"Maximum lean at the beginning" something so obvious, yet it never clicked for me before I watched this.
:)
Bro i feel like im stealing from you from watching these vids for free. I gotta buy some merch
Thank you!! :) Over 200+ to go through motojitsu.com/shop
What you mean bro he should be getting paid for the views and how many people see the ads
@@nemesis-ro3oh bro shut up
This is one of the most helpful videos about cornering I’ve seen! Great demonstrations!!
thanks!
Thank you Eddie for making this video! I just got my licence not long ago and I had friends telling me that my turns are quite worrying and I have totally no idea what it is as they can't explain. I realized what I can work on after watching your video. I always turn too early like your first demo turn and went wide at the end of the turn. Now I have a better understanding and gonna practice my proper turn! Thanks so much!!!
Awesome! Take more high level courses when you can and I have an entire playlist on cornering :)
This is incredibly useful. I feel like I'll go into the MSF with some level of awareness. Not confidence, but awareness. I was completely clueless about a whole lot of stuff until I found this site.
:) thanks! Many more to go through :)
"We are what we do regularly, excellence is not an act, it's a habit".........Aristotle...........
Nice!
Awesome
The quote “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” is not actually by Aristotle, it’s by Will Durant, huge misattribution, search it up.
Hey, Eddie! I have learned a lot about cornering with your videos and exercises. Thank you for share your knowledge with us. You are a good instructor and you should open your ridding school. If you had a ridding school, I would travel from Mexico to take a course with you. Saludos!!!
You're welcome!! Glad you're improving, get out and practice!
Me too but from Italy! Thanks for all
Me too, but in England, UK.
I'm jealous the six people around you! They are lucky to have you with! Keep the good work Eddie!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks!!!
@@MotoJitsu Totally agree with George Pipinis
This guy is really good at explaining and demonstrating how to corner on a motorcycle. I wish I had him teaching me when I was doing my pre-learners course. 👏👏👏
thanks...now go practice! :)
I love the translate, when the engine on, it said music, ofc its music for a biker
You're a great teacher, you have the talent to explain things clearly, break it down to significant chunks and showing what every step of the way meant when you do it the wrong way AND the right way. Plus the confident energy motivates me to ride and learn every time.
Just need to find a parking lot this calm and clean lol.
Thanks!
I would go straight from portugal to learn some valuable stuff with you! You are great! Thank you so much, you're a great help!!
Thanks!
I have to say that boy in front was the best at listening and paying attention, thanks for helping him out!
Glad you’re out there helping people, and doing it on one of the most versatile bikes ever, the R1200GS. The “cow” can run with the sport bikes, or cruise all day with a passenger, and even take on some trails, all in one day! I can tell you read A Twist of the Wrist, did you ever do the CSS?
Thanks!! I haven't yet.
Great video. Great demonstration of how it can be seemingly very small things that put you into a much tougher spot than you should ideally be.
Exactly!!
Great motorcycle content and well organized, keep 'em coming!
Thanks! Over 300+ videos to watch!
A REAL TEACHER ! RESPECT !
Thanks!
Finally I got and installed the sliders. Now I can practice. Thanks for the videos
Sweet!!
Interesting. Had to watch a few times and probably a few times more. Your videos are the first and only ones that I actually use UA-cam's reduce speed feature.
Nice!
Hello Eddie! First of all i must say thank you for your kind teachings. When i watching your videos, i'm learning a lot of things about riding. You're like Altın Elbiseli Adam (R.I.P Barkın Bayoğlu). There is a lot of things to say.. Without extending the word (It's an idiom in Turkey :) ) i want to say thanks again. Wishing all the best for you and the other rider brothers. Greetings from Turkey.
Thank you so much!
Another excellent video with great tips. Loved the question about going around the corner with a car coming the other way. Really puts the importance of correct cornering into perspective
street riding, 2 way traffic.
These are so informative I’m boggled I didn’t crash when i first started riding this summer .so many goofy things i did starting with positioning and turning and crappy safety awareness.
Thanks! SHARE IT
@@MotoJitsu i will brother!!!
