Attention: When you ride on the left track of a lane, close to the double yellow line, you can subject yourself to two dangers: 1. In this day and age many car drivers like to text and drive, which can cause their car to sway over the double yellow line unexpectedly which can either hit or clip a motorcycle rider straddling the double yellow line. The closer you are to oncoming traffic the less time you have to react if a car unexpectedly crosses the double yellow line. Here is an example of what can happen to you when you ride on the left track of a lane: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yn-EzWuosoBhqI4 2. You open up space in your lane to the right of you which can allow a car to ILLEGALLY PASS YOU ON THE RIGHT SIDE, this is the most dangerous pass to a motorcycle rider because a motorcycle rider will not expect a car to pass from the right side. How do I know this you ask? Because it happened to me and by the grace of God I narrowly missed getting swiped by the suv. Here is the video of me almost getting swiped b/c of an illegal pass by a SUV. Car almost swipes Motorcycle

More bad riding advice. Again giving the wrong road positioning and now saying we should close the throttle around bends. This will dip the front, transferring more weight to the front tyre which can cause a slip on a slippery surface. The correct throttle is a neutral throttle (cruising) keeping the bike balanced. Perhaps cyclecruza needs some advanced training before giving out advice on how to ride
@xrichNJ
9 жыл бұрын
yeah you really should try not to coast through corners, as it takes a lot of weight off the rear tire. also shouldnt be telling beginners to stay in the far right lane on the highway as that is where the most merging happens. cars are coming on and exiting all the time and for a beginner it may just be too much to keep track of and will take their concentration away from riding with proper technique.
@stevepritchard1331

Exactly what a cruising throttle is! Throttle off is weight on the front wheel. Power on is weight and power to rear wheel, making front light. Cruising throttle is balanced between the two. Cruising throttle is the amount of throttle required to cruise along at the same speed. Balanced, neutral are other terms used for this. Perhaps you are confusing "cruising" with "coasting" which is throttle off and clutch in. Definately the wrong thing to do

The thing i do not understand is the behaviour of most sport bike riders... I'm riding kind of a sport-tourer bike and planning to stay on that path in the future, but 80% of people i meet are "racers wanna be" and are speeding acrocss the corners, like lunatics, and most are just desperately trying to get their knees down all the time. Mostly young people (18-25) and I'm 19 but it seems to me really stupid as they all talk how much they enjoy it and they can't imagine riding normally (for me normally would mean not exceeding the speedlimit for more than 10mph and maybe pushing it up a bit on a straight line where you can partialy predict your safety. ) And as soon as someone sees you with bits of unused rubber on the outer most parts of your tire, they call you a pussy. It just sounds to me so childish and idiotic. The same thing is in our national FB community of motorcycle riders called "Motoristi", everyone is just bragging about cornering and knee dragging, racing on the roads. And as soon as one says that this is stupid and without a point you are marked as a cissy, that's why nobody rides normal anymore as they become an outcast right away. Tried to have some nice group rides this summer, no shit man it's nothing like you see on YT and on others motovloggers videos. They are all racing and i can't keep up for shit.. Also being the new rider, have only done 2000miles this year and everyone is just flying into the corners and just can't find a single one to be riding normally, sometimes a bit over speed limit but nothing serious... Feel free to dislike this...

