Biggest advanced rider mistake is being too comfortable. You get too comfortable suddenly you're going 80 in the rain on the highway and highside through a large puddle. Always keep in mind... Having a bike, even though you're riding slow, is better than not having a bike because you have to fix it or yourself.
That is not advanced rider mistake… That is a rider that think he… or she… is much better, then they really is.
And the rider panic when they hit the puddle, and do something stupid. So the problem is the rider has not enough training and experience. Not because the rider, are to good at riding.
Train some low speed maneuvering somewhere outside of traffic. That is how you learn to handle the bike, also in high speed. And try out braking hard on dirt and/or gravel… And experience what the bike feels like when it slips.
Learn to relax when something happens, instead of panic and think you have to do something. To do that, you have to know what to do, with out thinking. You don't learn that from riding 1000 of miles on the highway or ride a bike for 20 or 100 years. If you don't know the techniques, and have them trained in, so it is reaction. Then it is no use to know, when something sudden happens.
Better to learn how to handle the bike, in stead of riding way to slow on the highway. You drive slow on the highway, you may get hit from behind. Specially when it rains, and it is hard to see.
And I have heard that some states, you are not allowed on the Highway, when you are a beginner; so check you laws in your states.
Exactly why I don't hesitate about hitting gravel, even the roads where asphalt just stops mid-curve... AND I'm frequently parked in the yard... Street tires weren't designed for off-road, and I ride a cruiser... BUT I fishtail through and sling mud and gravel, feather the clutch and work the throttle to catch her in a slip...
Sent off for alpaca wool socks and sweater to go with the balaklava among my layers... AND I rode all winter this year. Only had a few days where there was ice enough to stay my ass home... longest stretch was 12... AND in the mountains it wasn't too bad.
You get a choice... be afraid to venture out of your "comfort zone" once in a while... OR you can learn and grow, use just a bit of care and ride a tad conservatively when things aren't optimal. ;o)
It's about time and place.
And "riding slow" doesn't mean going 40 in a 70 zone. That means, I could try to be moto GP around these Twisties and one small mistake might cost me a bunch of medical bills... Or I could just ride and have fun, going fast.. but not being too comfortable with it. Understanding time and place and not being too comfortable out there is the most important part of the rider mentality that will keep you alive.
@@Dangerwiggles Yup... I tend to ride "conservatively" around other traffic... ANY other traffic.
A lot of the roads around me are posted 45 or 55... and mostly everybody runs between 5 and 10 over, so figure on picking up your pace to "estimate pack speed" at around 60 or 65 depending (on God ONLY knows what)... AND then I back off a bit, say... 3 or so mph... OR I just stick to what the Troopers and Cops usually say "5 you're fine but 10 you're mine." SO I stick at 5 over and let the rest go around me...
The "Time to Ass Around" is when the road is clear, twisties or otherwise... AND it DOES happen... Then I calculate my risks versus reward, based on experiment or technique of intent... AND I may just judge up the pace for certain roads to work on smoothness or grace... AND I may just wring the hell out of the throttle and give "Baby" a chance to run out and breathe... Some call it an "Italian Tune Up"... BUT let's be honest, we just like to get into "a little mischief" every now and again... AND that's okay...
When I can dress for it, foul weather is a perfectly good time and reason to go for a ride... take it easy at first, of course... and gently ease on pressure and pace... feel your way out to relatively uncomfortable (but not too sketchy) limits and learn a little bit...
Early on, you'll probably learn that your tires (even "cold") are a lot more dependable than you'd expect. Then it's about smoothness and grace... finesse the controls... AND along the way, somewhere, you should pick up some faith in the motorcycle itself... If you let it, they're often competently self correcting. Just keep a steady hold and you're probably okay...
...of course... everything has its limits. That's why we DO "take it easy" out there. ;o)
? I'm extremely comfortable on my bike.. it's a good thing.. however I do respect it.. 200+hp zx10r..
2 week noob here. Just fell off my bike for the first time today. Me and the bike are ok. Thank you for the great content.
