That's one of the most crisp and wonderful demonstration. Just smooth as butter!
While I learned a bit more from the much longer videos with the bike coming at you and the center lane... this is VERY quick and concise.
This is the best video I've seen on countersteering, simple light touching and all done in around 1 minute. Kudos!
Glad to hear it.
Watching your videos, practicing swerves, counter steering and progressive braking saved me from a higher speed wreck on the highway the other day. Thanks!!!
The explanation doesn't get simpler than this. Thank you!
You completely changed my riding . I almost quit , done 600 miles now the last 150 complete 100% better .. THANKS ..hopefully full license soon
Yeah I love these short videos with quick tips! Also, good on you for not quitting. Once you get the hang of it, it's one of the funnest things there is
Why did you almost quit?
@@cwuzii because I was shit scared of the bike . Well it was mainly in the bends and curves. I just wasn’t relaxed and I was like ‘50 pencing the steering .
I was ‘ steering ‘ like you do on a turn after a stop . I wasn’t at one with the bike .
I’m still learning and have my MOD 1 this week.
@@peterkenworthy9219 ahh right I see, you in the uk then I assume with the mod 1 and mod 2 system?
@@cwuzii yeah mod one and 2 !
I can do it
Fosho. I use a combination of push and pull. Both techniques, lightly used, work best for me. By the way, a few years ago, you and your vids helped me get over my fear of riding a bike again after 30 years. Thanks.
Oh wow that's Great 😊
Same here. I especially pull the reverse handlebar when I'm on the highway. Feels more comfortable and have better control.
The reason people think that it is a huge dramatic action on the handlebar is because everyone is paying attention to it. Everyone who rides a bike(motorbike/bicycles ) does this without even knowing.
You are helping me to become a safer and more confident rider . Your vids are great . You have such a natural ability to teach and build confidence.. when your learning it can be scary , it’s like swimming or anything else . It’s only easy when you know . All your bits and bobs of advice are knitting together and help if me so much .. some people don’t need much tuition and are lucky to have the confidence to achieve good results quickly ,, once again thanks from the uk 🇬🇧
That is the best feeling in the world when you get that section of the freeway all to yourself. It’s hard to keep your speed in the non criminal area… short sweet and to the point! Awesome video quality!
I'll never forget the day I figured out counter steering, it's a beautiful thing 👌🏼
You figured out countersteering on your first bicycle being a kid.
People doesn’t understand that this applies to “All” two wheels. Just tried it on my ebike the other day. Sit straight and go straight, while moving forward without tipping your body, push the handlebars and the bike will tip/lean in the direction of the push.
That was the most brilliant one minute video on this topic ever!!
When I bought my first bike two months ago, I watched TONS of UA-cam videos. When I struggled to lean the bike at high speeds, I said to myself "well, let's try this countersteer-thing". My VFR 750 reacted to it so linear, so buttery smooth and well behaved that for the first time I truly understood why people describe the bike this way. I feel with countersteer, I can direct the bike where I want it to go with pinpoint precision.

You're such a great instructor. I've never rode in my life but I learned so much from you before I even got on a bike. I can't wait to have my friend let me try his in a big parking lot coming up soon.
Wish I had a friend who let's me ride him.
Wonderful demonstration. You're probably the best motorcycle instructor on youtube. Thank you very much for your continued assistance on youtube.
Thanks...that's because I was an instructor for 8 years....there's a lot of people on here who are youtubers that happen to have motorcycles lol :)
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
The best example and explanation EVER! It already felt overwhelming and the other pages didn’t help with all the man-splaining lmaooo as a beginner the concept of pulling in the opposite direction seems counterintuitive but the pushing now makes sense. Thanks so much!
Whichever works: push or pull, go ride and practice both ❤️👍🏼
Very well demonstrated. I thought I knew how to ride. Well maybe I didn't know as much as I thought I did. Insane how the motorcycle responded with the lightest amount of pressure. It's not as mystical as I once thought. Thank you!!!
