I whiskey throttled my mt-125 on the first week (I'm on week two of riding). I pulled two wheelies behind a bus but thankfully managed to save it. I had no idea why it happened until randomly came across this video. Thank you so much!

@@Opie.. slow is smooth and smooth is fast my brother. I have been riding for over 40 years and you’ll be fine. Just slip the clutch a little bit more hold the revs a little higher or lower while gently slipping the clutch a little more in the friction zone and you’ll be fine! You will find that relationship/balance! Good luck. :-)

I, funnily enough, suffered from the opposite issue on my first day of riding, I used to give to little gas, and I stalled the bike like 15 times, only issue is my wrist gets tired when I ride for a long time, and I can't really lean forward too much cause I don't have a learner's yet so I ride on a farm, and the ground is quite sandy and rocky, so generally bad. Also, I'm 180 odd cm and the bike isn't all that large.

This was never a problem for me, until I recently put a new free flowing exhaust on my 650. The throttle response became much sharper at low revs, nearly acting like an on/off switch. I'd always learned to set the brake lever as you demonstrate, so that outstretched arms and fingers form a straight line. I was therefore surprised to be caught out by the new exhaust's power surge making me do involuntary bunny hops. After that bad experience, I learned to be far more delicate with the throttle, but your video inspired me to straight away go into my shed and raise the brake lever by a few degrees more, so that there would never again be the risk of accelerating when clenching the handlebars tight.

@briangc1972 8 ай бұрын

Your videos are always well made and the lessons are easy to understand. You should have included the importance of the left hand when in a panic. Whiskey throttle is usually caused by a panic move or results in a panic. Controlling the clutch is the ultimate safety mechanism. Simply squeezing the clutch lever at any time instantly stops the power to the wheels and allows the rider to control the situation and hopefully release the whiskey throttle. Everything you said is correct, just need to add a reminder about the clutch.

@borisb5163 8 ай бұрын

In my opinion this only works well when first/in parallel thaught the friction zone technique. Otherwise you're teaching people to grab the clutch when in danger, which puts you actually in more danger when the bike is tipped over.

@DoesNotGiveAF 6 ай бұрын

Don't be afraid of it, it's meant to slip, use the slip. Let it out nice and easy with a little throttle until you're in gear, enough to not stall but not so much the clutch is trying to catch up. As long as you don't just let the clutch out all at once (pop the clutch) or worse with high rpms, you're fine. You'll quickly get a feeling for what it wants/needs to get going. You'll realize there's no need to fear it. On hills, hold the rear or front brake and let it off as the clutch starts to grab. That's all there is to it. Unless you get a bike with a Rev matcher (blipper) watch some videos on rev matching for downshifting, it will take a you a little bit of practice to nail down but once again it's easy with a bit of practice. Have fun and be safe!

@niscent_ 3 ай бұрын

personally, when i want to fully open the throttle, i tilt grip so that i hold the throttle more parallel to the handle bar, a bit like holding a tennis racket. this way, i can add a wrist rotation to the flexion and get ore range of motion. also, i tend to not hold the throttle with my whole hand. instead i close only my fingers on the throttle like i'm trying to pinch it between their tips and bases, and simply place my thumb along the handle. this way i'm not holding it with my palm, the base of my hand is straight and relaxed, and i get to use my finger to feel the throttle better. it makes it much easier to be gentle with powerful bikes, especially to avoid that big hit when you're trying to open the throttle slowly from fully closed.

The very first time I hopped on a friend's dirt bike, I bounces off the seat onto my stomach, on the seat and had to hold on for dear life and couldn't stop. I thought I was going to hit an obstacle several times and get flung off the bike, but the dirt bike went right over everything, as I still clung on for dear life. Somehow, I was finally able to realize that the bike would roll over nearly everything in my path and muscled my body forward and got back my wrist control to stop the bike. I never touched another bike for years after that. Now I love to ride and have even been on Road Atlanta race track for MRRS. I fell safer riding a motorcycle than I do driving a car. My how a little knowledge and skill can go a long ways.

If you're going to teach someone to ride a motorcycle for the first time, the last thing they should touch is the throttle. You should teach newbies to 'walk' or 'creep' a motorbike first using nothing but the clutch. The engine on a motorbike idles high enough that the bike will creep forward at a couple mph when the clutch is held at the biting point. Have them pull forward and stop again a few times or ride in a slow circle. Once they've got the clutch down, get them used to the brakes. Now they can learn how to use the throttle, and if anything goes wrong, they already know how to slow down and how to stop the bike from moving. Learning one thing at a time is a lot easier than getting on a motorbike, being told to 'rev and slowly let the clutch out' and having to learn everything at once when the bike flips over.

A surprise wheelie was exactly what happened the very first time I sat on a bike. It was on a Suzuki GN125 that belonged to my gf at the time. This happened after school in the school parking lot. She witnessed it and could confirm the story when it came up. Because everyone said „No way you popped a wheelie first time you sat on a bike and without crashing“. I considered myself lucky that day…could have gone sideways so easily. The front suspension probably didn’t like what happened but it was fine in the end. This was more than 25 years ago. No wheelies since.

I have a slightly off-topic question, but it may be a little bit related to this topic. When I use engine break in a corner is it similar to using a little rear break? Does it help to lean the bike a bit more or is it a bad approach? Of course different gears have different engine braking effects, which makes things a bit complicated.

@MotoControlEn 8 ай бұрын

Hi! Yes, engine braking works exactly like the rear brake in this case. The only difference is with the rear brake energy is being dissipated through heating the brake pads and rotor, and with engine braking - through squashing and heating air in cylinders and throwing it into exhaust. The end result is the same - your rear wheel spins slower. Idk about it helping to lean the bike though, I never observed such an effect. It helps tighten the curve because the bike loses speed, but it doesn't lean more because of braking (unless you're skidding the rear tire like a supermoto racer😁)

You shouldn't be braking in a corner at all. You brake before the turn or roll off the throttle a little.

@laszlokekkoi6020 8 ай бұрын

@@kylemartin1581 Yeap, i try to choose the correct speed before the turn. Sometimes a little correction with engine break is usefull. I feel that even a sudden throttle drop can give rear tyre a bit freedom especially if i'm in a lower gear so i try to be cautious. I try to be extremely soft with the front brake in any cornering condition, but I don't want to forget about it entirely. The primary cause is 🦌:) I encountered a situation in which four small "Bambi" jumped in front of me. They occupied all sides, so there was no escape route. A good breaking technique is undoubtedly life-saving :D

Never apply brake and throttle at the same time. That is a bad habit. Control the power to the wheels via the clutch. Proper use of the clutch is how you create a smooth transfer of power. Even the worst whiskey throttle does nothing to you or the bike if you control the clutch. The last time I dropped my bike I applied whiskey throttle as the bike hit the ground, but since my left hand never released the clutch, the engine just revved. Had I not maintained control of the clutch, the bike would have been severely scratched at minimum.
