I am a 13 year old boy that loves motorcycles,one night my dad let me try a bit and push his bike,it's very light actually (150kg) but i didn't know how to properly push it.This video was super educational.Thanks for the info!
I never had the luxury of waddling my bike so getting off to move it was a skill I had to master right out the gate. Wish I watched this when I was learning. I kind of “learned on the job” when it came to slopes, gravel and hills 😂
This is my biggest problem. The first thing I did when I took out my first new bike was proceed to drop it in my steep driveway. Once the handlebars turn to a certain point I have to lay it down. I feel like any idiot can ride a bike but to be able to handle it at low speeds it's a whole other level of skill
when it comes to cruisers or sport bikes, I never had an issue walking the bike around while sitting on it... now that I have an adventure bike I just simply cant reach the ground properly so I have to walk it around if im on gravel or uneven ground.... sooo this video applies to everyone haha
I wish I saw this video before I moved my bike! With this video I was able to pinpoint what I did wrong and I won't make that mistake again. Thanks for the tips!
thank you very much for the video, I am just starting to ride. One thing I have been told when you park your bike make sure it is first gear. Most bikes have light to remind us that we are not neutral
Good advice. I’ve done the hip method for a long time. Both when I had the 78 Honda CX500 and my current 04 Honda VT1100 Shadow. But then I’m 5ft 3in. also. I’ve had to set both those bikes down and believe me its much better if it’s questionable to get off and use your hip to move them where you want rather than picking them up. I think the 500 was a bit more of a reach than the other one. When your short and more up on the balls of your feet; it makes you more careful when making stops that you’re feet go down on pavement only when fully stopped. You don’t want to slip. On the 1100 if I’m at the very front of the seat I can almost get flat footed but even at that it’s not like someone with a longer reach where their legs can be splayed out more helping to keep the bike in the straight upright position. Actually; knowing you can pick your bike up by yourself if you have to when you’re alone is not a bad thing.
thank you for sharing this ... someone has left their cycle on my property & they aren't coming to pick it up, it's in the way, so I will have to try to move it myself, know nothing about motorcycles, geesh!
Great advise, even though it may seem obvious to some people, it's still good to be reminded of what the correct procedure is Keep it going and stay safe everyone
The only time ive ever I guess waddled is when I pull into a spot, lets say at a gas station and I gotta "waddle" to back up but then I always put it in gear and head out ive never waddled it forward.
Good video and great advice. However the bikes in the video are anything but heavy. I'm a small guy and trying to move my Harley-Davidson electra glide is a task no matter what technique I use.
Absolutely! I would love to join. It may take me a few days, but I will definitely set myself up. I saw your video about the ladies having their own chat? That is pretty bad ass my dude, I dig it! Also I hope your gal had a great time at Babes Ride Out, it was a great time this year 'round!
It's about 500 lb (dry weight)... Don't know how you guessed 200 for a Bandit 1200. I've pushed it uphill in deep sand so no thanks, I'll stick to pavement
@@KillswitchQueen It looks a lot smaller but I guess it's deceiving on video. Anyway, I've been working with the hip method a bit already and I'm not saying there is no merit to it. I haven't tried to back it up a slope yet, but it does seem to be helping with moving the bike around on patio stones and such so far. Appreciate the video and the tip.
Hi! that is exactly how I move my motorcycle. I'm comfortable doing it BUT it is a very small bike (BMW G310R). I have a 6" step to get up into the garage and I use 3 pieces of wood to give me a bit of a ramp to get it up there. I'm used to it now. My question is, what if I get a new bike and it is another 150lb? is there a better way to get it up that ledge? Thanks!
Other than riding it up? You could try having the bike running, putting it in gear, and walking it up using the clutch to give you that extra boost you need. I've done this when loading my bike into a truck, because I'm just not tall/strong enough to get it all the way. Just be super careful not to stall it. Or it drops LOL
Killswitch Queen thanks! Yeah, what makes me nervous is the lack of space I have ahead of the motorcycle for stopping it. I think replacing the wood I use as a ramp with and actual ramp that I can walk alongside, using your clutch/friction zone is the best idea. I have ‘just enough’ room for a motorcycle to park. Nothing more. Thanks for that tip! 😁
Learn on a Dirt Bike .. All this stuff is common sense.. I recently found out that some women don't know how to put gasoline into a Motorcycle .. Or how to check the engine oil level .
@@KillswitchQueen I find that hard to beleive ...I even know where the fill cap is for a 1957 Chevy do you ? I worked and saved money from age 9 until age 12 to buy a brand new Yamaha GT-80. of course the filler caps are obvious in that ear.. When you work 3 years to pay for something you take good care of it.. So of course I read the Owners manual .. I have shop Manuals for almost every car Truck .. Class 8 Truck Farm Tractor .. Crane . and Front end loader I own .. As a teenager I repaired many Motocycles, snowmobiles and lawn mowers for the neighbors.. for $$$$
@@piggysister01 I know some women who know how to read an owners manual .. If you Own an Operate a piece of Machinery read the owner manual first.. I have shop Manueals for my 1955 Northwest Model 6 crane it weighs 90,000# Adjusting the clutches and brakes ect is so complext that I hared a Northwest Mechanic to teach me how to adjust it.. With heat he told me first hand and went over the Operators and Repair Manual .. I made notes so I recall all the unique tricks to adjust it properly .. It has father touch clutch boosters that have to be adjusted a certain way can only be figured out with the factory manual .. But not knowing how to put gas in something .. I have b een doing that since 6 years old .. riding and push lawnmowers ect.. Did you know you are not supposed to put gas in a lawnmower while the egnine is hot .. you can start a fire..
Tell me you haven’t tried it without telling me… Yes some bikes are massive and if you’re very small, it’s going to be hard until you build the strength.

