Sport Bike Tips and Gear : Demonstration of Sport Bike Riding

[nikgrey]

It was said below but I think it's worth saying again - WHERE was the Lifesaver? not a very good example to set.

[Lowsid3r]

Did you really just start the bike not holding thr front brake :(

[chuck2271]

Been riding street for over 20 years. about half my life. front 70% rear 30%. so at 100mph your front is responsible for 70mph - 0. back is 30mph - 0.

That is just an example of course. you would never use your rear alone or more then 30% of the time either. but looking at the example using your front only means your stopping distance is increased.

video was quite useless. he didnt look back and he lurched forward on start. I'm no expert but neither is this guy!!!!

[itzmailtime]

most pointless video ever- New York Times

[jefferydan]

I think its worth mentioning that before he set off there was no lifesaver to check blind spots.

[Tophairybutt]

I agree with 92XJlaredo, yes the rear brake should be used instead of the front brake while riding a motorcycle in the snow, but other than that, there is very little use for the rear brake. It should be noted, when riding your motorcycle in a snow storm, use only the rear brake and not the front brake.

[Sorrow370]

What was the point of this? Newb village sucks....

[Darkuser22]

138k videos :o holy crap!

[ThaBR33D]

nice job starting it in first gear..

[aali0056]

00:35 lol on ur left foot will be your gear shaft lol wot a dumb ass!

[enyeny7077]

@aali0056 hahaha so true

[mooosestang]

Why do people insist on revving a motorcycle.  Assuming the motor is cold, that's not good for it.

[92XJlaredo]

hahah a real sport bike rider uses the rear brake a good amount of the time. yes the front is far more powerful, at the same time front brakes are always more powerful in just about anything. besides its a good habit to get into that way your instincts tell you to use both those brakes in an emergency...this video should prolly be removed before someone who has never ridden before listens to this moron

[marcolotr]

yooo, so what cc was that bike?!

[jackas41]

can someone tell me if it was running? i ride a softy with fish tails and ummm yeah.. this just doesnt seem worth revving like that haha

[PhloBrow]

when riding the front brake is used about 70% of the time while the rear brake is 30% of the time and this guy does look like he is a new rider he reved the bike a lot kinda like he was showing off :p

[Traceman360]

Wow... always use your rear brake except for certain circumstances. such as slick wet roads, it cuts down on ware of your front and gives you a faster smoother stop. Secondly this guy looks like he just started riding, specially by his revs and take off.

[HunterPilot24]

He does look like he just started riding but you are incorrect about the rear brake. The rear brake is used very very little. Using it is much more dangerous than using the front brake.

[Testingpointer1]

did he think we learn alot?

[LEEBLANTYRE]

this guy has no idea how to ride a sports bike,!!

[czikane]

MORDETH 13 is the best teacher!

[The12Nurse]

@czikane F* YEAH HE IS!!!!!!!! LONG LIVE!!

[creatrixash]

use both the front and the rear for smooth breakin..

[HunterPilot24]

You are only supposed to use the rear brake in very special circumatances. A rider should never get into the habit of using it all of the time.

[Migoreng0]

1:05 what an idiot

[ScuderiaBull]

...y?

[Migoreng0]

Your not supposed to rev the bike once you start it up especialy when its cold. This guy is only showing off for the video.

[ScuderiaBull]

The showing off part i get, but when he started it, u can see it was already broke in (not cold),

BTW. the guy looks like hes not capable of riding a bike!

[gold333]

Looks like he was doing just fine to me, what was wrong with his riding technique?

[masterdark354]

how do u know its cold and wuts wrong with showing off lol jk

[TehRacooonODoom]

To allow the engine to warm up evenly. It allows the seals on the cylinders to be stretched in just the right way, causing less wear, and allows the oil to heat up, along with making sure if anything goes wrong it goes wron at lower rpm's instead of high.

[Kadaj100]

@Migoreng0 why ?

[DemonCovenant]

expert village vids on bikes are the worst vids around they dont do anythig the have on the heading of the vid.Especially the stunting vids which just talk about it sorry but that shit useless ..everyone has an idea or opinion on how certain things are done in theory its not to practical side is shown that the thoery has any credit and all comments made by the so called instructors are stated quite different from the best stunters in the world who brake every step down and show you step by step.

