I'm pushing 67 and I just took delivery of a new Husqvarna FE350S. I replaced my old well worn Yamaha XT-250. I started riding dirt on a mini bike at 12. I did have some time off over the years but picked it back up in earnest in 2011. Here's the deal. Be sure you spend some time on cardio and strength training. Build up your fitness and loose your body fat. I eat KETO. I went from 183 to 146. It's a very demanding sport. Obviously, start out with easy trails and progress as you learn. But the new bikes are sprung for a roughly 180-185 pound human. That includes your gear. If you weigh more than that, you'll need to change the spring/s to accommodate more weight. Otherwise the suspension will not work properly. Diet and fitness are just as important as the bike and it's setup. Proper body weight and cardiovascular fitness is the best defense against aging and will go far in injury prevention when you biff off into the pucker bushes. Also, get knee, elbow and chest protection and wear it. You will as we say "eat it" now and again. Even the best riders eat it. Congratulations for having a pair large enough to try dirt at 60. Join a club too. That will ensure you get out frequently. Ride with people you trust and who are better than you, but will temper the rides to your ability but gently push your skills safely. It's a fun time and the people who do it are for the most part like minded, and super fun to hang out with, camp out with and you'll make many new friends. Have a great time!!!!

if youre racing hard and rebuilding your bike regularly, id agree you might not want to use the clutch, but if youre an average joe, you most definitely need to use the clutch. I've rebuild multiple bikes from people trying to power shift without the clutch and they end up destroying second gear and bending shift rods.

@Jesse Hoolihan Right there with you brother! As most watching this type channel (beginner tips vid), if you want your clutch to last, use the lever.. Now if your able to match engine/wheel speed with precision, one could more safely (for the clutch), not use lever while at speed.. Its a great skill to have (manipulating clutch lever) riding offroad for a multitude of reasons, but if ur that 1% who gets paid to bang gears, this video/comments arent for you.. Keep Riding!

I gotta say all this info is spot on, I just started dirt biking 2 weeks to be exact, I bmxed for 10+yrs though, bought a 2019 wr250fx and my first day was a challenge at first but towards the end of the day with all this advice given to me from my brother and his buddy I really started riding way better, luckily I live in the mountains and can practice a bit in my yard (not too much cause there's always those pesky neighbors that like to call the cops) but I went from dropping my bike in easy situations, to riding the expert trails the next weekend with my brother and his friends that have been riding since they were kids (they're 30yrs old now) so they're really really good. One thing they really wanted to nail into my head was slipping the clutch in really steep hill climbs while balancing it with throttle control so you don't bog the bike down and kill it or like you were saying lose momentum. It's crazy stuff, but with the right knowledge and understanding of the physics of riding you can get really far really fast. The rocky hill climbs with loose softball and up size rocks everywhere and the single track with one way to go and no other is when you really need to pay attention ahead of you, as far as possible. And riding on rocks in the rain you also wants to maintain momentum so when you hit rocks and your tire slides you keep going rather than get knocked around and put your foot down and then drop the bike. My brother and his friends are crazy though, so they have taken me into the gnarliest stuff and just explained all of this stuff to me so I had no choice but to just go for it! I'm not the type of person to just turn around and go back either which is the mindset you need for dirt biking. And don't worry about hurting your bike! It'll ruin your fun. I'd also suggest the cycra probends to protect your levers if you're a noob like me.

I will have to stand more. Being short 5'6"- 5'7" makes things so much more difficult... or it saps me of confidence and I keep dropping the bike. I am constantly fighting the bike, exhausting myself to the point of heat stroke in the past. Plus, looking down at the ruts is another area of improvement. It is amazing how little tips make a monumental difference. I recall riding in the sand once... deep sand, it was impossible, and my brother told me to keep my weight back and don't look down at the wheel. I tore it up after that.

Have to disagree with not clutching to shift. Yes, they are constant mesh but if you don't clutch you are slamming the dog ears on the gears as the shift forks engage the next gear. The gear teeth between the gear pairs on the input shaft and output shaft are constant mesh but not the dog ears that mesh to engage a gear with the input shaft. Not clutching to shift will ware down your dog ears faster. Lots of videos out there showing this.
@dementedspirit13597 жыл бұрын
Ryan Hammerel shifting without clutching is fine, you dont do it while the engine is under a load. It takes practice and timing to do. Only time i clutch when shifting is when im downshifting multiple gears. There are videos that explain and back up what im saying too. What you are doing is going to wear out your clutch and or make it slip. Just to add something else- most if not almost all pro riders shift without clutching. It takes timing but its just fine, when the motor is under load tou will HAVE TO clutch to allow it to shift
@Dtay6307 жыл бұрын
Actually thats not true. Kyle is right. the throttle part doesn't need to happen. what is happening is all the gears inside a dirt bike are spinning at the same speed when shifting(constant mesh transmission) it puts as much stress on the gears as letting go of the clutch real fast would. the tranny is much like a double clutch system in super cars where they have a gear when you pull the paddle sifter it in-gauges an idler gear that gets the next gear up to the same speed before letting go of the paddle sifter to shift to the next gear. thats why they shift so fast. but dirt bikes keep all the gears spinning at the same speed. when your decelerating and you down shift if you pull in the clutch you start free wheeling and loose balance and your inertia that keeps you up right. that tension on your chain helps you balance.

