the sound effects are killing me 😂😂
LOL!!! thanks for watching brother!
I agree. A major turn-on for motorcycles.😜
For real lmao 😂
The perfect hook to draw me in
Lol...he crack me up
As someone who has bad adhd, your random noises actually helped me stay focused and learn every bit I needed. Thank you man!
WOOT! Glad I could help out in any way!
Omg you too? Why is it so easy to understand him? Ugh. My adhd thanks him for this. 😅
i just win a ninja 400 in a local lottery, is my first bike, so this is very helpfull
the first “what the f*** does everything do on the bike” had me deadddddddd 😭
Lol 😆
I absolutely love this guy’s enthusiasm and in depth explaining on every single aspect you’ll need and run into while riding a bike for the first time, and the sound effects to top it off are so funny, thank you for this king we really appreciate this guide. not a lot of people go in depth with everything and the basics like you did they just go straight to riding. love ya 🥺🙌❤️
Lol the man moans! It was my pleasure making it. Thanks for taking time and writing this up and giving it a watch! Helps us out a lot.
@@SunGymLive sure sounds like it was your pleasure based off those moans 😂
Came here to make this same comment
This is seriously one of the best tutorials I've seen. Straight forward and no over-explaining things.
Yessssssssss
I took day one of my MSF course today and ive been watching this video over and over prior to the course. I just want you to know how spot on you are to the course. You really are helping and teaching so many people with your videos. Thank you so much
Bro that's awesome ty
This is the best beginner bike video ive ever watched hands down. The most helpful. My biggest issue is starting and stopping. Putting my feet up and down without panicking or getting the wobble. I was so scared of it i bought a scooter to start on instead of a bike. I have bruises all over my ankles from snatching my feet up and down and savinv the scooter from falling but im getting better. I make myself go out there every day. Im fine while im going but until i get to the point where i dont panick when i start and stop im not leaving my apartment complex lol.
I’ve seen a bunch of these tutorial videos and this is the best one that explains it for beginners. Great work!!
YOOOO that means a lot! thanks for watching helps me out a lot!
Going to go look for my first bike today hopefully this works
@@dodarightthing6528hows it goin ? im supposed to be getting one thursday
this is gonna come in handy when I get my bike one day :D
Get it bro!
Im planning to get one beginning of 2022. No regrets in this life.
@@victorgarcia4145 oh man, its a deal I'm holding you to that!! you right, we got 1 life baby!! lets get it, lets go!!!
@@victorgarcia4145 Same dude! i'm shooting for around mid March to get mine
@@niziojax6208 sweet!!! What are you getting?
@@victorgarcia4145 shooting for the ninja 400 abs 2022 because it has a new matte black color finish that takes to my liking
I've watched this video a dozen times before I went out and bought a 2022 Ninja 400 and still watch this a few more times trying to learn since I'm a brand new rider and haven't made it to a class yet. Still building up the courage to hit 2nd gear 🤣
You got it! 2nd gear is much smoother. Less jumpy.
I am a 14 year old boy from Philippines, i never learned how to ride a motorcycle because last time my brother teached me but i never understand, until i watched this video because I know English more then Filipino, i did it on a empty parking lot, i watched it 6x, i just wanna thank you for teaching me how to ride one, in our Area it is safe to ride a bike without cops. Once again Thank you ❤❤
mabuhay sayo kapatid! Stay safe while riding!💪
Love how you hit us with the “ooooh yeahhh 🥴” But this is great man. Really been eying this bike as my first one, and this guide really helped to make it seem a lot more tangible and easier than I thought
Man Moansssss :) I'm glad I could help brother!!!! If you got any questions on the 400 let me know!
@@SunGymLive how much does a typical 400 go for ? And what’s the top speed for high way commuting
@@CaptianFaust brand new 5 - 7k out the door depending on color / dealership / sales. Top Speed highway is dependent on weight of rider and some other factors but over 100mph.
This is the most detailed tutorial with the funniest man in youtube🤣
@@SunGymLive man moans = sub. 😆
My friends tried teaching me the basics yesterday and they were all over the place, but you were very specific and more helpful and I actually feel a little more knowledgeable!!!! Thank you lol
My pleasure!!!!
Your friends sus! 🧐
My co-worker is teaching me a ninja 400 and it's like they have the same teaching style, 95% . Am just doing my homework here and it vibes perfectly. Great teaching style.
As someone who’s looking to buy their first bike, this video is invaluable. Amazing for the noobs our there by breaking it down so simple for us! Also looking at a Ninja 400 ABS so this is even better for people like me. Thank you!
Hell ya
2000mph or 2 skiddleepoops of horsepower?
