[@brianseas8903]

Tremonte , Thanks for these basic instructions however, when is it ever safe to ride without gloves? I'm always used to the feel and control while wearing gloves, just in case the unexpected crash happens.

[@DaBudaa1]

Ever considered becoming a MSF instructor?

[@MeBallerman]

Hey there. I have learned that there are quite a ton of American vids "how to ride a bike", "how to deal with clutch" and such, just like your own video here. All fine, but... It makes me wonder. I'm Danish, and in my country, Danmark, (and every other European country I ever heard of), you need a drivers license for motorcycle if you want to ride a motorcycle. A license for a person's car (B category) is not good enough for riding a bike, you will have to take a FULL driver's license for motorcycle, the theory, the practice - this normally takes a few months. It doesn't help you that you already have yourself a driver's license for a car, it will buy you exactly zero merit - you still need a full mc license, as if you didn't have a car license in the first place. But I guess it's different in the USA?? - You opened your vid by saying there are lots of people in your country stalling their motorcycle when trying to ride off from a traffic light. This of course is a clear sign that they didn't pass a drivers license test. - Either because they simply bought their bike without caring to take a license for it (and now ride (or try to ride lol) illegally) - OR that you don't need a motorcycle driver's license in the USA. If it's true you don't need an mc license - not clever, not clever at all. Close to 100% of the American population took their driver's license in a car with automatic tranny. So Americans in general can't drive a car (The USA - home of the motor car - but they cannot drive) - And then they buy themselves a motor bike (!!!) - a killer machine with performance enough to send you in eternal orbit around Saturn. In Europe you learn to drive in a car with manual transmission in the driver school. If you later would like a license for a motorbike, you already know what there is to know about clutching, it's just situated another place, and is controlled by hand instead of feet. But we still need that license to drive legally, and have to through it all, in full. I mean, I wondered about all the American "how to motorcycle" vids in the first place, and even more funny/strange - if I go to your comments section, there are many people thanking you, how you helped them learn it. Good for you (congratz) - but deeply idiotic. If one doesn't know how to ride a bike - GO TO YOUR DRIVER SCHOOL. PASS A TEST. DO NOT MOUNT A MOTORBIKE UNTIL YOUR DRIVING TEACHER SAY OK. STAY OFF OF PUBLIC ROADS UNTIL YOU PASSED THE TEST. If you took the license - fine, but then I don't understand why vids like yours exist? - They should be 100% unnecessary.

[@Tremonte]

@@MeBallerman I agree, but unfotunately it's too easy here to get a motorcycle and be able to ride legally on the streets. The basic requirement? It's a simple written test of like, 15-20 questions to get a leaners permit. This allows anyone, over the age of 16, to take any size motorbike on the highways. The only restriction is to not carry passengers. Crazy yeah? That's why videos like this exist. It's the hope that people will take riding serious, and find a safe place to practice before getting into traffic because most aren't going to take riding classes since they aren't required to. And you are also correct in saying most can't drive a manual automobile here. I joke with people saying my cars being all manuals, are anti-theft devices since few people seem to know how to drive them anymore.

[@MeBallerman]

@@Tremonte Thanx for answering me. Yeah, with the knowledge you just provided me here, it's easier to comprehend the existence of vids like yours. Written test questions... "You drowned a full bottle of Scotch 10 minutes ago, and feel dizzy. Will it be safe to mount and ride your motorcycle A: Right away - B: Wait half an hour - C: I wait 24 hours in the very least before I ride." Fun aside, I guess you'd be obliged to take a full motorcycle license if you don't have license for a car (hypothetical for most Americans, they have driver's license for car)

[@alexarder202]

I’m a new rider myself and I stalled so many times. I stalled on a busy roundabout and on a turn to college with a steep up hill with speed bumps. Took me 5 mins with cars piled behind but lucky the lady behind was kind and patient enough and told me to take my time. At the end I pushed it to the side of the road and let the car pass me. The most embarrassing thing ever 😂😭

[@dondeka2086]

I stalled my bike once, on third gear, when i stall it the first time i didnt downshift, stalled it again i downshift but only once, stalled it again and i downshift till its first gear, or thats what i think it is, its actually neutral, i pulled the clutch, start the bike, release the clutch, nothing happens, very cringe moment, car behind me was honking aggressively

[@mustbescud]

I just did that today, but on leveled ground. One day ill practice hills lol

[@nicknatoli3450]

Same it’s really anxious when your in the front of everyone at a red light 😬

[@quituguav]

Feel your pain just got a bike didn’t stall but slow take of I need to practice more

[@khrisstake2210]

I avoid traffic as much as possible right now

[@Baldsohard365]

Thank you. I am a new Rider and live on the street with a slope. I stalled over and over trying to leave my block and the sword of stopping at red lights with cars behind me gave me anxiety. I watched several videos, and took the msf course, and nobody explained it as simply and effectively as you did. Works perfectly on the first try and now I have my confidence back. Thank you again

[@Tremonte]

jose cruz Awesome! Glad I was able to help. Ride safe!