Well... maybe... I skipped most of the stuff about checking the cycle.. Most of that goes without saying... I agree with riding to the right of the centerline.. As lots of nasty stuff in the center of the lane because of oil droppings. What this guy glossed over was the road surface, he was riding over a rutted and broken road... It happens a lot on the right next to the road and that is where most of the big potholes are.. smaller cycles can be destabilized ... I think of riding after near 50 years experience as a highly dangerous and joyful experience for people who know what they are doing...(That takes years of time to get good.) While learning its far more dangerous.... Ride as if your in a moving bubble... You can't hit another vehicle if you are not close to it... Watch entering traffic... Watch your stopping distance. There is some woman or spavined guy out there who is drunk or unconscious and will not see you...I have mounted an American Flag on the back of my cycle... I have no confidence in yellow or orange safety vest... They will still mow you down.. A waving flag is both patriotic and more eye catching. Get a cycle that is just a big smaller and slower than you really need.. I like Cruisers... Big huge cycles kill people because they are harder to control...A few years back a guy ran off a cliff at Mount Rainer and died... He could not control the cycle... Going down a bad road will kill you quicker than running up hill... Uphill you have tires grabbing the road, downhill you are skidding and breaking and use the gearing to slow the cycle... The best fighter pilot ever was a guy name... Hans Joachim Marseille...He controlled his plane by slowing down and accelerating. Slow down before a curve and power through a curve,, the tires will grip the road and you will be in control.... Always ride in your "Bubble" ride with a option to exit left or right to avoid other cars or trucks or cycles.. Watch vehicles entering the road... They may or may not see you. Ride under control and be ready to stop controlled... Watch rain and ice and try not to lean much in bad weather... Get Experience and Ride safe... Real Men Ride Under Control. Try not to get killed.

Good advice about not riding the rear brake! However, we were taught to ride in the left tire track near the yellow line. Also, when I tried riding for the first time last week, I'd also get all excited at 'higher speeds' and switch gears w/o pulling the clutch in. Nothing much seemed to happen tho.

I'd suggest starting the bike on the kickstand. It gives the bike time to warm up while you move around the bike checking brake lights, indicators, headlights, etc. It definitely doesn't hurt the bike. The bike is used to running at much higher revs on much higher angles. What it isn't used to doing is being started and ridden straight away. Unless you're suggesting you start the bike without the kickstand (while you're on it) and wait for five minutes. I don't think that's what you're suggesting.

Pretty good tips all around, but I think telling new riders to "coast" through a turn with gravel ect.. is not such a great tip. At least if they have already entered the corner don't shut off your throttle and try and coast, that could cause you to run wide. If you encounter an obstacle mid turn A) don't stare right at it...target fixation is a killer. Stare at the pot hole hit the pot hole. Always look where you want to go B.) Take evasive maneuvers, adjust your line, but try and keep your speed constant to avoid upsetting the bike's suspension and chassis. If you're not comfortable doing this, then practice in a parking lot before you hit public roads. And probably the best thing to avoid the situation all together is to take an slow pass on the road before picking up the pace in order to check for these obstacles.

I never said you have to stay just right of center always. Of course you're going to move around in the lane when needed. Also, when you are traveling in the lane closest to the center lane that has a turning lane, you will want to ride closest to the yellow line near the center turning lane, farther away from cars to the right of you. Basically, it's all about planning an emergency bail out area and where it is the safest if you should lowside. You DO NOT want to low side next to the center

Rule of thumb is Newer bikes have a O2 sense and needs about 2 mins of warm up. Older bikes need a bit more time about 5+ mins to warm up or they will can cut out. Basically there is nothing wrong with letting your bike warm up the first startup of the day, based on temp and weather. When your getting your gear on, ie: helmet or even your jacket. It gives me a minute to look for any leaks or drips I would have missed. This last year I put over 22K miles on my bile without a problem. I've been ridding over 40+ years. Ride at your pace and dont let your friends push you to get hurt. Be safe and live for anther ride.

That is bad information telling people to stay on the right side of the lane. Its proven that its safer on the left. Other vehicles will see you much easier on the left hand side, and it leaves you more room to maneuver in your lane should you need to. Just because its what you do does not make it the best way. There is no one place in the lane that is best, conditions are always changing, and lane position must be changed accordingly. Not harping man, just don't want to spread misinformation. I love your channel and you do a great job. Keep it up!