Week 3 here - I fell going 4 mph hitting a speed bumper 😅
@@Ph4tx bruh 😂
day 5 here, dropped my cbr500 stopping on a downhill exit ramp from a parking lot😃
It happens man no biggie ive come off a few times in my 10 years.
Glad you’re okay. What happened?
My first bike was not only a liter bike but a Jamie James Productions R1... can confirm, it was a monumental mistake. The only thing I learned on that bike was that if I didn't get rid of it I was 100% going to die riding it. Been riding 20 years now and that thing would still more bike than I would ever need. Sold it for more than I bought it for though so not all a loss.
What do you ride?
@@spclgstmusic Now I'm on a R1250R... too old for race bikes these days
@@troybrowning839 thats not a small bike lol
@@spclgstmusic Lol, no it's not... but over these past 20 years I've been through a bunch of smaller bikes. Next bike after the R1 was a SV650, and that was really the perfect first bike.
@@troybrowning839 i hope they sold it in mexico. Im planning to get the dr650 for my second
Oh boy, I remember exactly a year ago I was watching fresh video from Yammie, excited to buy my first motorcycle, having my MSF course scheduled in two weeks. Good ol days, now I’m watching this video excited for a good weather (midwest life) to get back on that horse, if you’re thinking about getting one, and you’re reasonable, relatively mature, and have a will, don’t think, just buy a bike
Bro are you me from the future haha, I am watching this while waiting for my msf course to start in 2.5 weeks xP
@@erthwermmusic I sure am, don’t worry, make sure to ride with at least a helmet, gloves and high boots on, and you’re going to be golden. MSF intimating before it starts, but then waiting for a second day is like waiting for a next dose of the most addicting drug. Make sure to pick the right bike too! I rushed a bit and got something too small “size wise”. Stay safe!
What was your first bike ? Any recommendations? Can't wait to be in your shoes
@@adamhicks24 hey man, I bought my first bike march 31 2021, it was Kawasaki Z650 ABS, odd choice for a guy of my height because I’m 6’6”. But I really wanted naked and my main concern was not to get too much bike for a beginner, so MT09 and Z900 we’re not reasonable for me. Z650 is a great motorcycle, reliable, looks cool, and with 400$ dominator exhaust sounds badass shooting flames, enough bike for a first one, I’ve put 5k miles on it in first season, sometime early October I got myself Ducati Panigale 899, but still have the Z650 in garage.
@@adamhicks24 I’ve ridden bunch of bikes since, so just tell me what you like, your size height/weight, age, and budget, and I’m sure I’ll have some general idea for you
Dang my wife just bought me a 2022 grom because she heard me talking about wanting one. I’m glad I got it as a beginner bike it’s so fun to ride around town and easy to learn on
The Backing into a spot thing is gold for every vehicle it dramatically reduces the risk of accidents. back into spots your driveway your garage, then you are always leaving driving forward.
great video sir.
“Backing into a spot thing is gold for every vehicle it dramatically reduces the risk of accidents.”
…on a level driveway, which some people do not have.
I want to say thank you, Last August I bought a CBR 600 as my first bike and have been steadily learning on my own. I wouldn’t have gotten the confidence without watching your videos and tips.
How has riding been for you? Ive been thinking about starting on a 600 as well.
@@x1ver if you do, go really slow and catch the basic first. The throttle aren’t crazy twitchy but you can get into some trouble: the first thing that was scariest for me was committing to leaning in a turn and judging how slow you neeed to be going. So number always slow down before the turn, look to where the turn is going not where you are and commit to a lean and gradually adjust to straighten out or turn sharper. Turns we’re the scariest part for me and somehow I came out without crashing a few times. Lessons learned. Go slow ! These are the best tips I can give you. It’s a skill you have to learn. The 600 is great once you get the hang of it. I now have a Kawasaki Zx6r which is a 636. It’s plenty fast and plenty fun for my mountain roads but I plan on hitting the track next year. Hope everything goes well
@@x1ver started on a z400 couldn't be happier, real fun for city riding and handles highway pretty good as well, just an option
@@x1ver Late response, but it’s a good size bike to start on. It’s small enough that you won’t drop or send the bike out from under you, and it’s also big enough that you won’t get bored anytime soon
@@NewyorKsK1912howd you handle the weight I’m super nervous about laying it down
Gonna definitely keep in mind, been riding a couple years now but never hurts to brush up 👍
Starting on a dual sport is one of the very few smart decisions I ever made.
