How and Why to drive a semi automatic motorcycle in Asia!

[@georgejensen7292]

Thank you mate! About to head off to Vietnam to ride one of these and this was very helpful.

[@GenevieveEze-t2k]

I went and tried it in immediately after Ur amazing vid. Trust me u r amazing at teaching ❤❤❤

[@ghostriley1855]

You've explained it well better than all the other moto vloggers here in the Philippines 😂

[@rahimirahim1107]

Yeah same, he explained more clearly and in depth than other Malaysian vloggers video. I’m so happy that I’d found this video, it help me a lot more in understanding how a Semi works.

legit pre, may mga kwento pa ng talambuhay 😂😂

[@xylonistah10]

You got that right! Kairita manood ng motovlogs, lagi ko na lang nasasabi na just get to the point pls

[@ahamster312]

easy to understand and straight to the point. Now i'm confident to try riding semis

[@venliperalta]

It's Cheaper to maintain Semi Automatic than CVT transmission. But in Semi Automatic you have to change gear.

[@sunnywithpuddles]

Great explanation about the bike, but Asia is a big place. Not everywhere uses the horn so much. Thailand is chill AF. Hardly hear horns at all. Even when people are blocked they often wait

[@richdude8150]

Thank you so much. I am purchasing one of these bikes and this has lessened my nervousness

[@CreativeGinge]

Glad I could help

[@bobothaw4144]

Been finding for tutorials. Your's is the best one.

[@fimarshall2272]

This was exactly what I needed thank you!

[@altarego7]

Incredibly helpful, thank you!

[@richardp8477]

Great video, super informative and precise.

[@shanebarry1298]

Agreed

[@mrnoodle2361]

thank you random ginger guy i found on youtube now i can finally ride a bike

[@MAYK1NG]

A little frenetic but some genuinely good tips that no one else has thought to mention (like the meaning of horn beeps!) So many other videos with “do this, do that” but no further explanations as to how or why, Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@easydailytrades4205]

Explains perfectly Honda's switch gear on the left hand for the last 10 years. The horn is where the indicators are on every other manufacturer. Easy to see the models sold predominantly into the Asian and Indian markets.

[@Meljonestanil]

Thank you for this tutorial ❤

[@ezilyen]

Thank you! This is what I exactly looked for. I am just planning my Vietnam road trip ;)

[@garybevan288]

Been riding one around Phnom Penh for the last 9 years. Also own a Moto Guzzi 650 which is great to ride out in the open but a pain around town.

[@traveler7249]

Vietnam is NOT all of SE Asia. There are many countries and not all use the horn. - Indeed in some a fine can be levied for excessive horn use.

[@ramonalewis5163]

The best explanation thus far. Thank you😊

[@filiussolis5368]

Thanks for the tips. I just bought the same motorcycle lol (Honda Wave 110S).

[@geffryx8530]

Concise and straightforward video. Feeling prepared 😎🙌

[@libersound]

Wow, thank you so much for this wonderful guidance!!!

[@sdaiwepm]

Based on my recent experience as well, those Honda gear indicator lights break a lot!

[@tigeruppercut2000]

Best practice is to brake with both front and rear at the same time. If you lock up the front you'll go over the front handles. If you lock up the rear wheels, you rear end will slide out suddenly, drift and you'll also fall.

[@taiyeadebisi2524]

Excellent t........, your explanation is very very good 👍 thanks so much 🙏

[@knight91066]

True, nice, perfect and actual acting the road and horn using in south east asia... I am from a south east asian country where all the HUMAN, Animal, bike,car,bus,lorry, altogether in same road same time and coming from right and left, from rear and some time from the front side... Now its your responsibly to save yourself... Day by day we got use to this Fantastic Roads 👍👍

Thank you sooo much for making this video. God bless you!!

[@joshiedL]

Note on the IDP Vietnam ONLY accepts IDPs issued by countries who are members of the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic 1968 - which doesn't include Australia, NZ, Canada, USA and others.

[@johnquarino]

The most important thing to me knowing how to change gear in every situation on road riding

[@johnquarino]

So pray and listen to other people teaching u about motorcycle

[@TaskSwitcherify]

Nice tutorial and great camera action 🙂

Great tips!👏👏👏

[@andreadistefanoMS]

Nice tutorial. I have never seen a scooter like this. Thanks for sharing!

[@ezilyen]

What do you think, where and how can I apply the Go-pro cam and the sat nav the best way?

[@newgabe09]

Don;t beep the horn in Laos ! Rude. Unless you REALLY need to warn someone. Makes a very pleasant calm riding experience :) And for the floppy helmets, I wear a beanie underneath, snug and stops wind in the ear.

[@danielristov736]

does it have Engine Braking when you release the trottle

[@brook3518]

How to change to reverse gear?

[@evelynfarfellwooosh1219]

I recommend using full face helmet and it's a big jump of protection compared to half face, those kind of bike helmet is even worse and doesn't do shit.

[@onurhokelekli3285]

Don't you need a motorbike driving license at home to get an IDP for motorbike that is valid in Vietnam? If you have a driving license for cars and get an IDP for it, is it still going to be valid to ride a motorbike in Vietnam?

[@ntembright7679]

Can I use second gear to start?