[Migoreng0]

Dude what you just said is a fact. Expertvillage are shit a giving tutorials, they dont even help. There clips are short and they dont have time to explain. These are the people that make young riders crash

[supergamerocks]

what bike was that, he was on?

[naldo1212]

hey where is it bettfer to break front or back?

[XxdrSchnagglsxX]

its always better to use both!

[naldo1212]

thankyou

[jacklyw]

Go test out your brakes, Brake with only front and then rear, then both. See, how hard you can stop from I say 30 mph.

P.S. Don't lock up them brakes. Brake easlier first, then step it up when you are making progress. Check surface for sand and oil.

[Scythejumpen]

about 70% of the breakeffect is in the front. but i rather use them both for safety.

[Biguy08]

using both gives u more stability at least from my point of view...

[nadolnyGSXR]

never use the front brake when you're turning, like rasqo3 said use the rear brake to slow down if you're doing a turn too fast, and the front for the basic stop, i personally use about 80% front brake and 20% rear brake.. if you're riding in an unknow street or road, first let the normal motor brake slow the bike down, then use the rear brake, always the rear brake on roads that may have sand and this kind of things

[MyBoogeryBooger]

front brake creates 75% braking power and 25% for the back

[bfmv580]

Front AND back working together is the best way to slow and stop. But front brake in rain or snow, or even an oily patch on the road, if locked up will cause you to skid out from the front and fall over. Just get a feel for the brakes when you get on your bike and start rideing

[kd84afc]

In the uk your taught to always use the front to brake to stop at all times with a little rear braking, But never while cornering, even while doing the emergency stop its still 70% front brake and 30% rear

[xOlIiEkIlLax]

nice bike sounds mean

[grego10r]

u f up u dont use rear brake at all only city riding u can help whit rear brake on hi speed  brakeing dont even use it

[redvision350]

You're supposed to use both brakes. The rear brake is critical if you need to lose speed in a corner since you can't use the front while cornering.

[jacklyw]

It's ok buddy. They don't understand the difference between track riding vs street riding. More of those sucker probably riding squid. Let allow their skillz on the bikes. Let's their faces meet the pavement a few times. People usually learn from the hard way.

[SheerPandemonium]

You have failed expert village. Use your rear brake and your front brake together for maximum stoppage power.

[socmonki]

under really hard braking the rear brake is almost pointless on a sportbike. if you watch races, they routinely lift the rear tire under hard braking, which means the rear brake will give them zero help. its better used to help scrub speed in a turn (used lightly), or for slow speed stops and maneuvers. when doing a normal stop (not hard braking) use the rear brake. but under heavy braking, where nearly 100% of your stopping power is up front, theres no point.

[YukiLT]

It still helps ;).. the new CBR has ABS aswell hehe.

[rasqo3]

you use the rear brake in a turn for slowing down if youre going to fast

[xgotarox]

your comment made NO sense, sorry.

[jessestylex]

i wanna own and ride a bike so bad but im scared shitless. ive never drove any bike.

[me2ontube]

buy and old bike for $500 and take it to the dirt and tear it (and yourself) up - then we you get used to the feel of riding get yourself a better bike - i ride almost every day and i get scared every time i get in the street cuz you never know what cars will do - only a fool isn't scared

[lookahere]

I agree 100%.

[me2ontube]

i forgot to mention that i'm no valentino rossi and can't even dream of pushing the bike to it's full potential and that's the scariest part of all

[lookahere]

Once again, I agree. I've been riding for over 18 years and I still learn something every time I go riding. It's scary to see these first time riders go into the dealership and buy Busas' and R1s for their first bike and then think they are Nicky Hayden after one summer! I see it all to often here in Augusta GA. Many injuries and deaths because of it. For some odd reason, these people think that these machines are mini bikes or something. Until it's too late.

[jordy39]

what you would recommend as a good starter bike?

