Great explanation! I think it’s important to learn the sound and feel of your own specific engine as well, but that’s less quantifiable. Having prior experience with a standard transmission car is super helpful. Also, because I know from hours of research that the sweet spot for MY bike is between 3200-3400 rpm, I used my tachometer to tell me when I should shift before I got my ears and body trained to just “feel” it.
My analogy - just like driving a car with manual transmission.
Watching his tutorial since 2019, when i was a brand new begginer rider.. just through his CZcams videos learnt a lot about motorcycle riding and helped me.. Eddie keep helping people bro ..
It’s all about the sound of the engine
I really appreciate this. I stalled my bike in 3 gear slowing down and you’ve explained it perfectly. Seriously thank you.
Check your owners manual, it may have a chart showing recommend gear shift to speed correlation...not sure if all manufacturers include this, my Kawasaki manual has it and it did help
Another thing that helped me a lot once I got my first bike was to adjust the shifter. The way it came, it was too low and I had trouble getting my foot under the shifter. All it takes is a wrench and some time and you can adjust it to the height you want.
I had the same problem my foot would get stuck in it 😂 I took mine in and had it adjusted 👍
We never went fast enough to shift past 2nd gear in MSF Basic. 1st gear will eventually feel like the bike is running too hard so shift to 2nd to relieve it.
We were allowed to go into 3rd gear during some parts. But mostly 2nd
I rode an 80s vintage bmw airhead the other day that had no gear indicator. It felt good to go old school and rely on tach, engine sounds and power delivery to decide where I needed to be in the power band.
2 years of riding and i still can't implement this perfectly. Thanks a lot for a warm up video.
Namaste from India 🙏🏻
Very good overview on shifting gears when riding a motorcycle.
Very well explained with speed to gear ratio with left (speed) hand matching the right (gear) hand 👌
Great visual there matey... going to use that on the next course... cheers
Ahhh now i understanddd i was so confused about the whole gear shifting and this makes a lot more sense thank you
loved the way you explained it, perfect. Thank you
One of your skills that I really like in your videos is your use of your drawing ability to illustrate your instruction. This topic might benefit from its use.
Thanks! I'd like to see a video on how to rev match to downshift and brake at the same time. I can do one or the other, not both.
It’s been hard to find true informational videos on the “how to” with everything involving motorcycles. Well that was until I stumbled across your channel. Your videos are truly helpful. I’m a brand new, I mean brand new rider. Since May 24th, 2023…. I have purchased a bike, gone to the BMV and got my riding permit, taken and passed my MSF course, ( first time 😊) and gone back to the BMV to have my M endorsement added to my license. All in that order. Now, I’m like scared shitless knowing I now have to put my big girl pants on and take everything I’ve learned and actually go take my bike out. I want to ride my bike to work, but I would have to drive interstate…. Ummm yea no. Is It is normal to feel reluctant to actually go out and ride? It am I just being a baby? Your videos have been super informational. Lots of education, not just bullshit commentary of an everyday ride on your bike. Thanks for the time and effort you put in to your videos. They are actually helpful.
Just wanna say that I already know how to shift gears on a motorcycle but your 3rd Bn DI shirt caught my eye. Rah
Thanks fast Eddie always sharing knowledge.
Really simple and quick explanation.. i don't have a geared bike. But I do watch your videos.. thanks
Thanks for the mic!
Tqs bro.. simple but very clear explain
Ed what do you think of the ducati st3 I like it
I´m shocked that you have to explain this to american people because they doesn't know gears work, because they drive only automatic cars.. Coming from a country where geared cars are still the norm, I find this amazing.. I was about half way the video, not understanding why was FastEd was explaining this.
