Just got 1st motorcycle at 45 years old. You make the Uturn look easy, but for a beginner it truly is harder than it looks. I really appreciate you taking the time to post tutorials like this and I plan to utilize your instructions as best I can. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Now get out there and practice :)
Eddie, the U turn God...thanks for this. I have been practising u turn a lot since your first video. I am now mainly practising between two raised kerb as well as main road and anywhere I can really and i realised that, this gives added pressure to the u turn. I practised so much that I am now able to do u turn within 16 foot on my triumph Sprint GT (large, heavy bike) where I though it was not possible before. I just wanted to share with you and your viewers.
Thanks again man.
Awesome!!! You're welcome!
@Susan.Palet9 about 280kg Susan
Thank you so much! Just giving this or any of your videos a watch makes me feel more confident :) just did 10 u turns in a row and managed to complete a figure of 8 twice!
nice!
Im seeing and then practicing...thanks from south korea as beginner. Always appreciating..bye
You’re welcome!
I’m a new rider * got my endorsement yesterday * and my issue with the course was turning from a stop and I turns but I’m going to study your videos and most likely buy your book I want to be as prepared as possible as soon as I ride out into public streets thanks Eddie!!
Congrats! You're welcome...keep in mind, it takes a LONG time to master anything...2 days in a basic course ain't going to do it...it's up to you.
Nearly up to 700klms on my mt03 and practicing these. Really getting the feel of the bike and the controls etc. Slowly getting more confident. Practice practice practice love it
👌🏼keep at it!
I love that you include scooter…..that’s what I have. 170cc and most classes require 200+cc scooters. I’m having a heck of a time finding lessons. Your videos are very helpful to me.
I've been riding for 12 years and still feel I need to practice this, thanks for sharing, another very useful and well demonstrated viseo
You’re welcome! Yes, no matter the years or miles, we all need to practice in order to get good at anything.
I won't even get my license if I can do a u turn both ways in between the space of only 2 parking places. The u turn and 8 turn are really the 2 only things I got trouble with leaning. Just can't seem to get it right aspecially for the right turn. Often losing power during the turn. We only use the throttle (ofcourse) and the back break. Not the clutch aswell. So need to have some gass and then controll the speed with the back break. Its hard man.
You are the first instructor I have ever graced that has the ability to take the fear out of learning . The way you turn shows the actual head phrases and form necessary to build confidence in being an active participant. Awareness is everything. You save lives. Thank you for this class.
Thanks!! :)
400 videos?!
I know what I can binge watch for the next week.
Don’t tell my boss, he thinks I’m working.
👍🏼
This is what was killing me on my Basic test. I have never rode a bike and did really good on everything else. but u turns and tight turns was killing me. Thank you for the videos.
you're welcome!!
If you haven't already, check out MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, merch, etc.
Man bro you're videos are always helpful. I'm a beginner and just by watching your videos and others like yours has help me trimendisly and has encouraged me too can't wait to take my MSF1 course and other saftey courses. Thank you Fast Eddie.
Thanks Juan!
you make it look so effortless, certainly inspiring to get myself out and practice! I think one of the things Im most jealous about is your ability to practice in the Sea World parking lot!
It's next to Sea World...and it's a public place, anyone can show up. Go practice!! :)
I Follow all the youtube movies and i recieved now the book every day i see a youtube movie and than i practice on the field i lurn a lot thank u keep on the good work danny from belgium
thank you!!
I just bought a Triumph Street Triple. Haven't owned a bike in probably 15 years, and I've never had a license before only permits. I am signed up for the safe rider course next month. I started practicing U-turns and set my beautiful bike down at about 2mph turning right in a parking lot :( I was so depressed. I came across your video where you talk about using the clutch to regulate power and to never pull it in if the bike begins to fall. It saved me once or twice today when practicing, I have a ways to go, but I get the idea. My arms are just so tense, I keep telling myself shift weight and piano fingers lol, but it's tough at first! Only had the bike less than a week I can't be too tough on myself. Anyhow, thanks for the videos, hopefully the 250cc bikes they use in the class turn as well or easier than my street triple so I can pass this course and move on. I would like to get to a point where I can comfortably do a U turn without feeling like I'm about to drop my bike.
It takes time to get good at u-turns or any slow speed drills....but the learning curve is much faster with proper technique.
I have a little parking lot picked out that's on my route to work and I'm paying attention to the things you show which can be practiced without set up. U-turns like this look to be a perfect candiate. The goal is to get in ten minutes of practice each time I ride to work. I'm ready to learn once the snow finally disappears.
Awesome! Do it!!!!