i know exactly how it works. its just like a double clutch just different system. im not saying it doesnt hurt the gears but it doesnt hurt them anymore then it would shifting without the clutch. if you ask any race team they say the same thing. i talked with the motor builder from pro circuit about it he said the hardest thing it is on is the clutch gear on the back of the basket. outside of the case half. i have about 300 hours on a bike shifting with out the clutch and had no issues. including 9 100 mile desert races.

Bend at the waist, try to keep your boots vertical. weight the INSIDE peg with all your weight, let the bike flop to the inside, center your mouth over the outside grip and bend the outside knee forward and grab a handfull. This is how he road all fast bumpy sweepers. I weighted the outside peg for 30 years, because everybody said to, it sucks!

In general, I would go with a 250 either a 2 stroke or 4 stroke. Where you ride, what kind of riding and/or your experience should help in your final decision. If you have friends with different bikes see if you can ride them.

Dirt Bikes & Ice Hockey definitely leaning towards a four stroke because I don't feel like mixing fuel and I want better fuel economy and as far as the train I'm on is in mid to North Georgia so it's really hilly and a lot of clay type of dirt. So between the four stroke 250 and the 450 I was really wondering what would be best for my weight because I am heavier than the average rider
@dirtbikesicehockey47887 жыл бұрын
Austin Turner I will still go with a 250 or even a 350. I do here the new RMX450 is set up perfect for new to intermidiate riders. I think most MX 450s would be too much bike and you won't be happy. Again, I'm not sure if you are going new or used. One of my friends is 6' 2" and over 250lbs and he has an older husky 250 2 stroke and he has no problems in some of our hillier sections we ride. I know it's not the Appalachians but he has no problems. Ever think of a Beta 3 stroke with oil injection? Just a thought. You should be happy with a 250 4 stroke.👍

I bought a dirt bike couple of weeks ago and because I come from mountain biking some of these tips seem natural to me. But on my first rides I was sitting down too much and I don't know why is that because you don't sit down while going hard on mtb either. It just feels like you dont have to stand up because that 300mm of suspension travel has your back on a dirt bike :D But then one of my friends told me to just stand up and now everything is much easier!

Great video! I can whole heartedly back you up especially on the part about keeping you toes pointed in on the bike as well as your knees that tend to fly open when navigating more technical sections. Out here in the northeast we have an abundance of tight rocky single track track that snakes through the trees and even when lugging at low speeds to navigate, unknowingly leaving a foot or knee out can be the difference between ending your day with a stop for a beer and a burger, or a trip to the hospital to mend a twisted up ankle or knee. It happens fast, and healing time for these type injuries can take a long time. Especially when you're old like me!

The only thing I disagree with it bar risers. Some of us are tall with long waist and not so long arms. I’m 6’2” tall and 32” pants are too long. Without risers I’m hunched over without the ability to be straight up when standing. A little bar rise allows me to ride Linder. It’s pretty situational but I wouldn’t be afraid to use them if you are aware of why you’re using them and what the negatives can be.

Hey I was just watching your video. Your top 10 things to make you a better rider. What you said was correct about standing for the most part, but the important thing that you forgot to mention is when you stand you lower the center of gravity to the footpegs. Which lowers and reduces unsprung weight which puts your weight closer to the ground. So your bike is free to move underneath you and will stay more centered and follows the ground better. So as you said standing in the attack position with your knees locked against the tank gives you the ability to actually steer the bike with your trunk you're dorsal. Just sayin.
@m-h12692 жыл бұрын
No, no. Standing does not lower your center of gravity to the footpegs, it actually puts it higher. Your center of gravity is the center point of mass or weight on an object/person. Because you are higher up, your mass follows. Standing up helps because of inertia, basically a taller object is easier to balance than a shorter one, which you can demonstrate by trying to vertically balance a pole on your hand and then a pen.

Ok so I literally am 6 foot 4 and riding normal bars is pretty awkward (2000 yz250 smoker) should I try bar risers? For reference my legs are the long part so I'm TALL tall

Off road bikes should have height adjustments on the fly and suspension lockout on demand.

Is that raising the foot off the pegs thing to get at the rear brake because of the boots? I use high top hiking boots so I am able to lock the rear most of the time with my ankle still on the pegs, do those style boots limit that much movement?