Best bike video out there for beginners.
Thanks brother!
Straight to the point! nice guide brother
ty brother I tired. probably f up somewhere.
Just bought my 400 today this was a good refresher on the basics for me
YAAAAAA What color did you get brother?
@@SunGymLive passion red
@@inthespeedlane bruh I saw that one when we got the teal one. Red looks good!
i just got mine a few days ago i love it
Your video really helped me learn by watching over and over and now i own my first bike and even passed MSF course and now have my license. Thanks for doing this video for people like me who wanted to learn.
YESSSS! Fully licensed up!! Congrats!
એઊં
Swear I’ve watched over 300 beginner tutorials and this one is honestly one of the best because you ACTUALLY show what you are doing WHILE explaining. My course is in 2 weeks so I’m excited
You got this brother!
How did your course go bro? Hope you passed
Did you pass?
Just bought my first motorcycle today and it's a 2020 Ninja 400 ABS. I grew up with dirt bikes, but this was a great refresher. Thank you!
My pleasure!
This is far better than learning to ride at the MSF course. I gave them my hard earned money and this was much more interesting. The explanation on every detail answered so many questions I had when I took the course. You’re doing one hell of a job Bro.
Thanks 😉🤙🏼
yooooo ty man :)
I agree!
Omg it’s so true.
You did a really good job, for the really begginers this is enough to learn. Calmly, step by step, with easy explanation. Perfect. Keep up with it man
Thanks brother!
I’ve driven manual dirtbikes and driven manual trucks and cars so I kind of understand it more than others might, but when you were talking about shifting gears it’s not just HOW to shift, you also have to think about WHEN to shift. Food for thought
i learned driving last year but i needed some help to get it again and i gotta say this is such a good video props
Ty Ty
You are definitely an excellent instructor because you have the calm to teach and the process to follow for a beginner. I congratulate you!
Thanks DJ!
Just recently started riding my ZZR600 and this video was extremely helpful...especially the "lurch" section. Thanks for your time and effort. 2 wheels down!
This is a free course right here bruh nice explanation. MAGNIFICENT!
Every other tutorial they don’t break it down and explain reasonably and logically why to not do and why to do things and you’ve done it perfectly. I plan on taking my BRC and this helped me learn a lot and gave me a good amount of confidence. Thanks man.
I appreciate that!
Look what popped out in my feed .. Not sure i need watch and learn but I do like the YT VLOGS so here i am watching
Best video I’ve watched on “how to ride a motorcycle” yet ! Love the content man keep it up 💪🏽
Hell ya brother!
I've been searching around for a video like this. You cleared all my doubts. Thank you.
earned a sub bro this was the best guide and introduction to the clutch/shifting i've seen on YT. Much appreciated.
ahh hell ya!
I want this when I can drive hopefully 1 year left🙏🏽
Excellent Choice!!!!!
just got my first bike yesterday! your video is both helpful and funny it helped a lot!
you hope you did a good job? bro, you did a great job. i used this video before going for my pre learners and passed. i must have watched it 100 times. thank you for taking the time to film and upload it.
Yessssss! Congrats brother!
Somebody who already has experience driving manual cars this was insightful for sure good video
See I'm the opposite. Never driven a manual car but know how to ride a motorcycle.
This is by far the best tutorial I’ve seen yet✅✅ and graciously thankful for the knowledge my guy 🙏🏽
I appreciate that
I really appreciate this video I just got my bike and have been to scared to learn. You made it very easy to understand, less scary and an enjoyable watch too. Ty! 🙏🏽
Im glad its easier than it may seem this will definitely help thanks a lot
as someone who wants a bike but doesnt know anything this was so much help
Same! I know absolutely nothing about
I bought two Ninja 400's. It's not my first motorcycle but it's the first sport bike I've rode. My son's, age 20 and 22 will be riding them and it's their absolute first time on a motorcycle. They're learning in our back yard and taking the MSF training courses.
This is a very good motorcycle. It's on the very edge of what I think is a motorcycle for beginners. This motorcycle has awesome 0 to 60 times wich makes it possible to get into some serious trouble on it. It goes over 100 mph so works for highways and shorter freeway rides. I personally like a bigger bike for freeways, but nobody will be riding more than 30 to 45 minutes at 80mph. Learning to ride a motorcycle correctly takes years of practice and this is a wonderful bike to ride. It's a beginner sport bike. It's quite powerful for a first timer though. Control your writs! This 400 doesn't kid around.
For around town it's kick ass. The acceleration keeps up with the big boys around town. It's only over normal operating speeds, including freeways, where a more powerful bikes overtakes it.
Awesome video dude! Thank you!
