I've discovered this channel not too long ago and I feel that he is one of the best motorcycle instructors out there. Not only he is an expert at what he does, he presents it in a humble fashion and makes the learner quite comfortable. Kudos! It can be quite hard to have someone this good not have the ego to go along with it. He truly wants you to learn and be safe
yeah i've also seen some others trying to explain simple stuff and make it sound weird, confusing or even teach something wrong (just because it worked for them) that is completely wrong for most riders and especially beginners. But this guy right here never fails to do the right thing at teaching new (and even experienced) riders how it's done correctly.
This guy is what Motojitsu started out as..humble, experienced and well-spoken, showcasing and explaining the things an instructor would never tell you. Nowadays his ego and "fame" has gotten to him and I cant stand listenening to the guy. Thankfully Moto control came in my feed and is now my "go to" for mc info and learning. Its winter here though so wont be driving anytime soon, but its a good way to keep the knowledge and awereness ready for season start.
I learn a lot of theory from many sources on YT. Increasingly I'm noticing the value you provide in this matter and your skill in communicating your knowledge. English is my first language, so I am qualified to state that you have achieved a very high level. Your accent brings character to your lessons. Thank you for creating this possibly life saving channel.
@5:44 showing a NON fixed bar end, while talking about the feedback we are NOT seeing from the video of a NON Fixed bar end. Not intended to be confusing, but it is. Thank you for the video. I am more confident to practice my wheelie now aware of the grip angle more than ever. Much appreciated
Thanks for the video! I am currently working on my throttle control, primarily to avoid abrupt closure, and sometimes unconscious closure during maneuvers. My bike is new, so keeping rpm below 5K, still ~300km to ride before 1st oil change.
Another great video. And crazy OG that thinks he can learn to ride at age 60. Following your tips and techniques, I got my license and passed the Safety course. Great info, solid skills and great presentation! Keep up the superb work 🤙
A very enjoyable tuition video beautifully illustrated and logically explained with heaps of great tips and honest non-alarmist warnings. And I love your accent! Lol 😆
great video, i already thought i was screwed when i switched from supersport to supermoto and couldn't do the cone grip anymore bc of the wide handlebars
Great stuff!! I bought some cones awhile back, but I haven't found a place to use them yet. I'm anxious to get out there and do some slow speed work. I just bought a new Goldwing, and it handles so much differently than my cruiser. I really need to work on my slow speed skills with the new bike.
I used to use more my wrist and fingers (twisting - like you showed) to control the throttle, it resulted in chronic wrist sensitivity and sometimes pain. Nowadays I use my forearm. It's a game-changer in order to completely eliminate wrist pain and the risk to whiskey-throttle but your whole posture needs to be adjusted accordingly. People should learn to ride a dirtbike before any other motorcycle. Dirt-biking is the best way to learn to properly ride a motorcycle. It's no mere chance that MotoGP racers open the throttle with foreman movement not wrist movement and it's not mere chance that their major off-season practice consists of MX or Enduro riding.
2:43 for those that are purely curious, this was a dude riding like, a ninja 300, with nothing but shorts and flip flops. He slammed into the fence, and his shirtless body rolled right on top of those fence spikes.
Pro Communicator Tip - Had trouble understanding your voice in this video. Suggest reducing the volumn of the background music track. Keep up the outstanding work you are doing on your great page!
In order to use the full lever travel, it is best to use all four fingers on the brakes. This also helps to ensure that the throttle is closed during the braking phase.
Gonna try the figure 8 exercise. I'm pretty good with it, but find I've been handling the tight curves oddly. I'm on electric, so there's no clutch. Taking some getting used to. Fun, but different.
In my very humble experience, I've discovered that it's very easy to accurately - measure how much throttle I've rolled - roll the throttle on/off very gently - keep the throttle steady (like cruise control) even when the handlebars/hands are moving. I simply keep 2 fingers on top (not front) of the brake lever and maintain pressure on the top of the lever with my index and middle fingers. How much throttle is rolled? Feel what's the fingers' position: do they still sit comfortably on the base of the lever? Need to roll on the throttle gently? Gently press (not squeeze) on the (top of the) lever with my fingers - the palm will roll the throttle up. Or gently remove pressure from the lever - the throttle will roll off. Need to maintain the gas? Lay the two fingertips on the lever acting like a ratchet and gently twist the wrist upwards (as if rolling off) to apply some pressure on the fingers - the ratchet mechanism kicks in and stays steady. Maybe it's not a good technique. But it works incredibly well for me.
My instructor says don't have your hands on the brake or clutch when you don't use them. It will prevent accidental use when a sudden event happens and therefor you keep control. don't take my word, since I am a beginner rider.
I tend to use just my palm and index finger on the throttle, my other 3 fingers are covering the brake. I rarely have to use the brake as it's easy to just ease off the throttle to kill speed. I ride a Triumph Bonneville so I'm not on a low powered bike. It works for me.
I am really intrigued about Moto Gymkhana - can you recommend any resources on learning more about those techniques? This channel is awesome. I practice almost daily in car parks and usually review the videos before I head out.
@@MotoControlEn I am so interested that I would obtain such Russian books and run them through a translator app to read them 🙂Can you share the title/author? I will look them up!
Great video. I have one problem, I am very used to always pull the clutch all the way in whenever I break, which I feel extremely comofrtable when I need to really break fast, since I don't have to roll out the throttle becasue when applying the clutch I can just let the throttle out instantly . But many instructors have told me that is incorrectly and I have a really hard time breaking that custom of mine. I also use the clutch when doing trailbraking. So, when you apply braking, do you use the clutch?
Hack: use those throttle clamp thingy (I don't know they're called). It's cheap, easy to install which literally just clamp it to the throttle and will make you accustomed to a safer throttle hand position, not to mention you don't need to grip your throttle at all.
How do I keep steady speed while doing long slaloms? The bike I am on is jerking like crazy even with minimal throttle changes. Any tricks to keep continuous speed at all times?
Why to close it manually i just let go my throttle and grab it the way we started making perfect use of time while letting go use breaks i do use manual closing but very less
Hi Andrei. I enjoy your content and I learn a lot even though I ride for quite a few years now. I was wandering if you could post a narrated ride around Buenos Aires. During my courses I had an awesome instructor who would ask me to narrate what I see and what I'm going to do, so that he'd know whether I missed a sign or anticipated a car cutting me off. When I did something iffy he'd mark the time and discuss it with me after the session. Now I ask people to record such rides so I could compare thinking of experienced riders with my own - for safety but also just for fun. So far only Roadcraft Nottingham did so with his pupils, e.g.: ua-cam.com/video/08Ew0p0tNy4/v-deo.html - I find such videos very informational but his are specific to UK (driving on the left side of the road). I was hoping to see such videos from other countries. Besides, Buenos Aires is beautiful city and I'm pretty sure people would enjoy watching it even on mute.
@@MotoControlEn But in my country, you know there are a lots of barrier for riding bike.We can get license after the age of 18, so without licence we can't ride bike.That's why I asked you that question.

