I just failed my basic. I kept panicking on the bike and the clutch was the part that was making me the most anxious. Your timing is impeccable!
I was riding a 400 scooter when I took my class and switching to a clutch was STRESSFUL. I have since picked up a motorcycle and had to wait all winter to ride again and this is my biggest fear.
@@skilful1 Not to be disrepectful but have you guys never driven a manuell car? If you know this you already know how to operate a clutch on a bike. Same-same but different.
@@nesta8273 I'm 31 and have never driven a manual car. there isn't a big car culture around here with people who enjoy manual sports cars and when i got my license in 2010 most basic everyday cars had been mostly offered in automatic for 10+ years. its a common knowledge gap nowadays.
@DR4GONCYD3 That's why they say stick shift is one of the best anti-theft devices.
@@jacobdewitt5071 yeah I can see that being an added benefit. I think I could drive a manual car(ive researched it) but it’s not gonna be pretty. Knowing how to do something in theory is not the same in practice.
Yammie has been an amazing resource on my motorcycle journey that has abruptly came to an end. I’ve ridden Harley’s and a few others bike but I nade the horrible mistake of falling in love with the Hayabusa ! On Wednesday I went and get a gen 1 busa with 14k miles and pretty much stock . I rode it 15+ miles and absolutely loved it till tragedy happened . Minute before getting home I hit a pothole and full throttle I went. One the bike took off there was nothing I could do but hold on . I went straight into a tree and sustained the worst injuries of my life. I am alive and currently recovering in the hospital after multiple surgeries. To anyone that ride please use caution and learn and respect the machine because in a blinking of an eye your life can change. Those 30 mins of being a busa squid was amazing haha . Peace out everyone
he is the worst of the worst fired his best mate crashed his bike with no licence and didn't care about the guy he hit only his own gear and bike
@@patrickwilliams9611 Man's in the hospital and you choose now to thrash one of his favorite youtubers. You sure are the picture of morality, and would serve as a great judge of character XDXD
I've been down a couple times myself with broken bones and all the fun that goes with that. Harley (2004 Sportster 1200) the first time, which was my first motorcycle (that I owned in my name). I got cut off going straight ahead through a green light a month and seven days after I bought'er (darn those unprotected left turners). Wishing you the best!! And don't let that hospital staff scare you off of bikes! We all know they're right about the danger, but nobody lives forever, and what's a life without beautiful memories! Listen to your body and don't exercise yourself into further injury while trying to recover! Best of luck 🍀🍀🍀🍀
thank you for the words of encouragement brother. Im a huge sportster guy myself ( 2007 Nightster , 2014 Sportster super low, 1997 sportster fully customized). They are great bikes to get around town and have a blast . I’ve been back home for a few days now and this recovery stuff is kicking my butt lol . I have a broken foot, fractured hip, broken arm , and a wound on my side from a branch going into me. I did have my helmet and vest on at the time of the accident which saved me from more serious injuries. I do appreciate the comment! Maybe with all the support from the awesome motorcycle community I’ll jump on a bike again after I recover
@@josiasaquino6519 Man, that's quite the list!! Personally I have to think getting holes poked in you has to be the most disconcerting! Wishing you the best again, and remember: Whiskey Throttle happens to the best of us, especially if youre used to something low-slung that moreso tries to slide you off the back as opposed to bucking the front tire off the ground and threatening to tip you right out of your seat. I don't blame you for holding on!! I'd recommend some risers (should you get another sporty bike) so you don't have to lean forward to reach the bars, which of course will only make your arms lock out as you relax and lean back to a position that doesn't break your back. Gotta keep those arms loose!
P.S. You're absolutely right, the community is where it's at! Nothing better than some friends and the open road. In a community full of self-reliant individuals who have seen beautiful places and are excited to be on the road ahead, but have a passion for the heres and nows, and the journey all the same, who could hold on to bad humours?
P.P.S. Here's to the ride ahead!
🌄🛣🌬🍀🏍🚗🛻🚙🛵🚚🛸
Suzuki's autothrottle is a godsend to urban traffic riders. Every bike should have it.
I hate that he used this bike for this specific video, doesnt seem like the best of ideas but I still love my papa yam!
