    "pace determines everything" truth, even though I ride as fast as a turtle in a cast.

      True. I also realised a bike is easier to manoeuvre if it has a quicker pace, not super fast but not too slow.

    3:57 I was just thinking about this on my ride yesterday and couldn't agree more: "if I'm riding at an easy pace sometimes I don't use the brakes at all before the corner." I've been riding and practicing on a lot of the same roads lately and I'm starting to get a knack for choosing the right pace that allows me to just smoothly coast through corners without much braking involved at all. It makes for a really enjoyable experience.

    Thanks thanks thanks so much for this video. Sufferings anxiety here.
    I have endorsement from many years ago but sold my bike also may may years ago.
    Now my daughter got her own bike and she awake my love for bike again.
    I got a Kawasaki Z500 and took a course to regain confidence and remember basics.
    Went out with my daughter to practice around home neighborhood twice.
    But suddenly, I got anxious to get on the bike again.
    Your experience and advice are greatly appreciated.
    I'll follow your advice to don't give up. I promise to practice every day before hitting the road.
    And also I promise to give a name to my bike. Don't have any name in my head, but I promise I will.
    You got a new follower. Love your spirit and content.
    Kudos 👏

    I’ve been watching your videos for years and have learned so much. Today it just comes naturally (muscle memory). Thanks.
    My only issue, still, is making tight U-turns and figure-eights even though I practice them a lot. It stems from fear of falling down on big 900 lb. baggers like my 2015 Goldwing (non-DCT) or Harley Road Glide.
    I know the size doesn’t matter and it’s all technique. I just can’t get my body to do what my brain tries to tell it. Never giving up though. 😊

      Falling is part of the process when it comes to slow speed riding, I’ve dropped my bike learning too many times to count…need to accept this and go for it. If it drops, that’s ok, learn from it and keep going.

    On the centre stand issue, yes, my first bike didn't have a centre stand but when I bought a V Strom 1050XT with a centre stand, I struggled to put it on the centre stand since I would pull it leaned on one point until I learned this 'skill' of putting both points on the ground ans made it so easy.

    For slow speed countersteering i would also add counter balansing at 2 points
    1. push left to go left [leaning LEFT to destabilize the the bike]
    2. bike starts gooing on left side, now counter balance on RIGHT side.
    Great for short manuvers and turns.
    At first i was trying to do without counterbalansing and it just didint work for me.

    Really good tips. One thing, you mentioned that while in a corner before start adding throttle you need to stand the bike up, how do you make the bike stand at the end of the corner? We know that in order to make the bike lean you need to either push or pull the handle bars depending on what you prefere, but how do you make the bike stand up without adding throttle? Thanks alot.

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  2 місяці тому +1

      By counter steering & adding throttle...however fast you want to stand it up, you push (or pull at the same speed), same with how fast you want to lean, counter steer.

    • @mandonga1200

      @@MotoJitsu So if I understand correctly, if you are entering a left corner, you push "left" or pull the "right" handle bar until you have the desire lean angle, and once you want to stand the bike up, you push "right" or pull the "left"handle bar and start adding throttle? Thanks alot for the awesome content!

    I recently took a champs class and was so disappointed. The sponsor instructors (local sport bike association) supporting instructors ruined the entire class. I lost any skill and confidence I had. I’m so upset! So today I decided I’d do some review and head back to the parking lot. Just after watching this video I already feel more capable. Thank you!

  • @riccardosartori3822
    @riccardosartori3822 2 місяці тому

    I have a different view on body position, meaning: body position's importance depends on the pace of course, but it also depends on the road conditions, I'm used to riding on quite shi**y roads, and having good body position allows you to keep the bike more upright, helping tires and suspension to do their work correctly, I could do the same road while staying perfectly in line with the bike, but then I wouldn't have much margin for corrections in case of unexpected events (debris, oil, gravel, an animal, a car etc.)

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  2 місяці тому +1

      If you're riding on shitting roads...then you're riding slower...riding slower makes the bike lean way less anyway...probably not need to do much of anything else unless you're riding over actual obstacles in the road.