Never heard of counter steering, until now. Blew my mind when I tried it! Thanks.
Glad to help!
You never heard the word, but you have been coutersteering from the days when you first got control over a bicycle in your childhood.
OH dear god,,, this video was super helpful. Thank you. I just took my MSF class and I thought I had the idea, but this helped put the nail in the coffin.
Best demonstration of counter steering I've found. Simple to follow. I appreciate it.
thanks

This ALONE made me subscribe to the channel. Others make counter steering sound so complicated.
You'd be amazed how many people who have ridden for years cannot grasp this concept! I can't even tell you how many hours throughout the years I've spent arguing with so called "experienced" riders over this.😅 This is extremely important to avoid collisions if someone brakes suddenly in front of you, or to avoid sudden obstacles. I suggest practicing countersteering on empty roads and slowy work up the intensity of your movements. Youd be surprising how fast you can maneuver a bike using countersteering, especially if you're aggressive in your movements for emergency situations. Likely saved my life a few times.
Yup
Ive been riding for years and always wondered what people actually meant by counter steering so I’ve looked it up and it’s something I’ve just naturally been doing since I’ve been riding I didn’t realise there was a big deal around it
I watched "all videos" on internet and from this i understand all i need ! Thanks maaan!!! ❤🎉
👍🏼♥️
I tried this on my road bicycle this weekend at about 20mph. It did the exact same thing. Awesome
works for any 2 wheel bike
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
That's the best explanation of counter steering i've seen. NOW, i fully understand.
glad to hear it
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Very happy I ride my bicycle a lot. I figure it's going to help when I eventually get a motorcycle.
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Good book. Keeps your skillset honest. Great training modules to get to know your own limits, and familiar with the motorcycle.
Awesome video, no bs, no meaningless talk or ads. Perfect
that is by far the best shown explanation of counter steer I have ever seen and I've watch so many people explain this. thumbs up and I just got your app. really looking forward to really learning to ride a bike and all that comes with it.
This is the best example on the internet I’ve seen, nothing complicated just a simple demonstration
👍🏼❤️
Good demonstration, you can clearly see how little force is needed to change direction!
It's like traveling on a magic carpet.
I have more challenge with slow speeds and steering. Sometimes i push or pull on the right handle and accidentally whisky throttle. Especially doing tight turns
What helped me when learning is putting my pinky on the bar end to secure the throttle
I took my license in Aug this year and did the same alot.
Just keep practice and soon you wont do it when turning.
It is alot of inputs when doing slow stuff and since you not riden so much your brain has not learn how to separate the twist of the bar and the throttle completly yet!
Ride safe Sister 🙂
I life in a motorcycle country(a family atleast have a single bike or scooter here) and when my father teach me how to ride, he always said "Push left handle to go left, push right handle to go right". And that's basically how I've been riding forever(I've only started riding motorcycle for 7 years and I'm not even on college yet)
Thanks, I finally understand counter steering and tried it but I guess I used too much force and it was scary but now I know that I have so much to learn.
I kind of felt this concept in a regular car too with cruise control on the highway. I give a very slight nudge of the steering wheel to one direction and it will slowly creep towards despite the wheel being straight until I stabilize it with both hands
Vry good counter steering demo thanks you sir!!
love this demonstration minimal yapping yapping straight to the point
thanks
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Thank you for your videos! I used this one to explain to some motorcycle "experts" that you don't steer with your body!
I had to, before they get hurt :)
Bruh everyone makes counter steering sound so complicated lol it’s intimidating. I’m buying my first bike in a few months. Thank you for taking this fear off. It’s much simpler than I thought
those people must not understand it well enough then...just push...it's so simple
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
This the most clear video explaination about counter-steering
Oh the luxury of straght hands free driving. As a 1290s owner i can just forget about that.