I suggest you to try this bike. I thought the same until I tried it. Ended up buying it.
@@kenshinryu1 except the point is using a bike that helps prevent stalls in a video where you're showing people what to do about stalling is exactly the problem. They didn't say anything about it being a bad bike, in fact exactly the opposite is entirely the point, it's too good to be comparable for people trying to learn ^^
I agree, that option can be turned off. Anyways, the “anti stall” is barely noticeable since the bike has power and torque. But yes, maybe he should have used a Rebel 250 from the dark ages.
taking my MSF course in 4 weeks
Good luck! It's easy, just make sure to go at your own pace and listen to the instructor:)
Got my bike last week and take the MSF next weekend. I will say it is nice to be able to practice a little bit before.
Same here! Taking mine may 5th
Me too, taking mines 6/8-6/9
I'm taking mine in June
Yammie I've been watching your videos for a few weeks now when i decided to sign myself up for a MSF course. I'm in Louisiana and i did my MSF through Harley Davidson instead of through a State Course. What really impressed me is that they offer a Jumpstart program at HD. Just a bike on a dyno to learn how to work the clutch and gear shift and get familiar with the controls. Just took the MSF course ober the weekend and after receiving my certificate i went to the dmv and got my endorsement on the license. Thanks for all the knowledge and tips before I took it. You really helped a brother out.
When you tried to stall the bike but it just drove away without any gas, now thats gotta be turned into a 'shorts'-video if anything.
Thankfuly I passed the MSF last year on my first try without any prior knowledge on manual transmissions or clutch control. But I was deathly scared of upshifting the entire class.
Thank you so much for this. I seen a ton of guys with the low rpm assist got my first bike yesterday and thought I was doing something wrong because I wasn’t giving it gas. 😅 needless to say watched this and doing figure eights now on a awesome spring day! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you yammie I'm over here with a new ninja 400 and ive stalled it twice now lol
It's funny you just posted a video about this. I'm a noob and took my bike out on the road for the 1st time yesterday and stalled like 5 times. 😅 I took the MSF and passed but riding on the road is a lot different than riding in a parking lot.
Yam i like watching people learn the clutch ✨👍
That low rpm assist really rocks, I got a V-Strom 650 that has it as well.
Been riding for 12 years now, it's still useful and makes for way more comfortable stop and go situations in city traffic 😊
This video is amazing. Thank you for the detailed instructions! I’m going to practice more on my brand new Yamaha tenere! I’ve been stalling it and this really brought my confidence back!
I loved the way Yammie said, “I stalled the bike” imma say it just like that if/when I stall 😂
Went and looked at one of these 2 days before yall said it was the next giveaway! Got my entries in already I really like the gsx8r
2 fingers may be enough to get the job done but if you want more feel and better control as well as more stamina, use all 4 fingers.
edit: if you have a smaller cc engine you are going to want more revs when you start out just because if you are not used to a clutch and let it out a bit fast the extra revs will help not stall the bike. When I was in my MSF on a Grom they wanted us hitting like 4-5k rpm and it's a 125cc.
This was a good video I have not road a clutch bike in over 20 yrs lol I threw my back out in 2001 and had to sell my bikes got back into riding in 2006 was not sure I could shift cause of nerve damage in my leg so I bought a 650 Suzuki scooter first then went to a 2007 and 2008 fjr1300 paddle shifter and road several honda DCT bikes I now have purchased my first clutch bike since 2000 a 2024 Kawaski Ninja 1000sx now I feel like I kinda have to learn riding again this should be fun lol thx for the video..
Thanks again yammie
When I was taught how to ride and how to drive a manual (the same person taught me), the emphasis was pushed from the clutch to the throttle. If you have better throttle control the clutch control is less of an issue. If you give the correct amount of throttle and don’t try to take off with weak revs, you pretty much cannot stall. People who have a really hard time with stalling even after having tried for a considerable amount of time are usually just having a hard time with the throttle and are simply driving too slow. We often teach to let the clutch out to the bite, then accelerate and clutch out all the way. In reality, doing both simulataneously is significantly smoother and it’s also how we “actually” do it once we learn how to ride at an intermediate level. Practicing clutch work at a dead stop with no revs “practicing the bite point” is the main lesson that causes people to stall. Because it teaches new riders to leave a standstill with no throttle.
