@cliffy_jr: Taking off from a complete stop can feel intimidating for new riders, but smooth launches come down to balancing throttle and clutch. With the bike in 1st gear, slowly ease the clutch out to the friction zone until you feel the engine engage. Add a tiny bit of steady throttle as you ease the clutch out the rest of the way, keeping your eyes up on the road ahead—never down at your hands! #motorcycle #GettingStarted #ClutchControl #FrictionZone #BeginnerRider

I get so scared .. like when you’re coming to a stop how low/slow are you comfortable with going with judy braking prior to pulling the clutch and downshifting … I think i’m just overthinking

If you haven't already, could you make a video detailing what exactly the clutch is/does and when exactly to use it? I feel like when I start riding that's gonna be my biggest issue 😅

Thank you so much for making this video. As someone who is new to riding and still learning start/stop at stop signs and lights I was confused on shifting and the proper procedure. This looks a lot smoother and less of a rush than what I was doing. I will be taking this and applying it to my riding to better myself. Ride safe!! 🫶🏻💙

When you come to a stop like you did at 50 seconds, do you release the throttle slowly or dump it before you engage with the brakes

Isnt downshifting “safer” coming to a stop on the chance someone behind you is distracted to give you an escape option and keep moving if needed?
