Thanks for watching everyone! Check out this playlist I have all about low-speed techniques :) ruclips.net/p/PLC0dZgVosHtspgOTxQGUImNC-IIJ37Buq
As a 2017 Connie owner, I appreciate you taking on this bike. I'm a shorter rider 5'4" 29" inseam. I've also learned getting 1 foot down on stop is ESSENTIAL with this bike . Especially during hard braking. This bike will punish you for duck walking it.
doesn't it effect to clutch ? like worn out. thank you
Drop down and do a press every time he says clutch ;)
Great video as usual but you were doing other things counter balance with your body and turning your head continuously towards the final destination
Great tip on the number of fingers for when i try someone else's bike
@@tiger8460 No most motorcycles come with a wet clutch and can handle riding in the friction zone.
I need to practice this dropped my bike yesterday trying to do a u turn on hill wasn’t my best move. Great video 👍
The hardest thing for me as a driver was getting over the fact that on a bike, it’s okay to ride the clutch. Perfect tutorial though, thank you.
yeah i just heard him say "ride the clutch" and im like ummmmm.... (havent ridden a bike yet, getting license this summer)
When i took the msf i was constantly stalling the bike. My intuition for using a car's clutch was messing me up, but the teaching staff was used to teaching people who never drove manual before. After talking with them a couple times about it, I finally asked 'Oh, am supposed to ride the clutch like crazy?' Stalled maybe a couple times after that
@@fergizzo It might be easier, or make more sense to you mentally, if you think of it as "feather the clutch" or "tickle the clutch".
Usually folks that know how to drive sticks think of "ride the clutch" as keeping it all the way pushed in; where what we want here is almost an opposite of that. But you tell them "feather" or "tickle" the clutch, and their face lights up because in manual car parlay, that translates to "keep the clutch just on the edge of engagement".
It's fall now, I hope you got your license and you're out enjoying the pretty foliage on two wheels!
Yes thank you for reiterating this. I come from a performance car background incl. using heavy duty / 3 puck / button clutches ; where riding the clutch is an absolute no no and to be minimised at all times. It’s a revelation now that I understand motorcycles are simply designed with the ability to ride the clutch as a primary use case by design.
...and if I'm riding a Honda with DCT ? Is there something I could do or learn ?
I think it's also important to consider muscle memory. When practicing. It's important to stop and take a break when you become tense. Otherwise you will have tense muscle memory along with the more relaxed muscle memory. I learned this from my drum instructor years ago, and it is important and can be applied to other physical activities where muscle memory is important. Anyway. My two cents
Good comment. I noticed that some days I just don't feel in as much control of my bike than other days. A good nights sleep is so important.
as a long time working drummer I can Relate...kudos
Totally love this piece of insight. Thanks!
I'm a Parkour runner, and I agree. I was always the tryhard, wanted to practice something to the point of exhaustion, but wish I had known this sooner 😅💪🏼☀️...
Im a drummer and just bought my first bike, so you just gave me confidence in two of my passions with one comment. Thank you 🙏🏽
I’m a 130 lb 75 year old guy on a 743 lb (wet) St1300, so thanks for your ongoing emphasis on friction zone use.
The result? No drops after a year and 8,000 kms. It’s amazing how a little clutch stands you right up in slow speed turns. I kept my 110,000 km (in 8 years) 750 Shadow Spirit in case I couldn’t handle the St, but for now the Shadow is very occasional use and just waiting for my 90th b’day when I might need it again.

Awesome.. I'm 51 135lb with a Concours 14. I hope to stay healthy enough to ride sport tourers like that when I'm 75.
Awesome, I’m 63 with two artificial knees, not telling you my weight, been riding 47 years and am loving my Concours C14. Have a trip planned to Canada this summer if they let us Americans in 🤞🤞
Man, nice I'm 68 and I had a colonoscopy 7 year's ago, and have to wear a bag, but I'm still riding and recently got me a new KLR650 !
@@SewGurl58 Oh stop being a woman about your weight, just tell it. Nobody's looking at you, come on ;)
One of the best tutorials on the friction zone I have seen, thank you!

Nice
I agree with you.
Oil spots make me more nervous than the size of the motorcycle XD
And loose gravel
lol! Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
@@MonstaFreak13 you should get on loose gravel more often, off road riding really boosts your confidence
Glad I’m not the only one. 😅 all of the parking lots by me are full of oil. Too many old trucks. Lol
Was nervous as hell of dropping my Connie when I first got it. Watched some vids, practiced the balance of throttle/clutch/rear brake. Nothing but total confidence now. The key is PRACTICE.
No matter the confidence level however , when it comes to a big bike never forget that gravity never sleeps.
When I was taught this technique, the instructor called it "feathering the clutch" as in lightness at the friction point. Nice demonstration. Practice makes perfect motor memory.
I've been riding for 17 years now, since I was 17 and I do most things that you teach in these videos. But there is always something new i learn with each of your videos, making it more safe for me as a mc driver.
Thank you for informative and you got a great way of explaining so I can understand it. Cheers from Sweden!

