well i have a question about the gears. ok so how would you knwo when its in 1 neutral 2nd 3rd and so on? like will you feel it click? will you push down with the bottom of your foot to get into first? and then pull it up to go to 2nd?
@vinnie291 you can feel the gear lever click up or down depending on whether you shift up or down. as far as knowing what gear you are in its just a matter of remembering. some higher end bikes show you the gear you're in on the Tach.
I have a question concerning the throttle. Let's say you move the throttle to half its maximum deflection, does that mean the engine will try to get RPM's to half of max RPM?
I'd like to thank you blinky, i'm french and i'm now doing my license, but you have been my 1st teacher until now, and for my 1st lesson, i already knew how to ride...well,almost. =) thank you, really.
Great video, I have never been on a motorcycle, but growing up we had a dirtbike. So I am famillar with the clutch....but that was when I was around 12-15ish and im 31 now..
Hey Soft Cock ,your video is Crap !! And you are no bike rider,your skill's are crap,your observation is Crap, road craft is Crap, I will look out for you on the road's of Brisbane, If you are still alive I will give you some Pro ride tips for free .
Just wanted to say I enjoyed your motorcycle "How to's" videos. Been riding a road bike but not sure if I wanna do this or not but.............good information. I like how you taught it all. Really understandable.
Hey Blinky! Can't you do a review over the things you wear when you ride? Talk little bit about your helmet, jacket and so on? Thanks a lot if you do!! :)
@stellaspeed10 That comment was obviously not intended to become a top comment. Simply something I felt like sharing. I do have a life. and you added an unnecessary 'r' in you
@coloricanking Even if it isn't top comment it's still a stupid thing to say like REALLY. It's like if I post a comment on a video called how to drive a car and I said I bean driving a car for 14 years now but I still like to look at these videos. If someone say then Jackass get a life it's 100% true!
Dude, those things teach me when I make the bike school, so I can't drive a motorbike until I know this things. I mean...you repeat what my instructor told me when I did bike school. But I like your explications. Cheers, 1+
Hey guy's how old are you supposed to be to ride a motorcycle? I want a 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6. I'm only 14. 5'8 and 215 lbs. In two more years i will get my Drivers license. I REALLY WANT A BIKE! Is it easy to ride, like a bicycle? I rode those pocketbikes which is easy to ride. I also want it because i want to get some babes in my school. I will probably be the only one riding a motorcycle in my school.
@F5Twister12 Can you tell me some things on it? And how much is a decent Sports bike is? like i said i wanted the 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6 REALLY AWESOME BIKE! better than the BMW bike. Well in my opinion.
I'm 6'3 210lb. I want the honda cbr600rr. But my pops recommends a 250. I personally think it will be to small and uncomfortable. And power to weight. I'll weigh the bike down. What do you think? Can anyone help me out a little, I would really appreciate it.
Once you get used to where the friction zone is on your bike, do you still need to let the clutch out slowly to that point or can you just jump to that point without stalling? Also, it seems the friction point on my 250 is at about 95% of the clutch fully open. Is that normal?
@iktus666 why would you want to know the top speed? it's just a 250, if you want speed go for a 600 or more... this is not the type of machine that you go to autobahn with
ah, ok sounds simple enough lol. Thanks man i appreciate it. Keep up the good work iv'e been re-watching your videos like crazy till I get it down to a science.
in uk be careful with the killswitch when your doing your test ... The instructors 60% of the time will turn off your killswitch WITHOUT you knowing, and then ask you to start your bike. They will then ask you why it's not starting. Check the Key is on then the killswitch is set to the "do not kill the bike" mode (i don't know wether it is off or on)
Then check that your pulling in the clutch to start ( some bikes need this)
@23ferrari a brand new ninja 250 costs between 6.5k to 7.2k (australian dollars) (add an extra 200 for the green special edition) i believe about 4k in america
@blinkycab Hey bro im very very curious which are those gloves you wear, and how much do they cost? Its an older vid so can u suggest me some similar to those that you can buy now? peace
