Just so there’s no confusion, at 4:22 when I talk about leaving your feet down, I don’t mean drag your feet on the concrete. I have my feet a couple inches above the ground while I’m riding away. On top of helping keep you steady at the start, leaving your feet down will help if you end up stalling your bike so you’re ready to catch yourself and not drop your bike!
Yeah that definitely does get stressful, we’ve all been there. Best thing you can do is not worry about them, they can wait. The more you worry, the more likely you are to keep stalling because you’re trying to rush!
Thank you! Didn’t know that giving a little gas first before releasing the clutch helps. Now I know! Beginner here. Getting my Z400 deliver next week. 🙂
Thaaaanks bro! I keep stalling my bike quite often. I did try this method of giving little throttle, but when i did it revs quite a lot even though i give a very small amount of throttle, it makes noise and i get scared. Will try doing it again but gently. Thanks again
Just keep practicing! And always remember, if the bike does something that you don’t like, just pull the clutch back in! So if you feel like it’s lurching too hard, just pull in the clutch and it’ll stop moving!
A lot of youtubers start out teaching how to move with the clutch only and NO throttle so I was surprised at my MSF course the instructor started having us give throttle first and then ease out the clutch. Works very well! Liked and subbed!
Yes, adding gass before you even start to let out the clutch made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world. Because at that point, you're kinda just letting out the clutch slowly without worrying about it really. as long as you don['t do it too quick it's gonna grab.
Hey thanks bro. First time rider here. This video helps alot. Im on a 2001 cbr 929. And i had a nervous fear of stalling at lights or stop signs. Thanks again and safe riding everyone. Remember to have confidence in yourself to the rookie riders!!
I havent been riding long and I always thought you had to let the bike catch and let it start moving before you apply throttle. I live in a place where there are hills everywhere so I stalled out hella times. I tried the way you taught today and it worked so much better.
all I'm going to say is this, you taught and got me over me fear of stalling, especially with the back camera, and keeping the feet down as long as possible thank you!!
Just got my first bike today, was practicing in my neighborhood and stalled a bunch of times, still need to keep practicing I can now ride without stalling at all haha, but I still need to practice uphill, I’m not that bad at it, it just depends how steep it is
I just went on my first ride on public roads yesterday. Rode about 3 times just on my street, and I didn't practice this as much as I should have and stalled yesterday! I had a lot of fun but I will definitely go to a parking lot and practice this, also practice taking off uphill because it's a lot harder!
Thanks so much this was the information I needed, yeah I was releasing the clutch before adding throttle which was causing the bike to stall like you mentioned!
Happened to me at a 4 way stop sign. I got frustrated after the second stall because I’m not a beginner, just been a long time. So I started flint stoning & dropped the clutch just to get away from the embarrassment.
Thank you. It’s small tips like this that greatly help new riders like myself. I’m going to practice this technique asap. Ride safe ✌️ (new subscriber btw)
This is SO helpful! Ive been having so much prob with stalling...ive been releasing gear and then throttle. I never tried throttle and then releasing gear!
Brand new 2O23 BMW 310 GS. First time out of the garage which is down from a sloped driveway. So going up hill. Tipped over and broke my new hand guard. Been gun shy ever since. Wished I had seen your video first. Think I will practice your techniques 10 times in a row leaving my garage to make it stick. Good work on a good video. Thanks
Thanks for this video, I see where my mistake is. I hate stopping at a light when I get going or on a hill.. But, I wasn't giving throttle.. I was more dependent on the clutch instead of working with both.
Congrats on the new bike man! Glad I was able to help! Just keep practicing and it’ll become second nature and you won’t even have to think about it anymore
bruh i can’t believe i came across this video… that’s exactly how i was trying to start my bike clutch first then give it throttle so im gonna try this later. throttle first a little then slowly release
This helped me a lot! Little throttle then smooth the clutch, I was doing the complete opposite which kept stalling the bike as the friction with the clutch lowers RPMs
Hah! I got my CBR650R last Saturday from the dealership, miles away from home. I was so anxious as I am really not yet ready to drive a clutched bike, more so driving with it on a highway. All I did was watching UA-cam on how to drive a clutched bike and felt it. Cut thing short, I drove it home. Stalled only ONCE during a heavy traffic. And couldn't be any happier that first time in my life I drove a freaking 650CC sportsbike on a highway impromptu. One of the best, memorable experience I have. Now, I drove it everyday and haven't stalled again, not even once. And yes. I am doing what you demontrated here - a little bit of gas then slowly release clutch. Good stuff.
Congratulations! I wish I could say the same, I've stalled out a million times! It's getting better, but I keep doing it and it's driving me crazy. I took the msf course and only stalled a couple of times so I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble. Now. I have a CBR 250R and I'm so in love with it! It's an awesome beginner bike and I can't wait to not stall my bike anymore
I just started riding my 600 I stall all the time at stops haha once I get going I'm good I always thought let clutch go then when you start to move give it gas but I'm going to try your way thanks
Thanks for the tip. I was wondering wether to first find the Clutch Friction Zone before giving it a little gas. Now I will try to first give it a little gas and then letting the clutch out.
to do it properly, keep your clutch in, open your throttle a little, (you will hear your engine perk up a little.. hold your engine revs there). Slowly let your clutch lever out, (DO NOT let the lever out fast or release it completely). Keep your throttle where it is and you should get a slow steady acceleration. Do this in parking lots until you get a good feel for it. Afterwards you can begin teasing the clutch and gas when you're more comfortable.
Damn I got a grom too the other day and havnt ridden a clutch since my class a few years ago. I was releasing clutch before gas and keep stalling in first from a stop . Gotta try a little gas first
I have a 110cc and I realized that the bike stalls on higher gears. If I come to a stop or a bump I need to shift from 3rd to 2nd or lower otherwise the bike will stall.
I always learned to keep the right food on the peg when stopped. It allows you to cover the brake so your lights come on. I’ve never had balance issues when putting my left foot on the pegs after either. Otherwise helpful video.
Yeah it was kind of hard to explain what I meant when I was talking about that. What I was trying to say was that people were putting their feet up on the pegs when the bike was only rolling at like 1 mph, so it was really hard for them to balance. So by letting the bike build some speed, it’ll be balanced when you go to put your feet up
Just got a 2022 Grom and it’s my 3rd day riding and I always get nervous when cars are behind me and I’ve stalled it like 5 times. It’s embarrassing but I’ve always been told clutch and then gas but I’m going to try a little gas the then clutch.
Literally like you'll never stall anywhere unless your in traffic or at traffic lights, stalled twice the other day and people were just going around me, I just get angry at myself as I keep doing it
Yeah, I stalled out about 7 times in 3 blocks today (2 of which was at the same intersection, missing the green twice). It's a little embarrassing, but if you're just honest and let everybody and their mother know it's your first time, 99.9% of people won't really care.
I know this was 3 years ago, but just curious about starting and then immediately turning onto a road. Like my side street goes out onto a rural highway- so I don’t think I wanna keep my feet down for two long if I’m immediately going into a leaned corner. Right?
Yeah if you’re stable, feel free to put your feet up. My point was more along the lines that the students in the class were putting their feet up when the bike was moving at like half a mile an hour, which was way too early and the bike wasn’t even moving fast enough to stabilize. Basically the minute the bike started to move, their feet were up. As long as you know you can safely stay upright and you aren’t at risk of stalling or dropping the bike, you can bring your feet up to the pegs!
I keep stalling when I need to pull away fast. I increase the revs, but I think I release the clutch too fast. Could you make a video on how to pull away fast and safely?
I could definitely make a video for you! In the meantime, keep in mind that as you let out on the clutch you are putting more load on the engine. So although you raised the rpms, the load that you’re putting on it is pretty high since you’re “launching” the bike by trying to take off quickly. So what I would recommend is adding more throttle while you are releasing the clutch. Basically add a little more throttle for however much more you’re releasing the clutch. So by the time the clutch is fully released, you’ll be giving the bike more throttle than when you started releasing it. Try that out and let me know how it goes! I’ll try getting a video made for you this weekend
Thanks for this video---it was hard to find a video describing this exactly. The problem I have is that the throttle on my bike seems to either be off (idle) or on at 3000rpm---i can seem to find that middle ground to start--there's like only 1-2mm between idle and 3k rpm. sometimes i'll find 2k rpm but then a slight movement would make it go up or down. Is there something I can do to adjust my throttle so there's a large sweet spot for me to start?
300cc's? What the hell are you talking about?? Bikes run miles per hour son!! 😎 Not miles per cc's 😎, you have to explain what CC's mean first to be more effective and not assume everybody knows what you are talking about 😎
Just so there’s no confusion, at 4:22 when I talk about leaving your feet down, I don’t mean drag your feet on the concrete. I have my feet a couple inches above the ground while I’m riding away. On top of helping keep you steady at the start, leaving your feet down will help if you end up stalling your bike so you’re ready to catch yourself and not drop your bike!
It's only at the lights for me. I get worried about the line of cars behind me and rush.
Yeah that definitely does get stressful, we’ve all been there. Best thing you can do is not worry about them, they can wait. The more you worry, the more likely you are to keep stalling because you’re trying to rush!
Same especially on the up hill
Ditto
Me too, I’m all okay until I’m waiting at a red light. The second it turns green I forget everything 😢
Thanks that helps I’m a beginner
Since this was 3 years ago i know you wont see this, But holy sh thank you so much for this video. Real life saver
Glad I can be of assistance 🫡 ride safe!!

