You did a great job explaining! I like that you talked about stalling.

[@_bikerboyzx]

Thanks yo. I'm definitely not the greatest when it comes to public speaking. So this was a big stretch for me. Figured I can't get better if I keep pushing it back. I ran down two batteries (before noon) the day before lol Felt so weird. But this was the best I could with the speaking skills that I have 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Master_Yoshi]

@@_bikerboyzx you did good, don't worry about it! I re record vlogs all the time

[@cashflownpv]

@@_bikerboyzx I truly learned a lot from you regardless of your own perceived oratory skills or lack thereof. You did very well in terms of communicating and reinforcing key skills/concepts through the use of practictical demonstrations. I echo M Yoshi's sentiment pertaining to your lesson on stalling and found your entire video very informative. The manner in which you disseminated your motorcycle knowledge was precise and easy to comprehend. Please keep up the good work and Thank You for this video. I found it to be both illuminating and enjoyable to say the least :)

Man I've been riding for years and this video by far is the best I've seen for new riders. Explanation and steps are very accurate and realistic but overall understandable.

[@_bikerboyzx]

Thanks, just figured id give my perspective

[@aestheticcruise8807]

Splendid job on walking through the steps! I always had worries of grinding gears from either a poor shift or forgetting to use the clutch entirely. Your lesson is simplified, and straight to the point, where other videos tend to invoke the feeling of being "thrown into the flames" and expect to adapt. I am on my way to taking a motorcycle training course, and your video has helped a ton! Keep it up! 😎

[@_bikerboyzx]

Grinding gears typically happens if you downshift too fast then change your mind and try to upshift to original gear. It'd a great way to ruin your clutch. That's why it's important to BUILD skill because if you do too much, too fast you're going to try to self correct instead of COMMITTING...and that's when all hell breaks loose. Definitely good that you're taking courses and appreciate the view!

[@lakalakadakabear]

😄🙏🏾

[@hodlwise2470]

You can also do this in a manual car, fyi. If you're clutch ever fails you can still jam without it. It's called slip shifting, amongst other names. You can only upshift and it's primarily used if your clutch fails and you still need to get home or get it the shop...temporary/emergency type of thing. www.autoblog.com/2016/08/09/how-to-drive-a-manual-transmission-car-without-using-the-clutch/ You can find videos on KZbin, too. Not sure if you drive a manual, but...the more you know 😊

[@_bikerboyzx]

Thanks bro. No problem!

[@victor1102]

Super crystal clear tutorial video, thanks so much for making this to educate us motorcycle newcomers! Got a question though, from your video I learnt I have to slowly release the clutch when in the first gear for the bike to roll and not stall, but I noticed when you were upshifting to second gear and onward you didn't slowly release the clutch like when you were in the first gear, you just let it go. Does this mean I only need to release the crutch gradually and smoothly on first gear, whereas on other gears I can just release the clutch fully in an instant? Appreciated if you can clear my confusion, thanks!

[@_bikerboyzx]

That’s exactly right! The reason you have to release the clutch slowly in first gear is because you don’t have any momentum to engage the rear wheel. Whereas, if you’re already rolling, you will have enough momentum so the clutch will easily engage the rear wheel

@@charlestillman6715 It’s all good bro. All of it is MY opinion so it’s NOT law. You still have to do your own homework to be sure whatever bike you get is 1000% your choice. I’ve seen a lot of people buy & sell bikes because they’re not confident in what they ACTUALLY want. They want the fastest, the coolest, the most expensive...like make sure you’re getting it for the right reasons and you won’t go wrong. I love EVERYTHING about my cbr600rr. And eventually I’ll upgrade to the 1000 but that’s in due time. I’m not in a rush. I wanna master the 600 first

It's about time someone talks about stalling on a bike

[@233kosta]

Stalling happens. All the time. Just does. Forget the embarrassment and everything else, just focus on developing the instinct to hit the starter button right away. I've got it down so well now that you can't tell just by looking from the side.

[@_bikerboyzx]

Facts. Im at the point where if i stall, I can usually get it going and be out the intersection before the cars next to me

[@joegalloway1613]

Bro love the video. Really wanting a bike I want a Honda cbr is a 600 a good starter bike? And do you have any tips??

[@_bikerboyzx]

Appreciate you tuning in bro FOR REAL! 🙏🏾. Although I absolutely LOVE the cbr600, I honestly don’t think it’s a good starter bike. A lot of people will say otherwise because of the toxic nature of the community, but if you wanna do things practical, I’d highly suggest that you start with a smaller displacement bike (250-400cc) Because even though a 600 super sport is manageable for a beginner, there’s a FINE line that separates “THIS IS FREAKIN AWESOME 😃” from “OH FUCK!! 💥” I started on a 400 and learned the basics. And even when I thought I was ready for a 600, it was STILL a major adjustment getting acclimated to the power. I’d recommend getting a smaller sport bike first to learn the basics and to get comfortable with the style, then in about 4/5 months…sell it and put that money towards a nice new CBR 600RR! Try not to let anyone discourage you from starting small. If you start with a 600, not only will you have to “learn how to ride it but you’ll also have to have a huge discipline to NOT twist the throttle or else you’ll DEFINITELY loop it, and that’ll ruin half your season. Better to start small and then when you pull up with a dope ass cbr 600 you’ll be better than 80% of the people who “started on a 600 or liter bike”

[@darisgonzales2056]

Thank you 🥺

@@_bikerboyzx Yes it is. I made an economical decision instead of buying a 300, 600, etc. I went with a one time decision instead of wasting money of trade ins and the depreciation value.

