With sport bike is difficuler
I am a very very new rider and in the summer I would sometimes pull into random parking lots to practice, usually u turns, figure 8's and emergency braking.
Been doing the same
This is great! Thanks man
The rider course is a good thing to do.
Nothing wrong with that
Ive been riding for 2 years and still try to do this at least once or twice a month. Knowing your bikes limits with emergency braking has been a life saver multiple times. Also not looking like a noob during slow manuvers is something i care about so i practice all the time
It’s pretty crazy I watch this and it looks so easy, but when I hop on my bike I need a lot of improvement. Thanks MotoJitsu for keeping us humble.
Same here
You said it!
Get gear, get sliders/a crappy beater bike, and lose the fear of dropping it. That's the fastest way. Learn what that feels like to lose it, then you have your benchmark to hold off of. Either that or practice practice practice. I find that fear of monetary loss is the reason a lot of people don't do this. Even though it makes them more likely to lose the bike in the end.
As an older rider 'coming back' to riding, this exactly what i need and will give it a go.
I have been doing every possible day this since I started riding a few months ago. The simplicity is awesome. It has helped me so much. Really translates to real world. Thank you.
In Sweden we have a very strict test to get your motorcycle license.
You have to complete a slow speed course, high speed course and traffic. If you fail any step, you're out and have to book another test and pay another ~$200.
Slow speed course is a set of zig-zags where you do U-turns around 3 cones (3 U-turns) and then back again at MAX 5kph (3 mph).
You round the cones and stop at cone 1 and 3 and put your foot down.
If you start from foot down without handlebars at full lock, you will not make the next turn.
If you exceed the speed limit, you are failed. If you touch a cone, you are failed, If your foot touches the ground (except the specified points), you are failed.
Practising these turns over and over are great for building confidence and I am so glad to have found MotoJitsu that preaches this too.
Another good way of practising your skill is to ride with the goal of never having to set your foot down. Planning ahead, adjusting speed, keeping distance.
Instead of racing to that red light, slow down, work on your slow riding technique.
All countries of Europe I know of has a serious practical test for the license.
It’s only on the US where they give it like free candy’s
When you live in a country with a single culture as the vast majority of citizens’ culture and morays, you can do stuff like that. You think in Los Angeles, where there are literal entire cities where all the signs are in Chinese and all the people there are from China where they can barely drive to begin with, that we can actually enforce one type of strict driving test? They are even allowed to take the driving written exams in their native language 😂
Excellent advice Greg. The one thing you don’t mention is HOW you’re doing these fig 8’s. Ok lean angle etc but it’d be helpful for you to talk us through the fundamentals of low speed turns once again.
Love your work.
Geoff in Australia.
Great advice! I quit using the rear brake doing slow / U turns and my turns have gotten better.
One of my favorite exercises. Brown belt figure 8, the eye ball. It really helps you concentrate on head and eyes movement, counter balance, friction zone control and transitions along with wheel placement
We did this in my Motorcycle Safety and Endorsement Course.
Our instructors wanted us to go as slow as possible doing figure 8's.
We weren't allowed to use the breaks and the primary focus was to turn our heads to where we were turning.
I never rode a motorcycle in my life when I took that course.
I trusted my instructors and did exactly what they told me.
I placed in the top of my class at the end.
Thank you for teaching people these fundamental maneuvers.
I'm a new rider & this exercise is the "wax on/wax off" of motorcycle riding. I've seen progress after doing this drill just one time. The next time it was easier & easier. It helps to point your chin & see as far back as you can to ease the turning. Slow speed u-turns look so elegant & effortless because they've put in the practice. Can you catch a fly with chop sticks. Thank you Moto Jitsu.
Thanks! You keep it going, Sincerely, the 68 yr old newbie
Thanks, will do!
I applaud your initiative and appreciate your sound and practical advice even if you are named after a "Hustler" (fast eddie)
Thanks!! :) My "nickname" is from here ruclips.net/video/ulpR45ocXns/видео.html
Bro you make this look so easy lol. I know you mentioned it but it's worth repeating: *look where you want to go*. I still find myself looking down where the bike is going to fall when I freak out during low speed maneuvers. When I look at my intended target everything is smooth.