New riders will stop stalling if we stop teaching them that leaving a standstill without any revs is an acceptable manuever
My brothers Harley does the same thing as this Suzuki. It'll just go as I slowly release the clutch. I don't even know how to ride and managed not to stall it going slowly around the neighborhood.
Might get some hate for this but I basically washed my hands of this issue and bought a used 2016 Honda 700 CTX with the DCT transmission. No clutch, just twist and go. 😅 No regrets.
As long as you're having fun, you're happy and being safe. Who cares
I learned how to ride on a bike that didn’t have the low rpm assist, but my best friend wouldn’t let me touch a street without being able to get going using only the clutch. It took hours practicing but most bikes will go without any throttle as long as you can control the clutch correctly. It’s not something that a beginner rider would be able to do though. It took me hours of practice to be able to confidently say I have clutch control mastered. I love this video for beginners though because of the way you explain the friction point
Hours to manage get going with clutch? Damn bro
You can also stall the bike if u lock up the back brake without holding the clutch in when coming to a fast stop always hold in the clutch
Thank you I was wondering how I killed it coming to my stop lol
Yammie you should review the new Ninja 500!!!
Best beginner sport bike?
I've stalled my manual car enough times already to know it's not a big deal and ppl can wait. what they gonna do? crash into me?
oh wait no
I passed my MSF Course and got my 2024 MT07. At first I didn’t stall at any light or stop sign, but I don’t know what happened today. It was so embarrassing and demotivating. I stalled 4 or 5 times at the same light and had to way for cars behind me to pass, and then on my ride home it was better but I was still in my head and stalled 4 times at a four way stop sign.
I love my bike, and I absolutely love riding it, but I don’t understand what happened to me today.
Using only 1 or 2 fingers is great for dirt bike, racing, and normal riding. Using your whole hand is only great for normal riding, or if you have tiny hands.
I have tiny hands and weak grip, I can barely pull in the clutch with 2 fingers
@@Zeroleon Whole hand is your only way to have control over the clutch, unless you switch to a foot clutch.
@Zeroleon That's something that can be trained over time. It's the same as any other muscles, if you use them until they get tired or a bit beyond comfort, the muscle builds and it gets easier and can last longer. But, if 4 fingers works for you there's not necessarily any reason to change
@@TheKingLux Except maybe for a more enjoyable experience.
Some bikes have adjustable levers. More than two fingers and you’ll lose finesse, especially when braking. You have better inputs when focusing on one finger.
Thanks yammie :) im not riding yet im taking care of a baby haha but i will when she gets older
A little criticism: all perfect, a really good lesson but the little thing missing here is how to work the clutch&throttle when riding uphill.
At least for me, learn how to start uphill was a bit of a challenge, I hope you make another video teaching this techniques so that new riders feel less intimidated.
Keep up the good work!
i presume it's kinda like a car, hold front brake + clutch, 1st gear, and slowly release brake then clutch but with more revs, but hey Tbh i'm on a scooter right now after my 125cc formation, so i didn't tried uphill manual x)
You can move forward without gas only by releasing the clutch slowly and gradually with almost any motorcycle, on flat ground and without weighing like 130 kilos.
Also only two fingers on the brake lever is obvious but for the clutch it's better to have your 4 fingers on it
I’m very new to bikes, like I feel with it while sitting on it new.
I’m 5,2 so I can’t really touch the ground fully, how would you keep the bike up while it’s on? It’s also very heavy and I have trouble pushing it around. Think I need to workout more and hope a grow a bit.
New rider. Bought a ktm rc390 late last year with the quick shifter. I know the engine fell well tell you when you need to be in a different gear but is there a set range for each gear speed wise? I've been riding fine but just want to make sure
No, I mean u can ask people who rode ur specific bike for a while, but
In general, no, you just gotta feel the engine
Once ur over 3000 u probably should be shifting the gear
Doing my msf equivalent in canada. Was so scared about it i just bought a bike from the dealership. They didn’t even care that I didnt have a license because I bought it cash.
