Yeah this is the problem I'm having at low speeds it buck forward and then engine breaking happens. So it's a constant forward and back unless I just hold in the clutch. I'm new to riding so that's where I'm at. I have a ninja 300 and I thought it was cuz it was a 300 it did that cuz if I get to slow in first gear while rolling off it just wants to engine break no matter what. But I guess it's with all bikes. So I need to learn better throttle control! Thanks
n0xxm3rcyxx Thanks for watching! Throttle control is key to being a good rider. The only bikes that doesn't have engine braking is two strokes. Other than that it's applies to most bikes . Something to be practice on the regular basis. Smooth roll on and a smooth roll off. The bike will give feedback on if it's smooth or not. A parking lot is a excellent place to practice. Welcome to the Motorcycle community and enjoy that 300 it's a fantastic bike!
I'm a newbie and all of this is new..i completed a msf course but still not good with clutch and throttle control, turns, counter steering and shifting smoothly. I practice daily. I see improvements in some aspects but not all.
Sorry for the late response. Motorcycle riding is so vast so many skills to be a good rider. Your on track getting better via practice also I noticed when a skill gets better like braking then the other skills that I thought was good realized it wasn't so it's upward spiral with constantly improving even the skills that I was confident in to only go back to the training that skill again. It's why I love riding because good is never good enough.
Thank you for the video. That's a good way to get used to the throttle. I got kicked out of the class. I had no control on the bike. I couldn't do anything right. I did corners well. I kept putting my head down. I was such a failure. But I wanna do the class again. Should I practice on a bicycle?
vulture vautour Yeah I like the water mark a lot and I am hoping that this video will help riders out on learning to control their engine braking. In particular Mrs moto she said that she has the bucking motion so I shown this drill to help her with learning how to be smooth and handle that engine braking.
I hate engine braking lmao but I agree it comes in handy in very small amounts one of my pet peeves is the aggressive engine braking people sometimes do to stop instead of doing it normal, bowwwwwwwwwwwwww jesus brake and downshift lol. 1st gear at low speeds on my cbr600rr is ummm intense it is not geared for that, took me a little bit to figure her out when I first got her. I have to be very careful my 1st can get crazy real fast with too much throttle. I can do it fine now but 1st you have to be smooth that takes practice on most sport bikes they're not cruisers too much throttle the power kicks in too little they could chug and stall. Good thing to practice especially after a long Canadian Winter hone those skills back in. Trust me I'll probably be watching these videos a few times a year I like all these drills keeps you sharp.
MotoBike Mike Totally on the engine braking I use very little. It's why we have brakes on cars and motorcycles plus brake pads are cheaper than crankshaft and other engine parts. I understand about the learning how to control engine braking it's tough. I started doing the drill in second gear which is was a challenge at first. now I progress to first gear which isn't easy at all. second gear is now to easy for me on the R3. This is a fantastic drill and the rider improvement is huge. I personally love this drill. Thanks brother for your support and feedback.
I ride a 150cc with 13bhp. When I corner, or try to, I tend to pull the clutch more often. I'm afraid that at low rev, the bike will stall. But pulling the clutch makes it seem easier, am I doing it right? Cuz not more often people mention the clutch while cornering.
Dixon Cider Hello, Right turns are tougher for me too because of all that's going on the right side. Gas,brake and streering inputs all with the right hand much to do. I will make a better drill video for the right on turns. Something you can do in a parking lot. So the first steps right now is get the throttle control practiced to the point where your not thinking about the roll on or roll off and both is very smooth. That's the first steps because those actions are part of the reason right hand turns are hard. The reason is before a right hand turn roll off applying brake then counter steering to the right. All that has to be done before you blow the turn point. So busy that it takes alot of mental focus just to get the bike into a acceptable entry speed that is comfortable. Hope this helps and a video will be made for drills to help out. Thanks for asking the question.
Dixon Cider To the drill on the right side circles at a comfortable speed that will help you with the right side. Roll off before the turn point and roll on after your steering is complete.
Dixon Cider No worries the main reason for a parking lot is lower risk. It's safer than a tree lined road that's will get a rider very scared. Plus in a empty parking lot if you mess up it's alot safer than blowing a corner on a country road. The main idea is to work environment that's not going to kill you or cause damage to others. That way you can focus your attention on the drill and not on survival. Whatever you practice in a parking lot is only going make you a better rider. Most people never practice or do drills. Most people believe street riding is enough.
Lol not sure myself lol . My name is Dan. The rhino part was given to me from a professional paintballer during my tournament days. So since 2012 my nickname been Rhino Dan and it's stuck.
@@RhinoDan thats cool dude just found it to be an odd coincidence😂 im about to start riding and everywhere i go a ninna 650 seems like a good idea im 6 2 so pretty tall and kinda want an r6 lol any thoughts?
@@st33z17 That's a tough question because how fast you want to ride in a straight line? I am 6 3 and riding a R3 been riding a R3 for over two years and racing this year. At 6 2 most bikes aren't going to be comfortable for a taller rider. So on that note just make the bike comfortable for you is the best bet. If you're a new rider insurance is going to very costly. So that's another consideration. Lastly tires are expensive for a R6. So many things to into considerations on what's a good bike to start with.
Thanks for this video one of the best drills I ever used for smooth riding 👍🏼
Awesome glad to help out. being smooth helps the bike so much.
I appreciate the feedback!
Awesome videos, just started riding, I have an R6. The throttle videos are great!!
Awesome and thanks for watching ! If you have any questions about riding let me know .

Your on track getting better via practice also

How is everything coming along?
I did the 3 wheel class this past weekend. I passed. I bought a ryker rally. Thanks for checking
@@julied915 Congratulations. Ride safe and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
Thanks for the tutorials
Red Shift Rider Your welcome!
Cool video, Cool Rhino watermark!👍 Btw, you can only see the watermark if the video is in fullscreen, at least in my cellphone.

In particular Mrs moto she said that she has the bucking motion so I shown this drill to help her with learning how to be smooth and handle that engine braking.
Rhino Dan Im sure she will learn and master throttle control.

I will make you a video today about this. Because of my hip and back can't ride anymore but I have a manual transmission car so similar principles.
@@RhinoDan what do you mean you can't ride anymore!!! That's sad, man. 😢
Weird This video slipped past me and I hit the bell lol.
MotoBike Mike That's very weird!
What about right turns? Thats where I am not as smooth.

2nd gear is butter
MotoBike Mike Oh yeah second gear is smooth.
