    Old video, timeless problem. Took my first motorcycle out today for my first on road ride, stalled once at a flat intersection but recovered quickly. I later found myself waiting to make a left with a pickup truck behind me on a hill. The man had the patience of a saint (didn’t tailgate or honk) whilst I proceeded to stall 3 times. After the third stall, I panicked and accidentally hit the horn instead of the start button. This was also my first time hearing the horn. Furthermore, it was just outside a church/school during some event, so I had quite the audience for my shenanigans. Sufficiently embarrassed, I revved more than I probably should have (900cc) and got it in gear. I took the left a little more violently than intended, but was okay from there. Wish I had just thrown the darn rear brake down. 😂

    @dalevoigt8612 5 років тому +72

    Your front brakes have more stopping power because, when stopping more weight transfers to the front tire. When on a hill at a stop, you have more weight on the rear tire, so the rear break will hold your bike better.

    Didn’t even cross my mind until today trying to take off from being parked on a hill. Wasn’t even a massive hill but my bike would NOT move no matter how much I revved.. I kept either stalling or just not moving. Had to chuck it into neutral and actually WALK it to the other wise of the road so I could take off downhill 😳

    Honestly, this is the real hesitation I have with purchasing a motorcycle. I live at the bottom of several hills, and the only way to get anywhere is by going up them and stopping at a stop sign to a busy intersection, so this really helped me understand the easiest way to do it and made me a lot less anxious to purchase a bike

    Moved to a new place and just learning to ride a bike. I live on the hills and this was the biggest problem I was facing, thank you so much. It immediately made sense as soon as you said it. By holding on to front bakes we are only making it more difficult to get moving in the friction zone, then we panic and over rev.
    This information is a game changer.

  • @brandonstews238
    @brandonstews238 5 років тому +37

    The best way I have found is to hold the front brake while releasing the clutch to the friction zone. Once I see the front forks compress a little bit I know the weight of the bike is now supported by the engine. Slowly release the front brake and roll on baby.

      @@adventuresofsven2314 each bike is a little different, as you practice you will get the feel of what's what. whatever happens, always consider your safety first, as in don't let the ppl behind you rush you.
      depending on the power of your engine at low rpm, it may need more revs.. don't be afraid to rev it before slowly working the clutch. the clutch has many plates/lots of surface area, it's designed to slip it, you're not going to burn it.
      same is true for low speed maneuvers such as u-turns, etc: REV the engine even if it sounds awkward and let the clutch slip, don't fully engage it. it's much more difficult to control the power w/ the throttle alone when going slow (as in clutch fully released and only working the gas).. a high torque v-twin can take off up hill with the rpm just a little above idle but a smaller 300cc ninja or whatever DOES need higher rpm to start moving.
      some call it pre-load, as in the engine spins fast enough to make power and you take how much power you need by working the clutch. but the power is always there, you don't need to rev the engine for more power you just release the clutch a little more.
      hope this helps.
      ps: adjust the clutch and throttle cables/play according to the specs of your bike. there needs to be some play. that also help you control the power...

The worst part has been leaving work - the sensor never registers the bike to open the gate and the manual open button is on the right side on a decline. 😅 I usually park up the hill, run down to press the button, then run back up to get going before the gate tries to close again.

    Best thing I did when first learning was forcing myself to keep left leg down and right leg up and on foot brake at every stop. I have alot of hill stops where I live in Catskills region of NY so this was an essential skill to learn immediately. It was barely a hurdle to get over cuz I was used to it very early amd already understood clutch and manual from my cars but there is always a little healthy fear on hill stops even when well practiced and confident especially on very steep ones.

    Training in the UK we have four stages, CBT, Theory Test, Mod 1 and Mod 2 before you can have a full A licence to ride anything more than 125cc (*There is also a restricted licence for those under 25).
    - CBT - Compulsory Basic Training, is a 1 day course on how to use a bike and do a road ride on a 125cc. You then get a CBT licence and able to take on your A licence.
    - Theory Test - This is a multiple choice question set about the highway code and common riding/driving knowledge, signs etc... It also has a second test which is Hazard perception whereby you watch videos and have to identify when hazards build up and occur. You need a Theory test to go for a Mod 1 and Mod 2
    - Mod 1 (most people will do a DAS course before this which helps you learn whats required to pass a MOD 1 and 2). Mod 1 is a test to show how you can control the bike in different ways. 1. Moving it by hand into a space, 2. Slalom through 5 cones and then 2x figure of 8 without putting your foot down. 3. Slow moving, without foot down and then stop in a coned area 4. U-Turn without putting your foot down within a enclosed space and not going out the area. 5. Control breaking at speed and stop in a cone area. 6. Speed emergency breaking, must hit 32mph when at the speed detector and come to a stop ASAP without skidding. 7. Speed run, must hit 32 mph and swerve around the cones and then stop at the coned area (or where instructed). (item 2 will be seen as two test items).
    - Mod 2, this is a 45 min ride out with a qualified DVLA examiner, you will have to do a 10 min ride whereby its all by signs instructed by the examiner, the rest will be all under his command i.e "turn left, turn right".. You need to complete this without any Majors (so something as simple as keeping an indicator on too long) and you can't get a set amount of minors or consecutive minors.
    Once completed, you will then be A Licenced to ride any sized machine depending on age. Might sound brutal but it keeps you safe and well worth it. I passed all mine first time but the most common to fail is the Mod 1 because people either put their foot down during controlled moves or do not hit the required speed limits.
    Ride safe all :)

    Today , on a very steep winding incline a rental 3 ton truck stopped on a tight left hand bend I was a few metres behind , but had to stop on the steepest part just before the turn , had to put right foot down as was on a camber also , so only the front brake was available , man did I squeeze that front brake , my private parts were right next to the tank , and my right leg was the only thing supporting bike .
    That is the hard part for me , front brake only coming to a stop on a steep hill, I might add I am a shorter 29 inch inseam rider , the bike a Honda Transalp 850mm seat height , long front suspension…so the front dives , however the front tyre held on the steep incline , I managed on second attempt to move forward , after truck had got going again .
    But it was close to a roll back and tip over , I am ordering a lower seat for the Honda , I wear Alpine star tech 7 enduro boots , which I believed helped me stabilise the bike, the bikes today are too heavy for high seat heights and long suspension.
    Taller riders may scoff , but believe me ,despite many years riding experience , it’s an issue on these type of bikes.