One big reason I got the sv650 was because of the low rpm assist
I get really strong old school katana vibes from the 8r
Right , I had a katana and they're great bikes...dirt cheap too. So kinda get salty when people sht on them and call them can-o-tuna but not THAT salty because it's kinda funny
Quick question, would you rather have this bike or a Kawasaki ZX 4RR as your first bike? I’m a beginner and new to riding.I need to make a decision!!
This is a more beginner friendly bike that has usable power across the rev range. 4RR is a very peaky engine and is weak down low and comes on quick up high, and the bike naturally wants to be riden up high in the RPM range. 4 cylinders are awesome but twins are much friendlier and more usable on the street
when you come to a stop do you need to pull in the brake or clutch lever at the same time or one before the other?
Order doesn't matter and usually you are on the brakes while you pull in the clutch coming to a stop. I start to pull in the clutch once I'm below 12-15 mph coming to a stop.
Learning more every day with @yammienoob
I have been riding dirt bikes for a while now and looking at a motorcycle what one should I get
🔥
Theoretically, if i let go of the clutch fast, but add gas equally fast will i stall?
If you are in top gear coming to a stop do you have to downshift through every gear to 1 or just downshift from top gear to 1 after stopping?
you can come to a full stop in the high gears (if the situation needs it) but its bether to downshift before then
Hw can u move with 2-3 gear in a traffic stop ?
I really want to win this as my first bike, dont care about how fat it is, how loud it is, but its yellow and looks amazing
i kept stalling the bike in msf no matter how smooth I let out the clutch, turns out i just didn't give it enough gas, but the instructor just keep telling me to go smooth on the clutch
can someone explain Suzuki Low RPM Assistance to me? Sine every bike can rolling when you release almost all the clutch without using throttle.
I don't want to sound critical but am a little surprised that this seems to be such a big issue for people. Give it a little throttle and slip the clutch - what's the big deal? I think the bigger problem for some people is not being able to balance the bike at very slow speeds. If you get really good at that the clutch problem disappears.
what happens if you shift up high gears at a lower speed (if im going 15 mph and shift to 4th gear, how would the bike react?) very new here lol
The same thing if you just start on a mountain bike at the tallest gear. Just like you would struggle, the engine of the bike/car would struggle. This is usually called lugging the engine.
U should try branching out into other motorcycle topics or types of motorcycles.
I got a Gsx 8r Friday and stalled it in front of a yard full of people watching me like 20x in a row at a stop sign. It was so embarrassing and the low rpm assist didn't care lol.
Ooof 😢
Now, how to properly brake? During Twisties and which brake to use front or back?
Always use your foot-break first, after that depends on the situation(i almost never use my hand-break cause i look ahead while riding), but never pull hard on your hand-break, its quite sensitive. Hope this helps a littlebit :)
@@trytorang Thank you, be safe out there.
Nah but what he's saying is just plain wrong. Front brake is where most of your stopping power comes from, because that's where most of the bike's weight shifts to. Rear brakes are used additionally and are also very important during slow speed manoeuvering@@BU683AR
Every vehicle with good Idle RPM will move along without Stalling if you leave the clutch very slowly.
What about all the "luggers"we have nowadays? Mechanics are seeing more and more bikes coming in for repair, because they're being constantly ridden at too low of an rpm for the gear they're in. I'm talking about serious catastrophic damage to major engines components, like clutches, piston skirts and rod bearings on almost brand new machines! Even the transmissions themselves are being severly overloaded by this constant bogging of large displacement engines! Maybe not soo much with bikes 600cc or under. But when the average meathead biker thinks he needs 1500cc's of displacement or better to "be cool". It's easy to see how this problem can arise.
My '22 1200 Speed Twin is a prime example. I've increased the countershaft sprocket 1 tooth from factory. And if I'm not paying attention to the feel and sound of the bike. It's got soo much frick'n torque, with all the mods I've done. It'll easily pull all the way down to around 25-30mph in 3rd gear. Then I'm scrambling to drop it down into second gear before it starts bucking like a bronco! Heavy bikes need to be in the right gear at all speeds! I've got Ducati Spacers installed in the throttle assembly to take up the designed into it slop. This makes the bike way harder to ride at slow speeds, especially on a rough road. One little bump at the wrong time, and its whisky throttle city, bigtime!