[@drrhousley]

I'm still new at riding

[@toycripps795]

Omg me too...I panic and getting the bike started is twice as hard when I'm in that state

[@korbendallas71]

This is me now. Same anxiety at lights and traffic on inclines . Can really spoil the enjoyment. This vid really helps

[@tGug4real]

super new to riding and being at a red light with cars behind me is the stuff of nightmares at my current skill level. once im off and running i have no problem at all and I am fine at cruising speed. i just stall at a red light and then I get frustrated and anxious with cars behind me so i stall again. I and going to practice the technique over and over to help take the anxiety of stalling away so i can enjoy the cruise... THank you so much for this video!

[@stickylava]

i feel this so much just started riding yesterday

[@connormoyle2807]

1 year on how do you feel ? I’ve just started riding myself and I’m in the exact same boat, I know exactly what I’m doing wrong yet I just can’t snap out of the habit of letting the clutch out too fast, I’m sure it’ll come to me😂😂

[@Mildaaa-u3n]

I feel you. I had my second driving lesson today. First one was on a parking lot to practice. Today I was on one bike with my instructor, and I thought he will take me to some village and let me drive there. Oh boy was I wrong. He told me, to drive to that village, turn around, and return. And of course, I got really frustrated with him sitting right behind me. I was so frustrated when I had to stop somewhere and then make the bike move again. I mostly managed to do it. But at the last turn, the really last turn before my destination, I was under so much pressure I couldn't get the bike to move. It would always die. Next time I will do it like on this video!

[@tGug4real]

1 year on and stalling is no longer a problem. I ride every single day, weather permitting. In March, before the state on the world went sideways, I rode from San Diego to Palo Alto. This video helped build my confidence in the beginning stages of riding. Cheers again for the great technique

[@mustbescud]

Just stalled today at a red light. Anxiety kicked it too, and i couldnt problem solve on the spot. So I switched hazard light button and let them pass lol. After I took a breath found out my bike was on 2nd or 3rd gear lol. Keep practicing guys, we'll get there!

[@ryanandrewsaunders3652]

Best video I have ever seen. That camera angle best in KZbin.

[@drivingkermit8286]

I know I’m late but this is one of my only problems on a motorcycle and I’ve been studying on how to help myself out with it. Thank you for showing my what to do

[@donal_24k]

One the best video out here should of been at the top of the search results 💯💯💯

[@onkgopotseraphela9608]

Thanks sir much love from South Africa. I too am a short guy and you motivate me to ride motorbikes regardless of my 5 foot 3 height.

[@15iloveguitar]

Amazing informative video, thank you! Most people say "listen to the bike" tf am I listening for though. So when you said listen for the RPM's to drop, I knew right away this was the one video people need. Thanks again!

[@Tremonte]

You're welcome! Glad it could be of use to you.

[@15iloveguitar]

@@Tremonte I haven't stalled once since I watched this video. Got close but I knew what to do thanks to your video. Can't thank you enough man ✌

[@Tremonte]

@@15iloveguitar Awesome! Glad it helped!

[@abiliyk35]

Hands down the best video on how to NOT stall. After watching your video, I never stalled again. I listened for the RPM's and that was the trick that helped me. Thanks for the video!!!

[@FrapachinoPlz]

Best clutch vid ever That cam angle helped a lot buddy Cheers !

[@Tremonte]

+Patrice Regis you're welcome!

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Can you put adjustable clutch levers on any bike or is it a standard feature??

[@miafermindoza1973]

Solid advice, thank you so much for sharing. I appreciate the close up camera angle -- it was key to the effectiveness of the lesson -- and the sound was excellent in picking up the RPMs. - new rider

[@Tremonte]

+Mia Fermindoza you're welcome. Glad you found it useful.

[@MrDbro94]

Definitely going to try this. I just bought a ninja 650 as my first bike and stall quite a bit taking off.

[@dengsanchez3391]

lmao i can relate to you

[@AvengingFade]

Just bought a dirt bike for the kids and they are having a hard time with the clutch, I think this vid will help them immensely, thanks !

[@korbendallas71]

Thanks for this , I'm a new older rider. Had a lot of incline stalling today and the associated roll back panic. This has helped a lot. Just practice practice practice . Just subscribed. Hello from ireland

[@RichiXEats]

I love it I’m a new rider, just got my bike thank you for uploading!