[lookahere]

A great starter bike would be the Kawi 250 Ninja. Very affordable, light and just enough power to teach you without getting too far out of your personal limits. I would ride that for at least a year before moving up to the 600's. If you wanna go straight to the 600's, I would recommend the pre 2000 Honda CBR or the Yamaha FZR 600. Their power deliveries are very manageable and very forgiving. Leave the 750's and 1000's on up ALONE! Trust me. Ride five years before moving up to those beast.

[jordy39]

thanks mate. before your comment i was a learner looking to buy a R1 but now you've made me ditch that idea.

[lookahere]

Wow! Thank goodness you ditched that idea. The R1 is a serious machine. It's power delivery is instant. Very little room for error. Give yourself a few years of riding and then move up to that. We had a beginner rider here in Augusta last year that bought a 2008 R1 at 1:00pm and was dead at 5:00pm. He had very little throttle control and crashed into a tree. I have ridden the R1,Busa,ZX14 and CBR 1000. They are beasts! Not to be toyed with. 18yrs of riding and they still scare me. Peace

[lookahere]

I need to mention that after 18yrs of riding, I have also had 4 accidents. One very serious that left me with broken ribs and scrapes and bruises. I was out of work for 6 months. One of the guys riding in my group was killed. A motorist decided it would be fun to slam on brakes in front of us. My experience saved me because I was able to maneuver around the car before laying it down. The rider killed had only been riding 2 weeks and was on a GSX1000. He never had a chance.

[jordy39]

Your advice will be passed on to my other 3 friends who are getting their licence at the same time as me. Thank you. I no doubt will have more questions to ask you...hence the friend invite.

[lookahere]

No problem friend. I will be glad to answer any questions you have and if I don't know the answer, I will find it and relay it to you as quickly as possible. I have a ton of friends that are experienced riders. Some even race on weekends. One is a motorcycle cop. In the meantime, please don't get anything over a 600 cc right now. Chat with you soon. Peace

[jacobam1000]

you should try a cbr 600rr.they have great throttle respose and are very confortable.good luck.

[jordy39]

thanks for the tip.

[jacobam1000]

try a 450.

[haireball]

i call the 5th gear the mystery gear. lol im to afraid to put my bike in 5th lol

[kalkosking]

@0247565: Have you ever ridden a sportbike?! When you brake hard, rear break is useless, cause youre lifting the rear tyer, or you lift it almost.

[insanomonkey]

Just buy a CBR 600 ABS, that way you can use rear brake all the time, since it incorporates the front brake automatically whenever you use just the rear brake pedal. Front brake on these is still like on a regular bike, but i would use rear on these bikes anyways. Better safe than sorry.

[Resolveo4]

actually in alot of situations, IF you know what your doing, a bike is better without abs

[yticegoat]

use both brakes in 99% of circumstances. this guy has a some good general tips but he doesnt know everything.

[0247565]

dont listen to this mother fucker never use your front brakes all the way unless u have been rideing for a long time even then its dangerous u use both the front a little more than the back but use both wut the fuck is wrong with this guy hes gunna get someone hurt

[id0ls0rz]

this guy didnt' get his facts straight. you are supposed to brake with both brakes simotaneously every time.

[yticegoat]

absolutely

[whtwhtbro]

your not specific, your not even shit man y the hell do you even bother making videos?? huh y no u have 2 tell me y huhuhhuuhuhhh yyyyyyyyyyy but yyyyyyyy

[BBboyXeroX]

what bike is that???

[motard86tazer]

yamaha R1

[buddybestor]

no its not, its like an fz6 or something like that

[motard86tazer]

no it's not. look through the other videos. he says its a r1

[buddybestor]

that is not an R1, he must not know anything about bikes if thats what he said. For one thing, the R1 always came with that "eagle eyes" front...i'm telling you its not!

[steveoz32]

LIFESAVER!

[prodigy17]

If you look closely he does take a look in his mirror twice before pulling away. Granted, this is still not enough.

[metbandit1]

dude seriously.

you are shit. as premeditate..said you ALWAYS have to look over your shoulder when you pull away. its called the lifesaver for a reason!!

[rodrigonose]

my god!!! how stupid can u be?

dont try to teach things u dont know.

waste of time

[premeditatehead]

when you pull away ALLWAYS look over your shoulder first!!!! FK SAKE CHAD

[DSNCB919]

I thought the back break was most important, I am getting a bike soon to be my first but i kno alot of people that have them and they told me that I should rarley use the front break and especially not being new

[StNige]

Rarely use the front brake???

