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!😉

I've discovered this channel not too long ago and I feel that he is one of the best motorcycle instructors out there. Not only he is an expert at what he does, he presents it in a humble fashion and makes the learner quite comfortable. Kudos! It can be quite hard to have someone this good not have the ego to go along with it. He truly wants you to learn and be safe

Yes he's the best I found. He is especially more skillful than top motorcyclist YT channel.

yeah i've also seen some others trying to explain simple stuff and make it sound weird, confusing or even teach something wrong (just because it worked for them) that is completely wrong for most riders and especially beginners. But this guy right here never fails to do the right thing at teaching new (and even experienced) riders how it's done correctly.

This guy is what Motojitsu started out as..humble, experienced and well-spoken, showcasing and explaining the things an instructor would never tell you. Nowadays his ego and "fame" has gotten to him and I cant stand listenening to the guy. Thankfully Moto control came in my feed and is now my "go to" for mc info and learning. Its winter here though so wont be driving anytime soon, but its a good way to keep the knowledge and awereness ready for season start.

[@SongJLikes]

0:49 Oh man, that ‘whiskey throttle’ clip was rOUgH .

[@C_R_O_M________]

I used to use more my wrist and fingers (twisting - like you showed) to control the throttle, it resulted in chronic wrist sensitivity and sometimes pain. Nowadays I use my forearm. It's a game-changer in order to completely eliminate wrist pain and the risk to whiskey-throttle but your whole posture needs to be adjusted accordingly. People should learn to ride a dirtbike before any other motorcycle. Dirt-biking is the best way to learn to properly ride a motorcycle. It's no mere chance that MotoGP racers open the throttle with foreman movement not wrist movement and it's not mere chance that their major off-season practice consists of MX or Enduro riding.

[@donbuchanan8412]

In order to use the full lever travel, it is best to use all four fingers on the brakes. This also helps to ensure that the throttle is closed during the braking phase.

[@венцивасилев-м7м]

Greetings from Bulgaria! From where the intro guy is! :D One of the best Bg bikers!

[@soujrnr]

Great stuff!! I bought some cones awhile back, but I haven't found a place to use them yet. I'm anxious to get out there and do some slow speed work. I just bought a new Goldwing, and it handles so much differently than my cruiser. I really need to work on my slow speed skills with the new bike.

[@netikras]

In my very humble experience, I've discovered that it's very easy to accurately - measure how much throttle I've rolled - roll the throttle on/off very gently - keep the throttle steady (like cruise control) even when the handlebars/hands are moving. I simply keep 2 fingers on top (not front) of the brake lever and maintain pressure on the top of the lever with my index and middle fingers. How much throttle is rolled? Feel what's the fingers' position: do they still sit comfortably on the base of the lever? Need to roll on the throttle gently? Gently press (not squeeze) on the (top of the) lever with my fingers - the palm will roll the throttle up. Or gently remove pressure from the lever - the throttle will roll off. Need to maintain the gas? Lay the two fingertips on the lever acting like a ratchet and gently twist the wrist upwards (as if rolling off) to apply some pressure on the fingers - the ratchet mechanism kicks in and stays steady. Maybe it's not a good technique. But it works incredibly well for me.

[@konrad8541]

Hack: use those throttle clamp thingy (I don't know they're called). It's cheap, easy to install which literally just clamp it to the throttle and will make you accustomed to a safer throttle hand position, not to mention you don't need to grip your throttle at all.

Throttle death grip also gives you too much steering input which causes death wobbles to blow up into a high side instead of self-correcting.

[@motonoob-i2d]

I am really intrigued about Moto Gymkhana - can you recommend any resources on learning more about those techniques? This channel is awesome. I practice almost daily in car parks and usually review the videos before I head out.

[@MotoControlEn]

Yes, I have, but they are in Russian😃

[@motonoob-i2d]

​@@MotoControlEn I am so interested that I would obtain such Russian books and run them through a translator app to read them 🙂Can you share the title/author? I will look them up!

[@djoppeneer]

My instructor says don't have your hands on the brake or clutch when you don't use them. It will prevent accidental use when a sudden event happens and therefor you keep control. don't take my word, since I am a beginner rider.

[@AntiExtrimist]

For me personally, I am always giving the middle finger to my front brake. Provides good throttle control and the brake is always accessible.

[@kitsura]

For the slalom around the cones do you just brake to slow down or use the friction zone since you maintain a constant throttle?

[@MotoControlEn]

I use both for different bikes at different speeds, but the friction zone method generally is more universal

[@ZabDevin]

Awesome video. Do you teach wheelie techniques or best practices?

[@wporeo2595]

Thank you, Russian Evan Peters.

[@sCiphre]

2:55 "Don't have a death grip on your throttle, hold it like you would... hold a neck." (Man the Russian educational system sure is different)

[@XaiaDigital]

How do I keep steady speed while doing long slaloms? The bike I am on is jerking like crazy even with minimal throttle changes. Any tricks to keep continuous speed at all times?

[@khemsanz]

Hi Andrei, just wanted to ask which one is the right thing to do in a corner. Rev match to slow down + brake, or brake + rev match? Appreciate it!

[@RedMo46]

Match first, then brake. Dont risk reducing braking zone, be in the right gear first. Dont grab it in the corner

[@khemsanz]

@@RedMo46 Thank you!

[@JoseAlvarez-dl3hm]

Great video. I have one problem, I am very used to always pull the clutch all the way in whenever I break, which I feel extremely comofrtable when I need to really break fast, since I don't have to roll out the throttle becasue when applying the clutch I can just let the throttle out instantly . But many instructors have told me that is incorrectly and I have a really hard time breaking that custom of mine. I also use the clutch when doing trailbraking. So, when you apply braking, do you use the clutch?

Not yet, been too lazy to move to a new platform😁

[@Flipping_panda]

Could you cover what happens when you abruptly close the throttle please

You'll go straight into an engine brake and it can make the bike very unstable, shifts the weight on your suspension too fast

Hi Andrei. I enjoy your content and I learn a lot even though I ride for quite a few years now. I was wandering if you could post a narrated ride around Buenos Aires. During my courses I had an awesome instructor who would ask me to narrate what I see and what I'm going to do, so that he'd know whether I missed a sign or anticipated a car cutting me off. When I did something iffy he'd mark the time and discuss it with me after the session. Now I ask people to record such rides so I could compare thinking of experienced riders with my own - for safety but also just for fun. So far only Roadcraft Nottingham did so with his pupils, e.g.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmmoqGOmZdmBr5Y - I find such videos very informational but his are specific to UK (driving on the left side of the road). I was hoping to see such videos from other countries. Besides, Buenos Aires is beautiful city and I'm pretty sure people would enjoy watching it even on mute.
