I’ve been trying to find enough money to get a 125 because I’ve outgrown my 85 a while ago. I hope I win!
Guys give him some likes please
I’m buying a 125 today, so excited!
Edit: got a kx 85 bw instead, 125 was too big for me
This man deserves it
@Joshua Daugherty that's it? I'm looking for a bike cheapest is 2.7 k
Dmitriy I paid 1600 for my 125
In US you do whiskey throttle, in Russia you do vodka throttle.
*UGANDAN KNUCKLES DO EBOLA THROTTLE*
Iigma throttle?
@Trainfan2019 wtf is ligma
Verdall Cole ligma balls lol

Blue plastics, to me Yamaha means blue.
They might be discontinuing the blue dirtbikelover.com/first-look-2020-yamaha-yz-motocross-models/
@@bunnymanmoe8819 nah they nearly always have a different colour option and call it a special edition
Thanks for the video, learn a lot from you guys all the time! BLACK PLASTICS!

@@tcmx712 Thank goodness!
I found the fake stalls kinda funny. The most helpful tip to me was the relocation of the lever to increase leverage.
Good tutorial for beginner riders that haven't had the experience of working a motorcycle clutch at all.... exactly the technique I've taught others. However, I believe when people are looking for tips on avoiding WT, its more in the context of when riding on the track or trail, and things get out of control because something else went wrong that instigated WT. I know I was looking for tips that may support others opinions that having good body position, covering the clutch, etc. is how WT is avoided.
I gotta say, whiskey throttling is fairly easy to do when you’re going over rough terrain where you need to throttle more and finesse the clutch. If you get a little too much throttle, the natural response is to grab tighter on the handles which leads to more throttle. It takes some practice which is part of the fun of a bike!
I thought this video would be about how to use the throttle/clutch to get the bike in the power zone out of a corner....braaap
yes really though.. whiskey throttle is all about panicking in the turns nothing about starting out this is how to take off without flipping the bike.. i have a bad case of whiskey throttle im working through where i either go too slow in a corner and tip or think im gonna tip and rev the piss out of it or im just holding on so tight i start increasing throttle while trying to slow down
they hijacked the comment section with the blue and black nonsense though so no useful info here...
Great video, that is exactly how I got my wife to learn. I taught her how to actually get the bike going with no throttle so that she was confident with the use of the clutch. I also made learn the other how to stop. That is all she practiced for a day was start and stop travel in a straight line, nothing fancy but, it really boosted her confidence and made her safe.
Yes! Great work on taking it slow. So important to avoid unnecessary crashes
In next video please show us how to endo properly. Please.
I was never taught about the point of engagement so I’d always take off way too fast or stall. Very helpful
wtf
I have started riding and your videos get me pumped. every time I go for a ride. and I feel like I do better so thank you
"You dont wanna be one of those BAAAAAAAAAAA whiskeys do ya" 😂😂
it helps alot to just understand how a manual transmission works in general. I drove stick shift cars for years and now watching this video gives me the confidence i could jump right on a dirtbike and know what to do!
Wow, what a great video. I have been scared to ride again because of my confusion on how to work a clutch. I rode as a kid on an automatic dirtbike and loved it. And not knowing how to use the clutch has held me back from getting back into it as an adult. Thank you for making such a clear video. I'm so pumped right now to finally go for it!
About to learn to ride this week, really appreciate the video, very easy to follow.
"no more than 2 fingers" mate, my lever ain't that soft.
Neither is mine
Omg same man
Same here
then you need to replace ur toes with stronger ones
I have a similar issue with my girlfriend...
Perfect stuff! Pro drifter new to dirt bikes. I teach many how to drift and throttle/clutch transfer is key. Great to see much of the mechanics translate over. I definitely stalled my CR135 14 times and flooded the engine haha. Love the channel!!
Thank you I am learning how to ride today on my friends kx100 I’m learning how to use a clutch and everything for the first time
I just got my dirt bike and this helped alot thanks !!
Very good video just got my first dirt bike and have been strugeling a bit with my clutch
I've wanted to ride motorcycles and dirtbikes all my life but was always too afraid of what would happen if I stalled out or didn't get throttle and clutch control down. Of course I didn't even know all that back then, just knew I really wanted to make that dream happen. I'm so happy and excited to say that after almost 20 years I'm finally going to get to ride a dirtbike and learn off road riding! I would never have been able to get this far if it wasn't for my amazing tougher then Enduro racing husband! He's rode bikes of all kinds pretty well all his life and his methods are awesome! I came to say that your video is very helpful in teaching us newbies how to NOT die before we actually get on the trails/tracks and for those who have husbands too busy working to spend a whole day teaching us not to screw up 😅 thanks!
This is the best video ive seen on throttle and clutch application thankyou!!
Tysm for helping me ride a manual, I got a crf 190 and it’s helpful Tysm
I just learned the cluch from my dad he let me do the cluch on his raptor 700 then I watched the vids I learned more + I got a new tc husqavarna 65 for christmas

Awesome, thanx guys, watching these a few times before I get on my bike after 9 yrs
Thanks for this vid. I’m going to try the point of engagement trick to help me learn!
Thank you! I was always giving it throttle then letting the clutch out and it never felt quite right. Also has anyone here heard of the ke 175?
Thanks! been worrying about riding my bike. I rode a clutch bike before. Kx65 second time i tried the clutch and almost wheelied. Great memories!

