    The flashing gear indicator means it is recommending you to shift up. Your RPM bar flashes because your bike is still new and is recommending you to not go any higher than 4000 rpm for the first 500 miles. Check your Owner's Manual, I believe it'll be explained in there! Keep on riding and be safe! 🤘

      It'll still flash at 4k even after the break-in period (2024 Ninja break-in is < 4k first 150 miles, then < 6k until 250 ...check the owners manual for your year, it's changed a LOT from older models)
      The 4k flash is configurable tho (or you can just turn it off which I prefer)

    Tips that I can share to you.
    1. Practice 1 finger breaking it will train you for progressive breaking.
    2. Learn how to counter steer better. In sportsbikes counter steering is more useful than normal steering.
    3. Be confident. Too careful can also lead to disaster sometimes.
    4. When you're in doubt on making turns, make sure you do your best too look where you need to go.
    5. Practice slow speed manuvers. It can help you make sharp turns and build your confidence on balancing your bike.
    Lastly. Since it's your first time, ride defensively. Be accustomed on using your bike first.
    Ride safe.

      Agreed, would like to add: learn positioning before corners. There are only 3 positions, easy to learn, will make immediate sense. Most countries it is only taught on adv riding, no idea why not on basic riding. Just RUclips motorcycle position.

  • @mircea5013
    @mircea5013 Месяц назад +69

    You probably figured this out by now but:
    1. if you want to take corners 'less wide', don't accelerate while doing it. It will automatically go wide if you do
    2. when coming to a stop, I wouldn't hold the clutch and go from 6 to 1 and then coast with clutch in until I stop. You noticed it was difficult to stop and there is another thing: if you go from 6 to 1 in 1 go while still at speed, if you let go of the clutch by mistake it's pretty bad. Instead I would just engine break and go 1 gear down at a time, releasing the clutch each time; the bike will slowly come to a stop. You can use brakes too, especially so that everyone sees you're slowing down.
    3. 31:16 - "I'm blowing past this sht" - never do that again.... never enter an intersection with your throttle wide open just to make a green light. Never do that.
    4. 7:38 - you were completely unfazed at 50mph, when approaching the intersection where a car was pulling in; sure, it had stopped and the driver was paying attention, but that's your yellow zone: I would release throttle for some engine breaking, cover my brakes and get ready to avoid a scenario in which the car won't stop; do that everytime and you'll be happy to do have done it one day.. trust no one.
    5. I just feel you were going way too fast at times for your skill level
    6. don't cut corners like that in intersections...
    7. stop at stop signs. But you don't need to stop before the sign, you can go a bit further where you have max visibility
    8. use both rear and front brake when coming to a stop and don't pull in the clutch first. FIrst you brake, you pull in the clutch before stopping. Good for practicing emergency stops, where the clutch isn't a priority.
    9. when using the clutch release it slowly and smoothly

I’m itching to get on the bike and progress but anxiety is preventing me, Seeing your videos literally gives me so much hope because you fukin just jump right in and handle the new stuff so well.

  • @stevek4449
    @stevek4449 2 дня назад

    One trick to remember is to memorize the low and high rpm points of each gear and the road speeds associated with them. The reason for this is to help you in a sudden change of speed. You can glance at the speed and automatically and quickly get to the right gear without stalling or locking up the rear wheel. As speed will equal correct gear with less thought processing.
    At 49 last year, my first bike was the KLR 650 S. Due to my 30 years experience as a long haul trucker and size 18 shoes made shifting a bike rather awkward. Shifting 8-9-10-13&15 speeds with my right hand over to a 5 speed with my left foot, and big feet at that, motivated me over to the Africa Twin with DCT😂 now it’s like riding a bike as a kid again, all kinds of fun😂 have fun and enjoy the ride! Nice to see more ladies getting into the sport/hobby.

  • @cirrusgaming7078
    @cirrusgaming7078 3 месяца назад +59

    Good Job! It was fun to watch you ride. The RPM bar flashing is a factory setting you're gonna wanna change before long. Like others have said, the dash RPM is flashing to keep RPMs low for break-in; But you're in WAY too high a gear! 2nd or third gear is FINE if you're under 45mph. When you're at a low speed and a high gear, you're 'lugging' the engine and increasing engine wear; Plus you don't have any torque available if your in 5th gear going 30mph. When I'm riding my 500, I only use 5th and 6th gear when I'm on the highway.

    • @stonecold5373

    So happy to see another person taking up the sport. Remember always practice safe riding positions and practices. Stuff like at 7:40 for example. Where you could cover your brakes with your pointer and middle finger in preparation for if that car didn't stop. As well as move to lane position 1 (I believe it's been a while since I've read some hard book stuff. but the left side of your lane) or even move to the left lane if no car is in the left lane. Seems super simple and easy to overlook but trust me someday there will be someone driving a car that's either in a rush, had a bad day, forgot their glasses at home or whatever reason and you always want to be prepared. the only person you can predict is yourself so just prepare for someone in a car, or even another biker for that matter, to do the absolute worst thing they can do and it will save you from a lot of potential accidents and hopefully keep you around and in the community until you pass of old age.
    Love to see people come. Hate to see people go. That includes you and anyone else looking to ride
    P.s. that was obviously just one example. There's plenty of other things you can do while still being able to use the whole sped-o-meter and have fun on your bike. Just can't go over all them in one comment without it being miles long lol

    That turn in the beginning is so funny. I am a fairly new rider, about a year in, and the amount of times early on I did that is insane. I think what really helped me get in control of my bike was the many, many hours I practiced in a parking lot doing turns, u-turns, maneuvers etc. I used to go to a mall (I should pick this back up) and practice until I couldn't feel my hands.