I used to want to start on a dual sport when I was a young teen because I know how cops are around here and to avoid them just intentionally hitting a killing me because they assume everyone will run I figured ill get something that can go anywhere so I could run away I quickly realized that's too much hooligan energy on dual sports because I'd be too tempted to run so I'll stick with naked bikes and mostly running the speed limit
yeah my dual sport is a bit tall on me and i physically cannot waddle to a stop
@@lindseybigelow3408 ayy short gang. Got a drz myself, so its a struggle to touch the ground at all, let alone waddle when im 5'6". Have an old honda dualsport thats a bit shorter, but it is still easier to just not waddle at all
Same! DRZ400 yeeww still have her to this day, did the supermoto conversion and she's a track bike now💯
@@GoGoober looking at doing supermoto conversion myself but I have cbr wheels (in reality vtr but same dimension) and I've read conversions for them

In England, we have a set rules for progressive bike power. Currently 16 and I'm not allowed anything above 50cc legally, and then I hit 17 where my limit is 125cc. The pain is real. I can barely get up a hill on my tiny moped, nevermind keep up with any traffic.
fr im on a ped and i go 20 up hills and always restricted to 30mph
@@joshh4846 I go barely 10mph up any slope it hurts so bad
4 stroke 50cc wouldnt recommend
When you first sit on a 125 it'll feel like a liter bike compared to the mopeds 😂
Ngl if that was how ot was in the us I wouldn't ride till I could have fun😂 like at 17 I started ona r1( not the best to start on bc of the power) but I made it work and I just couldn't imagine buying something for tun and only be able to go 50 mph, like I would rather run than go 50 mph max speed
I give mad love to the YN team cause they went hard enough to remind us where we started...Yet being 161 to reply for this knowledgeable gem of facts...All I can think of is Yam's smiling face driving his Z healing up saying he was going to get back on a bike...Well done papa...and thanks Yammie, Spite, Josh, Whitney, Yusaku, and Nick!!
I started out on a Vulcan 900 Classic, the 903cc sounds very daunting, but to be honest the power delivery range helps keep the squid living deep inside me in check.
@@Leon-ql4qw got mine to top out and it was still pulling, granted I was going downhill on the turnpike, so that probably helped
Perfect video for anyone just starting out, all amazing things to look out for and do!
I love your videos, keep on the great work!
15 years ago I learned to ride on a Kawasaki 500. Perfect beginner bike for me. Currently riding a VTX1800F. Love it
A en500 or ex500? I'm looking to get an en(Vulcan) 500 this Friday and haven't ridden since I was a teen close to 13-14 years ago now. I believe they share the same engine however I do plan on cruising more than rushing so I'm shooting for the cruiser version of the 2
Finally, someone mentioned turn signal cancelation. The easiest way to get pulled out in front of!
Started last weekend on a mt07, absolutely 0 regrets!
I'm really liking your choices on scoring these videos!
The tone of this I was like … oh no.
But the honest perfectly time humor and comments really brought this video home. Thanks!
Never been so early lol , papa bless my (will be very expenssive and probably not worth it) Yamaha XT550 engine rebuild 🤌
Do it yourself and it won't be as much
in the name of the yam, the squids and pot holy roads, amen
I started on an 06 R1 and ill tell ya. There's plenty of power below 12.5k lol. Without any rider aids, they love to kick out/spin the tire even at relatively low Rpm. Not to mention that front tire until you're up into 3rd WILL come up under power and if you don't know what to do with it you're gunna loop it. So yeah I concur. Somedays i wish i started on something smaller for a couple reasons. First reason is learning curve. It's much harder to get comfy when you're terrified. Second, You don't have room to wind it out and go through gears so if you're looking to have any type of leisure riding with your cruiser buddies, you're in for a rough time. Just my personal 2 cents and at the end of the day I love my R1 and I'm happy I started on it but It's not for everyone.
