Everything in this video is completely correct. Some additional points for some specific bikers : 1. Consider trying a 'shorty' clutch lever. This allows you to use (always) only 2 fingers on the clutch, while also permitting the clutch lever to be pulled right back to the hand grip. 2. If possible, adjust the clutch friction point so that it is close to the hand grip. When you need the friction point in a complex situation, it is far easier to be precise when the friction point is at a known offset - the closer to the hand grip the better, but bearing in mind that when pulled in all the way the clutch MUST be fully disengaged, not within the friction zone A good shorty lever will have a good adjustment option, allowing point 2 to be achieved easily. The combination of these two allows FAR better control of the clutch in many circumstances. It takes a bit of getting used to, but if you can make the transition you will never go back.

@@soul17169 Remember that you can only successfully blip the throttle when the clutch is pulled in. Since the clutch (on downshift) will only be pulled in for a very brief time, this absolutely limits when a throttle blip is possible (and correct).

Regarding point 2 adjusting friction point so that its close to hand grip, are you talking about hand grip on the handlebars or hand grip when you are covering/on the clutch lever? Thanks!

@@codyktam I'll try to phrase this as clearly as possible. On my clutch, if I pull the clutch in all the way, and then release it about 5mm (that's less than 1/4 inch) I'm at the start of the friction zone. Effectively, the friction zone starts almost immediately as I start releasing the clutch, not at some point far from the handgrip. This means I can reliably "hit" the start of the friction zone every single time, and very fast.

You can even practice the clutch when the bike is off. When you pull in the clutch, even when the engine is off, you can feel where the friction zone is, because the lever pulls with more force when you pass this area. So an exercise one can do with the engine off is: "quickly put the lever in the friction zone" (and then move slowly through the friction zone).

Note on whether or not to leave your fingers on the levers: My buddy is a examiner here in the UK, you can fail your test for doing this. They also look for 4 fingers when engaging the levers. The 4 fingers isn't important after passing, but leaving your fingers on levers while riding can get you into some trouble... hitting a pothole or hump hard enough could cause your fingers to pull the levers, not so bad on the clutch but could be bad on the front brake, no one wants to go over the bars at any speed.

Again a concise and to-the-point instruction and demo, thanks! Question: I practised the tight turns yesterday, but noticed two things that made me anxious: 1) I couldn’t take of with the steering completely locked in the turn and keep it locked - I soon gave more throttle to prevent the bike leaning too far and then it raised itself out of the tight bend, automatically taking the steering out of the tight lock, so the curve widened and speed increased. Then it was counter-intuitive to turn the steering again to its furthest point (‘lock’j. How to overcome this? 2) My right hand is always in the ready-to-brake position, so when the speed picked up unintentionally, I had to warn myself not to use the front brake because I know that’s almost certainly a fall because my reflex is to apply it too quickly. Question: should I focus on using the footbrake if necessary? I hardly ever use it in normal riding, I just remember using it in serpentine bends in the mountains - that helped keeping revs up while adapting to changes in camber and curvature of the road while maintaining traction (especially uphill bends). I’d appreciate your tips on this!
@MotoControlEn

Hi Peter, how's it going? The answer too both your questions is to simply repeat the exercises😉At first, our brain feels really scared when the front wheel goes full lock, because the bike feels unstable. But with practice, as you are releasing the clutch to stabilize the bike again and again, your brain will feel more and more confident, since nothing bad happens. And at some point it will be confident enough to keep the bike at full lock. The same goes for the brake: eventually you will teach yourself to catch the bike with the clutch, so you will stop trying to brake instinctively.

Excellent video overall: great audio and video quality, and how you show the procedures and illustrate as you narrate. Thank you for NOT putting annoying music and stupid memes as other channels do, that does not help with learning. What would have been cool to see is if you show the mechanical parts at work when a rider applies the clutch and throttle, like an X-ray simulation so we can see the mechanics at work. Another thought, would like to see you post what gear items you are wearing in the videos, so other people can check that stuff out online or in retail stores. Maybe you can even get commission from manufacturers for showcasing their gear! The speed of your talking is perfect. Sometimes with tubers I have to accelerate the play speed. Your channel is so awesome because it is “raw” and feels so organic without a bunch of fluff, and you come across as a down to earth real person. Instead of trying to be a comedian or trigger troll.