That's some amazing control when you get the bike to stay upright at a near standstill when manipulating the rear brake. Excellent tutorial and explanation, as always.
Dropped a bike today, wasn't really sure what happened. Realized after watching this that it was because I completely disengaged the clutch in a low speed maneuver. Thanks man, very new to riding and you've been a great help, even through the MSF course.
Did it hurt? I’m scared of dropping on my legs and damaging my legs coz I need them for sports.
@@moeyali123 I was actually able to easily get out of the way. This happened about 6-8 months after I had ACL reconstruction surgery. It was a small bike and I was barely moving. I did not have any injury from the accident. I have been very careful and fortunate. In my opinion, you can be as careful as possible but accidents can still happen. I know for myself, I have decided that the risks are worth the reward. I wish you the best.
Shoutout to MotoJitsu. Learned so much from your videos already. What a tremendous value!
thanks! Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
For me the key to slow speed maneuvers is staying away from the front brake. Whether I use the clutch to control my speed or the rear brake, or both, as long as I keep some power to the rear wheel the bike wants to stand up rather than fall. Killing power to the rear wheel is when the bike wants to lay down. Great tutorial! I’m wondering if I rely too much on the rear brake, as I try not to use the clutch as much and risk the tendency to pull it in when the bike feels heavy.
You can use the front brake, all depends on how
After not riding for decades, I just purchased a Yamaha MT-09. I find it difficult to not be over cautious. I'm always pulling in the clutch when I have any slow speed anxiety. The friction zone and momentum under a tiny bit of power will definitely help me to gain more confidence. Weather permitting, I will practice lock to lock and figure eights at low speed today. Thank you Sir, and you just gained a new subscriber!

One of many things MotoJitsu Drills teach is smooth inputs
(throttle, brake, clutch, steering)
= stable chasis/smooth ride.
When I’m practicing Slow speed
I’m telling myself just
millimeters of change on throttle/clutch.
:) yes! Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
I really like how you determined the use of 2,3 or 4 fingers based on the friction zone. Also happy with how you eliminate the rear brake and most of the throttle use for this drill. Recently changed the stock brake clutch leavers on my RT to Wunderlich controls to gain more reach and control. Going to practice some straight line friction zone control to get more comfortable with the idle power limits on this bike. Really want to gain more low speed control of the RT. Don’t want to drop this bike😬

I have practiced this quite a bit on previous owned bikes, but not enough now on a new different bike, MY first cruiser...looking foward to practice days and more so riding days..really enjoy your riding tutorials ..thanks
Dope info!👍 Thanks!!
OSS! I am a new motorcycle owner and Rider as of last week! 1991 Nighthawk 750 w 20k miles. I think I've watched all of your RUclips content so far and I swear it's half the reason I can even keep the bike up! It really is Jiu-Jitsu. Thank you brother

So good!! And what a sweet bike! Ive had my Connie over a year now and I love it so much and as you just proved, its super maneuverable for a big bike.
I stopped dropping my ST after your videos. Good man this was an excellent video showing how easy it is (with lots of practice) on a big heavy machine.
Great advice. I had the misfortune of dropping my 09 Concours earlier this year while practicing this type of maneuver. Crash guards prevented any damage but standing a 700 pound bike back up when you are alone is another skill you should practice. Your emphasis on practice is critical, skills deteriorate!
lol dropped my C14 doing a right turn from a stop and full lock on the handlebars when a car jumped in front of me in a parking lot, but without crash guards. spent a lot of time practicing that maneuver so it wouldn't happen again. only paint and minor plastic scrapes.
Practice is key! Share the video with others & check out MotoJitsu.com :)
I've been doing this since my first bike; I learned to drive a manual transmission car on my own and I did the same with my bike. Mussel memory is a life lasting tool. Double tapping in the army with Mussel memory works as well. I enjoy your teaching and thank you very much.
Thank you for another great lesson. The skill will definitely come through in the clutch. The art & science of exceptional riding.
👍🏼👍🏼
Great stuff, thank you!
Excellent demonstration.
Thank you!
These sorts of videos are brilliant 👍
Appreciate these videos. Been practicing on my SV650SA for the DMV riding test and it's been rough. I've learned it's so much easier to do tight turns like this when you look through the turn. Funny how such a small thing can make such a huge difference.
Hoping I can hone my skills before Friday and be able to pass the test without struggling. Got some cones coming in today that I can set up and help me.

