Thanks! That means alot! Watching other beginners on youtube always gave me confidence so im hoping I can just share my experiences to boost the confidence of others

Although I’ve been riding for years, I enjoyed watching this video because you’re showing what everybody goes through in the early stages of riding. Btw, I also totally agree that everyone tries to act casual with a cop around even though we’re really only focused on what the cop is doing. 😆 Keep up the good work.

Lol I am awkward af around coppers

while you're learning to rev match, slowly releasing the clutch rather than dumping it will be the best way to avoid that lurch that everyone is afraid of at first, with more practice you'll start letting it out faster and faster and caring about the now-rare lurching less and less

Thanks for the tip!

The way i do it: Clutch, downshift, throttle, slowly release clutch. I've seen some people doing throttle first then downshift, but i feel the rpm's go down a lot by the time i release the throttle if i do it that way. Nice videos, awesome bike

This probably sounds dumb. I started riding in 2020 and a BMW with a quick shift on the shifter and that bike is my first and only bike. Ive always relied on that quick shifter, never really learned how to shift manually. That being said isn't it clutch in, blip the throttle + downshift, then throttle, then let the clutch out? You skip the blip?

​@@DropoutJerometotally need to flip the throttle. Maybe I didn't explain myself well on my comment but yeah, before releasing the clutch you need to apply some throttle, that's what matches the rpm

I'm here from your post on Reddit Entertaining video, funny commentary. It's cool to see videos where the person isn't afraid to show their mistakes; helps to show that riders don't just start off perfect. I'm new too(about 300 miles ridden so far on an mt07) and this makes me feel a bit better about my own difficulties with riding; just gotta keep practicing. You got a new subscriber 👍

@@tairamosmoto no problem man! Thanks! I really love the bike but honestly I think starting on a smaller bike is definitely the best choice; it'll forgive your mistakes a lot more than a bigger one. If I were to do it over I'd probably start off with an MT 03 first and then upgrade to the 07 when I got really good at riding. I spent hours just practicing in a parking lot at first because the power and weight of the bike got me pretty nervous.(I remember the first day I was like "ease out the clutch, no throttle; see where it stalls" and was surprised the bike could go up to about 20 mph just by easing out the clutch!) And I'm still making mistakes; just yesterday I dropped it going really slow in traffic(5 to 10 mph) ; couldn't keep the bike up once it started tipping over. Was really embarrassed but I just calmly got up, turned off the ignition, picked it up, got right back in the seat and continued my ride. Looking forward to seeing more videos dude!

When I first started riding (on a dirtbike) I had a huge problem with downshifting.... stalled MANY times riding in the desert (Ocotillo Wells) because I was going too slow for the gear I was in. Loved the video and seeing the progression!! Also love seeing more of your personality come out! I know others have commented but I like to slowly release the clutch instead of dropping it, especially as a beginner. Gives me more control over that "lurch" that you get if you don't get it timed perfectly. You're already getting the hang of it!

My bmwg310r is on the way to my house as Im watching this. We are on the same boat brother. Im a beginner myself. Enjoy it, because being a noob will never happen again

I forget this is an issue for people who never learned to drive in a Manual. My first car was a Manual, 70% of my cars have been manual, I prefer Manual. It was just part of learning how to drive, and being into Rallying made it essential! Balls are cool, just ask a Harley rider and they will tell you they love playing with Balls. Crazy? probably just low on blood sugar levels, stop and have a full sugar energy drink... It stops the brain from having to overload on the serotonins it produces to stay alert.

Omg I love this video I just bought a bike, I’m trying to learn rev matching too… it’s a bit frustrating. I just realized (after about 4 weeks of practicing) you have to give it more gas depending on the speed you’re going and WANT to go, and the type of road matters. 😓 Keep going! I’m learning right along with you 💖

Aww thank you! That is a great tip about the rev-matching! And yes! Lets learn together! Beginner riders unite!

Best way: Clutch in, blip the throttle, and while the revs are still high from your throttle blip, downshift and release the clutch. As you get better you can do it faster and play around with it

When you change gears, you always let the throttle down... downshifting you do the opposite, instead of letting the throttle down, give it a lil gas >before One day when you start racing, you wont even have time between shifts to do that :)

What mic and helmet setup are you using? Sounds clean.

🖤🖤🖤

the way i do it in my 675r, clutch, then downshift and throttle at the same time, finally release the clutch instantly to catch the rpms. everything is a quick motion done in a second, if not less.

Just my two cents, rev matching isn’t as important as smooth clutch control, if you are really easing into applying power while giving throttle, your easing the engine into however much throttle your giving, even if it’s more or less RPMs

You don't have to release the clutch fast after downshifting. Easing on the clutch will also be smooth, and will slow you down if you're coming to a stop anyway.

@@tairamosmoto ohhh you can do that? So what, do you hold in the clutch, go down a gear, let go of clutch a lil to engine break, pull back in and go down another gear or hold the clutch indefinitely and go down the gears until you reach first?

Please don’t roll stops, cars do that and you don’t want to meet those. For riding, smooth with your controls, you are dumping the clutch on the down shift, slower is smoother. Aim to always stop in first gear, you can pull the clutch in and go all the way to first gear without releasing the clutch. This would have solved your issue where you were in fourth gear going ip a hill. Also, enter your turns slow, don’t rush them.