    Not a rider yet and only ever drove a 50cc Yamaha DT (probably was 100cc but plugged, I think they all were due to laws in my country) MANY years ago. This helped a lot and it makes perfect sense. Will likely do wonders when I get to the lessons in about a month (about a month of mandatory theory lessons is required here in Greece where i am currently living - 20 hours in total). First time ever driving a car with my aunt, one of the first things she did was too have me parallel park in a 20 degree downhill, on my left side, ina pocket not much bigger than the car. She just went "no biggie", explained it, and I managed it without issue. Also very good at explaining like you did right here. Before that drive, I had never driven before and I spent a minute or two just memorizing the clutch, gear box, and all other controls, then never had any issue. I truly believe it comes from all those years of gaming. Always wanting to be in control before "playing". Got 6 different truck (collective name for forklifts and other lifts?) licences too, and two drone licences. All of which I learned in only a day (full theory, 96-100% scores, and driving tests without a hitch). Have not done the car license yet, but will do it at the same time as the motorcycle one. Driven as a "privatist" in Sweden (only country I know where you can drive legally with someone you know for practice being in the car, anywhere you want to, not needing a school) for about 3 years, just never went and took the test due to the illogical reasong that "if I have to wait in line for a few months, then f it".. but it is time to accept it. So this will be the only time I have to wait until I can test out on the theory and get to driving.. really frustrating, but I think it will also be more rewarding when I finally get there. Now I have time to watch videos of experienced riders and also learn a lot more of the mistakes etc. in-depth.

    There’s a major intersection on the way to my work that’s at a slight incline and I consistently get stuck at it.
    Really need to practice my hill starts more. Probably one a week I stall at it and hold up traffic. Only a matter of time before someone rear ends me.

    I live in a small town in a mountain region
    Basically 60% of the town's streets are hilly including my own neighbourhood
    In Brazil bike riding is very common and basically every 14yo can do it, but I'm almost 18 and never really rode a bike and the fact that the town is hilly really doesn't help
    I'm ashamed ngl

    There's an intersection near my house with a light on a steep hill. I hate it when the cars pull right up on my tail. There's no room to roll backwards at all. I have to have this technique down pat or there will be road rage issues.

    Like you would in a manual transmission car, keep the hand brake on, then release the hand brake when you have movement going forward, except in a motorcycle your hand brake will be your right foot holding the rear brake :D I personally are too lazy, I just hold the front brake with my hand and gas it up the same time :D

    I am a new rider and picked up the Low Rider S today. Made it home ok but holy hell it'll teach you throttle control quickly. Thought I rode really well considering it started pissing down with rain too, the only thing I didn't factor was getting it up four ramps into my apartments 4th floor parking garage. It either stalls, shoots like a rocket or rolls back so I gave up for tonight, there is a tiny sweet spot I am going to have to figure out tomorrow in how to get it up there and a slow and steady speed but I could see myself dropping it here. Like others said really didn't think about this before buying it.

      @@anthonyr587 Great job Anthony. I recently got a V Star 650 and haven't been on the road with it yet. It was a used bike and needed new tires which I put on Monday. I haven't been on a street bike for many years (over 40) and I was worried about taking off on a hill so I started practicing a little bit on an incline on my driveway. I stalled like 3 or 4 times my first attempt before I finally took off. Made a loop around the yard and came back to try it again. Still stalled it 2 times before I was able to get moving. Gave up on it for today but I realize I still need plenty of practice before actually getting on the road and have to stop on a hill.

    Rode my bike for the 2nd time last night on the way home from work, there was a police car driving behind me patiently watched me stall twice at a roundabout, then ended up on a hill at some traffic lights and as soon as they went green stalled twice again with a bunch of cars behind me and got pulled over by the police, luckily they were pretty nice and said they just wanted to make sure I was okay but wanted to escort me home to make sure I got back safely, I was so embarrassed.

    one thing I really struggle with is parking on a hill, both up and downhill. I've very nearly dropped my bike a number of times when trying to do this, especially when there's a camber. What's the best way?

    • @SlutGdanteChosenOneSwinger14
      @SlutGdanteChosenOneSwinger14 Рік тому

      The best way is on a slant, the kick stand toward the bottom this is up hill, down hill would be the back of the Motorcycle facing down hill. And the Kick stand facing the down hill slant again., the kick stand can hold hundreds of pounds. So it can hold the Motorcycle and then hundreds pounds more.

    The easiest would be going downhill and going uphill while on twisties(like it is basically normal riding, because of the twist, it so effortless to going uphill), the hardest would be going downhill on very sharp twisties and going uphill after you bought your manual motorcycle

      I took a video in my car, watched it over and over , then practiced with bike on a hill in my yard that was even steeper. It was on grass so it was slipping out on me too. When I did the garage with the cycle it didn't seem as hard as what I thought it would be. Just have to be solid with the throttle and keep momentum. Always look ahead of the turn, where you are going, and not straight ahead.