Thanks for your videos! What is the fix for having the most lean at the end of the turn. I have been practicing this turn in a parking lot and usually have the most lean at the end of the turn. Slower entry, turn in later???
Turn quicker in the first half...most lean before half way through the corner. Also, delaying when you turn it.
Ok for the record this is by far the best cornering lesson I have ever learnt!!! I learned to ride in Dubai and there the instructors only safety tip is to kit up and nothing beyond that. They want you to just follow instructions and follow mindlessly. They don't explain the cause and the effects.
I need to take my license for North America again and I wish I could come down and take a day or two instructions from you. It will be better than any riding school.
You are the instructor every would be rider needs. Amazing!!!! Hats off to you. I think I am a fan spinning at 8,000 rpm!!!!!
God bless you.
BTW I am sure you must have mentioned in many of your videos but what is the technical significance of turning your head?
Thanks! Opens your peripheral vision, slows down your sense of speed when you look further ahead, less eye strain, etc.
@@MotoJitsu Wow that was fast. Indeed all that surely sets the body & the mind for the upcoming task.
Most important take away for me is be in decisive control of the bike.
Always learning .. you're a great teacher.
Cheers, charlou.
Thanks!
I hope to be as good as a rider as you are some day!
You can be! Take courses and practice! There's no secret to it, but most are unwilling to do what it takes to make it happen. Hoping won't accomplish anything...you must do.
wow those guys are really lucky to have that one on one coaching. I have taking two courses and I feel that only thing I got is more theory .. I need to get with a school or riding coach that can teach hands on, demonstrating, explaining and making you do it to correct you. Great video man.!
Thanks!! See if you can get into these :) motojitsu.com/courses
Hi Eddie! Need your advice. I`m thinking about choosing a seat option for BMW GS1200. Im pretty high 6.6. I used to think until recently, that if you a tall guy, you need a high seat. But just by chance, I tried a lower seat option for the motorcycle, and it immediately became more comfortable. I think the way to think about this is if you seat in a car. The taller you are, the lower you put your driver seat, to have good ergonomics, and if you short, you crank that seat all the way up. Any thoughts on that?
The GS has a low/high position built into the seat if you take it off and look...that what you mean? Other than that, I would leave the seat as is and just practice to get used to it.
Not sure if you covered this in past videos: cornering and street paint. As in crosswalks, PED XING, speed limit paint on streets. I have seen Tour De France racers eat it, as they corner and hit the street paint. I know the tires are much different, but as a new rider, would love some insight/tips.
Good idea!
I know what you mean. I made a right turn at a street corner (where there's alot of paint) and my back end slipped out. Track your line to avoid or minimize contact with the paint. Also reduce lean angle and avoid harsh trottle inputs. GooD Luck
next step: cornering while applying a Rasengan
👍😊👍 gonna practise again this coming sunday. Line, vision, trail braking, counter steering, when to commit a turn, standing up the bike in mid corner and emergency braking. But b4 that gonna warming up the tires sir Eddie.
Smart!
Yo Eddie ! You have a gift in teaching. You're an awesome rider and from hundreds of youtube videos, you are the only one who actually taught me valuable things that might have actually saved my life on some roads. I thank you for that and bow before you, master ! I feel like you're talking directly to me. It's amazing how nice you show all the situations and explain everything. Your true fan and fellow rider. Much love and respect all the way from Romania 😉.
Thank you so very much!!
Bevor you have the drive licence you must go in a curve "scool!!!! like this good job man!!
:)
That was great advice.
I’m going to take my bike out and practice.
Awesome!
I'm new to motorbiking and have been looking through your videos. Great information thanks. I've done the courteous thing and subscribed.
Thanks 👍🏼
Can you come up to Vancouver BC for a couple of days to teach-I will supply the riders !! Take the Oregon coast up-Spectacular !
:) Sounds like a good ride
That was a very good instructional video. Very logically well put together. You certainly know what your talking about
THANK YOU!!
I still feel like I'm not safe doing this head thing with the body cuz I'm not seeing how the road conditions are when I'm pointing my chin to the "direction I want to go" god demn it this... And this Bad weather not letting me train the corners... everything messing with my head
Absolutely gold dude, just discovered you and you're the best source of knowledge i did ever hear.