You’ll be surprised the difference it makes! My z125 stalls super easy if I don’t give it a good amount of throttle first
I have a 110cc and I realized that the bike stalls on higher gears. If I come to a stop or a bump I need to shift from 3rd to 2nd or lower otherwise the bike will stall.
Just starting out so really Informative now to put it into practice
I always stall when stopping at a red light feels bad
Was wondering why am meandering on the road on low speeds, the feet thing was helpful.
It's frustrating when it stops on you on the green robot
Yamaha r3, I'm new to this n u give some good advice 👌🏽 I'm a new subscriber
Especially need to add gas if you have a heavier bike!
great advise ty!

Very useful - going to try today!
Short ppl can’t put 2 feet down…. So I just put the left feet on the ground and right up on the rear break
thank you...
this will help me ....
lets see
My Grom😂😂 I will be doing a wheelie if I give it some gas.
Stalled my GXSR600 at a stop sign and then dropped it 😆 it’s ok I got sliders but damn … I’m gonna try this method
Thank you🙏
bro, can you make a tutorial on how to take off on uphill streets?
You bet! The weather hasn’t been great around here lately, but as soon as I have a time to make a video, I’ll do it!
@@Lynkinite yooooooo thank you bro
Hey man! Sorry it took a while, but I just made a video for starting on hills! Here it is! ua-cam.com/video/He1m2czuWUs/v-deo.htmlsi=uWHMQCOIeKfLLZ9Y
@@Lynkinite THANKS BRO, IM GLAD
Thank you for your tutorial vlog.
Ill try start with throttle, ty!
Nice TIPS!

Stop and go Excercise
aesir how old were you when you bought your first bike?
I was 20 when I got my first bike!
300cc's? What the hell are you talking about?? Bikes run miles per hour son!! 😎
Not miles per cc's 😎, you have to explain what CC's mean first to be more effective and not assume everybody knows what you are talking about 😎