Just got my permit the other day and I'm so happy this is the most descriptive video I've seen. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Just bought this exact bike, trying to teach my son (15) how to ride. This video helps alot. I am going to make him watch it over and over till he can at least coast without stalling.
Hey Jon!!! Man... getting him started EARLY! Great choice for a bike man. RIDE SAFE. Thanks for watching brother helps me out a lot.
Thank you so much for doing this! 😍
Everyone will learn a lot from this video! 🤗💪
My pleasure :)
The best beginner video I've seen!
You did a great job :) Thank you for making this!
Thank you 😭😅 I needed this video 📹 you make it feel like if we were right there next to you 👍🏽
My pleasure!
@@SunGymLive oh yes daddy 😁
I just took my first ride EVER on my Ninja 400 because of this video. Thank you so much bro!
Hell ya!!!!! Was it fun?
Best motorcycle tutorial covering the basics that I have ever seen. Great job and thank you.
Glad I could help! My pleasure brother!
Thanks SunGym this helped a lot ❤
I’m so excited to get my 2022 400. It’ll be my first bike. I appreciate the video. That helped me a lot. Definitely weird when all I’ve driven is stick in manual.
Ahh hell ya brother what color are you getting? I dont even know the color schemes of the 2022 yet.
@@SunGymLive I'd love to get the KRT version with Kawi green on black.
I'll make sure to document my adventures into getting into motorcycles and also I won't forget to give props where they're do thanks for the video 👍
Hell ya brother
"I hope I did a good job I don't know" BRO YOU JUST EARNED A SUBSCRIBER! I am starting to save up because I am getting a ninja 400 and this is exactly what I needed. I am looking up videos and how to ride so when I get the bike, I will already know how to ride it and out of all the videos this one stood out the most and definitely helped the most as it looked really confusing but you made it look a lot easier than it really is as well getting straight into the guide! I've been looking forward to getting my first motorcycle but also pretty anxious and this video really helped clear my mind on its really easier than it seems tysm lol
Ah hell ya! Glad I could help.
You did an amazing job dude and thanks for the fun sound effects
My pleasure
Probably the best tutorial I’ve seen. Learning smooth throttle and clutch control is essential. Jerking the bike is sign someone need to know how to properly handle these controls.
@Sungym , you said when we are downshifting, we lose rpm, and we need to give a little juice to match the rpm as we slowly releasing the clutch.
What rpm values for what gear?
When in gear 2 does that mean we want to be around 2000 rpm?
So rpms would be dependent on the bike and how you ride. The difference in RPMS from the 400 and the GSXR 600 are a lot different. I typically shift gears between 5-6 rpms with normal riding and with more aggressive riding around 10 - 11 rpms. Remember you can ALSO rev match to down shift I'll link a video I made for that. czcams.com/video/yBwN_GXKnIs/video.html
This is how I down shift that way I can down shift at any RPMs and not have to slowly release the clutch.
Best online tutorial so far; subbed and liked. So tired of looking at my bike in the garage
RESPECT that brother! What kind of ride we got sitting in the garage?
2021 Cbr500r, been looking at trying to figure out where to start.
@@krims0n2s great bike brother!
I love this video you went in depth with everything, you gain a subscriber
Ty ty
Getting my first motorcycle tomorrow. Super excited! Was super nervous but after watching your vid, feeling a lot more confident!! Best instructional video ever and I've been going through a ton of them!!! You rock! Thanks!!!
Hell ya!
Honesty this is THE best beginner motorcycle tutorial video I have seen and I have been watching every single one available for weeks before my MSF classes so I can jump into the riding portions like a pro.
Thank you for your slow, concise and careful explanations of each mechanism. Excellent job!
YESSSSS! Glad I could help Spencer!!!!!
Hey did you take your classes yet?! If so how did they go? I start mine the 6th!
As someone who really wants to learn how to ride & always loved sports bikes, thank you for this!
You are SO WELCOME. Thanks for taking time and dropping a comment.
@@SunGymLive Thank YOU for being a good coach/teacher on this for beginners & I will be constantly watching this on repeat until I take my lessons, as well on the rev mething & counter steering vid. Are you also gonna do more "How Tos" like on how to care for your bike when it comes to maintenance, cleaning it a certain way (especially the bike chain), etc.? I would really like to learn those the most as well!
*Edit*
Also, my first bike I also want is a Kiki😂 400 or a XZ-6R model if I don't find the ninja model/year I want for decent $$$. But my friends are trying to convince me to go 600😅
@@xmugenyoruichix NOTHING wrong with a Kiki! Ya we have more ' how tos' on the way! I started on a 600 my self even have a little review on my 600.
@@SunGymLive I'll check it out!