I also started ona r1 when I was 17 but I think it was between 2018-2020 r1. And ye I def should have started on like a 600, I almost died the second I got comfortable to go above 100😂 I ripped it on the highway going 158 and I swept by someone Ina truck and I was so close to smashing the back of them I slowed down immediately pulled over took my helmet off and just sat there for a minute 😂 now at 19 been riding for 2 years and started to ride competitive so I'm much more experienced since I race now, I now ride my paningal v4 or my brothers BMW m1k. My sister wants to ride and she asked me what color should her r1 be💀 I panicked thinking she was gonna start on a liter bike, I basically forced her to start ona r6 lol, not to slow where its not fun and thrilling but not fast where ur gonna freak when you realize ur ripping at 160
Your videos are fun to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Looking to get my first bike and your videos have been a wonderful help thank you for all that you do
Oh dear Rossi, he's giving away the Turbo Busa. Oh my. Is this possible?
@YammieNoob love your vids man it has been like 75% of the stuff I watch on this deployment with the other 25% being on the oh so nice husqvarna svartpilen 401. You basically helped me decide to make it my first bike when I get back home.
Definitely going to get a street bike when I get stationed in the States again, miss dirt riding too 😂
I’ve gotten into the habit of reseting my turn signal before approaching each intersection in case I left a blinker on somewhere.
Last thing I want is a car that actually sees me and thinks I’m making a turn so they make the jump in front of me.
Hands down my first bike “ 1994 ninja 500r “ I completely built it from the ground up, it needed a motor and had a clean title and from the age I found a parts bike and swapped everything over and it was actually fun
I'm commuting around town on a vintage 300cc 2 stroke. Never drive over a 45mph zone. Tons of fun.
I love your content, and always watch these beginner vids, been riding for half a decade now
Been watching these beginner vids by you since before I got my first bike…
Shows how much I doubt my own skill
Never thought I would be watching a man in Texas dancing around his motorcycles; but here we are.
I love how I was already planning on getting a CRF300L and here you are getting ready to give away one XD
Lol, enjoyed your video and your comedy. So many little funnies tucked in here. Subscribed!
Going to my second motokhana day soon and I love it! Parking lot warrior nerd ftw
I watched that ending over and over My Lord 🤦♂️ this guy is stacked
Started on a 05 636 absolutely loved how she rode
just bought a 07 Honda shadow 750,I've been binging your beginner rider videos. thank you!
Eyy! Back in December of '21 I got a 05 Honda Shadow Spirit 750
I had a suzuki scooter 110cc 10 years ago and then I bought a gsxr1000, I was aware of the power, learned the bike pretty quick, I went on the track months after and did pretty good. The very next weekend I got my CCS license " racing license " been on the podium every race, second round I got bummed to amator, then a round later was a second off the expert time. Love the sport and next season I'll be working on a few things to make it to MotoAmerica " maybe ". ✌
Just did number 9 today twice on the ride home from getting my first bike. First time riding.
i totally get number 2, especially with the comment about throttle response. One of my bikes is a postie bike (CT110), and it tops out at 80kmh (50mph), so wherever im going, its always full throttle
😂
Yammie Noob evolved into Yammie Pro after this one. Thanks for the educational video
I am riding a victory at 110. First bike, I had my first accident cornering. I love it!!
I'm one of the talented ones who can pull nose first into a spot, hop off and smoothly execute a kickstand turn for when I leave. Or I'll just back in. Decisions decisions.
I swear. This turning signal thing is a real issue I have. Everytime I forget it.
#11) Don’t ride with a passenger until you have mastered more than the basics, and are fully confident in your riding ability! For the person behind you to be a good passenger, they need to move in unison with the driver, to keep the bike balanced and in control. If you’re moving around incorrectly, and the passenger is copying you… two wrongs don’t make a right. It just makes your screw up and lack of control twice as bad! Remember, there is nothing sexy or cute about a passenger covered in road rash, or worse!