This Was Helpful..Thanks MxFactory😎💪
Blue plastic will look best.

Indeed
This helped me more than the 10,000 tips my buddies told me on the trail
@TheMxFactory thank you so much for most of your tips & tricks. I have been on & off with the dirt bike but never had the opportunity to understand the basics so much. Now your channel seem to be helping with all the ideas & soon will be matter of implementing. While I am miles away from the US it is kind of hard to practice daily due to the harsh weather conditions. Anyway I am so thankful coming to your channel, subscribed & following you guys. Meanwhile I like your black shades what brand are those please reply. Keep up the hard work & more tips. Stay safe Mx Factory team :)
Thanks for the Knowledge, I Already Can Ride A Dual Sport Bike With Seamless Shifting with Clutch.. Thanks Alot..🔥🔥❤️😎👍
Cheers mate I just got a Suzuki Ag bike 200 and I'm trying to learn the clutch thanks mate
Just got a Suzuki rmz 250. I was making it wheelie and I thought my trans was going bad. This video has taught me many things 😅
Hey love your videos I’m just starting its would be really nice if you had a playlist for beginners specifically just to make it easier to find the beginner videos!!!
I bought a seized wr250f as a first bike. Long story short, three days later it is running (needs lots of stuff like a cooling system for starters). After I fixed the cam chain and cam chain guide, I tried to ride it with out a throttle. Just the bare cable to tug on lol, and since it was hard to give it gas on start I kept stalling it. Turns out if you let out the clutch at idle VERY slowly, it will not die
Thanks my dude this is gonna help
love your THEMX FACTORY dirt bike videos bro got a dirt bike too man out on it all the time and i am getting good at ride it and my cofidence level isgood

Dad got a YZ125 it’s so badass. And I got a TTR125 still trying to figure out and get used to the clutch
This helps a lot
black on black make the money stack
Between blue and black, I'd definitely prefer blue plastics. But even better I'd like to see white plastics. Reminds me of Bradshaw. Since I'm winning the bike, my opinion should matter. :-)
Thank you. Good info!
good job guys 😍😍😍
excellent video
omg i get it now thank you so much
great very useful video
There’s always that one person who dislikes the video
BLUE, BABY
when I taught my kids to ride they walked the bike.in a circle . not sitting on the bike .. and learned clutch control very fast ...the bike fell but they didn't..great video thanks
danny mac Thats a great tip!
I love you guys freakin ilarious but informative at the same time! Well done love it ☺️
this is really helpfull
Took my first dirt bike out last week. I'm in my late 20s and not too much of a daredevil. After riding for about 30 minutes, I thought I was good to go somewhat fast just in a straight line. After about 20 minutes of going fast, I kept pushing the limit.... until I veered off the path and went on my first jump. Flew straight into a tree, and was very glad to have my neck brace on (even though I felt a bit silly for putting it on when I got started.. lots of guys there in just jeans and helmets).
I walked away with a neck injury from the whiplash, cut up pretty good, bloody nose, etc....... Before I went out, I honestly didn't think it was going to happen to me but the speed-bug bit me and away I went. It's only gonna be about a week and a half recovery, but it could have been so much worse- especially if I wasn't wearing all of my safety gear (and I did invest in every piece of safety gear).
If you're just getting started, don't be an idiot like me!!! If the branches had been more stout, I could've been impaled right in the gut. If I hadn't been wearing my neck brace, chest protector, and helmet, I would've walked away with much more severe injuries. Wear all your gear and respect the bike....
Similar thing happened to me when I was 14 had taken my dirt bike out a few times started doing some small jumps built up the confidence for a bigger jump with a gap between and let off the throttle last minute, ended up clipping the landing on the front wheel and flipping the bike a few times, concussion, bruised ribs and broken fingers, it wasnt fun but a cool story to tell now lol
Thanks man
Thank you for that
The intro got me 😂🤣
I use blue plastics Yamaha 85 and thank you this really helped me a lot when the first time I got clutch my bike turned off every time :(

NICE, THANK YOU SIR.
That demonstration at 0:50 was spot on.
You don’t understand how much the last step helps I stall everyday trying to take off properly 🤣🤣
I always stalled the bike so this helps a lot