God dam you! I have to start saving money now to get to USA from Finland and get to shake your hand and impress my gratitude to you🤩👏. You have taught me soo much about riding bike correctly. Here is long winter coming and ridig a bike is quite extreme cause of the snow, icy roads and freezing conditions. But I just deside to buy wintertires with spikes, that I can keep practising your stuff👍 all year around!
Thanks!!
Good stuff but think head turning or looking where you are going is too emphasised, is so in nearly all riding courses at the loss of scanning road just in front. Scanning way more important on road, especially in the country as road surface will bring you down well before exit will.
Great instructional video. Gets the points across clearly. Thank you
Thanks! Share with others MotoJitsu.com
Another great vid, thank you. There's so much to riding properly and safely.
Thanks!
I've been doing practices in the parking lot at work using your advice.
Just yesterday I got lucky on the road during a slow turn, It had rained earlier in the day and I hit my first wet street lid.
The front tire slipped a little but thankfully the MSF training, and what I practiced thanks to you in the parking lot came in handy, applied a little more throttle to make the bike stand back up. I'm just waiting to get hit by my first stone now. I heard that's going to scare the crap out of me.
Do as Eddie says, Shut up and Practice!~ It will help you loads!
lol good on you for saving it! Hope you're wearing a full face helmet, won't be too bad if you are.
It’s very possible and more common than many people know - one person can make a considerable difference.
Edward Chalkhands is one of those people. He is the most consistent, most descriptive, and most technical on all of youtube.
When is your franchise coming out?!?
As always best explained kick in the butt to practice . Thanks a bunch !
:) thanks
Sound advice my man !!! Thanks
You’re welcome
And once you learn basic cornering you can work on advanced cornering like going through twisties on a 1000lb harley touring bike with another one 2 ft away on your side the whole time
Bike doesn’t matter once you get your skill high enough.
It's a great idea that you did this, well done, it's like a fast Eddie bike school 👍😜
Great tips as always.
Thanks!
Definitely a great teacher. I practiced this morning and pointing your chin make a big difference. Thanks... And thanks for commenting back
nice!
Great video. I'm gonna head over to your patreon. For the online viewers, it's hard to see what's going on from the apex to the exit of the turn. The camera perspective is just a little too low. If the camera person could maybe stand on a small 3 step painters ladder, it would give us the perfect field of view for this and similar setups.
Thanks!!
Woah i completely needed this. Thank you for the incredibly helpful video, my life-span appreciates it ;)
You're welcome :)
FYI: Have you heard about my other UA-cam channel? It's a podcast where I interview interesting people...it's called MyIgnorance. Check it out :)

Need to practice these! I still have some of the problems pointed right here! And funny enough, I don't have them if I have another rider to follow! (with my head and eyes) ;-)

Actually that's a good tip.. imagine you're following someone round the corner.
Good video. Excellent instruction. Good chops. Thanks to Jersey tourist season I've gained quite a bit of experience in the past few weeks. Just gotta do it.
That's awesome!

Great videos. Two lessons I learned late in life, the correct line and practice cornering using only your engine+gears, no brakes.
All depends on your pace....you can ride through turns and never use the brakes but you'd be going at a very moderate pace...when you're going faster, the engine won't slow you down enough at all. Mastering the brakes is key. Learning how is only possible through high level courses like champschool.com
MotoJitsu Hi. I wasn’t suggesting as a riding style but a practice. True about pace if this is quick you won’t slow quick enough. I used to do it the other way around, braking for corners easy, was turning in to early, being in the right gear at the right time not so much because i’m off the throttle and don’t live on the track. For touring the wide entry, engine braking added so much smoothness, less brake and about 10-15 k to my cornering speed. Overall a more smooth consistent and enjoyable ride. Great video by the way, on point.
Do as you wish but at a certain pace, rolling off and engine braking won't slow you down...if you're just cruising at 30mph then you probably don't have to do much of anything.