I just started riding again after a 30 year break. These drills are very helpful and the information in the videos give me something to think about when I'm riding.
sweet!
I noticed dragoin the brake slows the bike n stabilizes(also seems to quieter the revs.) it n keeping the clutch in friction zone keeps the trottle from being over sensitive . Letting off brake . N easing clutch out a bit more pulls me out of turn without having to do much with trottle . Sounds better feels better. U been saying to implicate this stuff in multiple videos. Doing it was way harder then listening to it . Thinking I'm heading it rite direction . Thanks for the help
Keep at it!
Have you thought about giving the camera lady a raise, she sure is doing a great job. Thanks for the videos.
lol you're welcome
His camera is probably his wife.
I have been working on my U turns on the new bike for a while on a quiet road with a median. My turns are about 30 meters apart and with a slight incline/decline on each end. I also go from a stop at the end of the median to simulate the gas pump scenario. I have been doing this for about 3 weeks now and it has been very helpful to increase my confidence and control of the bike.
Last night I mixed it up and did the drills at night. It is not a well illuminated area so the only real light is from my headlights. U turns went well, but when I transitioned to just riding in a circle is was scary AF. When I turned my chin I was looking at nothing but darkness. I had to stop after a while as it was messing with my head, even though I know the area well. Good training....back at it tonight until I dont need diapers anymore :) lol.... People should consider trying their training routine in the dark. It makes a difference.
Doesn't sound like a good place to practice if you can't see! lol
MotoJitsu that is what I realized while looking into the abyss. I may put some flashlights out for help. I am in the Philippines and at night this is often the case and you only have your headlights as street lights and other illumination is usually not available.
Ahhh ok...well, if it's a big enough area technique is technique, practice is practice :)
Can’t wait for book collection. For the amazon Kindle is easy to carry around but still wanna have real one. I’ll share your knowledge with people in my country. ❤️
thanks!
@@MotoJitsu how fast you are replied. 😂
I’ve been watching fast Eddy for quite some time now I’ve got an a lot of useful information and tips anyone who can support please do so maybe buy some merch so he can keep doing his thing shout out fast Eddie as usual
Thank you!
Just picked up a 400supermoto. Learned to ride in a couple hours. Not a pro but got pretty good already.
fun bike!
If you need to do this exercise in the Netherlands for the exam you are not allowed to use the clutch and you are not allowed to run the motorcycle stationary. Instead you need to hold the throttle (while in first gear) and adjust the speed with your rear break when making the u-turn.
ok, many ways to do a u-turn.
I get 45mns lunch 10mns to eat 35mns watching your videos
hahahaha
Eat faster, see more videos! 😆
salvatrucho rider503 you need to learn to multitask👍
Ordered the book yesterday, looking forward to reading. Thanks for the advice, it’s invaluable. 👍
thank you!!! :)
I like these 2 the earlier one helped me a lot along with communicating with u on your Q&A live show . Thanks so much my u turns r better I’m going to hit them hard again before I go in for my surgery because I won’t b on the bike again for at least a month or 2 ,but hopefully not an longer .
I'm glad they're helping out!
Best U turn demo I have ever seen. Thanks for explaining it.
Glad you think so! Now go practice!
MotoJitsu® I think I’ll buy your books first, and practice the right way. I see your progress over the years. I believe I have been practicing with bad habits, I hit the wall and can’t progress.
beside the good content of ur videos, I really wanna thank the person filming all of ur vids.he is doing a great job. 🌹
Thanks :)
Acoustical background: The police bikers are coming to pick you up - because they are jealous of YOU!! ;-))))))))) Great job again!! Thanx!
:)
If you didn't know, I have a MotoJitsu app! Check out my website MotoJitsu.com for the links as well as my books, merch, affiliate links to Revzilla, courses I recommend, etc.
You're a legend mate. Would these lean skills also be used on roundabouts? If you haven't already done so then could you please do a vid on how to approach roundabouts and how to ride/lean correctly in a roundabout. I always feel I'm going way to slow in them. Be most appreciated.
U-turns are for under 5mph or so.
Hi,really love youre videos,makes us all better drivers.
Was wondering about youre book, as i live in sweden.
Would it be possible to buy and send?
Once again thank you for time and effort to make us all better!
I Ride ZX10r, due to suffering Head Injury 20years ago and being in a 2month coma im finding it harder doing R-hand u turns, so just quick question can I do u turns on my ZX10r without Riding my clutch?? I've already mastered it just helps to have some feed back, Thankyou
Well worth spending time on a Sat.afternoon taking careful notes on your U-turn explainations. Now, I am curious about your book. Tell us more about the contents/price in a video. Will you autogragh books? Will you come to the Rod of Iron festival in Oct. in Greely Pa.? I saw palm trees in your video so I know you are far away.
