  • If you want to learn how to ride a Honda Grom, this is the video for you! This is a BEGINNERS guide to riding a Grom or other motorcycles that should help people starting out on a first bike.
    This is a no shame video where I teach you the very BASICS of a Motorcycle as well as how to ride one. I go over all the parts like the switches, buttons, levers, etc on my Grom and tell you the importance of which and how to use them. Following that I start my riding tutorial where I teach you one of the many ways to learn how to ride a bike. This includes how to shift the motorcycle, how to brake, and how to turn. Many of the tips & tricks I teach you are from my own experiences teaching myself how to ride. The Honda Grom or Kawasaki Z125 are great bikes to start and learn how to ride a motorcycle. Either option would apply to what I teach in the video.
    Now for the people that already know how to ride, this video wasn't intended for you but feel free to watch! I can already hear the comments from people telling me they already know how to ride a motorcycle...congratulations. For the people that will ask, I still don't think the Grom is the best first bike, but I do think its the best bike to learn how to ride on. If you found this video helpful, please let me know! And please. for those learning how to ride make sure to wear protective gear at all times!

    I watched this video last year when it has 8k views. I had just bought a Grom and had no experience whatsoever riding a motorcycle. I have never rode a dirt bike or a standard vehicle a day in my life. I found this tutorial and started learning to ride it literally because of this video it was the only tutorial I had ever watched on how to ride. At first I had a lot of trouble with starting in first gear and stalling the bike for beginners out there trust me I stalled this A LOT. What I wasn’t doing was throttling slightly before the point of friction then using the clutch to determine how much torque the engine was getting once I figured that out I NEVER stalled the bike again. It’s definitely a learning curve for beginners but once you figure it out it’s soo much fun. I must’ve watched this tutorial 20+ times and still come back to it to see how I’m doing. I know I pissed my neighbors off riding around my culdesac 100x with my aftermarket exhaust but now I ride it everywhere. Thank you so much Anthony for the tutorial I honestly don’t think I ever would have learned how to ride without it!

    • @yessure5291
      @yessure5291 6 лет назад

      A person will develop bad habits and poor skills by learning from a non qualified 'instructor' then some day if they want to ride on the streets with a proper license they will have to unlearn so many things.
      We discovered that at the school where I taught. Dirt bike riders were harder to teach than a new rider who has never ridden.

    Great guide, I just got a 2019 Grom. Only been on it twice so far, to play around a bit, going out to get my permit for it in the morning. First Bike, but the 2 hours I've spent on it so far have been quite possibly the most fun I've had in the last 4 years. Stalled it out a few times getting it moving from a stand still, but it's a comfortable little bike, and I feel really comfortable with it. Well comfortable zipping up and down the street at 30 anyway. Didn't specifically go looking for a Grom as my first bike, but my brother got a new bike, and gave his wife his old one, she used the grom to learn how to ride. So I'm buying it at a great price, and I fell in love with the little thing after such a short time on it. I've spent all my free time at work today watching videos of all the people riding these things, I can't believe how big of a thing these little bikes are. I've never seen anyone on them out by me, but I'm hoping I'll run into some now that I've got one. Nearing the end of bike season, but I figure if the weather isn't bad, frost bite be damned I'll be puttering around for fun.

  • @Skiamakhos
    @Skiamakhos 2 года назад +2

    Quick addendum on the indicators / turn signals- anyone coming to motorcycles from a car will be used to indicators self cancelling once you've finished your turn. Motorcycles generally don't have that except a very few that have inertial sensors. You must remember to cancel the indicator yourself. If you do not, and you're in a country where you drive on the right, and you make a right turn, you will be indicating that you're going to turn down the next side road on your right. A car emerging from that road is going to see your indicator & go "Ah, he's turning, I can come out..." & you'll run right into the side of him & over the hood. Same goes for left turns in left driving countries like the UK. Always cancel your indicators!
