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!😉

Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!

I think the majority of motorcycle riders neglect checking tire pressure before each ride. Good advice in this video.. including checking for nails or screws--- How do I know this last part? Guess....

[@MotoControlEn]

I guess it was empirical evidence😆

[@Ramon51650]

At 6,000 miles I wore out the factory tires and bought a front/back set of Pirelli, but with a rounder profile. It has been a big difference in performance.

[@MotoControlEn]

A brand new tire set always feels awesome!

[@malusadv]

Very usefull vdeo. Thanks Andrej.

Thank you Andrev

Love your video as always🔥

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

Timely video, Adrei; thank you. My '21 H-D just clocked 11,000 miles on their stock Dunlop 401s, and on Tuesday I'm getting Dunlop American Elites. Supposedly they have greater longevity and are more capable in various weather conditions. Thank you for continued, insightful content.

11k is not that bad for a heavy bike!

[@Xenro66]

1:32 Found this out the hard way. Didn't realise I had a slow puncture in my rear and by the time I noticed it, the tyre developed quite a nice flat ring :/

[@doswoods653]

I had a screw in a water channel of the rear on a set of brand new pirelli’s… I patched it and planned to replace it but ended up putting an entire season and a half of wear on it without issue. I wouldn’t typically recommend it… but that specific time, it held fine until I was ready for a new set due to wear. In retrospect it wasn’t the best of ideas. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway… good video. Thanks.

[@MotoControlEn]

Most of the time these patches work pretty good. Most of the time😁

[@pbrooka9619]

Getting new tyres on my bike soon, no confidence in the ones that came with the bike when I got it new.

[@MotoControlEn]

Bike manufacturers sure like their OEM parts cheap!😉

[@pbrooka9619]

@@MotoControlEn tell me about it, the guy at the dealer told me they aren't that great in the cold and wet....I live in Britain! 🤣

Hola Andrei, todavia viviendo en Argentina? Bienvenido!! Yo vivo en Neuquen, Patagonia Argentina. Tus videos me han sido muy utiles. Compre una RE Interceptor 650 con 7.000 km y creo que es hora de cambiar las cubiertas. Si bien la moto no esta diseñada para off road pienso en que deberia colocar algunas con mas dibujo (on/off road) pues siempre tenemos que tomar algun camino de ripio por estas partes. Que opinas tu? Aca se consiguen Metzeler, Rinaldi y Pirelli. Alguna sugerencia seria excelente. Hello Andrei, still living in Argentina? Welcome!! I live in Neuquen, Patagonia Argentina. Your videos have been very useful to me. I bought a RE Interceptor 650 with 7,000 km on it and I think it's time to change the tires. Although the motorcycle is not designed for off road, I think that it should include some with more tread (on/off road) because we always have to take a gravel road in these parts. What do you think? Here you can find Metzeler, Rinaldi and Pirelli. Any suggestion would be great.

[@charlesdarwin4351]

Hello Andrei, did you visit Argentina? I ask because of the footage. Sound advice expertly presented, as always. Thanks for your videos.

[@MotoControlEn]

¡Hola! Yes, I'm in Argentina right now!

I lowered my seat and adjusted my forks, to suit my 170lbs. Now my body is balanced better on it. No more weight on my wrists under load. just when breaking. 2015 GSXR 750.

[@EEEBA1]

Did you do suspension adjustment? Thank you

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

@@EEEBA1 Yes, I set the rebound and compression to hold me up.

Tires are the thing that makes the most difference. My wife's car is a Ford Escape 2.0 turbo. I put some Nitto NT 555's On it. She makes sports cars try. I live in Florida, I do not ride in the rain. I have that luxury. So, I am rolling on Michelin Pilot power cups.

[@MotoControlEn]

Love Pilot Power, awesome tires, great choice!:)

[@udxpierre]

Was saying this to a mate today. Tyres and brakes, never skimp on those.

[@MotoControlEn]

I can only double down on that!

[@davidwilliams7220]

I have 1250gs, it has tyre pressure monitor as standard, would you be happy to rely on that on day to day riding Adrei

[@MotoControlEn]

Absolutely, why not!

[@JohnDoe_777]

Хороший английский)

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Size matters. My daughters Grom with little tiny wheels is awful. I noticed years ago with mini bikes, terrible traction off road, those tiny wheels again. Trail bikes, standard tyres, terrible traction. Knobby tyres, hard terrain compound is OK on the road. Soft terrain or cheap Asian knobbies terrible on road, compound is too hard.

[@marsoelflaco5722]

I believe that the numbers (10/20) on the tire are the month and year.✌🏽

[@MotoControlEn]

There are plenty of tires with first two digits higher than 12, so I think it's week!

[@DakarBlues]

10/20 is the 10th week of 2020, something like 2nd week of March 2020.
