Good training absolutely starts with that clutch control drill you did with her. Creates muscle memory, as you know. Another advantage to holding the U- turn at least back to center is you create an option for another evasive turn either right or left
She did great!! That's a lot of bike for a new rider with pert near no road experience. And your teaching also is excellent! That makes such a huge difference as well. Good stuff!!
This method works much better than trying to teach new riders as well as tenured riders to use the clutch, throttle and rear brake simultaneously. Trying to teach proper clutch engagement, with proper throttle engagement and proper use of the rear brake, is much to confusing for most riders. Most training sessions and courses teach that, and that's why most riders never attain advanced slow speed skills and if they do, it takes much longer, and the control developed is not near as controlled as learning total clutch control first, then proper throttle/rpm engagement and then learning proper use of the rear brake. The proof is in the pudding as you see in the video.
That's a big negative! as you can easily see, its all about proper training and total clutch control. It's actually easier to learn these skills on a bigger bike. Stay tuned for another beginner rider who only spent 8 hrs on a small bike and went straight onto this bike and watch what she will be doing. Be careful who you listen to on UA-cam.
She isn't afraid to lean the bike.Thats the total opposite of most new riders...awsome.
Nice video Jay. Glad you are still preaching the “gospel” of slow speed motorcycle skills.

Great progress for a new rider. Drop guards doing the job of protecting that bike. 👊✌️👍

Solid work !
I have moved up to an Indian bobber from a 650suzuki and am struggling. This is nice to see.

Where are you located, I would like to take your class, I am in Houston Texas
Kingwood
Thanks Jay! How can I schedule a class? Is there a web site?
Take the rear floorboards off so she wont break a ankle. Change the clutch lever the brake lever and the brake pedal to ergonomic ones Softbrake
No floorboards on this one , changed handlebars back to reduced reach , those mini apes are way too wide :(
Good work but somebody new should practice on a smaller big .
I mean a smaller bike !
