Beginner's Guide to Safely Riding a Motorcycle/Kawasaki 230 KLX?

It's always best to start out with a small motorcycle to ensure maximum safety. 1st step is making sure you can control the throttle & work the brakes. Then you can move onto another small motorcycle that has gears to shift, but no hand clutch. After you're comfortable with shifting gears and controlling the throttle. you can go to the hand clutch, but I would recommend staying with a smaller bike. Once you've mastered the before mentioned, you'll be ready for a bigger bike, Motorcycles are dangerous whether you ride in the woods or on the road. Always wear a helmet & proper gear and stay in full control of your bike. Ride safe friends and enjoy!

Hello, friend! I am immensely grateful for the fantastic video you've created. Your effort is truly appreciated! I'll be eagerly anticipating more of your content, as you seem like a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. As I gather my gear, I'll be focusing on the 230/300sm models, since it would be quite irresponsible to begin with a larger bike. Once again, thank you so much! 🙏

Very real! Stumbled across this looking for some klx 230 info. Very good semi-private lesson for that viewer, and a good reminder for anyone even for just changing to a higher tier bike.

Thanks for leaving a comment Ron. The KLX 230 is a pretty good bike. I put a lowering kit and shortened the kick stand. It's a good fit now, being 5'-7".