Love this motorcycle and video. While you come to stop, you press the kill-switch to turn it off? Cool. btw., the way you turn and handle this BMW motorcycle is just so amazing. Does the boxer engine add to the stability of the bike? I have not ridden a boxer engine before and love the R 1250 GS.
Yes, I pull in the clutch and hit the kill switch. This bike is one of the easiest to ride.
I just bought a 2014 Harley Dyna Switchback. I swore I’d never get a bike unless it was a Harley. I know. One owner, immaculate. Maintained. Low, low kms. A trade for a job I’m doing for a long time client. A once in a lifetime deal on my dream bike that I couldn’t afford otherwise and I couldn’t walk away from. I’ve never ridden before. Not really. Laid a Honda 500 on its side when I was 13 and had a low speed wipe out on a gravel road with a Honda 50. I’m 60. Next week I do the written and then I start on professional training with a licensed instructor. Watching these and other videos on learning to ride I alternate between anticipation and excitement and then fear. What am I getting myself into! I knew if I was going to do this I was going to learn the right way but I honestly had no idea everything that is involved in being a safe rider, and that doesn’t account for the unforeseen dangers. Maybe I did bite off a bit. Just have to wait a few more minutes for the fear to reside and the anticipation and excitement to return. Lol
Fast Ed thanks as usual for this nice video. Safety comes first, the choice of speed is personal but anyway MUST be safe. So the right technique if mastered is a good tool to achive this goal. So keep your videos and information going. But, as a a matter of fact, people should get a debrief from a trainer like you. It is never enough to watch videos, it will of course help in many ways, but at the end of the day one should do this training with a trainer or coach. Thanks a lot buddy.
You're welcome :)
Go practice! motojitsu.com
Come to India and become a billionaire by opening a driving school..
@@lokeshd7443 ride and you will learn .. maybe the hard way,, or follow someone who will slow down for you .. i think its easy mode ..
Great vid(s)! Subscribed!
Thanks!
Very professional, nice work👍🏻 making the GS look like a piece of cake to ride.
thanks!
At these slow speeds "Look & Push" (push being counter-steering) will get you around any corner just the way you need too.
Body position, line selection, trail braking, throttle & gear selection will all come later for new riders, add steps gradually.
That's an extremely limited way to think about riding.
@@MotoJitsu I do understand what you mean, but giving a new rider too much to think about going into a turn is going to cause them to panic. If they are watching their speed, they'll be fine.
Technique is how you gain confidence, which reduces the chances of panic.
watching him lean like that is so cool to me. i just started and whenever im coming to a turn im slowing down sososo much before starting it haha
:)

Thanks a lot for such a nice explaining , learning those techniques from You from Azerbaijan🤙🏽
You’re welcome
The best advice he gives is, be able to do it in the parking lot before doing it on the street. Makes absolute perfect sense.
Hey great video and very useful! Quick question, at the 4: 20-minute mark, you state that you want to have the most lean at the beginning of the turn when the bike is at it's slowest. Is it still o.k to retain that same lean angle until you're done with the corner and throttle out? Also, at least on some turns, it looks like you might be trail-braking (?); if so, for those of us that haven't mastered that, is it best to just maintain the speed you entered the corner in (until you throttle out of the turn)?
If you lean a lot in the beginning, as you go through the corner, the lean angle decreases. :)
I'm not a big fan of that type of bike but the control he has on that bike is amazing. And I like how you explain it. All. And demonstrate everything. Good job . And enjoyed the video
thanks!
Practice saves lives..
And creates Confidence..
Thank you Moto..
Always!
also what happens if you try knee dragging without using a knee if that makes sense ? like you go over that far without trying to drag it and leave it close to the tank ?
Only time I really drag knee is practice or the track...mostly I just move my upper body.
Wish I knew the dimensions of that corner. Now I know that when leaning you have to deliberately turn the bars (I always thought that both tires had to be on the same plane.) Great tutorial. Just a quick one, is there a minimum speed for a lean involving putting the knee down? I assume you were doing so at 25mph.
I say in the video I think, 50ft diameter...or 40ft, I believe. Knee down depends on speed and how big the radius is.
Why am I watching this I already grind my exhaust, toes and foot pegs often in good turns. Throttle on front wheel slip is great advice
Wow you must be lapping WSBK riders, what's your secret?
