Hey man I’ve been watching your videos recently since I started riding this week. When you get to a stop. You hold the clutch and use your leg break always? Not the right front break? Thank you if you’re able to answer this question. -at what speed should someone slow down to do a turn? And do you also use your leg break in turns? Thank you
Use both brakes at the same sime usually. At very low speeds under 10mph you can use the rear brake only. Try not to brake in a turn. If you must then extremely lightly apply the front brake and don't use the rear. For a beginner around 10 to 15 mph is good for most 90deg turns at intersections. Really just take it at whatever speed is comfortable.
@@TstatusTV thank you!! I’ve been riding for a couple days now and def gotten comfortable with the rear break like you said at around 10-15mph. Use the rear during traffic / and coming to stop signs correct? Or mostly use both? I’m scared to use the front breaks cause I fear I’ll pull the accelerator trying to pull the front break. Def gotten very good at breaking and used to turning so far. Thanks for all the tips and wise words
Keep up the lower speeds, so many new riders speed to much and get pissed at other cars. We as riders look so small to them its tough to gauge speed maintaining lower speeds and good space cushions are key to avoiding "near misses" . Check out DanDan the Fireman, he has a great channel on positioning and riding. Keep up the good work and keep practicing.
One of most dangerous kind of streets for a motorcycle is a road that has a center turning lane that's used by both sides of the traffic, do urself a favor, and on those roads go way under the speed limit and if you see a car about to get into the center lane, just slow way down and stop if you have to
You’ve got the bike I’m gonna be getting soon, same deal. Won’t be able to take my msf course for a few months so I’m gonna be riding it without the course for a while and it’s encouraging to see somebody getting more comfortable with their bike even without the course
Stay safe brother. Also please don’t leave your key in the ignition literally any passerby could have stolen it. Not enough trust in the world to leave it like that.
Last thing. Practice counter steering. Push with the right hand to go right and the same with left. Worjs at low speed but is tye only way to steer above 15mph.
I've been grilled that covering your brakes is a big no-no. I've heard it makes your hand position incorrect since reaching for the brake should naturally roll off the throttle
@@TVGuapoArcade Okay but.... why? I described the reasoning I've heard as to why being able to cover the front brake is a bad idea. Just saying the opposite isn't very compelling
@@Tomshwom Time is the reason why. If you can’t throttle control using the two finger cover, you need more practice. If the brake is ready to be squeezed immediately, and not after you’ve let go of the throttle, it’ll make a big difference in response time.
@@TVGuapoArcade nope..... never cover brakes or clutch. Pulling clutch voids any engine breaking you would have had, don't pull it in to stop fast. Covering the brake means you can pull the brake without rolling off throttle, also bad.... also, having brake available for panic situations leads to panic breaking. If levers are adjusted correct, you shouldn't be able to cover brake while on throttle, if you can, you'll be pulling rather than squeezing if you do roll off throttle. Cover levers on track or in any riding course and you'll get yelled at 100% for those reasons, by all means, ride your ride, but don't encourage others to pick up your bad habits.
@@TVGuapoArcade not to mention, proper throttle grip is twisting with thumb and first 2 fingers, if you'r covering with those fingers, you arent holding the throttle properly and are sacrificing throttle smoothness......
One thing I suggest you stop doing is hovering over the clutch lever and front brake 100% of the time. You should always have a good grip of the bike. It’s best to hover over them only when you’re anticipating something. In a parking lot practice sudden stops using your clutch lever, front brake and rear brake together. There’s plenty of good videos you can watch. Good job overall for not taking an MSF course.
Great tips, man. Iam not from the US, i can not, for the life of me, understand this type of riding without any form of training. I got the same tips you gave in the course we need to take, it brings the basic skill and confidence you need to ride properly.
@@TstatusTV that’s pretty cool man, much respect to you. I’ll hopefully be getting a motorcycle pretty soon and look forward to enjoying riding like you!
Just a tip. Don't use front break at slo speeds or coming to a complete stop. If your front wheel is not straight while using front break, the bike wants to fall.
lol, what??????? Panic breaking is an issue, not breaking into corners or at slow speed.... back break has no use on the street while you're moving, use it to stop rolling on a hill at a stop light if you want to give your hand a rest, that's about it.
He's right. You have no business touching the front under 20kmph. The front is for slowing down. If you're already slow, then it'll put you down on the ground. If you don't believe, then pump some front brake the next time you're doing a U-turn and see
@@HeldIntegralYeah, don't break abruptly, but i always use both brakes and finish with my front and put my right foot on the ground and have my left on the shiftpedal. But hey, where i live we have specialist training before we hit the road..

normal people: "fuck that dude, bro is probably on his phone or something"
This legend: "what a cool guy 👍👍"
😭😭
I always yell YOU FUCKING KAREN!!!

Thank you for the kind words. Yeah I watched a lot of DanDan before I started riding and it definitely helped.
Hey. May I feature this video in my new episode? Watermarked and linked to your channel of course.
Yeah for sure
@@TstatusTV Thanks a lot!
@@TstatusTV lol, you know you hit the right audience when @moto-stars here lol
Love riding down in The Valley. Small world.
You're doing a great job. The raw authenticity of your channel seems to be a winning formula.

I got my permit but failed the MSF exam, just gunna start practicing in parking lots and ride around town then take the DMV road test
Remember, the rear break creates stability.
You’ve got the bike I’m gonna be getting soon, same deal. Won’t be able to take my msf course for a few months so I’m gonna be riding it without the course for a while and it’s encouraging to see somebody getting more comfortable with their bike even without the course
Just take it slow and don't do anything you aren't comfortable with. Watch a lot of videos lots of good informative content out there.
Stay safe brother. Also please don’t leave your key in the ignition literally any passerby could have stolen it. Not enough trust in the world to leave it like that.
Don't stop directly behind a car. Stop in lane position 1 or 3. Make sure they can see you in their side mirrors.
Bro keep doing your thang, so excited for you and I’m enjoying your journey
When low speed turning. Look where you want the bike to end up. I can't explain it, but it works every damn time.
Any speed turning, look where you want to go.
@@TVGuapoArcade agreed!
Wow I ride those roads through the valley all the time, nice!
“ is it fast? “ proceeds to stall out
Last thing. Practice counter steering. Push with the right hand to go right and the same with left. Worjs at low speed but is tye only way to steer above 15mph.
At 2:35 you can hear that slipper clutch putting in work
For someone who hasn't taken an msf. Your driving pretty damn good!

Two finger cover for brakes and clutch.

Also question for you man, so no msf course meaning you’re just riding around without a license? And no prior training ?
I have a learners permit. All of my "training" is from youtube and self teaching
@@TstatusTV that’s pretty cool man, much respect to you. I’ll hopefully be getting a motorcycle pretty soon and look forward to enjoying riding like you!
I just got the same bike and new to sport bikes too. ride safe brotha u got this!
@7:10 that was a wide turn you took, not tight 😅
lol so casual , what a cool guy
Just a tip. Don't use front break at slo speeds or coming to a complete stop. If your front wheel is not straight while using front break, the bike wants to fall.
This is a horrible tip. You should always brake with both. Just don't grab a handful of brake and you won't fall
lol, what???????

That is a good point, especially if your on a heavy bike that mistake will be a problem

Didn't realize you were from Ohio too small world.
You need to get out of the bad habit of riding in the middle of the lane and riding/stopping directly in the middle of the vehicle in front of you.
facts! i just wrecked yesterday and almost died. stay out the middle lane
It’s hurting my bones lol
why? (i don't ride)
@@salihefee car crash behind you, hit you, you become pancake
@@y.j.6311 that make sense, me thank you
