Finding YOUR bike's Turning Radius

Let's delve into the process of determining the turning radius of our specific motorcycle. And we’ll not only figure it out but also will master the skills required to confidently maneuver within this minimum possible radius. This knowledge holds significance not only for the sake of exercises but also for our everyday riding experience.

On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

this is the best bike education chanel

[@martyduty2598]

So far

[@F3udF1st]

It really is.

[@vunam5016]

His education is correct to what seems right, and what I really experience with my bike which is a Cbr650r, not a very easy-to-handle one

[@wehrwolfe69]

That slow race inside the parking spaces. Inspiring!!

[@Lost_Traveler_JT]

Hello, I'm a subscriber and this might be my favorite video so far! I have been struggling with this and I will practice what you taught today. I wonder how many lives you are saving by helping people become better riders🙂👍 Thank you 😊 I miss seeing your cheerful smile and wave at the end of your videos😊

[@MotoControlEn]

I broke my mic and I'm too lazy to solder it back. But since you miss me - ok, I'll try to fix it soon😁

[@arv1ndgr]

Man, you are awesome! I haven't heard from any better coach. The most difficult part of convey such complex technique through KZbin, you are nailing it I must say!!!

[@f1xxer503]

3:50 Such as the DUCATI MONSTER.... Ow shoot.. so that's why I fail to U-turn everywhere! You just filled a major gap in my understanding of low speed turns. Thank you. This is the video I have been looking for all year! I'm going to sell my monster and get a 1000 bucks practice/crash bike.

[@martinl6205]

Incredible definition on your videos which is absolutely exceptional in comparison to a high volume of channels available.

[@lucascarracedo7421]

Great video, as always. Loving this mix of longer form videos and snack sized ones.

[@mikescombatgames]

I needed this exact video just two days ago at a practice day with a local riding group! Thank you! Excited to share. (Our actual conversation was whether a sport bike and a cruiser could do the same drills I was doing on my scooter.)

[@MotoControlEn]

They can, but only if you increase the dimensions first😁

[@vijayam1]

Always the right aspect at the right time, thanks Andrei.

[@girlandherguitar]

Thanks so much! Will try this in my practice session today.

[@cjkim6796]

been waiting for this for a while. all ur vids are very instructive. thanks!

[@samchu5335]

slow speed control videos are really useful for beginner riders. i think that's where we (or me at least) struggle the most. clutch, throttle control, counter steering, tight turns & fig 8s. thanks for another great video senpai ! i'm trying to learn the one legged mount and dismount as i'm keen in riding a high bike. however whenever i mount one foot on the peg and let the bike roll in first gear, the bike starts wobbling 😂 could you possibly make a tutorial on that ? i know practice is the main part of nailing it.

[@MotoControlEn]

Ok, I'll try to remember it😁

[@donsebo82]

[@AbhishekSingh-pr8ol]

Hi, I bought your course on beginners and as I have gone through it. I find it is to be missing one crucial prerequisite I believe viz "which bike to be chosen for beginners". I thought it should also be included as for beginners who are confused in which Motorcycle to be bought. besides that I loved all the other instructions and exercises ❤

[@ZH2.]

Thanks you for these great video's

[@nickfischer8510]

[@brahimmhamed5454]

Hi, when it comes to motorcycles, you are the best! I still have a question for you. I live in a place of scarcity. What are the techniques i should count on to cover the maximum distances with the lowest cost within the safety limits of course. Question again:: max kms/min dollars?

[@user-Ah97]

Hello Sir, I'm Ahsan Habib From Bangladesh. After 3 major bike Accidents i realized that our country's motorcycle training was too poor and one day I was searching how to learn motorcycle properly then i found your videos. Really your learning ways are Awesome🥰 Dear Sir, if you have a book about how to become a pro motorcyclist please give me one copy.

Hi Andre, Thanks for the latest video. Can you give suggestions how to salvage a corner, when we enter with a higher speed than we are comfortable with. Thanks

[@MotoControlEn]

Of course, here are two videos tied to that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKfcm62Ij7CNeas kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGPMqIOaiNuna8k

[@SAN-Adv]

thx. 👍

[@Bugside]

My '21 mt09 has a really limited steering angle I had to grow the balls to lean it to be able to turn around on the garage. Last time the rear slipped a bit while doing it in front of my neighbors, tried to keep it cool, but a little poop came out lol

[@tasaheel131]

Thanks man Should we force the handlebares to not be straight at more speed?

[@MotoControlEn]

In 99% of cases - there is no need for that, mostly it's for practicing full-lock turns.

[@pseudotonal]

The only place in my area that there is to practice is at the airport on the old runway, which is a very big area. But it has patches of sand and usually patches of water also. How do I make circles and u-turns when I have to ride over patches of sand and/or water? And the surface is all rough concrete. There are no pot holes, thank God! Can I make my turns just as fast and just as tight over these surfaces? It feels like the surface is controlling my bike.

[@coolfriend693]

Great video. Thanks .. Make a video on doin circles with no hands if possible. Also all the slow speed circle exercises mentioned here needs clutch in friction zone? Wont that damage the clutch if we keep practicing like that? Why cant we use full clutch release and control the bike with throttle and rear brake for achieving full lock turns (this is something I have been praticing on a 150cc bike)?

[@MotoControlEn]

Hi! The friction zone method in this case is more universal. On 150cc we can easily do full-lock turns with clutch fully out because of short gearing. On a big bike it'll be much more challenging.

[@coolfriend693]

@@MotoControlEn Duke 250 vs a dream sports bike with great sound (Benelli 302R). Im looking for an upgrade from 150cc as I feel I have crossed the beginner level and time to hit the next level... Which one do I choose, any guidance?

[@Victor-vf1fi]

My bike has a dry clutch. Did you ever have issues with low speed manoeuvres with dry clutch bikes?

[@tskorka1000]

Ps have you ridden the Benelli tnt 125/135? I freaking love that little Chinese bike!! What’s your fav cheap Chinese bike(s)?

[@alant779]

I'm confused. If slowing down is what brings the bike to full lock, wont raising the speed undo the full lock? How do you bring the bike to full lock at a higher speed? I don't get it.

[@pmacc3557]

after seeing them dozens of times I have to ask, what are or where those buildings in the background used for? They seem empty and built to be empty.

8 ft turning radius huh, text less than one parking spot . Maybe on a Honda 50

[@joek81981]

My deal is fear of the front just washing out on me. Where I live, I just cannot expect there won't be random sand and bullsh*t in the road. It happened once and I left motorbikes for like a decade. I'm back on the horse, but I've been cautious-to-a-fault now. If my new Scootie Puff Jr fell over and got all rat-f**ked, I'd cry, for real.