It depends on the situation like you said, really the cleanest part of the road is next to the double yellow line, which I do use when hitting the twisties where there is no traffic at all or not a car within sight. I had a rider thank me a few months ago, my advice of riding 'just right of center' (not far right side), saved his life. The guy said an oncoming car swerved into his lane within a split second narrowly missing him, he said had he been straddling the double yellow he would have been toast b/c he would have had no time to react. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT, when you ride on the left track YOU OPEN UP THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR LANE, inviting a car to ILLEGALLY pass you in the right side which is most dangerous to a motorcycle rider. How do I know you ask? It happened to me but I got lucky and the car narrowly slid by me illegally on the right side. Here is the video: Car almost swipes Motorcycle

Sometimes you need to be in different spots depending on the road condition but if you tend to stay on the left side of the road next to the yellow line you are asking for trouble, not only do you run the risk of getting clipped by a rogue car but if you ever low side you run a higher chance of being ejected into oncoming traffic. At least when you ride on the right center if you low side you have a higher chance of remaining in the same lane if you go down.

7:30 I want to point out: Here in Norway, where we pay alot for good lessons on how to ride properly; we learn to be on the right side of the left wheeltrack, where cars have their left wheel. This make you visible to oncoming traffic when you are behind cars. Meaning they won't try to pass. This might be more relevant here in Norway since we don't even have half the amount of double yellow lines. That is also something I don't get, in america... Why so many double yellow lines?

We were taught to ride on the inside section of the lane (so the right side of the left lane) so when cars pass they don't get tempted to overtake you using your lane as well as being more visible. Although when someone comes from the opposite direction or moves to overtake you then you move to the outside of the lane so if they cut you off, you're further away from them.

VTR1000SPW Plus, you don't need to warm up a sport bike because of how it's carburuated, you wouldn't want a build up of carbon monoxide. You don't need to ride on the balls of your feet unless you are riding in rough terrain. Put your toes to the side of the rear brake and your toes under the shifter. It is much fast to get to the brake and to shift up to move out of the way of someone. You should always be in the left part of the lane because it has the most rubber, least oil, and is least dangerous for people coming out of a driveway or turning right on an intersection. When someone is passing you in the other direction on a two lane road, adjust to the right then. On the highway, the middle left lane or far left lane is the best because there is less merging happening, and it's least used.

One thing you might consider when dealing with poor grip and turns is to downshift and get up on the revs. By running the engine up and having the bike in a lower gear, the engine limits the amount of wheel spin that is possible. It seemed counter intuitive at first, but I picked it up at a BMW demo I took a while back and it has proven to work for me.

Thanks for the great tips. I grew up riding dirt bikes and now years later I got a Suzuki Intruder 1400. Took it to the gas station as my first ride and it's a totally different animal than dirt bikes. The gas gauge is no issue for me. My Wrangler doesn't have a gas gauge so it's been habit for years to go by the trip meter.

I work at a shop I haven't seen any with issues other then needing a cam chain. Only thing honda is known for is reliability. Not being fast....or handling the best...just simplicity and reliability. I hate when people compare moto GP honda Grand Prix machines to their mass produced line. Truth to the matter is this.....Hondas are outdated ....their chassis isn't the best...power isn't the best....they don't even come with a slipper clutch. I'd own a gsxr before I owned anything honda. And I'm not fond of gsxr's either

It depends the 600 or the liter bike? And what years....... The r6 chassis performance hands down best 600 ever mass produced. The 2006 2007 was a good bike but the 2008-present even better and lighter......the r1..... The 2007 2008 in many peoples opinions whom race was a much better bike then the 2009-2014. That crossplane when they first came out with it in 2009 was garbage. Even all the way up to 2014......the 2015 r1 is basically the crossplane motor shoved into an r6 chassis....... Needs more development but is very promising. Now the new bmw s1000RR for the money in 2015 beats everything else....Even dunlop was gonna ride the Milwaukee yamaha r1 and at the last second he switched over to the bmw s1000RR.... Because even he said the bike has a very promising future. It just needs more development.

The most important thing i have learned to go fast as safe as possible ( if there is such a thing ) is to ride loose. If your wrist are hurting after a ride, your riding wrong. This once again was a bad habbit i had picked up early years of riding. Let the front tire do its thing ( to a point ) and concentrate of where you want to go, not what the bike is doing. If the bike slips up it will be instinct that gets it back not planning.

