its a two stroke fool.

just because the bike starts moving doesn't mean you just let the clutch out, You have to continue to let it out until it all the way out or it will stall if you just drop the clutch.

Hey Bobby. I think you did a good job with this video. Thanks for taking the time out to share this. The clutch must be fully extended out while giving some throttle going into the role for a good launch. Keep up the good work man and ignore all negative comments!!!

"dont rev ur bike so high" - his bike could already be warm, you guys don't really think he did this video in one take, do you? " ur suck at shifting" - it's a beginner video "u only need clutch to shift down, not up" - use the clutch to shift period, unless you're speed shifting or power shifting which is bad on your bike. it really isn't recommended unless you're racing

marksunder mabed That's the point, smart guy.

I was taught to turn the fuel tap off after using the bike for the day so I still naturally incorporate switching it on when starting the bike too. Happy memories!

Wasn't that a little too much throttle in the start?

This was the first video I ever watched on dirt bikes and now I'm actually going to get one this is amazing👌!

This dude helped me learn last year.. I started on a 1985 CR125 i now ride a KTM 250 MXC.. goood video sir

I've had the bike for 2 years and I've always done that. I even raced with it two weeks ago. Thanks for your concerns. Haven't had any problems with "worn out gears".

dude what mx school did you go to? Can you put up more instructional videos? I want to learn how to not slip the clutch like you did in the entire video

@Luke12582

Slipping hard. Not sure he knows what he is doing. Won't idle because he doesn't know how to tune it.

Just gas it till rev limiter and drop the clutch. That way you can wheelie at the same time. Learn 2 things at once ;)

lol, just today i tried to ride a dirt bike for the first time and i did the same thing u told us not to do which is "don't hold the throttle and just release the clutch" they didn't explain well enough and i started to do a whellie and had to jump of the bike. But after watching this i am so much more confident on what to do. And the bike i rode was a yamaha TTR L 125. Thanks for the vid.

Good vid, I rode a dirt bike for the first time today, Yamaha 250 and it was great fun, after 5 minutes I had shifting down.

when ever u slow down or need to come to a stop pull the clutch while braking also. You can start the bike in any gear just be sure to have the clutch pulled in while starting it. Downshifting. To down shift , pull the clutch in and kick down into whatever gear. You can down shift more than 1 gear at once. For example, if u r goin in 4th and need to slow down to take a corner or sumthin, just pull in clutch and kick down into what ever gear fits the speed that u want to take the corner

You wanna use the choke as little as possible, you dont need it all the time. It's just to get it started easier. The gas is just a switch or lever that turns the gas to feed the engine on or off. Always turn it off when youre not riding it.

nice job man i appreciate this i just got my first bike its a honda cr125

yes, if you release it to quick then the engine will just shut off. but once you get going you dont have to worry about the clutch unless you wanna change gears.

Slagging it off is pointless when this video is actually really useful. More useful than reading comments that just belittle what this guy has done.

You can tell if a 2 stroke by sound and the exhaust it's always fat at the front like his

@TfAbEr190 on most dirtbikes, when you sit down there's a cap in front you that you unscrew. whatever bike you have, read the manual (or talk to dirtbike people) to find out the best gas you want to put in there (and if you need oil mixed in it or not).

thank you your video has been a great refresher course got my first bke in 10 years to day

Video could of been better, there was a lot of key things you failed to mention. Difference between two and four stroke, letting the bike warm up before you rip on the throttle, more explaining about the clutch lever exactly what it is and how it works, and since your riding one the 2stroke powerband! By the looks of it you look like a novice yourself!

@joshwalters5875

9 жыл бұрын

Depends, if it wont start when the choke is "down" or off. Then yes pull it up and start it. Let it run for 20 seconds then shut the choke off. If your bike won't run unless the choke is "up" or on Even after warm up then most likely your carb is dirty but to answer your question. Yes turn the choke on before start then shut it off and ride.

@HWTWP It doesn't matter, the clutch system is the same, the only thing that's different is a 2 stroke needs mixed gas and has more tork

Another thing - if your bike is a two stroke, make sure that when u are riding it - you don't hold the throttle in one spot, - it will blow it up...-while riding it, make sure that every couple of seconds push the throttle forward so that the bike can breathe

Thanks!! I'm a complete beginner this helped me ALOT..

