DON’T Do These Things at a Red Light
Watch the first video clip carefully and see if you can find all the things a did wrong when stopping at the red light.
Red lights and intersections are one of the most dangerous places for motorcycle riders. With the number of distracted drivers on the road, getting rear ended or side swiped at an intersection is a real concern. If you are new to motorcycle riding or have never taken a safety course, do you know what you should and shouldn't be doing at a red light?
In this video, I will go over some common mistakes that motorcycles can make at a red light. This includes proper gear selection, foot placement, use of brakes, use of mirrors, and a few other tips. Watch until the end and I will break down the things I did wrong. Let me know how many you were able to spot!
As mentioned, here is a link to the clutch control video I referenced: czcams.com/video/odMxACYY5I4/video.html

I think everyone can agree that a motorcycle helmet is the most important piece of safety equipment. The second most important piece of equipment is up for debate. Airbag vests are excellent at protecting the torso and spine, but they haven't been universally adopted by street riders. Proper motorcycle boots and riding pants can help prevent injuries to the lower extremities. But, I would argue...
$1 vs $100 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
zhlédnutí 760Před 28 dny
What's more effective - a $1 tire pressure gauge or a $100 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)? In this video, I will be setting up and reviewing the FOBO Bike 2 TPMS. In the old days, the only way to check your tire pressure was to use a cheap tire pressure pen gauge. Technology has since come a long way with TPMS system becoming more and more common on vehicles. Most modern cars will have ...

    My desert X actually doesn’t have a full gauge but has a number of KM remaining which I find somewhat reliable since it goes up and down constantly depending upon how you are riding the bike. I can ride very soft and it would show me 50km left and the gun it on highway and now switches to 15km left.

    You shifted down in a improper manner in our community by doing *clutch in downshift 2 times clutch out* and you don't need to be in neutral at a stop stay in 1st and clutch off when you wanna go next hands on the bars not ur phone and dont stall ur bike or destroy your boots by putting your feet down before stopping

    Standing at traffic lights in neutral gear is not wrong. If your reaction time is too high to get out of dangerous situations, you should not ride a motorcycle. If they tell you this in training sessions, I would look for better training. Waiting with the clutch pulled brings almost no speed advantage and only wears out the clutch springs and the release bearing more quickly

    "In gear" at a red light - I've heard conflicting opinions on this (ps, I've NEVER ridden a motorbike - YET - I'm here to learn!). The consensus appears to be IN FIRST whilst stopped, ready to move OUT of harms way. I've seen a UK police training video, in which they refer to the "Hendon Shuffle" (left foot / right foot), left foot down whilst right foot operates the brake, but you "shuffle" feet (always keeping one on the ground) to operate the gear selector. They opt for NEUTRAL, rationale being IF you are hit from behind (whilst in gear) you will likely lose grip on the clutch and wrist-flick the accelerator as YOU depart backwards from the bike, potentially leaving a runaway bike (in gear under power) for which you are responsible for the damage it does. In both cases I've been rear ended in a car there was no opportunity for evasion, I imagine a bike would be similar (albeit an injury instead of several thousand dollars in crash repairs). Considering purchasing a Honda XR150L as my first ever bike :)

    • @Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles
      @Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles Před 22 hodinami

      Thanks for the comment. There is more opportunity for evasion on a motorcycle since it is smaller and more more narrow. You can plan an escape route ahead of time and stop closer to one side of the lane.