I've been riding for almost 30 years, and I believe it's best to stay right in the middle of the lane. The oil problem is virtually non-existent, I think - but the benefits from being in the middle of the lane is that there's sufficient room to either side to avoid car drivers from both sides which doesn't pay enough attention, as well as making cornering easier as to planning of those. Also, the pavement is usually better in the middle of the lane, since the cars hasn't damaged it there.

Also if you're already going wide in a turn and you're at max lean, simply staying off the throttle (since you wouldn't be on the throttle until you know you're going to make the exit, that's one of the key principles that CSS teach regarding throttle use) is the safest way to tighten your line. You don't need to make any steering input, with zero throttle and cornering friction the bike will slow, and a slower speed at the same lean angle = tighter line and making the corner.

I know you asked Cycle but I can help you out. You can hold the clutch in all day at a stop light and no harm will come of it. Most people put it in neutral because staying leaned over on a sport bike is a little uncomfortable. As for down shifting man you can downshift, upshift, and then downshift again if you want as long as you use the clutch(don't slip/force it) or red line the bike it'll be fine. Remember a sport bike is just that, a sport bike, it can handle things most others can't.

Being in the left side of the lane makes you the most visible at intersections and to oncoming traffic. Its how its taught at the MSF course. You are correct about the center having oil accumulation.

And when you're on the right side of the lane you leave the door open for people to squeeze themselfs in between. You normally keep the left side because it gives you the best overlooking position behind high vehicels. Combined with the best position to be seen behind big vehicles. You generally place yourself in the same position a car driver is in.

I agree. I never said that a rider should only ride on the center right, of course you need to change positions sometimes depending on road conditions, etc. However , continually riding next to the yellow line the majority of the time is asking for the grim reaper to show up. lol

You also should have mentioned that when going through a sharp turn, you should apply gentle throttle through the turn. This transfers weight off the front wheel to the back wheel allowing you turn a little better.

Check the oil with the bike standing upright. Generally you want to use lower tire pressure than factory recommendations, especially in colder weather. I ride on the inside closer to the yellow line because it gives me more time to move if their is wildlife that comes out from the woods on the backroads. All personal preference. Use what works for yourself.

Hey thanks bro! yeah most of the coasting do is at low speeds, usually 90% of my coasting is in a straight line up to a stop sign, stop light or other stop. I never coast at high speed. I find that stop and go coasting increases my MPG, that's how I'm able to average 43 mpg but yet still have fun on the backroads. I used to average 80 mpg on my former 2011 cbr250r.

I disagree with you on lane positioning. Riding the left side of the lane gives me better visibility down the road. That being said, I also use the WHOLE LANE: if there is a concrete curb on the left edge of my lane (I.e. a center divider), I reposition myself toward the right side of the lane. Likewise, I will move to the right side of the lane when there is oncoming traffic. Contrary to what some people think, I have a right to use the entire lane. Secondly, I always look for an "escape route" in case of an emergency. For example, what path do I take if an oncoming driver veers into my lane while there is a car behind me in the next lane to the right? I try to get in the habit of looking for hazards and planning contingencies. Finally, the pre-ride inspection should include checking the HEADLIGHT--both high and low beams--and the BREAK LIGHTS. Be sure that the break lights activate from BOTH the handlebar lever AND the foot pedal. Thank you for the video...! :-)

Being on the balls of your feet is great advice when not braking or shifting, 1, because like you said you could be riding the rear brake but also, 2, it also brings down the center of gravity of you and your machine, giving you more stability & control of the bike, especially when cornering. When your on the balls of your feet you tend to put more of your body weight onto the pegs rather than your butt, which would have the seat supporting more of your weight, raising your center of gravity.

Advanced riders keep the left foot over the gear lever as this stops the delay between changing gears. If your right foot is covering the brake with slight pressure then you need to adjust the lever to suit. This is what I've picked up watching tons of advanced videos. Great bike looks good.

For those who don't know, tire pressure is dependent on the tire manufacturers specified pressure, not what the bike manufacturer suggests. The specs on the frame are not necessarily for aftermarket tires. Make sure you know what the tire mfg recommends their tires be inflated to and use that pressure.

