Andrei your tutorials are so underrated. Great educational style, thanks for having one of the better, simpler, clearer tutorials on how to do controlled moto-maneuvering on RUclips.
Greetings from Vienna to the, in your own words, “crappy part of Europe!” What you lack on Motojitsu in subscribers you make up in terms of clarity. Keep it up, man. Love your videos!! I used to ride on street and track when I was younger. Then live and job and things got in the way and I had to stop. 30 years later I am now taking lessons again while I wait for my new bike to be delivered. Can’t wait. With your videos, I now understand some things that I intuitively did right back then, and I also understand why I did some things wrong. Cheers from an old dog learning new tricks!!!
Greg Widmar (MotoJitsu) is quite overrated and self-absorbed anyway. He has become sort of a douche recently by stretching his grasp beyond motorcycle training and entering ‘life advice’ - never a good idea, especially with his Ex-Marine-Corps know-it-all attitude. Also, his ‘books’ are lame and recycled common basic training contenr (if you can call them books, essentially being 40-ish pages of doodles for around 20$ apiece… printed somewhere in low-tier Chinese print sweatshop by glorious ‘Amazon Press’)
Dear Andrey your tutorials are priceless. I just bought a new bike that is heavier than what I’ve used to. It stressed me at first, taking it out for a ride every day for fear of losing control. Watching your videos and practicing every day, especially low speed maneuvers, I start to gain confidence and feel relaxed and comfortable on the bike more and more. Thank you.
This tutorial made me purchase perks and has made my riding SO much easier because before I saw this I thought I was what keeps the bike up, but in reality the bike is keeping me up and I am just guiding it. That is a HUGE mental breakthrough that allows me to ride with one hand to prove it.
It’s crazy how good you are at teaching, i think the best on youtube whatsoever Thank you Andrei I feel like having a super skilled teacher in my pocket
Pretty good deal indeed! Tieing together slow speed turning, throttle control, friction zone all together makes it all much clearer. About to get my first bike in decades. Still have good reflexes and eyesight plus an ear for revs vs gearbox. So I am binge watching while completing the acquisition of a mint 02 Daytona. I really appreciate your comprehensive material clearly linked to fixing common rider problems. I am post retirement and would prefer to never drop it. I succeeded for six years of riding. With the help of your videos I will succeed again. Thanks for your work. /s/ Matt’s dad Dan
Thanks Andrei, the way you put together your instructions and demonstrate everything yourself, makes you the best instructor on RUclips, in my opinion. I watch different maneuvers and then practice them for awhile. I appreciate your help so much. Thanks!
Ooh I'm going to practice this exercise for balancing while effectively stopped. 5:33 I like to stop at signs without lowering my feet, so this will be a good way to get better.
I would never ever belied that a huge hefty cruiser style bike could be manoeuvred so tightly, I know there are many riders with much lighter more agile bikes that cannot manoeuvre their bike like the one at the beginning of this video. It is amazing what a little technique can achieve.
hi Andrey, I usually do the slow-speed circle & 8 loop exercise at 2nd gear (at constant 10kph) without any need for clutch or throttle control. I will certainly try the slow-speed maneuver at 1st gear with clutch control with some open throttle.
Any advice about how to handle a slow speed drop with a pillion on a fully loaded adv bike please? Stepping off is less easy especially for the pillion.
I'd like to train the friction zone with the "stop/standing" exercise for hours, but my Ducati Monster 800 doesn't allow it for more than 10 minutes, then it starts to overheat :( Oil radiator with no fan. There's no fun with no fan.
Congratulations on a great channel and its content. He's really good. ❤I have the impression that it resembles a fight from behind the "iron curtain. eg. MotoJitsu vs MotoControl. :-) Greetings from Poland. 👍
@@MotoControlEn indeed maybe fight is a bad word in English, it sounds weaker in Slavic languages, I meant competition more. Good work. In Polish YT channels, only one can be compared to you two: MCSTX. I recommend.
I have also seen some motojitsu and your videos are much better. Looking forward to see many more. And hope you will get well over the stupid war your people have ben forced into.
Nice, thank you 👌👍 I worry that DCT and newer electric bikes are going to lose us this fine control with no clutch. I would love an electric bike that added one back in !!!
I have never rode an electric bike yet, but since there is no minimal idle speed and almost no lag in power delivery - I hope that they can be controlled quite well on slow speeds too. Hope to check my theory in the future 😁
I have a question? I’m a semi new rider and I have a Honda goldwing dct… I usually work on slow speeds in rain mode and manual bcs I don’t have a clutch to use the friction zone… my question is what is the average speed for slow speed maneuvering? I’m trying to get more comfortable leaning the motorcycle… so my second question is how do I get more comfortable at counter balancing?
The average speed is probably 5-10mph, it's a bit easier if you go a little faster, especially with DCT😁. About counterbalancing - make sure you can make full-lock turns first, then pay close attention to what you're doing with your head and upper body - turn your head at least 90 degrees into the turn and turn your chest as well, so your shoulders become parallel to the handlebars, on Goldwing it matters, since the handlebars are rather wide. And once you become comfortable with that - you'll probably notice that counterbalancing suddenly became pretty easy!
I have an amazing (maybe) idea how to do low speed clutch engaged training on small bikes. As a matter of fact usually you don't need a clutch for low speed maneuverers on smaller bikes, but it's very good skill if you are going to jump on something bigger later. So, my idea is to do clutch control training on 2 gear instead of first. It seems like quite nice simulation, isn't it?
@@MotoControlEn yes I can, but "bike stalling" situation caused by low revs like you've mentioned in this video is not possible. Honestly I didn't know, you can stall the bike by releasing the throttle. I ride the same 150cc bajaj boxer like you did recently and it doesn't stall with throttle off. Even on second gear I have to open it just slightly without stalling. Anyway I'm glad my idea of training on 2nd gear isn't mad or stupid, so thank you very much for answer abd for amazing lessons. I'm able to ride mostly because of it.
@@borisb5163 I'm not very experienced, so sometimes I stall my 150 cc bike in case I release clutch too fast. But when bike is hot I'm even start from second gear sometimes.
Hi Andrey, I appreciate your video very much. Would you please allow me to make a copy of your video and upload it to my RUclips channel @狐狸先生Aerofox after adding Chinese subtitles? Most of my subscribers couldn't understand English very well and they rely on my translation service. Of course, I would cite your channel as the video source, so they could know about your channel too. --> @狐狸先生Aerofox