I'd suggest you get some expert instruction rather than listen to bad advice.

[DSNCB919]

yea I am gonna take the certifed course first

[LITTLENUBSZ28]

you have it exactly backwards. think about it. when you slam on the breaks, the weight of the bike and rider go forward (momentum). if the back brakes were the main brakes you would just slide the ass end of the bike all over the place and then you would be sliding across the ground next to your bike. you really should take a motorcycle class before ever getting on a motorcycle seriously.

[MikenJami]

Incorrect.On a street bike, especially a sport bike it is a bad habit to use the back brake.

[fbpsb82]

You shouldn't use your rear brake heavily while downshifting or cornering as it can lock up the rear wheel and cause a skid.

But when coming to a stop, you should use both brakes.

And I've found a little bit of rear brake is useful in heavy traffic.

[nativebrother]

Yeah...I thought it was going to be about handling a bike and such.

[iEmpire]

This is the most pointless video ever.

[cgavin1]

I'm a little confused: why would anyone with a motorcycle need to know where the front brake, barrel and throttle are?

[batteries1117]

oh, and the 2008 ninja 250 is only 3499$ new.

[hugoballin]

I learned absolutely nothing.

Thanks alot you fuck.

[crickit725]

LOL

[jayguy173]

whats good sport bike for beginner that i can get older one for 4000 dollars

[batteries1117]

get the new 2008 ninja 250. looks hott, is a sports bike, and is great for beginning riders. Oh, and its the only 250 sport bike. Gets about 65mpg and despite idiots posting elsewhere, the bike does fine 70+ on the interstate.

[shanje2006]

I love the sound of this bike at the end. Sport bikes are where its at

[johncowan69]

didnt he say jeans wern't safe enough? why was he wearing them while riding

[sldeyo]

wow! needs a little more instruction. don't assume that the new rider knows everything already. good try though.

[mutters016]

No life saver look over the shoulder - bad chad!! Need to smarten up on those instructor skills.

[Crypthor1984]

Please explain to me Ched or Chad, how do you shift gears? At the and when you left it seems to me like a very very bad gear change. You change with or without the cluch? At low speeds, low revs it's indeed better to use the cluch. But at high speeds and revs it's very RECOMMENDED to shift without the cluch.

[tonor]

that bike has six gears not five

[igotyou62]

lol my last comment was for the guy who said something about being america and look cool doing it too idk why it never showed up in the reply shit fuckin a

[premeditatehead]

all that and he dont look over his shoulder before he pulls away ......bad chad bad chad bad chad!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andrewf128]

gearbox is a little clunky on the older yamahas, you can hear him shifting..

[promnitz]

Fuck me, all that and it comes with a KEY too!

[aspenbighead]

My bike dose not have a key what do i do?.. And if I,m on dirt is it good to use the front brake?

[butterfeetskatecrew]

am...nice bike

[buchoogdelight]

damn... and i thought my instructor was bad!

[dean6553]

filcox, firstly it's our language (hence it is called English and not American) so I think we can do with it whatever we choose, secondly, it is the Americans who are so full of both themselves and shit, just like this video

[bobsasleep]

what a dick .

[diesel5355]

your just mad we kicked your ass in the Revolution.

[dean6553]

So where was the lifesaver check over his shoulder before pulling away? Typical Yank knob- full of shite

[filcox]

Why do the English speak in such gay terms?

[andrewf128]

why do americans think everything is gay? just go on xbox live, they've got gay on the brain or something..

[filcox]

Cause we're America, we can do what we want and still look cool doing it. USA!

[ziz4ever]

and u r government loves u :):))

[igotyou62]

yea and you yanks are a bunch of fat retards dont forget that dude

[filcox]

Europeans stink and have bad teeth. Thanks for playing.

[duggyd55]

we also kicked your ass in the war way back when... thank you

[andrewf128]

avec le french, I bet they regret it now.