i suggest you practice at the DMV on the same course if you can. My DMV lets people practice when they are closed. The lines are painted on the ground and the tests are in the book.
Thank you. I'll keep it in mind when it comes to my first driving lessons. Start in Spring, perfect time. I'm already excited in a positive way.
I'm currently having lessons to move up to a bigger bike. I'm struggling with the slow control for the manouvers, this video is a great help thank you.
I was practicing on the MSF course the other day (it's right behind my house) and I almost had a drop on the squiggly route. Ours is on a hill so I often let out the clutch completely. This explained to me what went wrong and what I can work on next. Thank you!
With Honda DCT (no hand/automatic clutch), practice creating tension between the rear brake and the throttle.
That's one way :) Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
Honda is working on a clutch by wire (so the best of both worlds will be present on the DCT bikes in the future): www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle-news/honda-developing-clutch-by-wire-for-motorcycles/

awesome advice been riding for 30 plus yrs, always been bit nervous around bends & right turns

Damn dude, some bummed out cars have been using that car park lol - another great video, im making time at the weekend to get to a big open car park to practice some drills!
nice!
I just got my 07 vtx 1300c first time rider and I went out to the college parking lot and did some low speed drills. It's going to be part of my weekend tradition.

So much fun!! Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
Thanks Greg. I have the same bike and spend several hours going around cones in parking lots. I improved my slow speed manoeuvrings by about 30% in the last couple of months by insuring throttle is steady and using the clutch to pull me through the drills. Also, I have the same engine guards and I had to modify the right engine guard as it sits quite low and touches early before any other part of the bike. Great to see you demonstrating these techniques on various bikes as riders can more readily identify that it is the biological component of the motorcycle that is the limiting factor and not the bike.

Nice tutorial and excellent skills. My only drop in the last decade was when I tried a u turn on a slope and my gear shifted to neutral from 1 instead of 2 resulting in same results as a clutch completely pressed!!! I am surprised no one report this happened 2 them!
thanks!!! :)
Check out MotoJitsu.com if you have a min :)
Most required video..Thank You. I shared with with my riding groups and they loved it.
Great video. I’m practicing this skill now and using counter balancing as well. Thanks!
Noob question.... staying in that friction zone so much while doing slow speed turns... doesn't that burn out a clutch? Realistically, how long does a clutch that you "work" like that actually last? This is a serious question. I'm a new rider.
It could if you don't take any breaks or your technique is just horrible. Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.
The only time I thought I was going to drop my bike was because I thought I had dropped to 1st gear but in fact I had fallen in neutral so, suddenly, no power ! Luckily my bike is light (200kg/440lbs) so I managed to recover.
Since then I've been a bit scared of heavier bikes. You can't make any mistake with them !

@@MotoJitsu where did you place your weight in this video? On the tighter turns, were you shifting your weight to outside? THen center, then out again for turns?

OMG Thanks so much that is my beast. I took 12 years off riding back to it at 55 and went from crotch rockets and a FJR1300 to this beast. I feel like I am learning all over again. Love your videos.
I dropped my Varadero twice yesterday due to clutch panic mode. Now I'm gonna shut up and practice with the friction zone. Thank you for the instructions!
As a new rider I really appreciate the way you explain and demonstrate the technique. Great video Sir.
Excellent, thanks! Also a light motorcycle such as the 350 pound S40 Suzuki 650 single is extremely confidence inspiring, especially negotiating rough,uneven driveways and such.
Great info thanks
needed this! thanks again..and again..and again...
thanks :)
This is good info… thank you
2:39 It's cute how you mimic the bike rolling forward and back when playing with the clutch at the limit of the dead zone. :)
This video is so true.. wish I heard about it earlier! Thanks FE, great advice,
welcome! MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, etc. :)
Of course it makes sense to me. Perfekt explanation. And Talking one adjustment out ( brakes ) and keeping throttle steady should make handling much easier than trying to synchronise three adjustments. Great skill!
I will try tomorrow 😉
Man, what?? This video is right on time! Been looking at getting a Connie or FJR as my next bike. Haven't been able to find many vids on their low speed handling. Much appreciated!

I think part of the issue with people grabbing the clutch at slow speeds is a reaction to feeling the bike about to tip. Your hands clench at your handlebar to stabilize and and prevent a tip over, the clutch just happens to be within your grasp and gets pulled in.
Need to practice to beat that out of you lol Consider sharing the video with others!! Check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, affiliate links, etc.

This is one the most helpful @MotoJitsu videos I have seen. I was trained to use both throttle and clutch, but I think the clutch-only method is much more straightforward, at least for early training.
👍🏼👍🏼
Clutch only is greater if your bike has high cc
Suzuki Bandit 600 was backed into a week ago. Replacement bike XZ950 is a cruiser. Had fear of riding it this past week even tho it's perfect for my little legs (had bandit modified, inc seat sculpted out).
Woke this morning and convinced myself to request a different bike (never had a cruiser b4)
Thank you for posting this, am now willing to give it a try. Having previously done refresher training my confidence re slow control/speed manoeuvres had been increasing on the Bandit, but as i tend to be a visual learning actually watching you on the CRUISER whilst explaining so clearly what you was doing has given me the tools i need to get out on this beast.
The timing couldn't have been better. Thank you so very much
