You always want to pull in the clutch. It stops the bike from moving. Then I look around for a way out and not just at the car in front. It's really muscle memory at this point and my hands just automatically do it lol 🤙

Upgrading from my R3. Always wanted a cruiser, but wanted to get some experience with a smaller bike first. Now on the verge of picking up one of these. Thanks!

Thank you for this video

You helped me learn to ride in your Grom video. You took the time to do a lot of explaining. Thanks! Found you when you were doing Onyx content. Then you sold your Onyx around the same time I was selling mine. I liked your Grom content and your video as to your preference between the Grom and Onyx made me buy a Honda Monkey as my first bike. 1 year later I’m looking to get a Triumph Speed Twin as my next bike. Stay safe and thanks for your content.

Getting my first Harley this week and it's a 48 to so thanks mate this has helped I haven't gone riding for a long time and this was a good little reminder I have a habit of putting it in neutral before coming to a stop at lights is this a bad habit or ok thanks for the video 👍

Putting in neutral is fine. Just be aware of your surrounding and go into gear if u need to get out in a jam 🤙

Looks like your in rancho , great video

Hi been riding a while just wanted to know what is top "rpm" safe for engine go fast 1,2nd and so on on a 48

Are they all forward?. Or 1 forward 4 backward?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey brother man that is a beautiful 48 wow I love those handlebars that looks badass and the exhaust is nice and throaty you did a good job on that! I used to have a '97 custom 1200 XL beautiful all chromed out. My first Harley. 55 now an old man have 05 Fatboy 16-in apes stripped lowered

Can you do a videos on cornering.

What are your thoughts on getting a 48 as a bike? Would you recommend a 48 over an 883 for someone to start out with? I've been riding around on a Grom for a few months but looking to get on a bigger bike now.

I think beginners get intimidated by the engine size number. 1200cc vs 883cc. It's not that far off. And Harleys are not like sport bike engines. I think anyone can handle a 1200 engine. The engine size is so close that it really comes down to the style you want. Overall, I like the 48 look more. The peanut tank looks really nice. I would have kept it if I only did local rides. So yes, 48 for beginners. Even a Street Bob is fine 🤙

Just curious how come you didn’t put it on neutral,iv always been told to put it on neutral when you stop

@kevlarxkoffee

Some say if u have it in neutral and get hit from behind, you'll fly into the middle of traffic. If it's in gear, the bike will stall out. Others say to have it in gear so you're ready to move out of the way or take off if a crazy driver comes up. Do what u feel is more safe for you.

So I’m confused. What is the pedal for? Do you switch gears with the handle or the pedal?

left pedal to shift. first gear press down, and then 2,3,4,5 are upwards. Neutrral is a small click between 1&2.

That damn VA phone hold music gave me ptsd again hahaha. Great video . I’m not sure how good I’ll be with rev matching. How far do you roll the gas to rev match?

@@kevlarxkoffee true true. The first time I downshifted it it gave a kick. I think I over revéd it

On part 20:06 u just blipped it and didn’t let off the throttle ??

So when you are rev matching, you blip it and at the same exact time while you blip it , you are shifting down ?

@kevlarxkoffee

Yeah everything happens really fast. Hold on the clutch, rev the throttle first then immediately shift down and let out the clutch. I want to say shifting down and letting out the clutch near the same time is the key. Just do it slow first and then faster over time. I plan on making an updated video about it 🤙

Why blip the gas when shifting down

How I’ve watched it multiple time but no luck u u always have to roll of the throttle because I’m some parts it looks like u don’t let off and hold the throttle and blip without letting off

Oh wow 🙌

It’s weird. My brain is having hard time processing using your feet to shift through the gears rather than your hands like on a car. And don’t get me started on the clutch looking like a brake on a regular bike and having come off the throttle while holding down the clutch then shifting with your foot. I can see myself messing that up man. It’s a lot to remember. Also on a car you can double shift the gears, 2 to 4 etc. can you do that on a bike? What about stopping in the gear you are in. You can do that on a car. Is it the same for a bike? All this is legit scaring me from passing my bike test.

I was the same way when I first started years ago. You'll form muscle memory and it becomes easy. Just ride around the neighborhood to practice first 🙌

And yes it's similar to a car, you can hold in the clutch and shift as many times as you want. Just be careful and I suggest going one at a time as you're beginning. Watch all of my tutorial videos, I show that you can shift down multiple gears with the clutch in. Be careful and be safe 🙌