I love seeing a bike doing full-lock turns, smoothly. I aspire to do that and will keep viewing your videos.
been riding motorcycle since my college days, didn't know anything about riding, thank you for polishing my riding skills by watching your videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks for all the tips without BS, roll on Sunday...
Your videos are brilliant dude.
Also you somehow have a chilled attitude that helps me feel less nervous for my next upcoming lesson.
I ride a ct90 with a centripetal clutch, so I drag me rear break quite often. Still learning. Thanks for the videos bro.
Same 🙋♂️
Your videos are the best thing a biker who wants to be better can ever get. You explain the principles so well.
I feel like I need to try taking a motorcycle riding class again after watching these videos and really give 2 wheels a try
I 100% recommend so much fun to drive
Awesome for covering DCT! I have an ATAS DCT and it’s spot on. I also put it not in Sport mode but regular
Great teach on and about "dragging
" rear break
Ooh I'm going to practice this exercise for balancing while effectively stopped. 5:33

Truly excellent tutorial, because of the easy to understand explanations. From a 66 year old lifelong rider.
you gotta love this guy. his accent is hilarious. but....he cranks out good stuff!!
Love your riding tuition style...and brilliant sense of humour 😋

Thank you for your valuable information
You are brilliant man, and I love your Italian accent all the way from Moscow
Love that throaty rumbly sounds, what did you do for it? Is it mainly just tuning?
Excellent video
Thank you very much, I want training today on counter balancing more and more. 👍

What's the gear position when practicing slow speed..?
1st or 2nd gear..?
Great video, very very useful.
This is great, and it’s 50% of what you need. The other 50%, go out and do it REGULARLY.
I have also seen some motojitsu and your videos are much better. Looking forward to see many more. And hope you will get well over the stupid war your people have ben forced into.

Wow, wonderful and easy explanation!!😊
I'm gonna use this to get license in indonesia, its very tight space , thank you very much
Thanks for making those videos. Great stuff!
Best instruction I've seen.
Thanks!
Your videos are great good info and make total sense
Nicely explained.
Great explanation!
all in one💙❤
Great video 👏
big biceps yes - not the other things please😆😎
Outstanding video

turning radius can be reduced to 0 if you throttle hard enough

Even dumping the clutch without open throttle will not stall it? I would think you likely already have good clutch control.

Спасибо, друг! Кип гоин :)
Awesome video. How tall are you?
186cm (or 6ft, if I remember imperial correctly 😁)
@@MotoControlEn Thanks man! Awesome, same as me :)
All good ideas until you grab the front brake. Then you're gonna drop it in just a parking lo

Too bad this aint gonna work on a 50cc single.