Wow thanks for your time making this video you did great
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!! I couldn't learn from others. You have cleared all my questions. I feel more confident now
Really great video, My only riding experience has been on automatic bikes (So Scooters) and the shifting stuff explained this basically really helps.
WOOOOT! Glad I could help brother!!!
this really helps a lot! As I probably gonna get my new bike -ninja400 I'm excited. Tomorrow will be the day! This explains step by step! though I did an MSF course here in OR, early this month and just got my M1 lic. Can't wait to enjoy riding this beast! hopefully I can manage the seat height as I'm only 5'3'' lol I like how you say "give it some juice!" hahaha thanks dude!
Hell ya give it some juice! We did a full review on it showing what a 5'3 person looks like on it if interested. czcams.com/video/7I7Y5NSRD78/video.html
@@SunGymLive I got my bike! Thanks to you guys! I think I learned a lot so far. Drove my bike from the dealership to my house and it rides so freaking awesome 👌
@@Evafonda15 WOOOT! I'm excited for you brother!!!!
Thank you! I agree with Kareem S.
Lots of videos on this subject but this one is the most clear, logical and easy to follow... Also got a chuckle here and there. GREAT VIDEO
Hell ya man! Appreciate the comment
Best explaining yet
I have trouble focusing sometimes but the noises you made definitely kept my attention 😂 Thank you for this in depth video, it was very helpful and definitely making me want to pursue getting a motorcycle in the near future.
My pleasure!!!!!!
BEST TUTORIAL! I'm new to clutches.. Never learned on a car and I'm a new motorcycle rider. Is it bad to just when you're approaching a stop sign or light to hold the clutch in and click down a few notches to first? That's how I've been doing it because I can get Rev matching down
Listen you CAN get rev matching down. We even have a video on how to rev match!!!! And no its not bad that you do that I just call that lazy shifting. It took me a minute to learn how to do it and its really fun to do. You get to hear your bike go vroom vroooom vrooooom as your down shifting compared to click click click
@@SunGymLive I'm getting a little better at up shifting before it would always jerky when I went up a gear because I wasn't doing it right and still do it occasionally.. I really need this question asked because I'm tired of my bike always jerking... So when I'm coming to a left or right turn and don't need to stop fully I'll do the lazy down shift like you said lol to 1st gear and as I'm turning I'll get on the throttle very slightly and still my bike jerks and it's embarrassing because everybody can see and also scary because it jerks me a little closer to cars and that's not good. What am I doing wrong?
@@rickyrichreacts9667 So if you know you are turning ahead you could 'rev match down' before the turn to the appropriate gear or normal shift down instead of lazy shifting. YOU don't need to go all the way down to 1st gear to turn. Keep that B in 2nd gear. 1st gear is really jerky if you don't have good throttle control.
@@SunGymLive ahhh okay I never knew that. So I can keep it in 2nd instead of 1st if I'm turning? What about when stopped, can I still keep it and take off in 2nd?
@@rickyrichreacts9667 When coming to a complete stop you would go down to 1st. Let's say you are pulling into a parking lot you could stay in 2nd then when you find your parking spot as you approach it bring in the clutch shift down to first and slowly press in both breaks to stop.
Nobody has made a better video , seriously thank you!
My pleasure
This is the first how to video that actually made me confident that I can do that! You made it make so much sense, thank you man!
Hell ya!
Amazing job bro, I’m trying to get a motorcycle at 16 to commute to school but I know In order to get my license I should take the MSF course especially since I know nothing about motorcycles😂 And I’m thinking about getting a Kawasaki 400 since it looks cool asf and an easy bike to learn any tips would be helpful
Ahh ya man the Ninja 400 is a great starting point and a bike you can grow with!
I remember when I first actually took some time to look around a bike, before even hopping on one at the MSF course, I was way weirded out by all the knobs and sticks protruding out. I thought, where do you rest your feet?! I don’t know what I was expecting, to find some car pedals or something? 😂 Oh, to be a biker newb, good times.
LOL what do you ride now???
Thank you for posting this!
My pleasure!
Def a sub for me, loved how he explained. People like him are the reason why I want to ride a motorcycle. Helpful!
Hell ya
I'm a small dude. 5'5 180 lbs. Anyone's opinion about this bike for me? I really want to be able to be flat footed but I'm short af 😣
Also, thanks for making this vid. Never road a bike before and this was very helpful!
Do you know your inseam? If you have around a 29/30 inch inseam you should be perfectly fine on this bike.
@@SunGymLive I just saw this, sorry dude. No idea what that is. I'm thinking of going into a store and just sit on one. Started watching your vidz again and loving it!

Thanks brother
