I own a Royal Enfield classic 350 which weighs like 200 kg , not exactly a sporty bike and most people refrain from pushing the bike to its limits but man once I started to explore the bike and it's behaviour I can lean and balance the bike like no other bike the weight actually inspired a planted confidence and the bike has become too much fun now
I know that feeling! I've started with a Yamaha xjr1300 that weighs 240 kg and its weight and power were a good motivation for me to learn as much as I could to be safe. And it's always fun to ride a bike that YOU like 👍
Good video to watch for newbies chasing 1000+ cc bikes after getting their license 😂 after 15+ yrs of 125cc now I am happy to practice these on my duke 390 ❤
This is very interesting and useful for low speed. However, even being an average (at best) rider, my advice is : don't practice this way only. Mastering the low speed end of you bike is very important but you have to improve your riding over the whole range of speed. By all means, ADD this to your training program...but train for higher speed TOO😊
I've been riding motorcycles since 1978. Practicing at low speeds is the best way to start. After practicing at low speeds you'll be safe doing manoeuvres at parking lots, tank stations, doing u-turns and in slow moving traffic. You cannot stay at high speeds forever. You have to stop once in a while. Therefore you need to learn riding at low speed first. Then you can practice at higher speeds.
That is true, the more you learn the more you know. Skills from stunt, trial, off-road and track riding are all improving your overall riding level and safety on public roads. I also recommend people to try and master as much as possible
I’ve always struggled with slow maneuvers. My instructor said “just follow me” and thought I’d learn instinctively by copying. Others say to counter steer. Using hips makes complete sense to me and I’m going to focus on it. Thank you.
Best tutorial video on the subject. I mean really, great job buddy and thank you, you managed to explain i 6min what most others didn't in hours. Keep them coming.
That's a good question! In gymkhana world it is really important to learn some good throttle control So even for the bikes that require clutch for better results, I would recommend learning how to do everything without clutch first, and then adding clutch While giving extra control over the power output, clutch hides some aspects that you need to master anyways, and it's also too much work to do for beginners with the clutch technique when they just started learning some basics
@@artem.savilov In most European countries you need to master low speed maneuvering using the clutch before you get your motorcycle license. They don't change the sprockets on the school bikes 😉 This is basic stuff and very important. Where did you get your license?
@@fuglbirdno need to act like a very smart guy, my friend. This video is dedicated to the sport called Motogymkhana and has nothing to do with obtaining a driver's license
Great video, this is a topic that is not usually covered. Can you create a how to about vision and what you're looking at during these stages from Motogymkhana perspective.
Such an amazing video. Thanks for posting, greetings mate 🎉. Waiting for the next one. Loved the editing Question: pelvis but Not counterbalance right ? I always wonder why selfsteering and Not countersteering in these manouvers, whats the difference?
Thank you for the comment Here are my thoughts: counterbalance is a useful tool when the goal is to make a safe u-turn in low or unknown grip conditions, or on a random (especially larger) bike that you are not familiar with. It may also help when the turning space is limited. When it comes to time attacks, there is no such question as grip, so you can keep your body further inside. Countersteering is used when the speed is higher, in corner entry, for example. Hope that answers your question
@@artem.savilovThanks so much for taking the time to respond! I really like your style and the way you perform. Keep up the great work, and best of luck moving forward!. Your answer means a lot thanks! Really love the editing !!!! Greetings from south america
Mate, I tried all of these this weekend and the full lock rotations are a pain in the rear! Something about the "full lock" just doesn't feel natural and it's going to take lots of practice. One thing that was rough is also the "gaze" as the turning was so fast, I was getting dizzy lol. Had to find 4 points of focus to keep me from the circle dizziness. Any advice for practice full lock would be appreciated!
Thanks for the feedback! One of the main factors why full lock on your bike doesn't feel natural besides speed, is your tires' shape. Aggressive oval shape is the best, the bike goes full lock automatically once you shift balance to the side then. At least make sure the pressure in yours is not too low, especially in your rear tire, and after certain amount of practice, tires will become more oval anyways. Getting dizzy with that kind of gaze is something I should have mentioned in the video. Do no more than 2 full rotations and then change direction. You can also try the "ballerina" method to avoid dizziness. The point is to shift your gaze inside as much as you can, hold it there until your body with the bike rotates much enough, and then repeat. So that like you said, you have 2, 3, or 4 fixed gaze points per rotation. I will also make a separate tutorial on rotations and gaze styles in the future
@@artem.savilov I'm not in this overly technical training where you lose people for my taste, but more a training based on the feelings of each person with especially motorcycles adapted to beginners thanks to my 125 cbr which teaches you to ride a motorcycle with the body thanks to their lightness, bikers have motorcycles that do not correspond to their level, too heavy and too powerful which prevents them from being good
@@artem.savilov bikers don't know how to open the throttle with such a powerful motorcycle so for handling it is light for a big motorcycle but the 125 cbr is better lol
@@artem.savilov Thanks. Gymkhana skills are simply amazing. As are the police cone drills on the bigger cruisers. Fantastic skills to develop and great fun.
Thanks for the feedback! Many bikes with stock sprockets will have a similar issue Without mods, clutch might be required to go full lock A short guide for that: 1) learn how to go straight at
@@artem.savilov okay, thanks for the tips. "clutch might be required to go full lock". to go slower and tighter you mean? I can go full lock circle on idle I think
Great video. I'm curious about speeds of idle. from my point speed at idle more 16-18 kmh (10-11mph) gives me bike that doesn't want to make any maneurs and go just forward, but you are using 14mph. need to test. maybe it is the way to learn how do full locks without hands.
Thank you! In most cases I've faced the problem is old tires with low pressure. Next possible factor is suspension settings Feel free to dm me on Inst if you need my help with this
@artem.savilov from your last video when you beat Tsujiie i thought that you just use another version of physics. I'm far away behind from your skills and speed. I used different tires with same result, but maybe it is because i use cruiser bikes and possibly different trail is the reason, or maybe i'm just too afraid to fall from 300+kg bike. I don't know if my suspension is set correctly, but at least set it to make more or less stable bike. Thank anyway!