I will say that starting on a smaller displacement bike would have served you better in learning the basics and gradually building skill & confidence. But to each is own bro. Get a GoPro and upload your progress. I wanna see you succeed

[@ezzani]

Love the video man just had a quick question did you start off on a 600rr? I’m debating on starting on a 600 because I don’t wanna have the problem of having to buy another bike later on when I get tired of a 300cc

[@_bikerboyzx]

Appreciate it 🙏🏾 And no I learned on a 400. “Don’t rush the process, TRUST the process!” Better to get the 300 learn the skills and gain the confidence first, THEN sell the bike and get a 600. Too many people skip the process because they don’t want to “buy another bike later” Power sports is NOT cheap hobby. Start from the beginning and work your way up. People who start on a 600 tend to grow A LOT SLOWER because they have to learn skill AND not die. Where a person who starts on a smaller displacement bike doesn’t have to worry about being in warp speed in two seconds and can focus on building skill. Yes it’s doable to start on a 600 but you’re going to make A LOT of mistakes which will STILL cost you money. So spend the money LEARNING on a 300 or you’re gonna spend the money correcting your mistakes from trying to learn too fast on a 600. Your choice! “Don’t Rush The Process…TRUST The Process!”

You the best

[@20skr20]

Thank fucking god someone spoke about this cause I’m new af to this and I feel like I was stalling more giving gas as trying to release the clutch then I found a video that said the bike will pull as your release before this and that helped a bit now I’m seeing this so now I wanna see if my bike rolls like that while slowing releasing

[@_bikerboyzx]

Yeah, after you ride for a bit you’ll figure out exactly where your friction zone (sweet spot) starts and ends. THEN you’ll be able to add gas. I call it “Advance Launch” as a beginner you probably won’t do it as often and definitely get lucky if you do. But all your skill will be built by simply riding every chance you get. No need to rush or try to keep up with any one. Learn at your own pace

[@dantimber]

Excellent. It's strange more people don't discuss stalling. It's very stressful for new riders. Also I wish more motorcycles had cruise control so the rider could rest his throttle hand on the highway.

[@_bikerboyzx]

Yeah I thought it was worth mentioning. Most newer cruisers come with cruise control. But most sport bikes don’t because they’re not meant to be riden for long periods of time. There are quite a few aftermarket cruise controls though

[@dantimber]

@@_bikerboyzx Okay that makes sense. How to you prevent wrist soreness on a sport bike given the ergonomics. Is it the case that most riders aren't on the bike that long?

[@_bikerboyzx]

@@dantimber The clutch & front brake levers are at an angle so it’s tough to use them while your body is upright. You can only adjust them by a couple millimeters but it helps. But the main reason for wrist soreness & fatigue is because people are leaning on the bars too much and not using their core. Gripping the bars too tight will also add to the fatigue & soreness. Plus too tight of a grip will put more input into the steering causing you to work harder to keep it straight

[@dantimber]

@@_bikerboyzx Thank you! I'm blessed to not have lower back problems but I don't focus on core muscles as much as I should when working out. Would you also include thigh muscles? Anyway what you are saying makes sense but it still looks uncomfortable. I guess I'd have to experience it myself to fully understand it. I only have limited experience on standard bikes and have never ridden a sports bike but aspire to do so. So I consider myself starting from zero. I have seen guys bending their hands/wrist upward as if they are resting and putting a lot of upper body weight on the bars. Having sprained a wrist from another activity and requiring physical therapy that looks like a recipe for wrist tendinitis. It took 2-3 months to work through mine so I'd want to avoid that for sure!

[@_bikerboyzx]

@@dantimber Yes, using your legs to grip the tank and hold you up is a definitely a must. Most people get sport bikes for the adrenaline or clout. Like I mentioned before they’re not meant to be ridden for long periods of time. It’s a compromise you have to work out for yourself. Definitely don’t rest on your wrist like you’ve seen, that’s when the fun stops. If you find yourself resting on the bars, your body is probably fatigued and you may need to rest OFF the bike. Riding a sport bike for long periods of time will definitely take a toll on your body. That’s why GP races are only about 30 minutes. I ride for fun so I’m not on the bike for long periods of time

[@_bikerboyzx]

Appreciate it!

[@Officializzyiz]

Few questions when down shifting, you hold clutch in and down shift down until 1 to slow down. When shifting gears, can you just start in 4th gear slowly then ride until you need to down shift to slow down? What break do you use if the front and back break are used. Is back break for turning? Is front break for slowing down at a red light?

Good questions! When down shifting (depending on speed AND intention) you don’t have to downshift to 1…UNLESS you’re coming to a stop (or at least a slow roll-~15mph or less) If you’re slowing down because your exit is coming or to turn a corner, downshift one gear at a time. Going from 4th to 2nd is NOT a good time. And give yourself AMPLE time and distance to do so Definitely can’t start in 4th, gear ratio is too small I use the front brake the most. Rarely, if ever, do I use the rear brake. Brakes are NOT for turning, you’re supposed to slow down BEFORE you turn

So is 1st all the way down? Then neutral above 1st then 2nd 3rd and so on?