I have videos about each of the books, and now the books with the drills in them is now an app. I live in San Diego.
MotoJitsu.com for my new app, books, etc. Thanks for watching!
are you turning the handle all the way? is it clutched all the way on 1st? are you adjusting with clutch at all? or your maintaining one spot? and about how fast are u maintaining? is the throttle being kept steady at one point? thanks in advance.
No, no, yes, no, no, no
Have you ever tried this on an rc51? I’ve done U turns on this bike but not within the space you have here😮
Always valuable, always good. Thank you!
You're welcome! Share with others :)
I'm not looking far enough/turning my head !
I've always had a problem with u turns. I'm going to practice this.
Go for it!
I like your video there is background police siren music ... hahaha ! Nice vlog dude
Thanks
Another great video man thank you. Due to significant amount of center of gravity change, do you recommend practicing on a full tank of fuel, half tank or low level. Or does it even matter for beginner riders?
It doesn't matter for any type of rider or any type of bike...all of that is completely irrelevant. I do the same things on a Gold Wing or CBR 1000 or anything else.
Great video Greg,,,, i always laugh to myself thinking about when you did that CRAZY BLINDFOLDED video. You always prove anything is possible. I never stop learning from you... Big THANKYOU !!!
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Hi Greg, just bought your book, looking forward! Greetings from the Netherlands!
thank you!!
Great video Any tips on overcoming the fear of doing u turns. I drive a 900 lb Harley-Davidson Tour bike and have dropped it five times. In all fairness I have not practiced. One reason I drop the beast is I pull in clutch out of friction zone, watching this video you showed how to do it without touching the clutch. This gave me the incentive to get out there and practice. BTW I’m going to support your cause by buying your tee shirt
Awesome! Yes, you said the answer to your own question...go practice. Put in 30 minutes per week and it'll help you out a lot...this may help too ua-cam.com/video/zG0G2FfaMts/v-deo.html
MotoJitsu Thanks for your help I actually bought two shirts
You're welcome and thank you!!
Someone did some serious burnouts in that lot.
Sure did
Are you full lock in that first set of u-turns? It's unbelievable how fucking smooth you are on that thing.
Turns out if my impatient ass watched the rest of the video it's clearly answered lol. I do alright in mine but I've picked up the odd habit of sticking my leg out like it's motocross to help counter balance. Or maybe it's not for balance just something I do to help concentration. Vision's always been my worst aspect, but it seems to be like 90% of motorcycling, 9% throttle control, and 1% everything else :P
No...never went to full lock.
Sir should i lean the opposite site when i countersteer or should i lean the side where i countersteer???
For slow speed turns, there's no "one way" to do it...try every which way and see what works best for you.
We're you using the rear brakes to slow down before you approach the turn???
Maybe, that's one tool to use.
You make it look so easy lol
It is if you go out and practice!!!!
@@MotoJitsu lol I do 😃
Sweeeettt
Hey, sorry to post a comment on a 1 year old video, but does the process of making slow turns get more complicated with a cruiser? I just got my first motorcycle, a 97 harley softail custom. 80 cubic inch, 650 pounds wet, and trying to learn to do tight slow turns are killing me....and my poor bike. I've dropped her 4 times so far.
No...each bike has its own challenges but it’s the same fundamental technique :)
Good video!! Thank you!!
thanks! :)
just have ordered ur book ;) tnx Ed!
Thanks Alex!
I was working on this last night. Combined with ur figure eight video. The one when you mention yo bring your speed up to at least 8 mph. Wut part of friction zone r u suppose to be in when u go to dip bike in . Cutting power part.or given power part. Plus I seem to have trouble over reviving if i try to maintain a steady low rpm while trying this . N if I try to just slip clutch in friction zone it bogs like I'm going to slow
N tips.
Just need more practice...go spend more time experimenting and see what works.
Just spent a couple hours practicing and I just can't get them as tight as I'd like, more practice tomorrow!
yes!! keep at it
@@MotoJitsu what's the normal distance for the U turns? Will be ordering your book soon to :D, Cheers
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
@@MotoJitsu I've always struggled with u turns I ride a yzfr125 and I'm a new rider will definitely be practicing and watching that video again thank you and keep doing what your doing I always learn something from your videos 🤙
Hey Edie, the question is, if you use your rear brake to make the u turn tighter? I am new to riding and want to know as much as possible! Thk!
