Great tips. Will just clarify for most new riders, unless you're starting on a super powerful bike you'll definitely be shifting from first to second WELL before 30 mph. Probably around 10-20
The speed may vary depending on the bike. I still listen to the engine more than my speed.
@@ProriderCentralTexasUA-cam same for me. Motorcycle, car, anything . Just seems natural after you hear for years
Is it bad to stay in second gear while a light ( I just started the video so if he answered it sorry)
@@jonahpowell9118 It won't hurt anything to be in any gear with the clutch pulled in, but starting from a stop in second will usually be a lot of unnecessary wear on the clutch because you will have to slip the clutch longer and let it out slower. Or you might stall out if you don't slip the clutch until you get to a speed where the engine will run and have power in second. Most bikes are geared to start in first. Usually though, if you end up coming to a stop and you aren't in first yet, the bike will downshift fine while running with the clutch pulled in. I've been there where I had to stop quickly and didn't downshift all the way, you can just shift down once you're stopped. Better though is to practice downshifting as you slow down so that you are in the right gear to move again, this is taught in most basic rider courses and learning to do that really helped me operate my bike more smoothly. You can even learn to rev match as you downshift while braking for smooth downshifts as you slow down.
@@jonahpowell9118 I am in first gear with the clutch pulled in when I am waiting on a red light. My left foot is on the ground and my right foot and hand are on the breaks (rear and front) in case a vehicule hits me from behind and I find myself in the middle of the intersection where I can be hit by traffic rolling on the green. This is what I was taught many years ago and I have been doing it ever since. I see many bikers who are waiting on a red with both feet on the ground. Very bad and dangerous habit.
Sir you told us what we are here for in 3 mins other ppl couldn’t deliver it in 20 mins . Great vid thanks sir
Thank you sir and I hope it helps you. Thank you for taking time to watch.
After watching you shift so smoothly, I realize I have been trying to shift too abruptly which was causing me to get stuck in neutral. I wouldn't shift softly, but I would try to do it so quickly that I didn't make sure the shifter was moving all the way through N to 2nd. The camera angles were immaculate!
Thank you for watching I am glad I could help.
Love my heel toe shifter for that reason.
Same for me too. Pressing too quick.
I also got stuck in neutral. Now I just been taking off in second gear
Thanks for the video. As a beginner motorcyclist, this helped a lot.
Shamefully admit that I have accidentally shifted into neutral more than once.
You are very welcome and it happens to us all ha ha
I’m 67 and new to motorcycles. Your instructions are awesome. I’ve been riding a 50cc scooter for sometime and ready to move up. Learning and having fun while I still can.
Thank you very much. It's never to late to start ha ha. Thank you for taking the time to watch.
I’m 47 and I was thinking it’s too late for me to start. Thanks for your post. Now I know it’s definitely never too late to start.
Well, just turn 63 myself and I just got my permit, finished my first riding classes and now looking forward to getting my license and finding a cheap cruiser to start with! Not looking to race, just to chill and cruise.
This the only guy who mentioned the approx. MPH of a shift 👍👍
Thank you for watching 👍
Hard shifting and preparing foot to shift ahead upon taking off are my best takeaways here. Great tips! Thank you sir 🤘
Your are very welcome and thank you for watching.
thanks for the video, I love how always your videos are short and to the point.
Thank you this is one thing that was not covered in MSF. Picking up my bike today and glad I watched this video was not sure when to shift past second gear.

You answer basic questions that I carry in my head, such as the ratchet function of the shifter. Every video of yours teaches me something very useful that I did not know. Thank you for not assuming that a bit of knowledge is universally known.
Thank you very much I am glad my videos are helping. That is what this channel is about.

Thank you sir, knowing that shifting strong enough and won’t go to a higher gear, you clarified and put me more at ease. Good info 👍🏼
I am glad I could help and thank you for watching 👍🏼
Well done. Especially making the point of gears can change only one level per shift.
Thank you and thank you for taking the time to watch I really appreciate it.
Thank you! This is great advice for a brand new rider like me!
You are very welcome I am glad I could help.

Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comments. 👍
Loved this video Og helped my mistakes before I can make them .
Glad this video was helpful and thank you for watching.
Paul this is such a great video that I return to it often. My my videos I found that chapters are so beneficial to viewers. Chapters are easy to add after the video is uploaded, and they add so much value to the viewers like myself. They allows us new riders to re-watch certain parts. I hope you consider this, have a great day!
I just checked and there shows to be chapters on this video. Can you check again and let me know if you see them on your end. Thanks
This helped a lot. My wife and I just got 2 smaller bikes to start learning on and the shifting was worrying is!
Very glad I could help. Keep me posted on your progress.
Thank you for sharing your videos. Recently discovered your channel. As a beginner rider, appreciate your clear and direct way of presenting your material. 👌👍
Thank you and thanks for taking the time to watch and welcome to the channel
Hi from Ireland. I've just bought a Royal Enfield Bullet and, at 70 years old, am returning to biking because the bug never leaves you, does it? I spent weeks watching videos from all the main instructors but recently happened upon your site. Wow, what a breath of fresh air. It's a totally waffle-free zone. You hit the salient points right away, Boom, Boom, Boom. They’re still fresh in your head when the lesson ends. After a career listening to lectures, I know the importance of Bullet Points and your's hit the target every time. Again, while all the good sites cover more or less the same issues, most of the points are lost in wasteful, unimportant, chat that relegates the important stuff into the background. Your presentation style is almost unique and does the job perfectly, every time. Well done, I'm a convert. Keep well.
I really appreciate the feedback and insights. Sometimes I second guess myself as we all do at times. You are right about the bug and welcome back ha ha. Thank you for taking the time to watch.
Great tips thank you.
You bet and thank you for taking the time to watch.
I seem to understand or somehow it clicked in my head the relationship between rpm/mph and knowing that it varies for every motorcycle where the shifting points are at. Thank you. You're close up of your rpm/mph helped very much
You are very welcome and thank you for watching
Thanks my guy. That helped a lot. Stay blessed.
You are welcome I am glad it helped and thank you for taking the time to watch.
Great video my friend. Love your delivery and straightforwardness. Plus I already learned from you. I tend to shift too often cuz I was told I should but i'll try your way. Thank you :)
thank you for watching and let me know how it goes the next time you go out.👍
Simple and to the point. Thanks!
You are very welcome.
Dallas Texas here!!
Appreciate the way you explained things in a simple terms, awesome 😊😊. Thanks for sharing
You are very welcome and thank you for taking the time to watch. I am glad I am able to help.😁
Incredibly helpful information, thank you sir! I'm guilty of #3 for sure and the other one which isn't on the list, is putting both my feet down when at a stop but hey I'm workin on it.
Just keep working on it and it will come. thank you for taking the time to watch I really appreciate it.

My problem in later years after 20+ years break and a head injury accident cycling, was nervousness or anxiety over shifting and so I shifted to soft - I forgot the gearbox was one step at a time. Thanks for your videos.

Just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. Just what I was looking for, good clear instructions taught by a professional in the field. Great useful tips and demonstrations. One of your previous videos gave a tip on watching the tires of cars that were stopped to gauge the potential movement which is exactly what I taught my kids when I was teaching them to drive. Keep up the great work and thank you for taking the time to make them.
I really appreciate you subscribing to my channel and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment
