How to Ride a Motorcycle for the Very First Time!

Alright, regarding the braking issue...a few people have said that you should learn to use both brakes from the beginning......and I agree. But just not the VERY beginning. Because the VERY FIRST time you use a bike it's confusing enough without two different brakes being thrown in....one of which if pulled too hard can drop the bike on it's side in a flash. So the point of this video is to learn how to use the clutch....and while focusing on that....it's best to just focus on that. And when moving at a very slow speed and coming to a complete stop.....you should be braking rear 90% and front 10%. Which is the opposite of how you brake when traveling at speed.

"I'm about to turn 42 and bought a motorcycle a week ago. I always wanted to ride one but never did and figured my time for trying new things is running out.

Until now, I have had zero luck getting my bike on the road. Time after time, I'd let out the clutch, lurch forward a foot and stall out. I haven't taken my motorcycle instruction class yet, but my experiences so far left me feeling too incompetent to ever drive the thing.

I've talked to a number of my friends who have bikes, and none of them gave me any useful advice. Your video, however, let me get it going in first gear. I actually moved the bike without lurching and stalling.

I just wanted to say thanks."

@AleksandrsLV Another way to put it.... When in neutral, you will know not to leave it there bc it feels like the pedal is "dangling"... if that makes any sense? Hope it helps!

[ssvashstampede]

@AleksandrsLV I know it may seem confusing but once you get on a bike & go through the training course it's NOT as difficult as you think.

1st gear is pushed all the way down like a 45 degree angle downwards.

Neutral (like he said) is like a HALF of a click upwards. It's hard to explain but, yes, you will definitely feel it in your feet when you go from 1st to 2nd bc it LOCKS into place when you hit 2nd. You can feel it "glide" past Neutral bc that gear feels like there is nothing there.

[AleksandrsLV]

One thing I don't get is how changing gears with your feet work, so lowest is first, then one click up is neutral then another is second? That sounds like changing from 1st to 2nd to be quite a challenge as you might end up in neutral? Or does each click kind of like slide into place and it's easy to tell?

Wow, before hitting play, I'm here thinking, God, I'll never get this, but it seems fairly practical and I can't wait to slowly and safely learn my new bike :P