Yes, been following fortnite for probably 4 years now. He does some excellent video and instruction. He is in my top three.

The master at it again.
Thanks. Trying to get into riding and I genuinely never considered these points about the throttle.
That's why i love my 50cc scooter, full throttle all the time can't really feel it anyways. Saving the video for when i can afford a nicer motorcycle.

We were taught not to cover the front brake in my msf course. I ride a non abs ninja 400 so that would be risky for me to do.
Hi Andrei, just wanted to ask which one is the right thing to do in a corner. Rev match to slow down + brake, or brake + rev match? Appreciate it!
Match first, then brake. Dont risk reducing braking zone, be in the right gear first. Dont grab it in the corner
@@RedMo46 Thank you!
For the slalom around the cones do you just brake to slow down or use the friction zone since you maintain a constant throttle?
I use both for different bikes at different speeds, but the friction zone method generally is more universal

Practice makes skill, some shouldnt be allowed on the road before they have the skills
Throttle death grip also gives you too much steering input which causes death wobbles to blow up into a high side instead of self-correcting.
How do I keep steady speed while doing long slaloms? The bike I am on is jerking like crazy even with minimal throttle changes. Any tricks to keep continuous speed at all times?
like your vids for new riders
I tried my best not to laugh during that scream. Its not a laughing event, but you set me up.
Χριστός Ανέστη!
im used to holding the clutch when i need to break front wheel even if throttle is activated... is it ok?
Could you cover what happens when you abruptly close the throttle please
You'll go straight into an engine brake and it can make the bike very unstable, shifts the weight on your suspension too fast
Why to close it manually i just let go my throttle and grab it the way we started making perfect use of time while letting go use breaks i do use manual closing but very less
For me personally, I am always giving the middle finger to my front brake. Provides good throttle control and the brake is always accessible.
Do you have a Rumble account? Crash compilation channels pixelate crashes which is annoying as hell. Anyway, Rumble needs more motorcycle content.
Not yet, been too lazy to move to a new platform😁
I just make my grip lose and it automatically goes down I will still have enough space to hold my front brake and do down shifting
The only thing louder than the rev limiter was all the girls' ovaries exploding within a 100 foot radius.
Every whiskey throttle clip: In Soviet Russia, bike rides you.
Very informative....thankyou.

How do I keep myself calm when I'm taking a turn
By practicing turns a lot in a empty parking lot. Practice builds confidence and lessens anxiety.
Top, I was a whisky driver, young 😅
rosia ?
2:55 "Don't have a death grip on your throttle, hold it like you would... hold a neck." (Man the Russian educational system sure is different)
I like to hold my clutch in give it throttle till my rpm’s hit 27000 then Let the clutch out as fast as possible
Thank you, Russian Evan Peters.
Дружище, я тебя спалил с первых двух слов!)) Удачи в развитии канала)
so ive been doing it wrong damn, i thought you release the throttle and the throttle automatically rerolls back and then press the break.
Been trying to find that intro clip everywhere to no avail. Can anyone help a brother out?
