How to make slow speed u turns
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2023
- Making slow speed u turns is an important motorcycle riding skill. Transitioning from a left u turn to a right u turn quickly takes practice and total control of the clutch and throttle to make the motorcycle dip and stand up quickly to dip back the opposite direction. Most motorcycle riders fear making these types of turns due to the fear of dropping and damaging the motorcycle. By adding protection such as motorcycle drop guards you can protect your motorcycle while learning to protect yourself with advanced motorcycle skills such as slow speed u turns as well as learning how to cause the motorcycle to transition quickly from one turn to another. If you want to learn how to ride like a pro, or better yet like a professional well trained motor officer, then learning slow speed skills such as u turns is a great start.

I been riding for many years and try to practice my slow speed often. In the back of my mind there always that little voice saying…. “You’re cooking your clutch and brake”. Thanks for showing us that it can still be done without the excess wear. 😎👍🏼
Appreciate how you talk through the inputs/
yes- professional.
Thank you sir! I hope you get something from it to help you.
This is so much better than pre-loading the throttle and using rear brake fighting agains each other harming clutch and rear brake.
Amazing. I started working on slow speed u-turns and serpentine last month. It's so much harder than it looks! I just found you. Of course I'm watching others on UA-cam using the friction zone and rear brake. Are your techniques for new or experienced riders? I've been riding for 20 years, but have never practiced these techniques. I can see your techniques are much better and I am for sure revving the engine up and down, trying to maintain the friction zone and rear brake. I'm a mess!!! Thank you for your video.
Well thank you for the kind words, and i hope you subscribe for what we have in store. I train brand new riders with total clutch control first and then add proper throttle engagement with the total clutch control and then we add rear brake. Its just a way i have been teaching for over 10yrs, and yes its different than all the others but it works well for our students and its not a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on the bike. Train hard, Ride safe
I watched one of your videos no throttle no break doing circles and figure eight and it worked great. I’ve always used the rear brake not anymore. Thanks for your input.
Good training thank you🤙🏽
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🫡
Hello, you are welcome, welcome, welcome! Thanks for watching!
Those tight turns have always been my weak spot especially with a passenger but this video has me out practicing. Hope to get to your level. It looks very professional. Thanks for the advice
Can't wait to practice this W 😊 Thanks man!
That’s awesome 😎 thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching, and the kind words sir!
Excellent!
Thank you sir!
nice i like your approch. i will be adding this stuff in my training rutines
Thank you sir! Hope you will subscribe for upcoming videos. Train hard, Ride safe!
Nicely done!
Thank you sir! You do a great job as well!
Train hard, Ride safe!
Yeah but don't you know those left hand cager cutoffs are unavoidable? That's what all the foot dragger, safe riding skills content creators tell their followers
I find it funny how there are so many unskilled riders out there giving advise on safe riding and proper riding skills and talking shit about everyone else out there.
You offer great advise and I enjoy watching guys like yourself for the assurance that I am keeping my skill fresh and refined.
great exercise, sir. Love it.
Thank you sir!
Nice work Jay!
Thank you sir!
is this applicable to all kinds of bikes even on CB650R Honda and with counter steering? Thanks! Nice videos!
GREAT demonstration. Thank you. BUT - rpms?? Minutes? How about RsPM?
Looking forward to watching more of your content. Thanks again
LOL,,,, Thanks! we will try to put one out each week if people will watch
Great video. I am just a learner beginner. To me it looked like you were sitting pretty straight in the seat as not leaning or counter leaning on any of the turns. Am I correct on that?
Sir! So wonderful.. I’m Korean and didn’t understand your explanation perfectly and would you check my understanding? 1st gear- full clutch-lean-no brake and only full clutch? I feel if full clutch only let me drop down to ground. Is it right? Sorry for my poor English.
Great video! I hope you will make them more often. Could you tell me, what is your speed going through this course?
Thank you! and I will....I am around 3-5mph
What does your bike run for RPS's when using clutch only for these exercises?
I have been working on your technique but I’m having trouble with throttle control. Do you hold the friction control by keeping clutch steady or do you constantly engage the clutch to the friction control then disengage and re-engage while keeping the throttle/rpm’s loaded? I find myself wanting to constantly engage the clutch.
Hello Lance, just give me a call bud. Its easier to discuss it to ensure you understand completely. Our number is on our website at motorcycledropguards.com
I like to attend your class but you’re probably too far away. Lately I have started practicing with just clutch and throttle in a 20’ “W” and have that down pretty much. Now I’m going to start practicing 18’ turns. A little scared but I gotta do it. Where do you do the training at?
Houston, Texas
Are you locking the bars in order to make the tear drop turns?
You don't have to really full lock them for these 18 foot turns.
Is 1500 RPM too high? My rocket isn't happy and quite jumpy when I use clutch for anything less. It definitely feels more stable at 1500 RPM but then it's either too fast or I'm wearing through the clutch. I'll get out and practice some more.
Do what is comfortable!