[hadoken702]

not suppose to ride with glasses on noob!!! get contacts or laser surgery b4 u wreck and those glasses turn ur eyeballs into shiskabob

[goddardjock]

sport bike? the yamaha yzf 600? not even an R6... this guy wants us to believe he knows what hes doing. he's not doing a very good job.

[filcox]

goddarjock, let me get this straight, you claim that it's not believable that this guy knows what he's doing based solely on the type of bike that he's riding? Man, how does it feel having a pile of shit for brains?

[bobsasleep]

hahahaha damn that was harsh .

[farmedrockfish]

been riding with glasses for over 25 years,

bmw ,harleys, yamaha ect. now riding a 2006 CBR

and yea i still do over 3 digits. go s in your h

[Schlicky44]

ive been riding with glasses for over 3 years now. the way i see it if im goign to crash hard enough to wreck my glasses. my helmets gotta break first, so im dead anyway.

[alienmode]

if you have a teenage son who wants to ride bikes you can show him this video and he probably wont want to anymore. you suck chad

[ablaze6783]

sport bike desmonstration...this is a total amateur!

[leonaidus]

dude ur having trouble starting the bike yourself,u have no clutch sense when u start and ur trying to teach people?

[afgsniper1shot2kills]

??????????????????

[Cawood222]

why whats wrong with wearing jeans? i mean i know leather is supposed to better protect you in case of a wipeout, but other than that whats wrong with jeans?

[alienmode]

jeans will shred like toilet paper at any decent speed. I bailed in a parking lot going 25 when i first started. helmet and leather jacket worked, but my jean covered legs looked like fucking bloody dog food

[AIpha0mega]

lol i be riding with sweat pants.. i cant afford to get the right gear right now so fuck it.

[gsxrkidd]

that bike only has 5 gears? my 250 ninja has 6! although he would probably smoke me

[BleedBLUE87]

im just now thinking about getting into riding. I need to know something. Do u have to squeeze the clutch for every gear u change? and how fast do u usually need to be going to get out of first gear? thanks man.

[jaketinaboxer]

switching out of first gear you half to relize that shift points are diff. on each bike A good way to judge the shift point on a bike is to start off shifting at lower rpm and see how each gear reacts If the bike dogs down then you neen to be at a higher rpm the clutch if your riding on the street your going to use the clutch everytime but if your racing then you can do redline shifting whitch you use no cluch and just bump into the next gear expect to go through gear boxes

[hondadirtbike17]

haha 75% front braking... really?

front brake has 6 piston-calipers while the rear break has only one piston caliper.... lol

thank you captain obvious

[goddardjock]

ok listen. the front brake has a much bigger contribution to stopping because... any guesses? no? yeah it's about the weight shift. when the bike slows down, the rear becomes lighter... why would you use the rear brake for the majority of your braking? all it will do is break loose and wobble. i've seen guys go unconsious from the shaking. front and both used together make for even faster stoping if you are going for best results. happy riding

[flynn6306]

I'm still a "squid" so can somebody tell me the difference of using the front brake compared to the rear brake and it's benefits?

[joe00pimp]

rear brake dont do shit on a bike 75 percent of your stopping power comes fron front brake. front brake has 2 rotors rear has one.

[InlineSIX24]

Thank god for Chad

[SaigonNho]

you guys are fking idiot.. he's being very helpful!!

[samo63]

whats wrong with u ppl he just tryed to help u

by : colin edwards moto gp racer

[alone1083]

ass hole!!!

[aannkk]

stfu

[syddws]

Maybe you shouldn't wear jeans idiot.

[faijerbleed]

where's ur leather pants??

[partysthlm]

Make a instruction how to Weeli....We need that on YOUTUBE :)

[br6efoex]

What's the point of this demonstration? It's like a Ponty Python sketch - How to play the flute: you blow in one end and move your fingers up and down the outside.

Wasting my time should be a criminal offence.

[chrissegur]

I think this guy wants a topic so he can post stuff online....b/c ppl who motorcycle already know this and for ppl who don't know...he talks too fast...still not a bad series of videos though

[macignition]

I love the sound of the motor ...what type of bike is it...yamaha... a YZF or FZR looks kinda like a FZR

[V5RCB]

YZF1000 Thunderace ?