I like your garage setup for gear. Do you use some kind of heating in the garage to keep the gear dry?
no
@motojitsu Can you explain to me why my bike seems to not like shifting? Some times, when I pull in the clutch and try to upshift, it acts like it's already in 5th and wont go until I release and re-apply the clutch. Also, a handful of times, I'll stop at an intersection, thinking I'm in first, when the bike is still in 3/4/5 even though I was sure I went down to 1... Is it my bike, or just sloppy shifting?
strange, I don't know
Taking my course in October
Instead of trying to correlate between speed vs gear, may be you should correlate RPM vs gear for less confusing ... just pick where your RPM should be - say, 4k to 5k... so if your RPM goes below 4k RPM you up shift the gear . If your RPM goes above 5k you down shift the gear...Eventually once you are familiar with your bike, you no longer need to look at the RPM - you can tell from the engine grunt...
So can you just hold the clutch in the whole time you are riding?
Man this reminds me how hard I am on my 1-N-2 dogs. If I am not doing it right, things mesh in my head like chunky peanut butter. I want to be smooth as JIF. Oh well, more miles, saved by more revs, and being more happy.
What always helps me remember upshifting is three sequential but smooth motions: 1, 2-3, & 4-5 throttle release, clutch-shift up, & clutch-throttle. Start pulling the clutch and have your left foot immediately follow where by the time the clutch lever hits the back of the handlebar, your left foot is right there shifting up. There is no pause but a 1-2 motion. But make sure the clutch lever is fully pulled back before shifting! It is 1 then 2, not at the same time.
I watch all your videos no matter what level I think I am
Most owners manuals will tell you the shift range in RPM, MPH and KPH.
Any tips on how to shift gears going downhill? Say you are in 5th gear at top of the hill and start to go down hill. The bike wants to go faster but you need to slow down . I always struggle going downhill. Going uphill is not a problem. Thanks.
Little bit of brake and clutch down
Shift down to 4th and let off the throttle to slow down... engine braking down long hills so you don't over heat your brakes.
Use the brakes to attain the road speed you want and downshift to a lower gear.
Thanks! Appreciate the tips.
shift like you would any other time
What if you pull the clutch in and it stalls at a stop? Is it me or the bike?
sounds like a bike issue, ask a mechanic to take a look, shouldn't stall if it is on the clutch
Bike only stalls when ur going slow right
My shift from 1st to 2nd is always embarrassingly bad. Jolty and clunky, Im blaming the bike 😆
All riders should watch motojitsu videos...beginner or not. idk why people are more interested in watching a guy blabbering over crash videos

@@danielbeights6587 I was at MCRD in 97
If i'm in 5th gear and riding at 30mph will it stall out
depends on the bike, my bike can happily go along at 25-30mph in 6th. Sometimes, I do just that, stick it in 6th and forget about it, junctions I will do in 3-4th, depending on mood. I have a GSXS750.
Other days, I will use the gears a lot more. When feeling 'sporty' i don't go higher than 3rd.
But, saying that, i don't think a bike will stall in 5th at 30, even on a 125 if you have at least 1k rpm.
@@nvstewart do you think that applies to a trident 660
@@hiimtummy I have no clue, I would have to ride one, if the engine doesn't sound like its struggling, or the bike is not vibrating to suggest that it is struggling, then it might be ok.
Give it a try, as long as you are doing 1k rpm or more, it shouldn't stall out, even if the engine is struggling.
So after watching the video. My question is this. How do you switch gears?

I'll tell ya what doesn't help, wearing skateboard shoes then buying proper boots. It's all in the toe / side toe. Don't listen to people who say you need to move your shifter up for boots either. Oh and start with boots in the first place, that too
Or you can join the 21st century and get a dual-clutch bike. It will shift by itself, do it faster than humanly possible, and you'll still have bragging rights 'cause two clutches are more than one ;)
Overly complicated explanation that is bike dependent to some degree. Simply shift into the next higher gear at the speed that does not cuase the engine to stumble or buck. I have a Z900 and I can easily shift into second gear by 6mph becuase the inline 4 has tons of usuable torque in the lower range. Not all bikes are geared or have engine dynamics in this way so the reference to speed is a bad idea. Shut up and practice - right? :)