[@cloudy1923]

Passed my CBT yesterday. Hopped on my Lexmoto Venom 125cc today, could NOT get the gears at all at first lol. Tried again later after watching your video and nailed it every time! Keep up the ace content, you really did help perfectly! Thank youu!

[@fishwatch8677]

Am I right that with the smaller bikes like 125’s you need to apply a little throttle before you release the clutch at all?

[@leefypk]

Loving that shirt, brother. The section about RPM was very informative too-- I've never seen that mentioned in any other shifting vids.

[@den2ofoz]

New rider here. And so confused about the clutch thing. I don't drive a manual car so yah. But thanks for this. Now I need to practice this to get rid of my stalling . Cheers! And subbed.

[@Nobody913.]

Really don’t know why you don’t have more subscribers! Love the content!

[@justtheooo1248]

This is a very helpful and straight to the point tutorial. I am getting my very first sportbike next week and i am transitioning from a scooter. This really helps me understand since I am really wondering on when should I apply throttle and how not to slide back if i have to stop on sloped roads.

[@97Drake]

Thank you so much for this! The clutch has been my enemy so far

[@renostubbs8504]

You are a great help man,I couldn't get pass the stage the other day,I became frustrated, then I saw little boys ride by,that didnt help my confidence. However,I will not give up

[@pakpaker6564]

Im a new rider. Your video helped me a lot. Im always confused about clutch timing. Now i know the clutch first then throttle. Which i did was always opposite. No wonder i got plank on my 2nd day of practice. It helped a lot a men. Philippines

[@TheRedster79]

extremely helpful video. you’ve got my subscribe. i’m a new rider and am struggling with easing off the clutch. this helped tremendously

[@bikeysingh3841]

This video literally help me a lot thanks 🙏

[@nickyarrojo2925]

Nice tutorial very helpful for aspiring motorcycle drivers.

[@benignoparaisu4869]

I see now.... thank's. I have problems with uphill roads, and it is a pain when i don't know how to start on an uphill road, i got panicked and releasing the clutch too fast.

[@Dani231184]

love your vids, keep publish them! I bought a Z650 about a month ago, and installed the R&G fender eliminator inspired by you. I also ordered the OES sliders kit cause I watched your video about it.. oh and a R&G radiator guard... It would be great if you'd do a video about gear shifting!

[@michaelcallisto]

I have a motorcycle lesson tonight. Gonna try this out! I stalled so often during my last one.

[@LC-yo3bj]

Perfect way to teach this man, thanks

[@Chloemuswagon]

Omg this helped me soo much! Ran out and hell yeah! Didn’t stall and learning to listen to her purr

[@renostubbs8504]

Thank you for sharing, how about when you turn around, would you do the same thing?

[@Tremonte]

Yep. Keep the throttle steady and modulate the clutch to control speed.

[@renostubbs8504]

@@Tremonte Thank you so much, man.

[@ya_boi_zak5927]

Never rode on a bike but I know how to drive manual on a car so it's similar when it comes to the clutch play. Would like to learn it looks fun.

[@zechariah8845]

im going to try these tomorrow

[@hollandbamboo764]

You are awesome brother 🙌🙌

[@ap.7237]

I will try this. Thanks for the tip! 😀

[@jcsdesign]

Did your bike start to overheat by doing this video? I know with my bike if I were stationary for that long, the temperature gauge would be at full and the fan would be running.

[@Tremonte]

+Jeff C.S the fan came on, but it cycled like it's supposed to.

[@eviecollins46]

This was so so helpful!!!

[@arp5156]

I am professional rider. Perfect clutch explanation keep it up👍

[@SkepticalGuy99]

I find it easier to just give a bit of throttle before moving the clutch and then slowly release clutch. Because you move from a stop quicker

[@2nmingo]

great tips thank you so much i stalled my bike so much i was starting to get annoyed lol

[@MP-nf9qz]

Nice video, very informative..

[@gbfantjr]

Can you make a video on how to get going quickly at a light?

[@James-tt7vg]

What you really showed was how to start your bike while on a hill using the clutch method over the rear brake method.!...Good video either way.

[@edmarcoslima4207]

When you're moving off on a hill, do you use both brakes or just the front one?

[@LSDdreams808]

I dont ride a motorcycle but i rife a yamaha raptor an this video really helps

[@lynseyjohnson3230]

I'm a new rider and everytime I slow down I stall I ended up pushing my bike back not far but it's getting frustrating as I have great pull off balance get round tight corners etc but keep stalling when I slow down I know it's my clutch control

[@camicazzi3187]

this really helped man, thsnkyou 🤘

Good advice thanks.