Thanks for the advice, it makes good sense to me. I've been riding bikes for over 40 years and have pretty good low speed balance but I don't practice these type of manoeuvres despite it being the one area I'm less confident about. I now intend to do as you suggest and practice every time I take the bike out. Happy and safe riding to you and your viewers. :>)
Because I can do slow speed maneuvering, every time I'm in traffic in town I practice clutch control and slow speed maneuvering with more intense practice in empty parking lots. Parking lots are great, but once you've learned maneuvering, constant "real world" practice is better (IMO). If you are new to all this and don't really understand the principles behind your clutch's "friction zone" and looking where you want to go, my experience tells me that you had better give yourself plenty of room to practice and expect that you WILL drop your bike a few times before you get good. Wear protective gear and protect your bike with crash guards. "Repetition is the key to learning" so "shut up and practice." I've found that you can extend your practice sessions somewhat if a good wind is blowing.
I practiced figure 8s a bunch while on my permit before my driving test, and honestly it made doing the driving exam super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Oh, really?
@@lockbresnar6445 thank you for that haha!
Just back from a 3 day rideout on twisty technical rides in Wales. Had I included this simple figure of 8 each day. I would have improved my control and confidence in All my rides. Big wake up call. Thank you Greg.
Lovely rides here where are you from and where did you ride?
Your like the Bob Ross of motorcycle learning
Years ago I had the mandatory Bike school course and then I passed my Bike license.
I remember the instructor got us to do the figure of 8, the cone zigzags, riding in a straight line on a plank and the emergency brake drills.
But your explanations are far way better and you have top content about how to corner and drop the knee. You're a legend !
👍🏼
I really appreciate your teaching style! You aren’t yelling at anyone or calling them a “duface”, you are just encouraging your audience. I have been trying to practice these techniques. I was more proficient on my last bike but now I ride a heavy touring motorcycle, and I have to get over my nerves.
I'm a new rider. One year. I practice something every single time I'm out. Whether it's emergency braking once or twice, countersteering quickly, figure 8's, etc. Practice practice practice. Never know when it might save your butt.
Brilliant idea for a New Years Resolution! Was out yesterday in a parking lot doing some U Turns, not sure I made the five minutes as hands were starting to freeze up, it was -1c! 🥶😆
Great video. I've been off the bike for 3 years in grad school and am trying to get back into it this season. I used to have access to a MSF pad with painted lines but dont anymore. This is super helpful!
Something I appreciate about your channel and your videos is that you ride sport bikes, taller bikes,etc. A lot of people doing slow speed maneuvers are using police Harley's which are awesome for competition but if you don't have that kind of bike you feel left out of the techniques. Thank you!!
I'm looking forward to the "one parking space" episode!.
I am a returning rider after about 13 years of not riding. My last bike was a Honda Valarie, which is a 800# motorcycle. My total riding experience is about 8 years. I decided to start riding again but wanted to try something new. I purchased a 2022 Hayabusa and find myself very intimidated by this bike. I plan on taking it to a parking lot and start slow and careful. And by the way I am 76 know😳😮
Makes perfect sense. I will start practicing 5 min after every ride. Thank you for your videos.
As soon as I go through it to overhaul the systems I'll be climbing back on a bike after 29 years. Your videos and instruction are so important to me and helps to set in my mind the things that used to be natural but now feel strange and somewhat intimidating. But it will be ok and I will do it. Im not going to do all this work to make this bike my own and mess it up. Thank you for all you do for guys like me.
get into actual formal in person training and do a lot of them as often as you can then practice what you were taught MotoJitsu.com/courses
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Just downloaded your App….my now go to place for tutorials…..thank you for your knowledge and time it is appreciated very much to a returning rider….from what feels like the 19th Century when I rode my RD250LC until at 19, my riding came to an abrupt stop thanks to a drunk driver……my thoughts now are, could, should I have anticipated this…….maybe if I had a better skill set….well thats history now, time for me to re train, and practice…thanks.
Thank you! This is likely going to help me so much! It's been 25 years since I've ridden off-road and I just bought a '15 CRF250L... Haven't ridden it, yet, because I know my skills are so rusty to virtually be nullified. I'm going to get the bike out to a park or parking lot (have a hitch carrier) and practice these figure 8's.
This is the basic training, that is critical for mc driving skill! Thanks for making this video.
I love practical things like this. I do at least a couple of u turns or emergency braking at some point on each ride, but I am lazy and don’t want to stop, set up cones, and clean up. Just a few simple drills at some point each ride have really helped my skill and confidence. I will be adding a few figure 8s from now on.
keep at it :)
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Did the second time I watch this video and you’re absolutely right it’s been a month now I’ve been doing it and it’s great it’s been working
I do this on my street each time before i ride, i am slowly getting more confident.
I will better myself as a rider and practice the next time I ride! I can ride fine, but definitely find myself lacking confidence with right turns, wether at low or highway speeds, I simply cannot muster the courage to lean the bike as far as I can to the left.
