first time tomorrow was nervous about clutch control was not shown just using the clutch on its own to get the bike moving Thankyou for the video very informative 👌

Good vid - way more and better info than my driving instructor ever gave me.

That was very helpful. I had a 250 Venom Ghost and now I just brought Kawasaki Vulcan S 650. I kept stalling at the corner has a slight hill. I kept getting nervous if I hit on the throttle I would take off way too fast but really help out a lot. Thanks.

Best explanation of clutch control I've seen. I'm sure this will help on my CBT next week. Thanks

Watched loads of vids this is the most helpful I’ve seen

Wow this really helped simplify things, I wish my instructor explained it this simply without all the complicated jargon

I am a beginner from Sri Lanka, Appreciate you instructions, Now I can learn on my own

Fabulous video, mate, so incredibly simplifying. Thanks. That's actually how my mother taught us to drive a manual transmission car, using the clutch only to get the car moving. It just didn't occur to me to do the same thing on a motorcycle.

Fantastic, this has been so helpful, thank you 🙂 100% what I needed to see to learn x

Thank you! This is the most helpful video I've watched so far.

Great tuition! I have just bought an AJS Cadwell 125. Got my CBT back in October 2022....did nothing for a year. Now that I have the bike, I have to learn all over again! You are of immense value to me at this stage. I will be 69 before the year is out, so I am no spring chicken. My kids think I am mad!

Terrific! Clean, clear, concise.

This is definitely 👍🏼 one of the best videos of clutch control I ever seen!!! Well done 👍🏼! Keep it up, great lesson & very educational.

Thanks man. Your explanations are much more practical.

Thank you that was the great lesson about mastering the clutch love your narration

This is what I've been worried about mostly, wow this has helped me alot thanks

This the best way i have learned to operate the clutch great video thanks!

Great video. When my boys were learning to drive I explained what a clutch does and showed them an exploded drawing of the clutch and transmission. The penny then dropped.

Currently doing my A2 license, I have to try this during the next lesson. Better input than the instructor:D

Thank you Goblin rider for your vlog tutorial about the clutch control it's a wonderful to learned some technic on motorcycle.know what I'm a tricycle driver here in the Philippines.i love watching your tutorial vlog so I can learn how to drive a single motor with safety precautions.thank alot goblin rider god bless.

Great video, explains clutch control perfectly. Good job.

great stuff you really simplified it compared to some chanels well done keep up the great content

This is miles helpful, I was taught none of this on my CBT, nearly crashed the bloody thing into the wall on my first ever go! 😂 I think this would have been alot easier

Very simple and easy teaching, Best learning!!

I decided to get on RU-vid and watch some videos on this because I got my first bike a few days ago and I've been struggling with getting clean launches. I've yet to stall it but I've been pulling off some small wheelies. I believe it is a result of giving it too much power and letting off the clutch a little too quickly. I did my CBT a few weeks ago and I was taught to give it some throttle and letting off the clutch. In theory it works because I didn't wheelie once during the CBT. We were told to give it some throttle as we release the clutch rather than slowly releasing the clutch and giving it some throttle. When it stops raining and isn't wet I'll go and practice this so I can do better. Just wanted to say that I appreciate the clear explanation and demo because I watched about six other videos before this and while they're not bad by any means they certainly weren't as clear as this video was. Cheers.

Thanks a lot I learnt something very important I have been struggling with friction zone

Thanks for the info man! Helps a lot!!

My first lesson on a bike was yesterday. My instructor told me to hold the revs at 3000 then release the clutch. He would tell me to give it more throttle so I did and Al while leaving the clutch slightly open. This prevented me from stalling (I only stalled once by releasing the clutch without using throttle).

Best lesson ever!!

Great video ! Best video I seen to get started

Hey Goblin. Good video, great advice. So much so, I wanted to go try this out on my bike. ;) At my tick over/idle speed of 1,100rpm, I could attain a top speed of 43mph before I felt I needed to change up to second gear. ^^ I wish I had a riding instructor as informative as you are, back in the day, I would have learned so much more. ;) Looking forward to seeing your tutorial on (right hand) shoulder checks and (left hand) Life savers.