I’m running the Michelin Pilot sports on my bike. Love them, they could use a little more bite but when their warm they are amazing.
I’m 54 and I just learned how to ride. My husband got me a Honda rebel 250 and it was the perfect size. I graduated and bought myself an Eliminator 450 and that’s all I need. I don’t want the extra anxiety of too much power, weight and tip toeing the bike.
I am not new. But I still like your videos, I do the kickstand turn whenever possible. I love it when people see me do it and come talk to me about it.. I just got a brand new 2024 Honda Transalp.. I can spend that thing on a dime already.
My first time watching in the first hour of an upload 🙏🙏
As a short guy it sucks trying to back up a motorcycle, even more so if there is any bit of an incline. I definitely recommend backing into the parking spot than backing out into traffic, even if its just in a parking lot.
I started out on a Honda cb1000r and I love it
And so the monday becomes a little better
Papa Yam "back your bike into the parking spot" also Papa Yam....literally has every bike in his shop pulled in nose first. 🤔🤣😂😝
Heh. Yeah. My second time out on the street, I stalled at an intersection... and because the first stall psyched me up, I ended up stalling it five times. Like a full blown stall tantrum.
I feel that and the anger you keep stalling and when you finally get it... you put too much throttle and now your bike wants to go race mode.... I ride a gsxr
Can't wait to pick up my first tomorrow!!!( Svart 401)
Kinda find it funny that most of these I learnt during riding classes (mandatory lessons before you can even try the exams to get a driving license). And driving a car for a year really transfered some knowledge to riding i.e. not fixiating on a tree during a sharp turn
There's one time when I park nose first - when the parking spot goes uphill and I'm on the ADV bike. Don't really like waddling uphill into a spot when I'm on tip toes. Super lame. I pull in nose first then when leaving I can just pull in the clutch and coast backwards. I perfected that move when I was living in a place that was all hills and my electric start didn't work, and kick starting wasn't super reliable either. Got to where I can park on a hill then when leaving just swing back and around then coast down the hill and pop the clutch to start.
Yammie: you should be able to clean the chain, change the oil and set the suspension.
Me: a 16 year old which buys a soviet 650cc motorcycle that have been rusting for 18 years just so i can get experience in repairing my own bike
7:07 that is not a problem for me, as i have a reverse gear on it.
Lets gooooo love from Hong Kon Yammie
I learned to ride on a 250 rebel. First bike I bought was 2005 GSXR600 20th Anniversary. I miss that thing.
I"m watching this waiting for my first bike's driving plates. In a week I should be upon it😏💪💪
When you mentioned getting all your work done at the shop I froze because I genuinely tried to work on my bike but I was so confused with the clutch😢
About nr8... My gear shift once fell out during a ride, luckily all the bolts stayed in place, but I had to learn how to not stall my 125cc varadero from 5th gear... And the road went slightly uphill...
5 minutes later at home I just screwed it back on but still
2:18 “spreadsheet with a bunch of motorcycles on it”
You didn’t have to call me out like that bro
Highly recommend Champ U ( yamaha riding school 50$ only) watching those courses made me realize how little i knew!
Damnit Yammie, you told me to start on a turbo hayabusa and I thought that was overkill. So I bought a non-turbo hayabusa to start out.
Im 17 years old and have owned 2 different groms a Ninja 400, gsxr 600, gsxr 750, 250 dirtbike and 450 dirtbike all in about a year and half. I now have my two bikes im going to keep for a while but I love that I have had experience on all kinds of bikes!
I'm 19 but I started riding at 17 also, although my first bike regrettinly was a r1💀 took me like 4 months to finally get comfortable and when I did get comfortable my dumbass ripped it at 165 and almost died lol😅. My sister has a r6 and I tried it just to see and I def wish I would have started on that hike lol
Kickstand turn, didn't hear about that before yet, going to try that some time. Seems faster than walking the bike back into a parking spot.
Number one in my book is pulling up too close to the gas pump . you have to leave room for your bike to lean over on its side stand AND have room to get off and walk between the pump and the handlebars etc.the hose is plenty long enough trust me so feel free to just park it way out there like 3 or 4 feet from the pump is no problem.