Hey, just want to thank you for the video.Just bought me an 125 and currently teaching(yeah i said teaching a friend) thanks dude !! JUST AWESOME....

Looking to get a bike for the summer, just needed a refresher on shifting, Thanks man!

Great Video! Thanks For The Tips! Just learned how to ride one over the weekend! I had my cousin teach me. Then when I started to go, I had him video tape me riding around the yard at my summer place Upstate Ny. Can't wait to try it again next time! :-) It was fun going fast on the dirt road & changing the gears!

I had a cr 125 for my first bike. I will never get another 2 stroke. I was working on it more than I was riding it. But when it was running that thing would giddy up. Nice video man just keep practicing and u will get good

Just a btw, since this bike is a two stroke ,you should use choke to start it, but then turn off choke.

To change gears let off the throttle an pulp the clutch and push up or down on your gear changer depending what bike you have

I can tell you one thing that most guys don't do that you said to do. You don't use the clutch every time your switching gears on a race bike or pitbike. The only time you really have to use the clutch is when taking off.

U probably taught alot of people how to ride nice job. :)

It goes 1, N, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. When you're in 1st going into Neutral, you'll wanna push up only a little, like half of what you would do usually. If you're in 1st going into 2nd, you'll wanna push up regularly (all the way).

since i ran out of room i will continue in a separate comment. When ur in 1st u slowly let the clutch out while giving it a little gas.once u feel it moving foward, dont suddenly let out the clutch, it will stall or turn off. You should be about 10ft down road before the clutch should be all the way out. you should shift when u hear the engine reving high but not all the way. To shift just let off the gas COMPLETLY, pull in the clutch, and kick the shifter UP into 2nd and same for all gears

If you slowly release the clutch, extremely slow release, u will feel the engine start to shake/want to move/that is where u can let it roll a bit n now u will know when to give it has at that specific clutch release point

@MyFlug it doesn't matter if you let off or not as long as you pull the clutch in when you shift.

pull It When You Want To Switch Gears or if it is your first time riding just get use to clutch control and when you want to stop pull in the clutch

I just bought a CR250R 2 stroke for my first dirt bike. I come from a strong street bike back ground and wanted to change this up. After riding my bike I see that 2 stroke is the way to go my buddy's 4 stroke could not hang lol

Two strokes do it twice as often

To Dana Davis, if u want to know how to pop the clutch just simply pull in the clutch and get the RPM up and when u do that just let go of the clutch fast and lean forward and hang on!

guys this is for beginners...not a year...not 3 months...beginning...as in like never touched a bike before...also i believe he mentioned this is a school project..so no need to freak out.

@BassDrumBrain no when you shift from first to 2nd even if you shift it all the way up it will just go in 2nd theres no way that it can skip 2nd

1st gear will always be down then after that you push up into second then up again into third etc. neutral is in between 1st and second gear.

@26ghey 125 easy way to tell is that 250 pipes wrap around a little farther like an s and 125s go straight in

I have got a wr250f as my first dirt bike, when I get the hang of it I'm getting a 125 or a 200 two stroke to help improve my riding then maybe move up to a bigger bike but I probably won't bother after that.

thanks dude you taught me to drive with clutch! and I love to drive dirtbike!

@quickarTV you dont need to use the clutch up shifting only down shifting... and down shifting your just gonna have to get the feel for it yourself

Depends on bike, Do that on a cr500 it wud flip regardless.

nice video mate - i already knew how to ride but i thought what the hell lets see how good people teach on youtube - and you did a great job - probably a bit nervous it seemed but otherwise you explained it short sharp and simple .. :)

1:30 - On my dirtbike, you can go into nuetral inbetween any of the gears. Like between first and second or third and fourth etc. Though my dirtbike is a 1973 dt3 250cc, so the things might have changed since then. P.S. I think the Dt3 250 is the most beautiful bike ever made and yamaha is the best maker.

Cool of you to post a vid to be helpful. I learned to ride on a similar video when I got a bike before I learned to ride!

lean over bars, pin the throttle, and dump the clutch. best way to go

Decently explained... clutch is left lever, throttle is right handle, brake is right lever Kickstarter is next the right leg and the gear shift is next to the left foot... right.......