It's another skill level for sure. Check out Ride like a pro. You'll beckme much more confident in slow maneuvers. Promise.
Just did the same thing 🥲 because of this video I now know what I did wrong I literally got on the bike and pushed it fell instantly
I am a new rider and this was great advice - had not even thought to do this :) Thanks!

Good, helpful hints, and not just for short riders. I'm a taller than average guy who's no longer young and can't move a bike around like I used to.
Great advice. I just bought a heavier bike than I am used to and definitely will practice these maneuvers!
wow,look whos back,good to see vids from you again,and very helpful hints for new riders
Came here after purchasing a Kawasaki ZX6R. Really helpful!
Franz Pascobillo how tall are you brother? i’m going to purchase one myself! haha
Welcome back. Glad to see you return to motorcycle vids.
Thanks for that, i'm a 69yr old rider and i learnt something today and i'm going to give it a go.
Nicely done. This is information that new, inexperienced and some not-to-new riders can benefit from. Good job!

BRILLIANT!! & i've only watched it half way through, had to pause, too good! & oh also! i too ride a bandit, its a 1250 ;-)

Great video. Thanks for the upload
Nice bikes killswitch queen!! Im working on my vstar 650, blacking it out! Super excited for my winter project.
Thank you for this, very helpful. New female rider here.
Awesome and well presented.
I toppled my new motorcycle 3 times before I came here.
Thanks Queen. Very helpful.

Thanks for these tips! Very clear and easy to follow. Hopefully I get the chance to practice this soon
Great advise, even though it may seem obvious to some people, it's still good to be reminded of what the correct procedure is Keep it going and stay safe everyone
Love this advice, and happily shared with the rest of my Litas Kansas City
Do i need to be on the 1st gear or neutral when pushing it
nicely done and glad to see you're back.

You should do an update video on the Bandit. It looks awesome!
Working on it today!! Thank you
You just saved my skinny ass! Couldn't move my new HD even a bit.
Thanks so much
Helps to have it in neutral too! Like to see her do that with a 1000 lb Harley though!
I move all bikes this way... it’s literally my job at a dealership, bikes way heavier than Harley’s
@@KillswitchQueen Very impressive! I stand corrected! More power to you.
I would love to give this a try. Mine weighs 800 lbs. 😂
Awesome video. 👍💯 question. Can u tell me description of those bike.?
Good tips. While it helped a little I still had trouble moving my nearly 600lbs VFR1200 😭.
Thanks. Very helpful...PJ UK
Good stuff. Thanks
How do you push a bike up a hill?

glad to see more KQ videos :D
Looks interesting but that's only a 200 lb bike on level pavement. Let's see you do this backing up a gravel slope with a 530 lb bike.
It's about 500 lb (dry weight)... Don't know how you guessed 200 for a Bandit 1200. I've pushed it uphill in deep sand so no thanks, I'll stick to pavement

Shame you let your channel die. You would be over 70k subs if you have continued your videos. I hope you're doing well in life though. !
little joke ahead
none of that can be used for my small electric scooter xD
nice to know :D
Short people problems xD
Not the best method if you ride cruisers unless you can single leg press 200kg plus
Tell me you haven’t tried it without telling me…
Yes some bikes are massive and if you’re very small, it’s going to be hard until you build the strength.