Watching this as a new rider, haven’t made any bike friends yet and no idea where to take my bike to for that rear tire screw I got yesterday 😅
Definitely feeling like a noob
Thanks for your videos yamm
Same here lol I’m watching this video laughing to myself. Just passed the msf course yesterday and have a brand new Honda cbr600rr in the garage 😅 I was just telling my wife I need to meet someone who has a bike because I have questions about mine 😂
CZcams is for people without friends. Go with it.
had to watch cause i just got my first bike, passed my endorsement and just got my license at the dmv 3/25/22
Mine came with Angel GTs, great set out of the factory
And then theres me, i've been riding for 14 years, own3 track bikes and two road bikes. and still watching a video from the noob channel about noob things to avoid.. well its still winter here, and to cold to ride :-(
I thought I was quick, but yall beat me here
i just bought my yamaha r1 2020 as my first bike. im hipped yammieeee
Carefully observing local bike nights from the bushes😂
I'm looking at the Z400 for my first bike. Lighter and controllable, enough power for highways (and trouble), less strain on your back, yet still fun. As a beginner I don't need anything crazy.
Excellent choice, I started on a Suzuki GS500F, 13 years ago.
Biggest beginner mistake is to watch Yammie noobs early content…😉
I've been riding for 18 years now and I hardly ever back my bike in I didn't know what was a noob thing just how I was taught.
Dumped mine in my driveway. Normally when I back out my garage and turn up hill. Something was in my way so I backed downhill. To fast backwards didn't end well.
im learning how to ride on my dads 2017 yzf R1 (he passed away and left his bike to me for some reason) sooo- 🧍♀️
The guy speaks facts 😂 had all of these happen
I pulled off the road to talk to a fellow motorcyclist today and forgot to check and make sure my kick stand was all the way down. Damn near dropped my bike on the ground, lucky i was able to push her up.
Not the tub of Vaseline on the bedside table 😂
Just started riding a 125cc Chinese-Austrian bike. 125cc because here you can drive it with a car licence. It is kinda scary learning to ride in live traffic :D
Hey Yamms, is the BILT techno 2.0 Sena Bluetooth helmet at least passable as a first helmet? Also, thoughts on Triumph Tiger 660 Sport as first bike? Love the channel, thanks!
I started on a turbo busa now I have short term memory
Yeah me too I started on a turbo busa now I have short term memory
Yammie I just got back from my second ride!!!!
Hey papa yam ! I’m headed to the Austin area for work and was wondering if you had a physical location to pick up some sweet yammie noob mech. Other than the website of course.
Like them aprilias yammie!
For the First 2, as a person Who needed to take the 125cc BC at 16 you have to have that limitation, i would recommend an honda Varadero 125, It Is legal with the A1 licence, and It gives the experience of a bigger bike as It has the same body of the 750cc one, so you can learn to use a bigger and heavier bike while in the 125cc, and One of the only 125cc V twin cylinder bikes if not the the only one as i don't know about any other 125 with the same type of engine
Dealership for the win!!! Warranty baby! LOL
always respect the bike never get to comfortable always respect the ride or it will buck you
i made the mistake of getting an 05 buell xb12r firebolt and rode it only 4 times and tried to go fast and rolled it at 100
was some problem with my svarpilen 401 and it stalled all the time.... and I have many years of biking, it was so frustrating looking like I hade not control :p But after a service the found it and after that it was fine. My friend hade the sam thing with a duke 390.
"Buying to little bike" "crys in cbt"
there are a ton of these tips also apply to skiing lol
Riding beyond limits/too fast entering corners: Gotta late apex of course, and learn to use front brakes in corners for when that's not enough, them you're basically set. (I mean, in lieu of not entering the corner too fast to begin with, haha.) I feel like I mention learning to brake while leaned constantly, but I know overcooking corners is a huge problem and using that just mostly precludes the possibility of it ever happening.)
Definitely also never try and keep up with others just ride at your own pace.
