Learn Motorcycle Handling: The Fundamentals, Self Rotation and Self Balance of the Motorcycle

Version Française ici : • Apprendre la Maniabili...
This last weekend, despite the cold and some snow, took place the first training course certificated "Anti Pilot de Ligne Droite" of the year 2022, which is about the Energetic Drivability.
The opportunity was good - thanks to the presence of a third party for the videos lol -, to show a little the path of formation of our training courses :)

exceptional commentary on how motorcycles behave!

Thank you :)

[@mnnic4292]

As always, great video. Thank you.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Thank you :)

[@darwinsinthavong8323]

Thanks for the English explanations. And it helped a lot seeing how things work with no hands.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

You're welcome :)

Amazing, thank you for this video!! Greetings from Italy

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Thank you :) Nice country, Italy, I went to Florence when I was teenager ;)

[@otkortho]

I've been waiting for this English version!

[@otkortho]

I am Japanese, but, at * 2:16 ~my hands strangely place ~ is strongly? , ** 2:26 ~slowind~ is slowing ? So sorry.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Cool :)

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

No, it is "strangely", I meant that they are not placed on the handlebar as we are used to do it. The idea was to have the less force possible on the handlebar, but without releasing it. Yes for slowind, it is a mistake from me :( The good word is slowing, oups :)

[@EazyDuz18]

how can you not touch handlebar without speed stopping?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

If you don't pull the clutch, the bike can not stop. Because your engine has a minimum speed, and if clutch is released and a gear is in the box, the rotation of the enggine is transmitted to the rear wheel, and so, the bike is moving. One some bikes, like the one cylinder ones, the risk is that the engine can stop itself, and then, the bike stoppes too. But with four cylinders bike, there is no risk (if your idle is good, and has not been downgraded)

Amazing skills.

Thank you :) It was first Alexis course and Vincent already did 2 of them :)

[@Psyque23]

Great video! Are you on friction zon all throughout and dragging the rear break?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Thank you :) No, there no need to use friction zone, with this kind of riding... more infos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH6mi6SHg9-JpK8

[@rainbowbroom8335]

A lot of other instruction talks about moving your body to counterweighting, is this necessary?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

It seems it is, as this video is not about moving your body to counterweighting as you are used to do it... The bike is doing self balance even at low speed, so you don't need to do counter weight. Did you really watch the video?

[@kenlee7954]

At 2:08, could you please rephrase what it's meant by "incline speed"? Not quite sure. Are you referring to its lean angle or..? I am trying to guess what it means by thinking maybe you are saying the handlebar input must not be in a hurry or something I don't know.. I am confused... I am desparate to know because I am really into practicing gymkhana style tight turns and unfortunately there is no where I can pay to learn all this in where I live...

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

It is difficult for me even in Franch to explain it lol when you lean the bike, you can lean it slowly or fast and I don't speak about the speed of the motorycle. I just speak about how fast or not is moving the bike to the ground :) So if this speed is slower than the rotation of the handlebar, the bike will be pushed to the opposite side of the first lean angle you initiated. If this speed is faster, then the bike will continue to lean in the same way, but, there are risk to slide or to fall when the handlebar will reah its full lock... About Gymkhana style, don't do this mistake: there is no gymkhana style. Moto Gymkhana is only about rules concerning the color of the cones. It is not a way of riding. You can do Moto Gymkhana with any technics you want, but they don't have all the same "power" :) What I am trying to show people here is about the Energetic Drivability way of riding, and this can be used where ever you want to ride, not only for Moto Gymkhana :)

[@kenlee7954]

@@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite ah ok. I am just wanting to learn those tight turning maneuvers often demonstrated in gymkhana events. Unlike circuit runs, gymkhana events and practices take place in narrow spaces and lower speed settings and that's the sort of riding I would like to practice.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Where are you from ?

[@kenlee7954]

Sydney, Australia

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Ouch, yes, far away... France is a nice country, you know ;)

[@milo2434]

How much did you raise rrpm?

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

it depends on the motorcycles, and it depends on the exercize we want to :) On the GSXR, 2000rpm are enough to play, but you cand o it without changing it, it will be only faster in the race (in this case, I can't use the front brake). On the cbr, when I want to remove my hand from the handlebar it is around 2500rpm.

[@milo2434]

@@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite thank you very much for quick response 🙂

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Sure, I hope it is clear enough, because when I read my answer again, I am not sure if it is clear lol

[@milo2434]

@@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite i think so. I understand it vary from things like where your full lock on the bike is (different on naked and in sportbike)and other

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Yes, on a sportbike who turns less, your minimum speed needs to be faster than on a naked bike. After that, it depends on the power of the engine, how many cylinders...

[@Elscroftz]

Hello. Is there a minimum RPM requirement for the bike to be rotating at full lock? My bike's engine starts kicking when RPM go too low and there's a harder sensation of free fall when it locks completely. Would love an answer, thank you in advance.

[@AntiPiloteDeLigneDroite]

Hi, sorry for the delay :( The limit of rpm, means à limit of lean angle: so if you lean to much, the bike needs to rotate à lot to compensate, but stop steers are stopping the rotation too early, so you fall This means you are limited with lean Angle, when you are at minimum idle... to compensate, you shound increase it, but thd bike will be harder to lean :) I this video, I speak about speed and rotation, but for now it is only in french. English version will come asap kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKvPY5SHjZ1_qtE
