This is honestly the only useful video to teach proper shifting on KZbin. I watched it a few years ago when I got my first street bike. Now I’m on my second and I’m revisiting because my new bike is a little different and I want to brush up my knowledge.

I really appreciate the kind words and I am very glad I could help. Thank you for watching.

I recently failed the motor officer school and I was not able to master the handlebar lockout. Even at a full stop with the handlebars locked in one direction, as soon as the bike started to roll the handlebars would straighten out despite my efforts. I'm sure it was mental and me not being able to commit due to my fear of dropping the bike, which I ended up doing anyway. I'll keep practicing and I definitely see motor officers in a different light now knowing how hard the course is. Thanks for your videos.

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

This stuff is not easy so don't get discouraged. The video I did on the 90 degree pullout will have the answer to what you were doing wrong. After watching it let me what you think.

[@bajansweetbread9]

🙋🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ Me. That’s me. Now I’ll be conscious of that and commit. I find these videos so helpful. I’m tempted to vacay in TX just to come to your training.

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

I appreciate that and you are always welcome to join us. I am glad this video helped and thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment

[@fb510m]

Paul. Really love your brief focused instruction!

[@gregmaxwell391]

I recently got back into riding after a 16 year hiatus. I quickly learned the skill I lost the most was slow speed maneuvers. I want to say thank you for creating these videos. I will be using your instruction to work on becoming a better operator.

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

The slow speed skills is something that you have to keep up. It is not natural to feel like you are falling ha ha keep it up and let me know how your practice goes

[@osaze61]

Practicing friction zone control, slow u-turns and waves in the parking lot is key to improving as a rider. Appreciate all the videos.

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Thank you for taking time to watch and for sharing your comments

[@karenshoucairmcgray4902]

I holler at myself all the time when practicing an exercise. I get in a fight with my bars as well knowing that makes it worse. Thank you Sgt.! 🙂

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Ha Ha we have all been there

[@alvalinoti2904]

yup, all the time but at least I'm aware of it now, thanks

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Glad I could help keep working on it!

[@geneahart5607]

Paul, I think you should give your first and last name in the intro, then " the motor guy " . keep up the good work!

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Duly noted and thank you so much for taking the time to watch

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

Good stuff!👍🏾

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Thank you sir and thanks for watching I really appreciate it

[@BeTheBossOfYourMotorcycle]

@@ProriderCentralTexasKZbin It’s my pleasure. 😊

[@nschutten]

Love your quick vids, this is exactly what I needed. I'm already seeing improvements when practicing this

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

I am very glad I can help 👍

[@ICENI-Britannica]

Hi from England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Just happened upon your channel and watched through. Always great to get good advice from people who ride for a living; keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Welcome to the channel and thank you very much. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment

[@royphillips7435]

I tend to do this and again a great piece of advice thanks a lot

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Thank you and I hope it helps.

[@eugeniustheodidactus8890]

Paul, thanks. If I lock'em, I usually won't back off. But anything short of a full lock means that in that moment, I lack total confidence, and backing-off usually will happen. (2019 Road King)

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Keeping working and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment

[@chrissmith7669]

Something I desperately need to master. Having the confidence to hold it while balancing is a big struggle.

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Yes sir it takes practice keep at it

[@ladyteka2430]

I’ll bet this is what I’m doing! 😕 Thanks!!! 🥰

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

You are very welcome most riders don't realize it until I point it out ha ha keep me posted

[@RonniePadgett2]

I found myself doing this. I go to lock and just ease off a little. I keep yelling at myself to stay at lock LOL. Just more practice. Plus I'm learning to control a Goldwing with a DCT as well. Different animal using the rear brake to control the clutch action.

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Ha Ha It is different for sure keep at it

[@dzenislulic1626]

Does changing gears early damage the engine? I just bought a 150cc 4 stroke dirtbike and I sometimes forget in what gear Im in so I change the gear early and it happens a lot. So Im wondering when it collects the rotations does it damage the piston and engine itself

[@Jeff82556]

Paul, thanks again for your time and effort with great videos. I'd like to say that after riding for only about 2.5 years now, or about 2,000 miles, I can say that I rarely turn my handlebars at all. For example in a cul-de-sac I find I'm usually leaning the bike rather than turning the bike w/handlebars. Maybe I'm turning them some without realizing it. Is this bad that I'm apparently avoiding turning my handlebars? Am I afraid to turn them? Thanks for any thought or tips!

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

There will be times when you will have to turn the handlebars especially when making turns at slower speeds like in a parking lot. It is common for us not to want to turn the handlebar. Check out this link to a video I did on why I think we have a hard time with it. Let me know what you think kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV67g3eMfZWDoq8

[@Ramon51650]

You were spying on me this afternoon when I made that botched u-turn, huh? As soon as I realized that it was less than ideal; I called out Paul Harper!

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

Ha Ha

[@JediFOMO]

If I handle bar turn at like 25 mph am I gonna fall?

[@ProriderCentralTexasYouTube]

At that speeds you will need to counter-steer to turn. thank you for watching.
