Comment from : @Andros_here

Hey all A simple question for you guys to pick a little fight ^^ brIt has been quite some time I rode a bike Now I got myself a Z125brWhat is the MINIMAL rpm for a healty and smoothly running engine? (Asume a straight smooth road, no special manoovers I'm aware, that acceslarating, uphill, etc will need increased rpm)

Comment from : @Miles-192

You need too teach is how to start riding a GSXR 600 OR 750 for a beginner bike or a Ninja ZX 6r 400 isn't worth the money when you're going to switch in 3 tob

So what happens when you are still applying throttle when upshifting? Will it hurt the bike?
Comment from : @Commander_Shepard2000

Great thanks so much
Comment from : @JohnMugarura-b6u

Hey, just about to buy my first ever bike and just saw your videos Already they have definitely made the decision easier Any thoughts on a good beginner bike? I was told by some friends that the ninja 650 is a really good starter but I feel 649cc might be too much since this is my first time
Comment from : @d3montaco21

Looking into owning a motorcycle Second vid of yours I watch, excellent demonstration Literally reminded me of when I started learning to drive my first car a manual, same concept applies
Comment from : @Bar2ula

doesnt it ruining the bike if youre shiffting up while not being in the speed that gear needs? no hate iam just planning to do a bike license and i dont know
Comment from : @potato1531

Super easy indeed ❤ I'm buying mine this December
Comment from : @blessingskamanga572

Can i ask, can you go from 1st to 3th or 6tth gear? Or should you go from 1 to 2 to 3 etc
Comment from : @Azrael-midnight

You did a great job bro 👍
Comment from : @usaone7395

Step one, never let go of your throttle, step two ALWAYS keep your two Finder (index and middle one) on breake handle!
Comment from : @damianstasinski7188

Just finish my course currently saving for my first bike
Comment from : @realrellie8335

Nice vid, bud For those new to riding in the comments, clutch modulation in and out of the friction zone in 1st is clutch( <--see what I did there?😊) Really helps to have driven a manual

Comment from : @MillDonald-g3p

is the opening of the clutch meaning to engage it?
Comment from : @loganprops6818

Should I shift up at the same time I'm pulling in my clutch, like one movement, or should I add a slight delay so my clutch is open before I shift?
Comment from : @crimsonviper8872

You're a good teacher All good teachers teach with humility and not try to berate or insinuate students are fools Good job 👏🏾
Comment from : @donovannewman8462

I have mastered the manual of a car, now it's time to master the manual of a sports bike
Comment from : @dz_zyy

If you release the throttle fast it won’t jump or that just in first gear?
Comment from : @lupet4135

What part of SocAL you in?
Comment from : @SSSnexus

for the pulling the clutch in did you do it slowly or right when you released the gas did you pull the clutch in?
Comment from : @motodagger

This look so easy and fun yet scary at the same time brI'm so impatient for my course now omgg
Comment from : @snowynxx03

I just don't know how well I can balance on one I was always afraid of sharo turns on a bicycle bc I didn't want to fall off I'm terrified of riding a motorcycle
Comment from : @JazzMaster01

Dude says open and close clutch Use proper terms Makes 0 sense Are you pressing it in or releasing it when shifting
Comment from : @TotesCoolio

I genuinely appreciate how he explained it a MILLION times over and over again cus at first "open the clutch" confused me but as he said it again and again I slowly started to understand and now I think I got it! But I don't have a motorcycle yet so I don't actually know if I would actually be doing ANYTHING right Anyways, safe riding out there!! <3
Comment from : @FluufyCow

What’s the point shifting anyways?
Comment from : @xxhatchetwarrior13xx

Does higher gears mean more speed?
Comment from : @xxhatchetwarrior13xx

Open the clutch meaning squeeze it in?
Comment from : @xxhatchetwarrior13xx

Thank you brother I was really nervous after being off the bike over a year from a back injury Shifting has always been a major stressor for me Always had a hard time with getting a straight answer as to what parts were simultaneous and what parts didn’t need to be This helped a lot!!!
Comment from : @aryaa4581

Hey bro, what bike is this?
Comment from : @driftwolf1232

thanks from singapore
Comment from : @JiaZel-0506

Does upshifting usually require a decent amount of force or is it supposed to move up with even just a bit of movement on my foot?
Comment from : @tofusoyboi

Good ishnow i can walk around ny and look for a bike to steal 😂😂
Comment from : @akaicruise

Him: ITS EASY!brbrMe: Confused every time

Comment from : @Vibeblogging

How do you coast,slow down with brakes and step into whatever gear the speed/RPM'S are at? Or can you do that like a tractor trailer?
Comment from : @CeezOn2

I got to practice that

Quick question: if you see a stoplight going red and you are on 6th gear Do you go back to gear 1 and come to a full stop? Or go to Neutral gear and come to a full stop?

Comment from : @jeffqseid2169

New rider here Doing a safety course this week How quickly can you downshift? Can you drop to first gear quickly or does it have to be slowly
Comment from : @kennybowers7936