@EasyTricker hold the clutch and then click the gear down into first, slowly release the clutch while revving the bike.

good video, Just bought a 250 yamaha from my buddy. Gonna ride for my first time

I remember watching this when i was about to buy my first dirtbike. Lol pay close attention to all beginners

@DizUk1 no neutral is in between 1st and 2nd click down for first then up for secong neutral is in the middle and u have to half click it to find it

thank you for teaching me how to ride a dirtbike :)

@Airbornebull yes u must or it will stall and you should downshift because if your in 5th gear and try to go from a dead stop you will stall research what a clutch does and you will understand why

no bike warm up? that shit is gunna cold seize

no onee seems to know what theyre talkin about on here. 1.you dont have to clutch shifting up. 2.you dont have to use the clutch shifting down if your goin slow enough. 3.you dont even need to let off the gas when shiftin upp,just like a car find the sweet spot in the rpms and ill go in then. 4.dont start off on a 2 stroke if your a beginner or any kind of race bikee.

That suspension sound's really good (;

@Airbornebull no u need to use your brake and downshift if u slow down that much

@xXAcrobatixX no if your already moving u just pull the clutch in and let go fast if you want to it wont matter u wont stall even if you forget to pull the clutch in while you shift it will sometimes still shift its just better for the bike and will go faster if you use the clutch

@baconator127 dont use the clutch at all when shifting from 1st to 2nd etc, just let off the gas and shift. watch a realy good rider, they only use the clutch from a start and in corners to get acceleration.

@Airbornebull If your planning on taking off again after you stop just pull in the clutch and shift to 1st then brake and stop.But if your not you can just hit the kill switch and cost to a stop.Hope this helps

beginners on 4 stroke: neglects valves and oil, valve falls into cylinder and totals engine. beginners on 2 stroke: i d i d n t k n o w t h e g a s n e e d e d o i l l o l

big respect on the helmet issue dude

I love how you say always wear a helmet as you start the bike without a helmet on. Lol but still useful thnx

Thank you so much when I first got my dirt bike I had no idea how to ride so I tried to ride thinking that it was easy then I dumped the clutch and I freaked out Then that night I found this video and the way u described how to use it it thought of this video and I had practiced and I got the hang of it right away thank you

And this is why you till have worn out gears in the near future. The bike has a clutch for a reason. You can speed shift which is faster and easier on the gears.

nice bike 8) my old friend in cali had a 125 a lot like that and it wassa damn good bike too...nice video for beginners 8)

thanks! this is the best vid of its kind on the net....

@mchimc you should always hold the clutch in jst in case it jumps out of gear

btw you can just pop the clutch you can do it without leting it go slowly u just need to be hard on the gas at the same time

to all you who r confused i will tell you clearly what to do. Hopefully this clears everything up. =) 1st gear is all the way down neutrel is half a click up from 1st. If you r not sure if you r in neutrel, u can push the bike. If its easy to push you r in nuetral. If its difficult to push, u r in 1st or any other gear except neutral. once u r in neutrel, u can start the bike without the clutch pulled in. Once its started, u squeeze the clutch and kick DOWN into 1st. Check other comment of min

If u hold on the clutch and and have it in 1st u can kick start or if u have it in netural and u can go

It's called how to ride for beginners for a reason don't go into the comments for the sole purpose of being condescending and being a smartass. Good video by the way!

Thanx dude! I'm presently on a sportsbike nd was wondering about the gearing 'cause my next bike would be a dirtbike.

@mi2fast4u when u first start going you slowly let out the clutch but when shift from 2to3 or 3to4 u just pull in clutch shift then let it out u don't have to let it out just right, just let it go

Nice vid! This is a great demonstration- especially for people learning a clutch. P.S. I can already ride a dirt bike

@25nevan all 2 strokes need mixed fuel or the engine will seize up and explode. its just whether you need pre mix or not

And an easy way to tell if the bike is in neutral, - try to push the bike back and forward about a foot, if you can't push it- it means the bike is still in gear

I'm 14 and I ride a kx 250 and a kx 450f but I would recommend a 125 two stroke or a 250 four stroke if your just starting or maybe even a little smaller

i think this is an awesome vid! good job dude

Actually the first thing you do is make sure that you have gas , checked your oil , and turn the fuel on.

Quickartv I have a dirt bike a 250crf no when u go to 2nd gear then 3r for example u just flip ur foot up and pull the clutch in and then let it go when ur in that gear

Nice vid dude!, it's perfect for the beginners, take care :)