The best spot bmw can ever made, never ridden one but this video shows how well balanced this bike is.
never ceases to amaze me that there are riders who have difficulty grasping this. 🤷🏻♂️
That’s why, thank the lord, you don’t teach
@No_Name I would agree that there are many UA-camrs who create lengthy videos under the belief that they're building to a crescendo. In reality, as you've experienced they just muddle the topic to the point of confusion.
If the younger guys would learn this technique a lot of them would stop going wide after they panic from going into a corner too hot and not scrubbing off enough speed. Especially in mountain twisties.
In fact, younger guys know this from childhood.
Holy shit dude, I've been trying to learn about bikes so that I can get started in a year or so. This is one of the few things that has been bothering me because I just simply couldn't understand the mechanics behind it.
This simply made the lightbulb go off. It's simple as that, huh.
You'll get it once you start riding...or just go ride a bicycle...same thing
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
no matter how many videos i watch of this it still seems so foreign , cant wait till this northen Canadian snow to go away so i can go ride and practice
How does it seem foreign? He literally showed you how it works.
Now NOTE...the slower the speed..the slightly more muscle it COULD take to push right to go right ( or pull left to go right) and possibly depending on the bike to a small extent of that " more or less muscle needed"
This is something you'll have to learn through hands on muscle memory experience when you get a chance to start riding.
You're making the bike on the front..TIP/lean in the direction you want it to go when you do these exact motions..you're forcing the front wheel/tire to turn opposite to BEGIN..making the bike lean.
All good vibes meant..just explaining.
Counter steering is something most riders do without even noticing. It is probably as obvious as can be and dead useful.
However it is not the only part of bike turning and leaning. As often some oversimplification is needed to teach newbies. I have no problem with that, as long as you tell before.
Most of motorcycle riders have been riding bicycles for years and they KNOW you can very well ride a bicycle without touching the handlebar. If you tell them counter steering is the only truth many will call you a liar and will be right. Counter Steering is the most useful and powerful option to lean a fast and/ or heavy bike. Other parameters are at work in controlling the bike lateral balance and are far from negligible...
Ok, so no need to keep on pushing the bar the entire turn? Only push until you get to the desired lean angle, then just neutral pressure (don’t add don’t subtract)?
Yeap. He's said that before a few times across the years. :D
You're overthinking it a little. Once you're in the turn you will instinctively adjust accordingly, the point is to understand the kind of input required to steer the bike.
Often i listen to push forward but i fell more easily for me to do a push a vertical force over the knob then push forward
This is the best explanation I’ve seen, wow.
This is huge help, first time I ride a bike it was midnight, the road is clear so I was just having fun at 90, then there waa a curve I tried normal steering it didnt work I almost panic lmao good thing road was clear I ate the whole road turning the curve😅
No such thing as normal steering on a motorcycle
This is the number one thing i'm struggling with. I just finished MSF and passed, but when it comes to stuff like swerving I just can't seem to get the hang of pushing the bar no matter how hard I try and I don't know what i'm doing wrong
go ride for 5 mins one handed and you'll figure it out
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Thanks, totally answered my question. Push, lean, enjoy the corner :)
Great clip, Best movie I have seen until now for this topic
👍🏼
Are you supposed to push down (eg. as if you were compressing the front suspension) or towards the front (eg. as if you were turning the handlebar). What if you push too much? Never rode a bike, but find this very fascinating
Do you know how to ride a bicycle? It's the same thing on a motorcycle. I'm not trying to be a dick, my point is don't worry about it, and don't overthink it, a motorcycle is just a bicycle with a motor on it
I would say slightly down . Just relax . I’m a new rider myself . I was told we counter steer naturally but I was just to rigid and not doing it , .. I was what’s called ‘ 50 pencing ‘ on bends and the like . After 400 miles I almost quit , I watched this channel and took advice ,, it’s all about to be totally relaxed with the bike ..