You can use your front or rear brake...doesn't mean it'll necessary make the turn tighter...go practice u-turns for a hour a day, you'll improve :)
Looks like your head turn does all the work. Your bike goes where you’re looking. It also looks like you aren’t having to fully turn the front wheel.
Vision is key! No, no where near full lock...just need to lean the bike over.
would really appreciate if you could demonstrate slow speed techniques on a scooter including figure 8😁
love your work❤
Once I find one to ride
Nice to see u again after ur accident best for u I order ur book thanks for excellent information
You’re welcome
Do use your rear break?
Sometimes
Eddie, I know "a bike is a bike..." and you ride a GS...Sooooo... I was wondering if you could do some demos on a K1600GT/L. I have one, haven't had much opportunity to ride it yet. Coming off a bad accident, I'm a little unnerved getting back in the saddle on a heavy bike with (what I would consider a high CG). I'm sure the general principles are the same, but seeing you do it would be pretty cool too.
Yes. ua-cam.com/video/o5Qkan3rmEA/v-deo.html
Thank you great job.
Thanks!
Hi Eddie, always usefull your video's. The camera work was not super in the first half of u turn video. New camera lady? :)
There was a lot of moving around for this video, wanted to show you various angles...you get the point :) Go set it up and practice!
25ft = 7.62m The (alternative) MOST test box is 6.1m or 20.5ft roughly. So this is heaps of space.
Practice time!
I know bike does not matter. I hear you. but, I feel your bike (in the video) looks easier than my bike. when I turn in my bike, the handle bar in fact locks and it is not wide like your bike which means, the lean angle of my bike needs to be higher. I feel this is more difficult in my bike. not sure. Wish you could demo all this in a Triumph Street Cup.
Each bike is different..needing different things but the technique is the same.
@@MotoJitsu Thanks! When I try to make sharp u-turns, the handlebar touches the tank (the cafe racer style is low bars). If I had a higher raised bars (like the street twin), I think it will help to make such turns easier. I am learning and cant wait to go out today and practice more.
Yes, the steering is very short...gets to full lock soon. You'll have to drag the rear brake more, slip the clutch and lean the bike way more. Remember I had a S1000R, handlebars moved about 3 inches before full lock.
Just started following you on instagram! Your youtube videos are awesome, been watching them when I should be working. I just started riding a couple months and they have helped me so much thank you for posting!
Thanks!
Brilliant skills. I'm just wondering what gear you were in when you did the turns without your hands on the throttle, is it 2nd? Wicked throttle control. Thanks for the video.
This whole video is 1st Gear :)
how about for scooters there is only throttle and brake.
@@lapulapucityrider3227 Did you miss that part in the video? I did this one handed, no clutch, only throttle, etc...even with the bike off...bike doesn't matter. Re-watch the video.
MotoJitsu thanks, i believe this is the 2nd video about u turn. I still find it hard to make uturn without placing my foot on the ground as a guide. Might be i am afraid to fall off or overshoot in the street.
It's harder to do on the street when there is a crowd looking at you. Easy peasy at the parking lot.
that just means you need to practice more.
How wide are the parking spaces in America? They look bigger than in Italy.
Usually 8 ft are parking spaces.
Practicing this tomorrow
Sweet!
So when you lean outside then turn, do you recommend counter steering or turn the handlebars physically?
Are you going less than 10mph? You're just directly steering.
@@MotoJitsu Oh, I do sharp u-turns from a stop.
@@zanjisu Like this? ua-cam.com/video/C6EhSm1sjtc/v-deo.html
Maybe a little arrow in the video showing exactly where you're looking would be great.
Go practice, that’ll be more beneficial
Just bought the book!
Thank you so much!
Good job team!
thanks

@@MotoJitsu While I am trying to rehab my new/old 2002 so I can take my aged butt out and practice all your exercises and get back into riding, Im watching videos from the Isle of Man TT races. OMG, those guys wrapped around those two wheels and an engine going 200+ mph just freakin blows me away. Incredible riders and incredible machines. And I think of Fast Eddie and admire you even more for being part of that life. Ill just be happy if you guys share the road with an old guy like me. 🙂 Cheers.
I share the road with everyone :)
Gawd! Someone who does U-turns like I do!
:)
Moto jitsu this is one thing not good at lol seem to not ready and too slow seems wider than my test u turn? Find harder on bigger motorcycle?
Like anything, takes a lot of practice...bike doesn't matter.
Do you make the U turns in 1st or 2nd gear?

This really helpful for a 15 yrs old rider like me😁 (using 150cc bike)
Sweet!