If it hasnt been said yet, practice safer lane positioning - i feel like youre in the center or right tire track while in the right lane. and that youre really far right when turning right. take up more space, stay in the left tire track (or right when applicable), dont encourage cars to try to share the lane with you. if someone is really aggressive behind you, thats of course a different story. happy riding! my riding season is already done, hopefully your season isnt done quite yet in AZ

I don’t want your RPMs to get mixed up. I did that a couple times and it caused my back tired to wobble and it was a little bit scary But great job on the big roads keep practicing mess around in a parking lot where you don’t have any other cars around please always look like people are gonna hit you.

    at 20 minutes you shifted all the way down to first way to early.and held the clutch in you should be using your engine compression to brake the bike along with the brakes. just ease off the throttle and your engine will slow you down unless you get it tuned. so all in all dont pull in your clutch till your ready to downshift or upshift.

    Mirrors, are they adjusted? Come on now, use them :-)
    Those sleepy car drivers looking at their phones won't see you if you don't flash your orange signal indicators. Are you using them every time you turn, stop, change lane?
    Approx 4 flashes before your movement, give yourself plenty of time for 4 flashes. Giving yourself time will mean you plan further ahead. So you look further ahead.
    Look ahead, what do you see? Junctions, signs, parked vehicles, any moving vehicles that might cross your path, pedestrians?

I always choose the highest gear (for the speed) to keep the decibel level down in residential(3rd/4th gear) and to save gas on the highway(6th gear). Downshift to pass, unless your bike has enough power in 6th.

    Yep, this is all normal. In about 6 months you will be used to it all, and it will all become natural and sub-conscious.
    when I started out. I also tried to at a slow speed practice riding hands free to develop your core muscles.(helps with understanding and controlling the bike easier).
    Also, A good time to make sure you also learn to keep a super hero level of situational awareness. Because people will break your space bubble and will get angry with you sometimes that THEY weren't paying attention responsibility.. Can't wait to see what you upload a year from now, lol! I love watching the learning phase into intermediate skill videos, they're always very interesting.

    Only thing I suck at now are quick stops and slow speed maneuvers.

    Just a thought, but Ive always treated 6th gear as my "cruising the freeway" gear. Normal city riding (If I'm doing the speed limit) I don't usually go above 4th gear unless I get one one of the faster roads.

    Just a suggestion from a soon to be 2 nd time msf hopefull grad, when staring off, from what my instructor taught me is that u stay up on the throttle (about 1/4 twist) and then let out clutch to the friction zone then when bike starts under its own power then gradually increase throttle dont “grab” just ease into it. Like driving stick for a car. I know I had that same damn issue 😉😜😜 but nice ride anyway 😊😊✌️✌️

  • @Black_Heart_Defense
    @Black_Heart_Defense 17 дней назад

    It kinda looks like your dumping the clutch once you are moving, to shift up gears which can make it a rather jerky shift. You still want to ease the clutch out as you upshift but not as slow as when you are getting going in first gear.

    Use your mirrors, indicate, be prepared for car drivers who have blind spots when they pull out, watch for slippery drain covers, gravel on roads around corners..
    Always look behind you when pulling away from kerbs, overtaking vehicles and especially if you decide to do a u turn in the road..
    Kindest Regards, 😀😀😀

    I'm pretty sure you might already know this one since it doesn't really pertain to motorcycles exclusively, when turning, turn into your own lane. I can understand the panic turn to the far left lane, however, this is reckless and could potentially cause an accident. Right lane turns in to the right and middle -> middle. Your safety matters even more when on a motorcycle.

    Motorcycling is going through a rough dying patch recently. We need more riders. We definitely need more female riders. The more of us there are, the safer we all are.
    Ideally: Gender, age, wealth, etc should not stop us from getting on 2 wheels. We should all experience the freedom of biking before it's too late.

    Just ride your ride, man. Only pay attention to what others are doing, in respects to your safety. Nobody's opinion matters, who cares what you think they're saying..
    Also when your RPM is flashing, it's the Ninja's way of telling you to upshift.
    Don't worry about stalling, fuck man you will do it a lot until you get used to the bike.
    Have fun and ride safe!

    I'm so happy to see you enjoying youreself on you're bike, but...
    Pls release you're clutch when slowing down/shifting down. 40 mph in 1st is an accident waiting to happen..
    Don't take turns with you're clutch pulled in, that gives you the least control of the bike..
    Braking/hard braking.... use you're pinky first and then let the next finger's follow to pull in the brake lever, if using 4 finger braking. You would be amazed how hard you can brake..
    Try to find (normal/not wheelie kids) biker's to follow and learn the ropes..
    Being too carefull will only let you make more mistakes imho..
    Have fun and drive save, i realy like seeing girls having fun on a bike... I have done over 200k Miles on a bike and lots of trackdays.. Made some mistakes myself and landed on my back, but i was being silly at the time. Expect the unexpected at any moment when driving on the road....
    Stay save all of you...!