[@okimurafranck7672]

cool man thanks (LIFAN ORIOL 110E)

[@NiketaLemoth-p6j]

He really called me out on that burning part

[@ivicasiljanovski3259]

You can explain little bit about maintenance of this kind of scooter witch part we should replace for long ride

[@onelasada1707]

This kind of motorcycle is very durable and maintenance is very simple. The important maintenace is you need to change its oil and filter every 6 months or 1 year if you hardy use the bike. For long rides, make sure to rest your bike for 30 mins for every 50km. If brand new, you don't have to replace anything, use the stock parts and minimize modifications.

[@ChrisArtell]

Why doesn't anyone mention stopping? Pretty important part.

[@moneybagbri596]

Teach us how to wheelie

[@curiousboy2204]

Hi, Normally , I would rest my left foot with my toes on the front end of the gear lever... so it is easy to upshift the gears by just pushing it down. I would like to know how do you then downshift gears on a semi automatic bike ? Do you use the heel of your left foot to push the rear end of the gear lever down ? If you do that, I find that you would then need to shift your foot back a bit (as the gear lever is long and our foot is not that long) to contact the rear end of the gear lever , which tends to be a bit uncomfortable.

[@curiousboy2204]

Update : I recently travelled to Laos and rented a semi automatic motorbike and after observing some riders using the front of their foot to press the rear end of the gear lever, I also tried it and I think that's the way to go for me at least :)

[@JC-fx3wh]

You can also use your toe to pull upward the front end gear lever to downshift.

[@mebesaturday]

@@JC-fx3wh very difficult to do on a semiauto, on my 650 V-strom yes but not on a a semi, they are made to shift with flip flops and require much more pressure.

[@noonsun533]

Thank you so much for your video. In which situation should the rider use first gear?

[@Thenuja2009]

When towing heavy loads and startin goin u n hilly areas

[@stillyoungatart1660]

Great advice but you didn't warn people to double check the side stand is up 🤷‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

[@newgabe09]

He did, at 4:25

[@vleessjuu]

@@newgabe09 And then at 6:30 he just took off with his stand still out.

[@dansmall13]

Is the IDP really necessary though?

[@adegboyegatosin2622]

Nice one

[@jcyt2023]

How do you downshift smoothly? I let off the throttle but still find it kicks

[@pinkipromise]

brake while down shift

[@Steven-er9fc]

No one talks about going down in gear with these. I can't figure out how to drop it down smoothly so I have more speed once I start. Why not cover that 😢

[@manwlis99]

Rev match.I daily drive a similar bike from another make.Just rev match

[@Artyhugby]

Hi! What’s the average weight of these bikes?

[@Stevenhufnagel]

If you are in Asia why did you bring sand to the beach?

[@ghostriley1855]

Very informative!

[@neno56527]

Is this a 50cc?

[@mariobeatofficial966]

Man u really Good 💥 I like u

[@chocolatefrogs1992]

Put your side stand up bro!

[@peterclaydon9782]

When are you going to do one on using a safe crash helmet.. un like the one you are wearing..

[@mustaquim.feb77]

Great 👍😂

[@Jordan-zh7ev]

Anyone knows whats the switch that says N below the signal light control is?

[@solo-nx5ml]

bro do not drive when the kick stand is on

[@ahmedifhaam2669]

ur too good at this.. sounds like you have been driving for at least 5 years..

[@MillieMoments]

Although you explained this very clearly, i'm still confused haha! Seems like a lot to think about haha..think i'd rather pay the extra and have automatic 😂💙

[@newgabe09]

I like my automatic, been on all sorts of crazy roads on it. But sometimes a semi is all that's available for rental, so I'm watching to learn in case :)

[@fendifumi333]

how are you confused bro the only difference is an extra brake and pointing your foot up or down 💀

[@maximilianisaaclee2936]

I have to disagree, the semi automatic bike isn't much safer than an automatic, you may be able to control your gear but it's not much safer. What makes it safe or not is whether you're used to it or not. I'm mainly a scooter rider but I do have to learn the semi automatic motorbike because it's the standard taught in our driving schools. I prefer using my left hand for rear brake and I'm good at controlling it, maybe due to my prior experience riding a bicycle, while on this semi automatic motorbike, there's much of a learning curve, and my right feet often gets tired and it hurts, and that makes me accidentally use the front brake, for that reason, I'd say it's not much safer. The only thing that's safer about this semi automatic is when it on neutral gear, you can't accidentally twist the throttle and move your bike, while with the automatic, I have to be careful not to twist the throttle if I didn't intend to. However, I agree that it's much cheaper and perhaps fastest, knowing how to ride on one would allow me to rent it if I'm ever on holiday, but I'm still more comfortable with my personal automatic scooter bike.

[@DobermannJeff]

06:30 wow... Don't be gentle it's a rental

[@TigistMekuria-ye4wl]

You mention all too fast for beginner ,remember kick stand!

[@mebesaturday]

talks about safety yet wears a plastic hat and not a helmet 🤣🤣🤣

[@mebesaturday]

talks about safety yet doesn't have mirrors on his bike

[@Fw_clixx]

Who needs mirrors 😂

[@Fw_clixx]

And he does have a mirror

[@mebesaturday]

@@Fw_clixx broken glass and not pointed in the right direction... like i said

[@steve00alt70]

You still need to wear full motorcycle gear because you can fall off.

[@KaedeRepayo]

Hahahhaha

[@adammartin5629]

It's riding not driving
