Newbie question: If you're not supposed to look down, how does that work with the downward mirrors?
@IbbySS.8 күн бұрын
Good question: the position of the mirrors are called “downward mirrors “however the mirrors themselves are not actually facing the ground, but directly behind you. Whether they are in the up position or down position, they show you the same angle, which is the traffic behind you .

Thanks for this video. I think one of the biggest mysteries to new riders is how to down shift properly. I’ve watched a lot of videos but I always wondered, if I had to stop suddenly and I was in a higher gear could I come to a complete stop and then just shift all the way down through the gears. I have my answer! Thanks Brotha👊👊

Was this your first bike? Some say the Scout Bobber has too much power for a beginner. Thoughts?
@IbbySS.2 ай бұрын
Hey the bike is def not my first one. I started on a Ninja 300 and I learned everything I know on it. Def don’t regret starting on a 300. The scout bobber may not be the fastest or too powerful, I def don’t want to mess up on a such a nice looking and expensive bike if I were new. So for that reasoning, I wouldn’t recommend it for a beginner who’s learning.
@dangra252 ай бұрын
Man I wish I saw this when I rode my first bike. I was all kinds of nervous about shifting and breaking and so many people filled my head with different things not to do that will break the bike etc. In the end I just stopped worrying and it all fell into place. Probably could have done things better but man learning by doing is so much fun on a bike. Ride safe freinds

You said your visor is fogging up around 10 minutes in. If you haven't already, look up pin lock, silicone antifog visor inlays. I got one and it's day and night. You can breathe against the visor like an asthmatic in minus degrees during a snow storm, and it won't fog up at all. Also makes it unnecessary to keep a slit open during rainy days to prevent fogging.

revving the bike while on the road with the clutch disengaged can bog the engine or cause it to stumble when you re-engage the clutch. This happens because the engine RPM might drop too low or rise too high relative to the bike's speed, making it difficult for the engine to smoothly match the power to the wheels when the clutch is engaged again. Happened to me so I only rev when It’s absolutely necessary 😂 then if it doesnt turn on. You just gotta flip the switch a couple of times to pump the bike in neutral then you should be good

@IbbySS.4 ай бұрын
@@Pr0jectATLAS that's a great question. The main indicator is the engine, you can hear when it's reaching peak rpm. However with that note, you can shift without waiting for the rpms to get high. So technically at any time
@Pr0jectATLAS4 ай бұрын
@@IbbySS. Thanks for the response, so why happens if you slow down but don’t shift down fast enough or vice versa, what if I speed up and don’t shift up fast enough. Do you ever get to the point where you know what gear your in without checking the indicator?
@IbbySS.4 ай бұрын
@@Pr0jectATLAS another great question: 1. What happens when you slow down and down shift in time. -> you can always slow down, even to a full stop in any gear. As long as you shift back to the first gear before you move again. Or if you done plan to stop fully, just shift back to neutral. Keynote; just make sure to not let go of the clutch when you come to a stop. 2. What if you speed up without shifting in time? -> well if you accelerate with out shifting up, the bike won't go faster past a certain speed and remain constant. 3. How do I know which gear I'm in? -> the easiest way to know is by listening to the engine. But that comes with time and practice. When you're use to it, you can tell which gear you are in without ever looking. But until then you can always glance down and see. -> key points: When the engine is loud: shift up When the engine is quiet or stuttering, shift down if needed (some people will be in a high gear to keep the bike quiet(er) I'll see if I can demonstrate this in a video for you. If you got any other questions, feel free to ask away.

Hey there! It was covered quickly but shortly near the end but let me try my best here: It's going to be similar to how I was explaining it when shifting from gear 1 to gear 2. You just pull in the clutch and then shift up for each gear one by one. (generally the shifting is done with your left foot on majority of bikes). The same works for shifting down in the reverse order but just need to shift down through each one. This might be better made via a video possibly. I'll break this down in a more in-depth video.

I'm just looking into motorcycles and considering taking mc-license soon. Watching these videos has made me realise just how similar much of it is to driving a car, conceptually speaking. All I would need to really do is learn where the things are and how they work compared to a car, I already have the understanding for the most part. For example in order to shift I need to engage the clutch, just like in a manual car. Same thing with many other things like the friction zone, you get going exactly the same way you do on a manual car. The concept is exactly the same.

Otherwise if you're not too crucial on getting the hang of riding quickly and just want to ride your dream bike for casual use then get the bike you want.
