How much weight does it take for you to be able to shift gears? Or how much person does it take?
Comment from : @franciscocabral7350

Depends on your bike if you ride on a 125 you will most likely have to give it throttle while slowly pulling out your clutch to not stall or be jerky
Comment from : @notricu

My question is when i practice especially going down a gear lets say from 4-2 do you have to hit the breaks as well? Because when i go to throttle after it starts to scream Im really having trouble there and my father (who got me into biking) doesn’t understand what im trying to say
Comment from : @locoMS

I learned way more here than I did at msf! Gems!
Comment from : @kalikillz

If i let the clutch out before i get back on the gas, wont i start engine braking? Shouldnt i be letting the clutch out and rolling on the throttle at the same time?

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast

Comment from : @Rebel_500

took the msf course and they only taught us clutch ctrl and barely up shifting jus bought my first bike (N650) and my downshifting is horrendous this cleared it up a lil tho
Comment from : @kadoewrld-3549

I’m so mad that the first videos about down shifting mention Rev matching, I thought that was the only way to downshift, ridiculous that’s so much
Comment from : @freesoul2895

Yo, have you considered doing asmr? Your voice tone it's relaxing (not gay related)
Comment from : @xXx_sasuke_uchiha_xXx

You don’t have to pull the clutch all the way in Just find the friction zone I do agree it’s different for every bike but you don’t have to pull all the way in
Comment from : @timcrews-hill2708

9:35 💯 slow down the bike 🏍 first
Comment from : @Painttoexpressnotoimpress

Do I need to start accelerating at the clutch point while releasing the clutch lever after shifting into higher gear, or should I be accelerating after fully releasing the clutch?
Comment from : @Pendigoo

Best video I have seen 0n shiftingand riding Appreciated! A must watch many times
Comment from : @rioguzmanc

ive never thought of it as right side is braking and left side is gearing for some reason, but that randomly helps
Comment from : @bigdaddyd-rk9pn

Wow, video is amazing Think and act slow with your hands is a huge help Keep up the great videos
Comment from : @petergenter7093

Like how u explained rev matching when it’s actually needed
Comment from : @vontetate

Comment from : @PaulWalton-g1p

You are a great teacher bro I appreciate all of your content
Comment from : @cvflyboy

Thank You so much for this video!!
Comment from : @scallywhiskey

had a lesson for gears recently and he taught me to change gears with high rpms (without releasing the accelerator) felt wrong, sounded wrong was uncomfortable AF until i just did what felt a bit more natural, now im here, thankyou!
Comment from : @crazyeggman

That's a good thing you've donebrVery helpful
Comment from : @mykhaylo806

Finally, someone explained this in layman's terms and I totally agree and understood 👍 Thanks dude 🤘 19:50
Comment from : @KCKEEN

This is the best bike in the world!
Comment from : @anonymous4040

Dcts are gonna clean up shop in the coming decade Once more manufacturers follow Hondas dct in the bigger bikes and it’s looking that way
Comment from : @TheIrishKiwi84

Best tutorial on gear shifting No confusion!
Comment from : @mikeyramone33

Great Video Thanks for explaining blipping, as a new rider it was confusing the hell out of me, but as you say its not required if your speed is dropping by rolling off the throttle Also thanks for explaining downshifting multiple gears in one go on the fly, saves a lot of time
Comment from : @alecleonce8414

Will this process be the same gor any bike Like a 2015 kawasaki vulcan s 650
Comment from : @adrianbermudez3841

dont you have to relese throttle when shifting gears?
Comment from : @hatasaki

Do you always have to fully release the throttle to 0 or can you go to like 10?
Comment from : @neigecapalot

Excellent presentation Hope not to burn through my second clutch job too soon again Thank you
Comment from : @edgarescandar3944

THANK YOU!brIm a new rider here
Comment from : @1982pantro

Thank you so much
Comment from : @MahfuzAlom-p5z

If straightforwardness has a face, that’s you I have never seen any video such to the point like this! Thanks man- i was struggling with my first bike and gear shifting This video hinted some major improvements
Comment from : @Dhkbd2024

I've started going to motorcycle course and I've just realized how shit my instructor is I told him I never rode a bike before, never sat on one, not the best bicycle rider, never rode a moped or anything he sat me on yamaha 07 and told me it's similar like a car, he shifted to first gear and told me to go I was like "are you sure?" but yeah I fell ofc and and he was surprised I fell??brBut yeah, I've learned so much more watching this video! Thank you!
Comment from : @squonk_6834

im about to get my insurance mere days for Ninja 400 2023 and this video is the only video I found that slowly descriptively explained all the shifting Ty Very helpful Others were too quick
Comment from : @BAHDK

Great video for new riders! The only thing I do differently is that I do downshift because it’s safer to stay in gear for when traffic starts moving again or if someone behind you isn’t paying attention Do you have a more advanced video showing how to float gears/clutchless shift with a bike that has a normal clutch? I have one showing me floating gears but I don’t explain how to because it’s not for beginners
Comment from : @DustySteelGarage