Were you using counter steering in this exercise ?
Great advice…thank you…on the way to practice and ride now…
this is a great video,wnet out and did tis 5 min practice, and reall made a difference in my ride.
gor to know the feelofthe mchine, and was more comfortable with my ride. Thanks, Richie,from Smithtown,NY
Good day to you Mr. Jitsu. Recently I got a big cruiser bike. So naturally, it has street tires. I live on dirt roads. Sandy dirt road, out here in Joshua Tree. I find it intimidating to make normal turns (left or right) on my roads, cause it is slippery, and a big bike like this is heavy. I was wondering if you could do a video sometime, on how to drive a big heavy cruiser bike, on dirt roads, and possibly some dills a person could do to make a normal right and left turn onto and off, and including riding around on dirt roads safely. 😀 Thank for your videos and content. I have been watching you a while now, and learned alot that I will practice to get bettet every day. 5 min drills... Great Idea 💡😊
Go take dirt training to learn how to be comfortable slipping & sliding
MotoJitsu.com/courses
For a big cruiser? Like a Harley-Davidson Road King? That's like 600+ lbs? On a dirt bike, it is rather easy To put your foot down when you're going around a corner. I would think on a big cruiser, if you try to do the same thing, you would slide and lean too far, and it would fall over on your leg, and you'd get hurt???... just because how awkward the bulk is of a big bike. That's why I was hoping to find a video of someone showing how to turn corners like you might on a paved road, except on loose sand dirt roads like where I live. I know for me that it is a lack of practice, so I have learned from you already to practice 5 to 15mins everyday. The things you need practice the most.
Dat was an awesome tip, I’m noobie to motorcycles so I’ve been searching a lot for this kind of videos. I don’t struggle much riding 40km but slow speeds still something I’m uncomfortable with. Next chance I get to ride I’ll be practicing it. Have a great 2024
Very useful as always. I just wish you would've used a second camera to observe your body position while you executed the exercises. Thank you.
Love the point you make about not having discipline at the end. I've been looking for a parking lot, no excuses, we have lots of back roads. Thank you!
Dear fast teddy, thank you for your awesome instructional videos!!
Only just got my leaners so this is my 2024 goal, thanks MJ!
Great video, Definitely giving this a good go on my bike, many thanks for your video, love how simple it is, especially without needing cones etc.
Many thanks Martin.
Thank you. I've been following you for a long time. I always think I know best. Thanks for the advice.
don't you DARE judge me and Mr. Blankie!
I bought the app to support your amazing content. Can't wait to do figure 8s!
I have the Rebel 1100 dct so I have to use the rear brake, but I'm definatly doing this from now on.
Figure of eight is what you have to do to get a two wheeler driver's license in India.. It's quite a challenge to do it without putting foot down or stalling.. need to practice intensely to clear the test .
"that's going to be a recurring theme in your life"... Yes!
And also this excersice gives you convienence with your bike and and after a while stress free inside the city traffic jam.
Thanks for this video it really helped me out. I currently ride a 150 Kiplin mini 2022 I am a beginner rider. I can now comfortably ride slow around corners or doing U-turns. Also your counter steering video helped too. I don't put my foot down unless I'm at a total stop. I look forward on more of your videos!!
Thanks!
We have this drill on motorcycle driving exam among others, you have to follow the line of a figurine, if you go outside the line you have negative points 😅
In Romania, one of figure's at moto exam is figure 8, 3 times in one way and 3 time in other way. 20 feet circles.
Great video man! Thanks for your regular content like this. Very helpful as a new rider.
We’ll I’ve been following you for about a month now and I finally got the app I just got my bike last week and you yammie newb Dan Dan the fireman and the preload guy have helped me so much 🤘
get to it!!

The details and tips in this are gold.
OMG, i do this exact thing every ride First thing, i go around my neighborhood and do a u turn in each direction as well as there's a long sweeping turn where i "get my head in the game", before i head out. Then i go to Kohl's, they have a huge unused portion of the parking lot and i do figure 8s in the parking lot using the spaces just as shown here. some days good, some days not as good, always trying to improve. Then i work on emergency stopping, and stopping from a curve. Then, I ride!
This video is confidence inspiring and very clear. Thx 🙏🏽
:)
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Great vid and help...thanks man 👍
But Sir what's about the clutch control in figure 8s?
Figure 8's are part of our A1/A2/A license exam over here. Definitely an important skill to have.
more practice the better :)
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
About two thirds of the way through I needed to look away and just listen, all the side to side was making me sick! 😆🤢🤮 Here in Australia we need to be able to do a U-turn within two parking spaces to get our full licence, so this kind of thing is gold to me.
