Straight to the point! Thank you sir
Comment from : @bujinho11

Thank you, you absolutely explained what I was looking for as far as shifting with the foot lever 👍
Comment from : @CmdrALF

People do this on cars as well, shifting too early and lugging the engine This is why you follow the rpm over the engine brFeeling the engine is NOT intuition but a learning curve

I'm so glad I ran into your channel I'm going to take a rider course and the only aspect I was worried about was shifting After this video I'm not worried at all! Thank you so much and I will definitely go through all your videos so I am prepared before I go ❤

Comment from : @dongetaro

What if you make a sudden stop in like 3-4th gear let’s say brbrDo I smack it into neutral or should I try to take it down from 4th to 3rd to 2nd?

Comment from : @danielcastillo150

4:02 "lever is designed to shift one gear at a time"brbrProceeds to downshift from 3rd to 1rst 😂😂😂😂😂brbrSiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuu
Comment from : @jrviade85

What is the relevancy of being a 'motorcycle sergeant' to explaining how to properly shift gears?🤔
Comment from : @pyramidsinegypt

I'm having a hard time understanding the 1st to 2nd gear shift I don't need to account for neutral? Just kick it hard & it goes right past neutral?
Comment from : @knowbody6441

Straight yo the point!
Comment from : @TheShocktrauma

I'm having issues down shifting to slow down but not stop My bike jerks , I'm also trying to learn to blip the throttle
Comment from : @CrunchDramaNetwork

Thank you brotha
Comment from : @FNLoyalFS420

Not me shifting to 2nd gear at 8mph and 3rd gear at 15
Comment from : @xXJade_AssassinXx

Thanks, I just began with riding lessons in my driving school and shifting really takes a 1000 takes to get it consistently right, but it's mosty down to my throttle control Clutch and shifter are easy, I find throttle cutoff and rev matching to not over rev the most tricky
Comment from : @after_midnight9592

Great thanks for the lesson
Comment from : @JohnMugarura-b6u

I've only had my new bike for 2 days and those are mainly the problems I've had so far Thank you for clarifying so many of the mistakes There is also the mistake of looking down to the controls And of course, the fear of over revving in 1st
Comment from : @maboya

Turn off your highbeam please, you are not riding a six volt system bike!
Comment from : @shaun8256

I had trouble going from 1st to 2nd without hitting neutral thanks I'll try that🫡

Comment from : @clareyoung3960

Awesome video on shifting The more I ride my bike, the more I learn each time I have learned that my upshifting is not fast enough and I noticed that the culprit is my current riding boots I noticed that my foot can't get under the shifter fast enough I corrected that problem by getting myself a pair of riding sneakers The current boots I have, I compared them to my riding sneakers and the toe of my current riding boots is at least 1 inch higher than my new riding sneakers That is a very big difference and I am eager to try my new riding sneakers out on my days off from work I got a very good feeling that they will make a world of difference in my upshifting
Comment from : @kjvbiblebelievertal7431

Footboards and heel/toe shifters forever 😊

Comment from : @cbarron3857

Comment from : @luth7050

I am learning after riding Enduros for 12 years I have a Cruiser now and its different Sometimes i get the smoothest shifts and ones in awhile I get chatter like it's not meshing I like this video I need to figure this out before I destroy my transmission
Comment from : @ZPDSurvival

Simple fixes but thank you so much for your input As a new rider it’s much appreciated
Comment from : @ashtonevans6488

Hey man thanks for putting up this video for the newbies Very few instructional videos on Youtube focus on shifting I've been riding over 8 years and have very little experience shifting because I always rode an automatic (DCT) but it's good to know the tips incase I end up back on a manual motorcycle I test drove a harley a few months ago and had a hard time shifting
Comment from : @baldandbiking

Comment from : @briancurtis9881

Thank you!
Comment from : @ultralowtuba007

Great video! It’s straight to the point And it only 4 minutes
Comment from : @christiancruz8647

Well done Especially making the point of gears can change only one level per shift
Comment from : @WAGNERMJW

If you watch this with the volume down, you’d think you were angry😂😂
Comment from : @soundvibes4182

So to go from 1st to 2md is just once I thought nit was twice because neutral in in between it and also how ypu get it into neutral if it bypasses it when you shift?
Comment from : @aritst_abroad

BEST video, i understood so much faster and easier with your 4 min video, compared to these 20 mins videos Thanks! Made me feel a lot more confident on shifting

Helpful video!!!! Thanks!!!
Comment from : @righteous1229

the last tip was really helpful as i often accidentally shifted too soft, thanks for telling us
Comment from : @raiyaankoudjeti102

Ive been having the soft shitfing issue, some days I shift really good and others I suck I also think my boots may have something to do with that as well, because everytime I wear my work boots I shift like garbage
Comment from : @PtchersWR

Thank you! Been riding since March 2023 and have not been shifting down gears hard enough and find myself shifting down after stopping! You are the best!🎉
Comment from : @micahgrace1778

Thanks for the lesson, mate! I have a cb500x an I usually shift my gears up around 6k to 7k rpm Anything lower makes me feels that the bike isn't speeding up correctly Regards from Brazil!
Comment from : @magichatake

Great information ℹ️ New sub
Comment from : @Winningsince95

Thank you sir, knowing that shifting strong enough and won’t go to a higher gear, you clarified and put me more at ease Good info 👍🏼
Comment from : @jswolf67

I have a question I have a ninja 300 and I recognize that every time I’m coming to a stop or slowing down I try to shifting down into first gear, however, when I do the bike itself slows down as if it doesn’t want to move any further, even when I try to give it a little bit of throttleCan you give me some insight on why that might be happening?