I respect you for not letting your ego get in the way of providing good information. I agree, staying on the center line can be extremely dangerous if a car veers over into the opposite lane. The problem with staying on the outside of the lane is there is a potential for leaves, dirt, sand, and any other number of hazards near the edge of the road. It may be best to simply move over to the right close to the outside of the lane when a vehicle is coming the other way. Cheers.

remember to check your "swingbar" for your tire pressures. and even though you think you're so right about coasting through sketchy corners, you're wrong. In a reply to someone else telling you this, you said that you coast because one time you used slight throttle *correct way* while going through gravel, and your rear tire slid a bit and obviously scared you... when coasting the weight is disproportionate to the front, that means if one tire is likely to slip it will be the front = lowside

Riding position on the road is situational and a matter of rider preference. There is good and bad in every riding position. I tend to like to ride near the yellow line simply because I can see traffic on both sides of the road for quite a ways in front of me. I also tend to change riding position when I come to intersections so the driver at the intersection can see me better. Also a good way to get noticed at intersections is to flash your brights on and off while approaching the intersection

Have to agree with CC. In the UK where we drive on the left as opposed to the right side of the road, we are told to ride just left of the centre of our lane so makes sense that in the US and other countries that drive on the right hand side that it be flipped and instead ride just right of the centre of the lane.

Joe fillo and rich Burke are right. I have been riding motorcycles for 35+ years, and the #1 mistake I see with newbie AND veteran riders is not using front brake...... front brake is 80% of your stopping power. If you have ever heard anyone say "I had to lay my bike down" it's because they were probably skidding out of control on a locked up rear wheel.

3. And about "shifting down before passing a vehicle on a highway". You said in another video about "too much of the power " for 600cc. Try CBR 1000 RR (my previous bike). at speeds of 75MPH on awesome Arizona highways no downshifting needed. Just twist right handle a little bit. And that 80' long semi that was in front of you already disappearing in right rear view mirror. Other than those few "blemishes" you are doing very good job educating people and saving lives for real. Thank You!

Road position, well you are spot on to say never in the middle which is a big newby error. But left or right track is not so simple. I would say it is very dependent on the situation. Left track has better visibility, is a blocking position against cars that want to share your lane with you from the left etc. But as a one off rule of thumb for a newby probably more right than wrong.

There is a school of thought called 'assertive riding' here in the UK. The idea is you adopt the side of the centre of your lane, nearest to the centre line. In your Stateside case, meaning the left side of the middle, not the right side like you advocate. I am not schooled like that, but it seems ne ok way to go, as long as - which I told my biker brother - you realise it's just a bluff. On a wide highway, with some car driver, itching to get past one of your semi's, as they come towards you on the bike, the assertive riding technique is designed to 'put them off' doing that. HOWEVER, in practice, as I say, the biker knows it's a bluff, the car driver knows it's a bluff, and if they decide to test your resolve, you know you have to slide over in the end, or come off badly for really a point of principle. I don't do assertive riding as such, but I do sometimes sit in this position, fact is, if I was in that position, and it looked like oncoming vehicles wanted to encroach to overtake, I would move far over to permit even encourage it, if there were space. If not, I await their move, and only shift if I must. 40 years a biker, since 13 or so.

1 little tip for new riders when trying to make green light on the left turn, don't!! last thing you wanna do is come in too hot for the turn, and lean on the intersections, there could be bumps on the road that will cause you to crash, that's what i did once, thank God i didn't fall down, my rear wheel caught some air tho, i almost shit my pants. The last thing you wanna do on the bike is to rush, better slow down and wait for the green light then wipe on the gravel or uneven road :)

Actually generally you should be riding on the left side of the lane so you're more visible to traffic. And just keep your bike at a steady speed through the corners so the weight is balanced. That will give you the most traction while your bike is loaded in the turn.

They are not saying to straddle the yellow line, they are saying that the Dominant lane is in the left tire track. Especially when on a divided highway with no oncoming traffic, drivers may try to pass without changing lanes if you are riding on the right. Some places do not have a wide shoulder as shown in your video, so the room to the right in your lane can make a very good "Bail Out Area."