Thank you so much for the video! As a beginner, I struggle to pick up speed after stopping at a traffic light and when I start I need to turn (long turn). I start in first gear, but my Honda rebel only goes comfortably to about 8-9 mi/h in tbe 1st gear, so I often find that I need to shift gears in the middle of a turn, but I am reluctant to do that, since I have to roll-off the throttle and it's dangerous to loose speed while turning. So, I shift gears after I complete the turn, but it's dangerous since the car behind me is not expecting a drop in speed after the turn...how do I do it correctly?

Hi! I have never rode Honda Rebel before, are you sure 8-9mph is the top speed for 1st gear? Because usually motorcycle engines can have much higher revs than car engines, and new riders tend to upshift way too early.

It sounds like you are an inexperienced rider so ease the clutch out gently on all gears for now until you have confidence.

Yeah my KLR 650 has the friction zone at nearly the beginning of the pull farthest from the grip out in front lol. So if I wanted that more to the center of full travel, is that possible? Or is it better to have it close to its end of travel? Zero issue with reaching it there, just curious if it’s mechanically better for it to engage at the far end of releasing by the beginning of the pull vs say being half way through the travel distance of clutch lever? My first bike so no prior template to compare to. Unlike my 30 years of driving an 18 wheeler where I got plenty of comparisons😂.

I have the same problem with a cbr125. Clutch level is almost fully released before clutch engages. My hand is fully extended, making it difficult to have finer control of the clutch. What I did was to screw the adjustment nuts beside the clutch lever all the way in which loosens the cable somewhat. This moves the engagement point closer to the middle of the clutch lever range. Haven't tried riding with this adjustment yet but it does allow me to pull the clutch lever a longer distance before the clutch disengages the motor. When doing this, check to ensure that the clutch is fully disengaged when you pull the lever all the way in or there may be problems with shifting if the cable is too loose to completely disengage the clutch.

Great video, spasiba 👍 Sometimes you hear of people "burning out" the clutch. How does this happen and how can I avoid damaging my clutch?

Bro I fell from my bike when I was in 1st gear and stopped before taking a turn, and I held half clutch and applied front brake with a little turn towards the right. Then the front tire skidded towards the right and the bike fell and broke my front brake. I'm a beginner and can you tell me how to avoid this situation. My bike is triumph speed 400. ABS and traction control were both on and it rained a little.

Very good, but I would say two fingers on the clutch at all times, unless straight line, you never know when you might want at least a half-decent amount of left-hand grip

I expected this to be related to something I have been observing on my two motorcycles, is that the gear shifting, at the moment I push down or pull up the gear lever it makes a loud sound. I don't know if it's something every motorcycle does or if I'm doing something wrong, but even when I put the first gear and have the clutch fully disengaged it makes this loud sound

loud clacking when engaging the first gear is completely normal

Im a new rider. When you are in like 3rd gear or 4th, when you pull the clutch in to go to 5th, (assuming im going like 30mph etc) you just pull it in and kick up and let it out fast right? You dont need to really release it slow right?

I have a question. If i clutch in then without releasing the clutch if i shift down 2-3 gears one by one is it harmful. Or is this proper way? If not then what is the proper way. Please expecting an answer who have been riding for years.

@MotoControlEn 2 ай бұрын
Hi! It will not be harmful UNLESS you downshift too much gears down. If you do that, when you release the clutch there will be a possibility to over rev and damage the engine that way.

@@MotoControlEn thanks brother. I dont downshift and as i usually keeps my speed in between 30-50 in my country. As a beginner when i ride at 50-60 speed i just throttle let go, clutch in and then down the gear one by one also slowly press the breaks. For now, using it. Will learn the downshift later on.