Good advice and well said!
Excellent video excercises ,great bike....I've Suzuki bandit 650 old model .so heavy to turn...
I stop often in big parking lots and industrial parks and do circles, stops and emergency stop/ swervs. Then of course ill ride over mulch and sidwalks because i do ride a dualsport and we have a certain image to uphold.
When i was a new rider, i was doing this every weekend and some days of The week when there was time, i did with all my motorcycles, cbr, fireblade, Blackbird, PCX, nc750x, rf900 from a friends and a lot more, i think is more usefull to train doing this, i do it every day, ive a big Park at The work but i tight The 8 has much has i can, its so fun to challenge myself ;)
Thanks to you and DanDanTheFireman I've learned a lot I didn't know I needed to when I started riding. Thanks!
That parking space line was excellent, this is going to be what I practise next!
Hi there love how you make basic exercises so easy here in Sweden we are told not to use rear brake so i only use speed and clutch keep up the great work unfortunat we cant ride untill spring looks nice in Sandiago
Finally, I get to practice my one line of Swedish, taught me one morning at breakfast. "Kann du sende smøerret, please?" Hope I got that right. Here in NZ we can ride all year round. 😎
@@threepwood56 Lol can you pas me the butter please
Nah, always use your rear brake if you can. No ones ever taking it away from you so use it all the time. It's silly to suggest that you won't always have it. You might not have a clutch with a DCT but you will always have a rear brake.
ı do it just the way you told it now. very happy to have done this. the only thing ı forget was to do this exercise more than 5 minutes. from now on ıll do it 300 seconds only. thank you 😂😅
‘ı did it ‘correction
Great video! I am committed.
Brilliant! Slow speed freaks me!
I'm riding a Honda AT DCT so I need to use the rear break instead of the clutch.
20 feet is a great number to practice with. If you can do a U turn within that distance, you’ll be able to turn around on almost any urban 2 lane road in North America.
So nice tips!!
As gift? Tks
For offroaders, you can do the turns standing up. Then do the same on gravel...then on canted gravel...then on rocks. I do it for every new bike, but doing it daily for 5 is a great idea; these are frangible skills.
Man this dude just disguised dissing my entire attitude towards life in a video about teaching you how to turn a motorcycle! LOL
Thank you.
You're welcome!
thanks so much !
Great video thanks
It's useful before doing very tight/full lock turns, learning and practicing riding in a straight line with frequent stops. I mean, ride in first gear, roll of the throttle, clutch + rear break until bike FULLY stops, DON'T put your leg down! As you start loosing balance - accelerate to regain control. Repeat every few meters. After doing this exercise confidently, you should be able to master figure 8 and full lock turns pretty easily 👍
It's a great help for us new guys !!
real simple and real easy
Thank you very much
👌 I am watching Your videos it is like Bible for me
Hi. Thank you for you vids. My biggest issue (along with uturns) is getting in my underground parking. It is very steep with a concrete column at the bottom I have to make a sharp right at the bottom of the ramp and the a sharp left past the concrete column. Advice would be great. Seeing you do it would be awesome.
Absolutely correct.
Oh, so that is 8 MILES per hour. I thought that was 8 kilometres per hour (or 5 miles an hour) and found that quite tough.
Thanks, I appreciate your work.
Definitely the main issue i have as a beginner. I have a yamaha bolt and slow speeds turns and uturns are the hardest.
8 wins all the time! Full lock will lift you up to sharp-shooter skill, and adding some rear break for a 1/4 of a second after (!) you lock that steering wheel, and then release the clutch - you'll be ace on the track. Practice, practice, practice slow-speed maneuvres!
I definitely drag my rear brakes in the parking lot. I'll work on it!
I’ve known from experience that practice and experience are the only ways to truly understand and be able to acutely do anything with whatever it is you’ve learned that’s a fact. I am pretty sure that’s the main reason Mr. Fast Eddie here has made this his Moto.
This video has made practicing accessible for me FOR REAL this has helped tremendously I seriously recommend to anyone to give this practice a try.
Must remember to measure an average UK parking space. Pretty sure they're not 8 foot wide. Google reckons 2.8 metres (9.2 foot) but that doesn't feel right to me. Great video. Everyone's biggest fear is the low speed drop or target fixation and running into the curb. I'll practice more with my VFR800 before i part-ex for the Diavel!
Thank you as Usual!!!
That’s funny, when, watching this video, I caught myself turning my head automatically. 😂
A few figure 8s before I ride helps me calibrate my brain to the bike.