This helped me big time

Great video mate well explained you gave great detail 👍👍

absolutely great video

Thank you for your excellent explanation, it was genuinely clicking in my ADHD brain. Before I was just kinda dumping the clutch and yanking the throttle hoping that it'll flow smoothly LOL. I tried your style of riding it on its own steam; I was AMAZED lol. That's something I didn't even know was possible! I just took my bike out on a ride and it's the smoothest ride I've had!

Cheers for this, I actually failed my cbt and thought I was being taught wrongful and you have just solidified my thoughts, I failed on clutch control and wasn't told half of the things you have explained ... thankyou.

This is the best!!! Thank you!!!

Woooo a big secret for new riders thanks 4 dis vedio.

Thank you, I learned a lot as a newbie 🔥

Great technique, thanks bro.

Thanks so much for this video I have been struggling so much with this and kept using throttle and I knew I was doing something wrong and it was so frustrating

I like your bike and I have enjoyed your video. thanks

Most helpful sir, Thank you.

Passed test first time with this thanks, I’ve been driving peds so I understand throttle if you think about it driving a bike is kinda easier or maybe I’m just crazy anyway thank you so much mate

Thank you this helps a lot.

Good info Thanks Man

Last time I drove a manual car was during my course just over 20 years ago. I just got into bikes now and back to using manual transmission. I did not know you can fully let off the clutch in first gear without any gas! Need to test this out when I get my bike in a couple days.

Great video very informative

Good video. Thanks

Thank you very much for this video.

Brilliant tutorial

This was sooooo helpful🥰😍

Great video, thank you

Amazing video easy to understand

I'm new to the channel...looking at getting my first road bike soon

very informative thank you

i did my brc and the instructor kept saying when the bike starts moving apply throttle and i think i stalled at least 8 times, i was getting so frustrated with myself for not understanding like everyone else was. watching your video I now understand i can take off first and apply throttle later

I love bikes and I’m thinking of starting to learn soon (I have no prior experience). This video is really reassuring, thank you.

very helpful .. cheers

Bought a MT07 and just learning to ride - this video was extremely helpful

Very informative I can't even count how many times I stalled. lol

Bro, thank you

very helpful mate

I trained on a 800cc Benelli and just didn’t get on with the clutch at all. I bought a ninja 600cc and i don’t have any issues with the clutch at all…. It’s an absolute dream starting off on it. Possibly the Benelli needed some work as I’m pretty sure if I tried pulling off just using clutch with no gas…. It’d stall before it could move

Nice! Very nice video!

Great job 👍

You made it very simple

I always have problems launching the bike quickly out of junctions or traffic as i'm still new. I always release the clutch way too quickly. My bike would jerk a lot and sometimes stall (which was very embarrassing lol. Thank you for this!

love the content

I find that you can literally get anything with an engine and a manual going without ever touching the throttle. When I first started learning to drive a car, on a manual duh, I already knew how it worked and all that but it was really hard to coordinate both your feet and everyone kept saying you can't get a car going just with the clutch. Well a few months after getting my license I started practicing going without touching the throttle cause I would still stall from time to time. And man, I easily learned how to do it, realized everyone was saying bs, and managed to refine my skill and I've never stalled any car since then. I still don't have a motorcycle license but I hope I'll get around to getting a2 this year. And when I do start going to lessons I'm gonna practice the clutch alone and if the instructor tells me to also use the throttle I'll just tell him a fat no.

Congratulations! That's a great inspiring video! Do you suggest starting with 125cc motorcycle, or 300/400cc, or, even, 600/700cc?

Why wasn't I shown this on CBT? Thanks for this info. Subbed.

Can't believe my instructor did not teach me this technique. I am struggling so much with balancing the clutch with the throttle. It would have been much easier with this lesson.

Respect Brother

This was really helpful. Really simply put and super easy to understand.

Very good video

Awesome!!

I used to ride my moped 125cc scooter shaped but not really a scooter,its not beefy like a scooter.Then one day I had an issue with the engine,,the piston broke and had to be replaced so while I was at it ,I asked the mechanic to install a clutch as well.Thanks to driving manual cars I kind had the idea of how to use the clutch so learnt it easily with only a few moments of stalling.

Best video❤

Brilliant.

Wow ...never knew I could let go off the clutch without any acceleration.... watching this video daily 😂

thanks bro.

Good one brother

Thanks so much for this video, liked and subbed, but think I read somewhere on the internet, that too much revs while engaging your clutch burns the clutch?