How do you put a clutch which is almost fully out into friction zone ?

Are you from North Carolina?

[@125Rcc]

How to come to a stop on first gear when theres traffic without stalling? 😭i did twice am super nervous i got a honda cbr125Rcc

I find my self stopping at lights in 2nd gear because first gear is so torquey I don't want deal with except for in creeping traffic. Is this ok?

[@chadcoronel5334]

That was very helpful... thanks...

[@gaid81]

perfect thank you

[@jordanminnis6865]

My bike stalls if I let go of the clutch (I’m not dumping t he clutch) I have to keep the revs high to get it to stay running when I ease off the clutch. Do I just have an old motorcycle it’s an 83 or do I have a clutch issue. Like I have to give it throttle to get it to move without stalling.

[@fofivecaliber7915]

Nice video

[@trentinalderman1079]

Is it the same concept for dirtbikes? I just bought a xr250r and stall almost every other time i start

[@Tremonte]

It is. This will work for any vehicle with a manual transmission. Listen for the engine RPM's to drop or watch your tachometer in a car/truck. That's when you are ready to start moving by gently applying throttle, then continue to slowly release the clutch.

[@trentinalderman1079]

Tremonte ok thank you great video and probably the best camera angle ive seen for a clutch video

[@Tremonte]

You're welcome!

[@Lilsaint89.]

What kind of clutch is that because mine doesn't have the changer on it where you can move it forward and backwards it's only in one position

[@funkbros3141]

So ur supposed to release clurch prior to gas then?

[@MrKeepit1k]

Thanks helped alot

[@zhny1077]

What happens if you give a lot of gas when the clutch is just starting to be in contact? Will the bike start/move faster?

[@tingjin2313]

The red colour button what its call actually .the one for flashing the light one

[@ordillyo2749]

Thanks 👌😊

[@tibetanarmy]

Nice bike

[@BestEmulator]

Which motorcycle is this?

[@Tremonte]

Kawasaki Z650

[@harryc6181]

Heck yeah

[@wagagagaggag]

Can the motorcycle stall when you switch from 1st gear to 2nd gear? I see many people just release their clutch real fast from 1st to higher gears, should I add a little throttle whenever I switch clutch?

[@Bikersham]

wagagagaggag nope.. it only stalls in 1st once you start moving (if you didn't release the clutch slowly ofc)

[@007leonard1]

i am forever greatfull

+Bryc Maximo thanks. Appreciate it!

I'm a beginner with only a permit. I have a Kawasaki z400 and know how to ride but I have nobody to ride with. All there is is a school and fire station to practice at. Looks like it's me vs me 🤔

[@speedyprocrastinator]

Thanks.

[@TerryBollea1]

This is first thing taught in BRC. Im guessing you made this for people who didnt take the BRC, but if they dont know this, then how did they pass their liscense test??

[@Tremonte]

+TerryBollea1 in most states you don’t have to have a license test to ride. You simply pass a written test of 20 questions and get a learners permit. Scary right? But yeah, this video came about from a friend and myself watching a guy stall out several times on a slight hill.

[@MungoBiker]

Using the back brake is better so you can wrap the fingers around the throttle instead of over the front brake....😉

[@evans2162]

Damn. I wasted so many days stalling when all I had to do was watch your video.

[@mrmahina9890]

do we need to press clutch and backshift to gear 2 if youre on gear 3 or 4(twice) when stopping at the traffic light .. ? or just let it stay on gear 4 thn release the clutch slowly while pull the throttle when you start to move .. ?

[@Tremonte]

+Hazim HM you will stall in 4th gear at a stop. Always down shift and use the clutch

[@salvayap6058]

this is learning thanks i have an idea now. nive 1

i dont have clutch bike but still wanna watch haa

[@vangelicest4183]

Why wouldn't it be worth it? If you have the right license then you are good to go

[@bransondewese7194]

Does anyone have a reason for why my bike shut off abruptly as I used both brakes and brought it to a stop? Thanks.

[@Tremonte]

Or maybe he didn’t use the clutch when applying the brakes, and the bike stalled.

[@chantolosa]

Just like a car, motorcycle runs in a biting point too

[@no81wareagle37]

What if you give throttle before you release the clutch and release the clutch while giving throttle

[@Tremonte]

+no81wareagle that’s typically what you do once you learn where the friction points are, or more so, you will be giving throttle and releasing clutch at the same time. For this demonstration, it’s better to learn the friction point and release the clutch first to prevent dumping the clutch and the bike surging forward, which could lead to a dropped bike. I’ve seen a lot of beginners that has happened to.