My '21 YZ450F is even wickeder with the aftermarket throttle tube I've installed that takes up any cable slop. Once, I was riding it as slow as I could without flopping over on an icey road. When the rear tire started to slide out from under me. I inadvertently gassed her hard and took out a fence post next to the road with my brush guards like it was a toothpick! The power to weight ratio on that Yammie is insane! By far THEE scariest bike I've ever owned. A death trap basically.
busa bussy
bro really brought out the unstallable bike💀
I want this bike so bad lol, but I’m thinking blue
Do modern bikes still stall when you start in a low gear? The only times I’ve ever stalled was a hill start and trying take off in third.
Like actually start the bike? Most modern bikes have lockouts and won't start in gear if the kickstand is down or the clutch isn't pulled in.
@@ThePwNzclan I meant more like taking off, I feel like modern bikes are completely fine rolling no throttle as long as you’re in first or second, I know when I first started riding I had to go from a stop into a busy highway so I tried going in third or fourth.
@KrB12345 generally you need a little throttle in first. I noticed my bike on flat roads after an exhaust/tune can move will idling with no throttle input. I've only ever started from a stop in 1 or 2 though. It probably also depends on your engine and weight as well.
Is the ninja 500 better than the 400 when just starting out?
They are very very close to the same bike. Similar weight, horsepower, specs. The N500 is basically a more emissions compliant N400
If its between these two it doesnt really matter, get whichever you want
Show us on a steep hill
is a ninja zx 6r a good starter bike? I am 5'7
Yes zx6r is good you can easily flat foot it and i’m 5’6 and I can flat foot it just respect the bike and learn from it like all other bike
@@jetarmy3931 Im having second thoughts it seems to pwoerfull i think im gonna go with the 400 and add a ecu flash and ful; echaust
And if you are new to riding,
And you start to try and ride a second bike. The 2nd bikes clutch might behave a lot different. Beware
We this hard up for content.

"DON'T RIDE A MOTORCYCLE BAD BY LEARNING HOW TO RIDE A MOTORCYCLE..."
Th-Thanks yam.... Great video....
You said the bike cannot stall while you're in motion, but can't it stall if you're in too high of a gear for the RPMs?
Disclaimer: am still a noob
I guess it's easier when you're used to drive a manual car ?
You didn't do a hill start
Who’s this video for.. I thought we were all squids here pulling dank nooners
Its not as easy to start it without starter motor trust me when i got my bike and it happened i had to push it bc i couldnt start it with kurbla😂
We need a video about ninja 500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think suzuki is the only manufacturer that has that assist on clutch. Its crazy that someone who knows nothing about riding and a clutch can throw their leg over an 800cc twin with that much power and be able to ride it 😵🤬
The proper way is to use all fingers for clutch and front brakes 😂😂😂 if u gonna teach teach the standard 😂
might be thumbed down for this but IMHO as a beginner, you shouldnt use 2 fingers, but all 4. you have way better control/granularity and strength with all four fingers. and since ABS is a thing on most bikes, you wont lock up the wheels as easily. also practice practice practice.
Do whatever is comfortable to you. Dont explicitly listen to others. Listen to many form own opinions do what works for you. My friction point is barely off my bar, no space for fingers to use only 2.
I think you may have to change your name to Suzi newb. Then you wont ever stall....
I'm 17 I want a faster bike how do I join the giveaway
1000cc’s of freedom at 17! RRRAAAAHHHH!!!!🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yammie you sales man mode is annoying, you can totally free start with just clutch on almost all bikes you yammied this up for the sponsor
Promise if I win the BMW I will take the courses and get a license, rode for 8 years without a license and even got a ticket once for 117mph in a 70 and they wasn't concerned about it. Now I'm not a young squid I'll be a good lil boy and follow the rules
Recently divorced because he couldnt handle me not wanting to be a back pack anymore

I hate this bike now. Make it STOP!😅

First!

I don't understand how anybody would need help with something like this. If you are having problems NOT stalling your bike......the please don't ride it AT ALL!
I would agree about riding out on the street, but we now live in an era where cars are rarely manuals, and many people might not have someone to teach them, since less and less people even know.
People need to start somewhere, hopefully on a quiet street or empty parking lot.
And don’t 2-finger your levers.
