    Probably the best tutorial I’ve seen. Learning smooth throttle and clutch control is essential. Jerking the bike is sign someone need to know how to properly handle these controls.
    @Sungym , you said when we are downshifting, we lose rpm, and we need to give a little juice to match the rpm as we slowly releasing the clutch.
    What rpm values for what gear?
    When in gear 2 does that mean we want to be around 2000 rpm?

    • @SunGymLive
      @SunGymLive  2 роки тому +1

      So rpms would be dependent on the bike and how you ride. The difference in RPMS from the 400 and the GSXR 600 are a lot different. I typically shift gears between 5-6 rpms with normal riding and with more aggressive riding around 10 - 11 rpms. Remember you can ALSO rev match to down shift I'll link a video I made for that. ua-cam.com/video/yBwN_GXKnIs/v-deo.html
      This is how I down shift that way I can down shift at any RPMs and not have to slowly release the clutch.

I was so scared of it i bought a scooter to start on instead of a bike. I have bruises all over my ankles from snatching my feet up and down and savinv the scooter from falling but im getting better. I make myself go out there every day. Im fine while im going but until i get to the point where i dont panick when i start and stop im not leaving my apartment complex lol.

    I bought two Ninja 400's. It's not my first motorcycle but it's the first sport bike I've rode. My son's, age 20 and 22 will be riding them and it's their absolute first time on a motorcycle. They're learning in our back yard and taking the MSF training courses.
    This is a very good motorcycle. It's on the very edge of what I think is a motorcycle for beginners. This motorcycle has awesome 0 to 60 times wich makes it possible to get into some serious trouble on it. It goes over 100 mph so works for highways and shorter freeway rides. I personally like a bigger bike for freeways, but nobody will be riding more than 30 to 45 minutes at 80mph. Learning to ride a motorcycle correctly takes years of practice and this is a wonderful bike to ride. It's a beginner sport bike. It's quite powerful for a first timer though. Control your writs! This 400 doesn't kid around.
    For around town it's kick ass. The acceleration keeps up with the big boys around town. It's only over normal operating speeds, including freeways, where a more powerful bikes overtakes it.

    BEST TUTORIAL! I'm new to clutches.. Never learned on a car and I'm a new motorcycle rider. Is it bad to just when you're approaching a stop sign or light to hold the clutch in and click down a few notches to first? That's how I've been doing it because I can get Rev matching down

    • @SunGymLive
      @SunGymLive  2 роки тому

      Listen you CAN get rev matching down. We even have a video on how to rev match!!!! And no its not bad that you do that I just call that lazy shifting. It took me a minute to learn how to do it and its really fun to do. You get to hear your bike go vroom vroooom vrooooom as your down shifting compared to click click click

      @@SunGymLive I'm getting a little better at up shifting before it would always jerky when I went up a gear because I wasn't doing it right and still do it occasionally.. I really need this question asked because I'm tired of my bike always jerking... So when I'm coming to a left or right turn and don't need to stop fully I'll do the lazy down shift like you said lol to 1st gear and as I'm turning I'll get on the throttle very slightly and still my bike jerks and it's embarrassing because everybody can see and also scary because it jerks me a little closer to cars and that's not good. What am I doing wrong?

      @@rickyrichreacts9667 So if you know you are turning ahead you could 'rev match down' before the turn to the appropriate gear or normal shift down instead of lazy shifting. YOU don't need to go all the way down to 1st gear to turn. Keep that B in 2nd gear. 1st gear is really jerky if you don't have good throttle control.

      @@rickyrichreacts9667 When coming to a complete stop you would go down to 1st. Let's say you are pulling into a parking lot you could stay in 2nd then when you find your parking spot as you approach it bring in the clutch shift down to first and slowly press in both breaks to stop.

    I remember when I first actually took some time to look around a bike, before even hopping on one at the MSF course, I was way weirded out by all the knobs and sticks protruding out. I thought, where do you rest your feet?! I don’t know what I was expecting, to find some car pedals or something? 😂 Oh, to be a biker newb, good times.