@@MotoJitsu OMG my sensei just reply!!! I just subbed
ミザン I reply to everyone I get notified about :)
@@MotoJitsu ah btw, did you ever made a video about how to brake properly? Cuz im not too good at braking
4.30 police coming. 😝😂
👌🏼😁
Subtitles at 4:31
🎵👏🏽
Jitsu cool but I'm frightened at getting wrong on my new motorcycle 😢
get crash bars and get to it
@@MotoJitsu still damage my crash bars lol 😅 and I'm hoping not to drop put my foot down first 😂
if you're not willing to accept the bike may drop, you'll probably never get any better at slow speed control
@@MotoJitsu lol 😂 I’m just want to enjoy when gets old maybe 🤔
Jitsu I thought the idear was to keep up right 😂
Flawless
:)
Best U-turn I've made was when my buddy's bike hit a car on the highway. I was up ahead. Hit my rear brake hard enough to lock the rear wheel while doing about 70 mph. Bike slid out on its left side as I cranked the forks around and snapped the throttle open. Completed the 180 in a scream of tire rubber, smoke, and down shifting. The power pullout straightened the bike up, and I was on my way back to my buddy. Thought that was what you'd be doing here?
Nope.
Lol
Why turning right seems harder to me
Most people have a preferred side....rights are normally harder for people due to trying to control the bike and use the throttle at the same time.

Boring
“So I must comment”
@@MotoJitsu sorry I like the most of your videos. And saying it's boring is maybe to easy. Even though I need some instructions. When I'm on the bike I hear your voice saying things like: body, head, bike! Anyway keep on going.
What’s the point of saying anything then?
so glad someone likes you exist to share these drills and info. Improving day by day
Thanks! Share with other riders :)
i guess Im kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good website to stream new series online ?

@Jason Ty thanks, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !!
@Jett Dorian no problem =)
You're the man...Great job by your camera lady as well, she's always spot on.
I'll be practicing this and the swerve counter steering this weekend.
Also ordering your book, thanks for teaching this old dog some new tricks!
Thank you so much Tex!
This is brilliant, you are brilliant.
I failed my test in UK in '93. Two reasons, I dapped a foot down on the mandatory U turn; slight rear wheel skid on the mandatory emergency stop. I was disconsolate and had no confidence that I could do any better on a re-test so the learner bike was mothballed and I've not ridden since. I so wish your videos existed then, it might have been a different story! I discovered them recently and it's been a revelation learning so much that I didn't know when attempting the test. You have given me confidence that this is do-able and I now have the appetite to give it another try. First of all, the mothballs have got to go!!
Thanks! Over 300+ videos to go through :)
Nice video, FE. Deceptively simple, yet really well built up, the different viewing angles and repetition make you think about the how and when.
Thanks! I hope it'll inspire people to shut up and practice :)
Very good, I've followed your advice (two month) and now I'm more confident when I ride.
Awesome!
they called in the police, cuz you killed it
hahahaha share with others!
You, Sir, are an amazing rider & instructor. Thank You for these videos. I may have watched at least half of your catalog this week, and I'm implementing the knowledge and tips into my daily practice and riding. Feels like I'm improving daily.
Awesome!
Ugh..... the dreaded U-turn. You make it look so easy! Time to get out there and practice some more.
;)
Where can i get your book? I would love to remake your videos and vlog it in filipino version.. thank you
No, you or anyone else are not allowed to remake my videos.

I have seen a few videos of yours but never came across this one till today 👍 you make it look very easy and I know for a fact that it isn't! With loads of pratice I will get in there, very helpful tips, good video mate. Safe riding 😀
Thanks!! Check out my playlists...can make what you're looking for easy :)
I will do, definetely! I have been riding for the last 3 years with a 125cc motorbike but recently took my full motorbike licence and have bought myself a bigger motorbike 🏍️ I have to say that I can't compare a 125cc motorbike to a 600cc motorbike, a bigger motorbike is definetely much easier to ride and to do manoeuvers 👏👏👏 I had a blast doing my full motorbike test, I did loved it, 1 of the best things I have done in years 👍 obviously there are a lot of things for me to improve and everyday is a learning kerb 😁 many thanks.
:) nice!

My favorite educator that I've never met .
And he never likes my comments. Lol jk I could careless, but he is my favorite teacher.
When a guy like this of this magnitude of quality characteristics that becomes an instructor
Of any topic.....Be greatful. I am.
Great video again, thanks Fast Eddy! Been a beginner rider for three weeks and am putting in the practice. Ordered the book to take practice to the next level 🏍🏍🏍
Thank you!!
I hate U turn... Man it is difficult^^... Great tips. Hopefully never drop it again
Thanks! Go practice!
