Yes, I’m going to make a part 2 and I’ll go into these questions ! Great questions! Yes I use the friction zone in almost every gear to ease into the gear , I don’t usually “bang “ the gears just let clutch out consistently but slower. I’ll make a video tomorrow for you!

Great, I look forward to part 2. Thanks! Another thing that gets me is change in elevation. On my commute to work, I'm in my car visualizing what I'd do in a motorcycle. Like when I get to a intersection, I look extra carefully for oncoming turning vehicles. Another thing that gets me is changes in elevation. There's a very step downhill curve coming off the highway that ends at a stoplight intersection...that is really confusing on how I should handle it. Thanks again for the replies, and for making these videos.

I just got my bike today and totally was stupid and tried letting the clutch go without using the throttle til last second. needless to say it stalled out a couple times til i quit and went back to this video for help 😭

awesome i'm glad it helped. let me know if you have any other questions i can answer and or do a video response.

Thanks for sharing. Do you ever clutch in while in something other than first gear? Like, while in second gear, could you clutch in to use the friction zone to control speed? Also, when you slow down, do you usually cycle down through each gear like you demonstrate at 15:22 or could you clutch in, and as you come to stop, shift down multiple times until you get to first? Finally, what speeds do you get to before shifting to the next gear? Thanks, I have so many questions. Your videos are very inspiring. They make me want to get on my TU and go practice.

I would recommend shifting through each gear as you’re approaching a light, I wouldn’t ever skip a gear. It could cause the rear wheel to lock up or skid because the rpm’s don’t match the gear. I’ll make a part two for you my friend.

@@HalfMoonMotorcycles For shifting multiples, I meant like, could I come to a complete stop in like, third gear. Then just bump the shifter down until I hit first?