I would just like to ask with regarding shifting up the gears On releasing the clutch slowly must it be released completely before putting on the gas ? Or can you release the gas just before releasing the clutch completely?
Comment from : @craig9143

No matter what I’ve tried, my down shifting is pretty bad I have only gotten up to 3rd gear (29 mph) and that was by accident… smh I just want it smoother before I venture outside of my neighborhood …
Comment from : @Visual-Special0930

It's a great explanation brother
Comment from : @joaobarbosa6392

Ok finding the friction zone by walking the bike while letting go of the clutch is such a top their tip Like it makes total fucking sense but I just never thought about it They should totally make this part of the MSF course Just add it on the the beginning basics shit, it would take 2 secondbr10/10
Comment from : @Stop_It_Just_Stop

Hands down best video for beginners
Comment from : @radiant_toe

Great advice but bro sounds like chace crawford or am I tripping
Comment from : @carloshenry1117

Try to make the suspension not work That is the best comment takeaway
Comment from : @TehFeralPanda

Very good video Keep on making them
Comment from : @rbtuby4860

Best video yet!!!!
Comment from : @levelstolife4616

Thanks
Comment from : @kamudankemter

Best instructional video ive watched you really got a talent for this Thanks again
Comment from : @zainali-gu3mj

Very well explained Thank you
Comment from : @karthikrajendran3394

Thank youu 🫶🫶 this was perfect! I felt rushed during the MSF course and didn’t fully grasp shifting til the last day This really helped and reassured me that I don’t need to rush shifting (also the first time I’ve actually understood rev matching even though you only mentioned it for a second lol)

Learning how to ride motorcycle like learning how to play drums, both hands and both feet, keep practicing
Comment from : @KingKong-wv6is

Second time ever on a motorcycle and smoothly shifted to 2nd gear for the first time while saying out loud “no gas, pull in the clutch, shift, ease out the clutch, give it gas” 🤗 Thank you for the great video!!

I just wanted to thank you immensely for your video It helped me so much in shifting my bike
Comment from : @AshleyPenny-o2e

My dad's been riding for years teaching me now bike has no speedometer or anything and this the best explained video 🎉
Comment from : @terekmcgurk3109

Coming from a competitive cycling background and looking to take the msf course to get my m1 and you answered all my questions on how the clutch interacts with the bike and shifting multiple gears at once Super thorough
Comment from : @davidmycota

very,very helpful for beginners like meThank you🤩
Comment from : @ronya3587

New driver here Well explained! Thank you
Comment from : @ItanoMohammed

I do driving lessons and my instructor never told this and this is much better while shifting Normal if i shift i let the clutch go if i down shift than i get everytime a shock or something because i was going to fast I appreciate it
Comment from : @hxce

Thank you man this helps me a lot am a beginner got my first bike on 7-11-24 a Harley Davidson and this video helps me cuz I killed the bike a few times doing the things you said not to do lol and it gives me more understanding on the release of the clutch and hitting the throttle
Comment from : @MarioPerez-rp3ro

Hi @MotoJitsu I am beginner started learning recently,it's only been 6 days so far I will try what you taught in my next lesson Thank you for explaining in this manner I am a noob in this, its makes sense Thanks again
Comment from : @thebipolarwolf6747

I drove manual cars for years and learned to drive in a manual car at 14 years old Dad made me drive it home after just 1 hour of practice, lolbrIm hoping having that experience will help me to ride during my msf course next week
Comment from : @12_inch_spinnerz

If you’re in any gear but 1st and neutral, when you slow to a stop via red light or what not can you stay in that gear or is it a must to downshift to 1st
Comment from : @SHD_Agent6514

This is SO good at explaining things at an essential level from someone who has actually experienced riding and wants to teach what is needed to be known Helps that the whole video is from the perspective of someone who's actually ON a motorcycle

Comment from : @katwhite9066

Beginner here! Glad I came across this video Super helpful:)
Comment from : @rikkid247

Do you press up at the very same time you pull in the clutch ?or you pull the clutch and than press up to chance to second gear ?
Comment from : @nicoramirez2937

Man, nice parking lot Thats Cali for ya
Comment from : @pipersall6761

Leaned how to ride my cbr 250r in 4 hours, no previous experience with no manual car or a dirt bike, it’s all about finding the friction zone & shift through those gears slowly on a street with little to no traffic

Comment from : @walkemdown5040

Every bike is different & clutch's are temperamental But this is a good start for sure👍
Comment from : @elviscollector

Comment from : @BobSwagget

Comment from : @BongiKhozen

Very nice Appreciate this
Comment from : @mikecripps2011

Okay so i know most say get a feel of the bike and try not to look down , but when switching from 1st gear to 2nd, whats a good mph I should be going? i seen you were between 7-10mphis that a good range to switch?
Comment from : @ShaundonProductions

Comment from : @MrTeathius

I got a brand new bike and upshifting and downshifting is such a pain
Comment from : @deadfox2018