@@rickyGman11 I have little experience with bicycles, however I can imagine what you are saying
@@peterkenworthy9219 thanks you, I am afraid that if I were to turn the handle sideways the bike would fall
You always push forward, pushing down does nothing. To go left, push left with left hand, to go right push with right hand. If you push too much the bike will steer too much, just like a car when you turn the wheel too much.
I'm a newer rider. I have trouble (less confidence) in longer corners. I havent been out of control, but if I want to attack a longer corner is it best to just push more forward on the bar. So if in in a right hand corner that is really long, push forward more on the right and keep my eyes on the exit.
I slow into the corner, look where I want to go and throttle out after I hit the the apex of the corner.
Sounds like you're doing everything right, just slow down until you get used to it, slow and steady to gain confidence.
That sounds OK.
What I find is that on a long corner you have two forces to balance (counteract).
There is the centrifugal force of the turning itself and which tries to stand the bike up since the tyres in contact with the tarmac keep the part below the centre of gravity from sliding outwards and the part above tries to roll anticlockwise if going right, clockwise if going left.
Against this is gravity itself which tries to roll in the opposite direction; clockwise if going right, anticlockwise if going left. If it were stationary, the bike would just fall the way it was leaned.
My solution is to keep my inside hand (right if turning right, left if turning left) applying gentle corrective pressure to the handlebar against the up-righting force. It's subtle, and I could not really say if I am pushing down or forward, just against the tendency of the bike to roll upright. However, it is definitely dynamic. It's counteraction (antagonism) not stability.
Find a long corner u can see all the way thru on and practice getting ur speed, line, and lean all right from the entry... having the least amount of changes/inputs mid corner is the ultimate goal/best case scenario. But, considering none of us are perfect, and assuming you're saying you end up running wide, then yes, a slight push for more lean and rolling off the throttle a tad, both can tighten ur radius.
People debate that counter steer isn’t real? Have they rode a motorcycle or bicycle?
So wait, you mean the guys at the tracks are making those sharp turns by "pushing" the handle bars in the desired direction? Wow, if so i just learned something new today. Thank.
any turn
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
What people call "object fixation" is when you when lost concentration or didn't see a turn and there's not enough space to actually counter steer, keep the bike upright and make the turn. Rarely a case of objects or fixations.
You’re always counter steering, most just aren’t aware and it shows
@@MotoJitsu if ur exiting a corner, you're not counter steering. And that wasn't my point
Hey thanks now i got it, i can drive faster on sharper turns and not fear sliding off the road.👍🏻
:)
instagram.com/motojitsuclub/
Not a rider but been watching this kind of stuff lately. Do we have a side-by-side comparison of the regular steering, conventional countersteering, and "this" kind of countersteering? Are there more?
There’s only 1…counter steering. No other way to make the bike lean and turn
Great demonstration! Thanks!
Never mind: you answered my question in another video - Silly question: When you are pushing left to go left... are you pushing straight horizontally? When I counter steer and I want to go left, I imagine I am pushing the left grip DOWN diagonally at the angle of the forks. Does that make sense? I don't think I've ever CONSCIOUSLY pushed my left or right grip forward horizontally with the ground. I've always pushed the grip down diagonally.
Some say as you do, diagonally. I, however, have always found pushing forward (as you said, horizontally) with the ground. In my view it’s less effort (not much effort either way in fairness), but I find the bikes reaction to be more instantaneous, no lag, more positive. I guess it’s up to to try, and decide. Just my view. Ride safe.
@@softailfun thanks so much. Can't wait until spring to try for myself.
@@krismerchant4982
Be safe out their fella.
I’m fairly new so this might change. But I can only counter steer if I don’t think about it, if I get caught up in how it works I almost drop it.
Best Visual example EVER.
That was awesomely explained!
Counter steering is instinctual. You've been doing it without thinking since you were a child.
Whenever I come back from a ride, I like to watch a new video
Since you push left to go left and right to go right, is it not just regular steering then? Where does the conclusion of counter-steering derive from?
