On Moto Control channel you will find videos about motorcycles, motorcycle riding techniques, tips & tricks and online motorcycle training for beginner and advanced riders!
A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

You know that he knows what he’s talking about when you hear his accent
Badala badala badala 😂
Real
Practicing next to nuclear power plant cooling towers also helps, as you can see here
There is a lot going on in a U turn. This is way too slow for the normal stability. You have to actively balance the motorcycle. You want to use your rear brake, if necessary, not the front. You spend your whole life thinking "don't slip the clutch and burn it up" but this is one time where slipping the clutch is useful/mandatory. Trying to get a full lock U turn with the clutch in (coasting) is very likely to drop the bike. Applying power by slipping the clutch will keep the bike from falling. Look into the turn. Usually when you need to do several things at once, it is best to practice on one thing at a time and it will all eventually come together.
Sorry. English is not my native language. What do you mean;" by applying power by slipping the clutch"?
@@r.r8314 It the "friction zone" between the clutch being all the way squeezed in and all the way released out. Some power is going to the rear wheel, but not all. If the bike starts to fall to the inside of the turn, you can accelerate lightly (let the clutch out and increase the throttle) to push it back upright with centrifugal force. The motorcycle is going so slow that it would be jerking heavily and risk of stalling if you completely released the clutch. My motorcycle idles at 8 mph, but I usually start a U-turn at 5 mph.
Fell two times on different days while trying u turn on my new bike. It is really breaking my confidence😕
Low speed turns are only 1% of motorcycle riding. Don't let it stop you from practicing the other 99%. It should get easier over time if you practice the fundamentals. @@samyakchhajed

Excellent advice. I just finished the MSF basic rider course and this is EXACTLY what they teach.
You are the best educator in slow speed riding skills. Thank you for your work .🙏
i've learned more from this ruski than any youtube video about controlling my heavy multistrada!!
Nice video, my point of view,If there is a an uphill, or road is inclined ,then using the clutch would not slow down the speed, when u are turning toward the slope, moreover if its a little bit off road( few sand or gravel particles) or watery , then putting any brake at that tilt position would be risky because tyre might slip, better is to practice it by overcoming your fear that tilt position will make you fall while motion, if you have required motion ur motor cycle would never fall, how ever heavy it is , this need some practice , i have been doing it many times especially in off road and inclined roads and fallen sometimes , also avoid brakes if its off road and maintain good motion if its too much inclined.
Bro what bike is that thats soooo coool
@Moto Control
I used an Indian during the driving test. you have to use the rear break to balance motorcycle but I'll never buy one heavy Motorbike in my life 😅
I'm only on a 125 atm, but I still have the issue with tensing up my arms. Any suggestions for loosening up and keeping my arms relaxed?
Are these mechanix gloves good for riding?
Please don't make RUclips shorts anymore, it's a garbage format for making videos.
Also get yourself a bike 2" off the floor and one with very low centers of gravity! 😉
Love your videos, what country do you shoot these videos in?
Andre currently lives in Argentina (I think) but comes from Russia. So, while his current content is shot in Argentina he still uses a lot of his historical video content from Russia.
Andre is an awesome instructor.
why do you keep one finger on the front brake @MotoControlEn?
You should drop a video for tips on not dropping your bike
I'm taking the Harley beginner course and today is our final day and our "test" day. Everything else on the test hasn't been too bad so far, but this u-turn in a 20 foot box is giving me and everyone else in the class some issues. Our instructor says we've all "passed" the u-turn, but we all have a tendency to put our foot down and not turn our heads enough.
what kind of motorcycle is that?
No reason to do ‘nice looking u-turns on your big heavy bike’. Just do a three-point turn and take your time. If you find that embarrassing then perhaps you are not mature enough to ride a bike.
or you could learn to ride properly in a way that isn't a danger to others?
Note the butt movement to counterbalance
I can't understand the accent, what did he say about pulling in the clutch "when you feel like your bike is going to 'right or Slide'" I don't understand.
"too wide" Speed is turn radius, so if you lower your speed you'll turn a smaller circle.
You didn’t mention rear brake
How do I get this bike
Bad pronunciation
Nice video, I've been practicing slow turns but I find it incredibly hard. Need to work on my clutch control I think.
Love You Brother ❤ Keep Going No Matter What Happens I am always with you Brother ❤
Hmmm... Can this be easily done on a bike with a DCT?
Which model motor did u use in this video ?
Hi! It's Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Classic
Thank you for the tips and great content 👍🏾
Thank you for the excellent tuition. I wish you good luck and safe riding.
It helps a lot. My bike is standard 350
Most commonly called the "friction zone".
I will practice this and practice again and then practice some more
Engage clutch to use like accelerator
Brilliant videos which make the instructions simple to understand.
Wish I could take your classes.
I think simply breaking is enough 😂 I tried to play around with the clutch, learned quickly that it should be left alone during turns 😂 brake it is.
that's poor technique. You need to be in the friction zone.
How about automatic scooters?
Very important...
Mario is that you?
Почему нет на русском?
Love your channel. Thanks
Thank you.
Nice
Thank you !
Thank you
Great
Thanks 👍
"Pull in your clutch" - laughs in Honda DCT
Looks eaay
@@robinsturdivant-bruton7994 yeah, it's a bit weird when you first ride but you get used to it. It's recommended you use the back brake to put it under tension & blip the throttle. Bret Tkacs does a good breakdown of it on an Africa Twin. Whisky throttle situations can be horrific though, a thing to be very wary of, as you can't just declutch it.
Great tips.
Great tips 👍
Drag the rear brake for more stability. Counter lean and keep the center of mass high
What do you mean by "keep the center of the bike high"? Needing clarification. I'm new.