I love your channel I’m sure you thought of it but you should get a mic for better sound
Maybe one day!
Anyone that knows to what line-up that black Alpinestars jacket belongs? Looks really nice but i haven't been able to find the exact one. Replies are appreciated!
i feel like this really relates to the saying in kendo/kenjitsu; the bike/sword should become an extension of yourself.
fuck yeah.
thank you so much i learned alot of techniques from you
You're very welcome!
I’m so addicted to riding it reminds me of my cocaine days.
I’m 58 retired got a Suzuki Boulevard C90T 1500,bad ass bike, heavy and quick.
When I’m not riding it, I’m always checking out gear and videos, these videos do help you look for certain things.
Cornering is major concern if you don’t enter correctly or are going to fast for a turn.
I had a Honda XL-100 licensed at 15 years old.
Got slowly bigger bikes.
I want a Goldwing 1800 next.
Keep at it! Take more courses :)
Yet again, brilliant advice and production. Thanks.
My pleasure!
They don't teach you this stuff in the msf, or maybe they do but I wasn't paying attention. One of the reasons I didn't get my licence.
They don't...the MSF is basic, this is way more in depth.
@@MotoJitsu oh. Gotcha.
I like the class. I learned a lot from from it and I only plan to ride a little scooter
Eddie, your teaching method of getting people to observe and asking them questions afterwards along with the step-by-step explanations are really effective way of teaching, greeting from India!
Awesome! Thanks
I hoped id make it ... I didnt and off the edge into a pole... we didn't have Eddie and you tube back in the late 70s. FUd my buddies CB 350-4
dang.
Im having trouble turning to the right what can i do to not feel like its going to fall over
Practice more right turns
Come to Orlando and do classes. I really couldn’t see much when you were on the other side it would have been nice if you had a camera person on that side also.
I hope to one day!! You get the idea :)
I can't wait to get my bike and try..as you safe.. Playing the piano safety come first. Thank you for your amazing advice
I am watching your videos again and again really it helps my handling and riding my bike I thank you for your great effort be active all time and keep safe riding 😅
You're the best! I wish I could get lessons with you. I am in Toronto
Thanks 😊
Informative video. Would be nice to get more of a closer shot of you taking the corners for the details that you are mentioning. Zoom in camera work😉. Regards John
Thanks! I have 2 playlists about cornering that'll help
I gotta give it to you guy. You should get an award for promoting motorcycle safety 👍
thanks Gary!
Could you do a video about power steering technique and hook turns
thanks for this helpful videos
What do you mean by that?
counter steering
Wow u masterize ur bike so good dude!! Nice!!
Thanks! Share with others MotoJitsu.com
Thanks a lot! ride safe!
😁👌🏼
Like your style, very clear and easy to understand. And good demo and explanation of correct delayed apex technique and why it's important.
thanks!! Share with others :)
@@MotoJitsu Will do.
Man... I didn't even really get one right.... I need more practice...what is the measurement of that corner and how far apart are the lines
:) about 8ft wide lines...maybe 50ft diameter or so
Want to improve slow maneuver skill but don't accept the idea of crashing to do it. One of your videos mentioned you crashed a few times in the parking lot as part of your learning process. How do I avoid that and improve my low speed skills?
Crashed as in I tipped the bike over....if you're unwilling to accept that may happen, you probably won't improve.
Fast Eddie’s Motorcycle Fun thanks for the honesty... I'm going to take that advice and keep my current low speed skills the way they are.
I look silly, sitting on the can mimicking riding movements. But truth, sort of kinda instills muscle memory somewhat (new rider)
It'll come with more seat time (miles) and focused attention to what you're doing.
Sir you got a subscriber, very good video, learning a lot :)
Stay blessed
thanks!
Can you pleas explain this push left to go left. Maybe I'm a bit simple but doesn't make any sense.
I have 3 videos on counter steering

Thanks!! Share it!!
Eddies such a cool guy - top drawer 👍
Thanks!
I never rode a bike
But feeling proud that i perfectly corner with my bicycle😂
Best vid yet bro.