When a rider pushes left to turn left, the front wheel momentarily faces right. Which is opposite to the desired direction, so is counter. SMH!
i need cruise control
In the video you push lightly on the handlebars and it looks like it will continue to turn in that direction as long as you don't counter-steer in the other way. But for example, when you take a corner you are constantly counter-steering or the bike will stand upright?
Go ride for 30 seconds and you’ll answer your own question through your own experience. Go test it out
@@MotoJitsuI wish I had a bike so that I could test it. However, I actually need an answer for a school presentation: Why, in your video, does the bike not return to its upright position when you slightly push on the handlebar? On my electric scooter, when I go about 31 mph, I have to constantly push the handlebar; otherwise, the scooter will return to an upright position.(when cornering)
Same thing on a bicycle
Nice demo. Thanks.
Man you're a legend, thanks 💪🏻😁
Incredible.. I neeed to practice this
Physics and gravity working hand in hand 👍
My butt was puckering while you showed us that...but thanks for the excellent demonstration.
Hello! I watched other video where you demonstrate countersteering and you said "when you ease the pressure on the handlebar the bike stands up". And now on this video you say when you push the bar you dont need to maintain pressure after you reach you lean angle.
Depends on type of bike, speed, turn etc. The prinipaks of counter steering is there, then you must adapt to the situation as to how to continue the steering through the turn.
Good, explained well directly to 🧠
Best explanation I've seen
I think you have the wrong name, cause jujitsu is equal to involuntary yoga to me.
You’re teaching us the good stuff. 👌🏻
Hey man, could you get someone to film you riding on track? Would be so cool.
Your skin tone and this haricut looks like you were burnt a bit or roasted.
Nice demonstratin!
Nor to start a turn you countersteer. When in a turn, what do you do to go straight again? You countersteer. I.e. you push to turn harder and the bike will start standing up again.
If you push the right grip forward the bike will lean and steer right. When the bend is completed just ease off the right grip, the wheel will start to straighten and the bike will stand up to travel straight. Hope it helps.
Great demo
I just realised i was counter steering the whole time and didn't knew it!
Are you pushing forwards or pushing it towards the ground? Sorry I’m new to this
Forwad tp make the front wheel turn.
Good instructions. For once it's possible to see the control. Often we only see the result while the instructor explains some of the control inputs but not all of them.
👍🏼❤️
I saw a video on counter leaning or counter balancing. The guy implied that it's better than doing a knee down. Should a rider really do that at high speed?
So smooth! what motorcycle model is it??
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you!
This is highway speed. Is the effect more pronounced at lower speeds? 30 mph let's say?
what an amazing motorcycle....
Thank you 🙏
is it pushing downwards to the left or pushing like normal steer to left to go right?
Push forward.
You're an excellent educator, but if you did the same thing with your finger clearly under the handlebar, it would more clearly show pushing forwards vs pushing down, which is the confusion people have with counter steering. In this video, people could still think you are pushing down with your finger, rather than forward.
0:11 to 0:15. He clearly did it in a way that would be BEYOND Obvious that he ISN'T ..pushing down. His finger tip was NOT on top of the handle bar nor his right hand. pay attention
Got it, thanks 👍
I have seen many videos and some say that counter steering is when there is a right turn and you turn in the opposite direction and let the bike free
Just go ride one handed for 30 seconds and you’ll get it
@@MotoJitsu thanks
Go do it, then let me know what you discovered
From what i have seen and experienced counter steering is a great method but you can steer by just leaning your body if you are not turning in high speeds.Really even when riding a bicycle it is just ingrained in our memory to counter steer but at the same time lean our bodies even if we don't know what it is it comes naturally.My question is though is it safe counter steering with a passenger and sorry if i am bothering you i am a new rider as you would expect
you're wrong, watch this ua-cam.com/video/8VqXBA-sGHA/v-deo.html 'just leaning your body' does hardly nothing
