Somewhat painful to watch because it brings back memories for any motorcyclist. We all started this way. Some very good YT channels to watch for training videos-- MCrider, MotoJitsu, Fortnine. The algorithms will show you others but these are three of the best. Good luck and ride safe.
You good homie! That exhaust don't do you any favors because you can't get that note to help you know what to do! You need to know that the 2 wheels community is SO PUMPED to have a new rider out here putting money as well as love back in the community! Hell, I haven't been riding too long myself as an adult but the love is there. Only haters are going to complain about it and they don't count my guy! Love the bike, I'm actually getting my 500 in the white this week! Know that you got it! Hope to see you out there!
Mannnn😂 sitting here watching this really brings back my days of starting riding I can't help but laugh (with you I promise) keep up the riding and stay safe! (BTW got the same bike, love it)
Oh and sorry for another comment but a tip when downshifting and your bike will love it … when you down shift you will notice your bike kinda jumps.. when you release the gas and pull the clutch in . when you down shift before you release the clutch blip the throttle .. just a little tiny rev… rev match with your tire speed .. your bike will be so smooth downshifting
Congrats on your new bike and thanks for the tip I’ve been wanting to try rev matching but I just wanted to get used to the bike first but I think it’s time for me to practice now
i’m just now realizing how much riding dirt bikes helped me with switching to street bikes. straight out of the safety course i got a bike and immediately was going 90 down the interstate
Don't be too afraid of the throttle coming away from a stop. It's the clutch that will dictate how fast or slow you will take off. Like Robert Simmons (Be the Boss of your Motorcycle) teaches "Preload, trust and believe".
Something that helped me as a new rider, knowing the speed ranges in each gear. As our 500s have the same transmission as the 400, it should be very similar: 1st: 37mph 2nd: 59mph 3rd: 77mph 4th: 96mph 5th: 111mph 6th: 119mph. Learning this made me ride differently, now I know if I'm on a back road, going 45, I should NOT be in 6th, 5th, or even 4th gear, 3rd or even 2nd is a better choice, and more fun too lol.
I’m debating whether to get this or the Honda DCT 750X since I like the style and speed of the Kawasaki but I’ve never driven a standard vehicle so I’m uncertain as to which one I should go for. I’m a new rider and will take my classes soon so any advice is appreciated
Honestly in my opinion I think it depends on what you want to do with your bike. I just looked up the Honda and it looks like a touring bike and the Ninja 500 is a sport bike, so if you want comfort for long rides I would probably go with the Honda but if you want a good beginner bike to learn on that still has enough power to get where you need to go and is affordable I would go with the Ninja.
@@vellevlogs3467 I also want to focus on speed when I get used to it. So I was focusing on the Kawasaki for it since it seems all around speedy for a beginner and I’m planning to ride with my brother around and his bike is pretty fast so the Honda seemed a bit slow for it and wouldn’t keep up with him very well.
@@kiran5793 it might be better to get the Ninja then so you can learn the basics and learn to handle the bike at high speeds without putting yourself in too much danger like if you were to start on a 600…. But handling any bike at high speed is dangerous
@@kiran5793 DO NOT GO FOR SPEED FOR YOUR FIRST EVER BIKE. Get a small cc bike for your own safety since you can most likely sell it later for the same price and upgrade when you are comfortable with riding.
@@hypepoem7800 thanks for the concern, Im gonna do just that, sadly my brother had a motorcycle accident last night and his on intensive care so I’m really torn considering I was getting it so I could ride with him.
I just picked one up yesterday after your first video!!! Already have 500 miles on it… took my Old bike up Thursday.. 500 miles. Slept in a hotel.. bought bike 11 am ride it home 500 miles lol. Well 498 Not even 24 hours it’s ready for the first oil change haha

@@vellevlogs3467 when you get it down smoothly it’s the coolest sounding thing haha 😂 I feel badass when I do it
@@vellevlogs3467 you watch Yammie noob??? He my favorite motorcycle guy and fortnine
Congratulations on your first bike man. Keep it fun keep it safe. Remember er no matter what other people ride we are fam on them roads

Mbn I had to learn everything from scratch, nobody in my family rides motorcycles😭
@@vellevlogs3467 nobody in my family rides either😂 but it’s been almost a decade since my dirt bike days. just more comfortable on 2 wheels i guess
@@vellevlogs3467 same here bro new rider nobody in my family rides, joined a couple groups on FB helped a lot just started a month ago
I like that KB intro
It's crazy how the display on this shutters out with the frame rate, while the TFT display I have on the KRT SE looks clear and easily readable.
I don’t think it’s that bad I kind of like how it’s hard to see how fast you’re going on camera (I don’t be speeding though😂)

Even RPM's as soon as you hear that thing revving just shift.

You got motorcycle license?
Yea I got it about 3 weeks after I got the bike
Do Americans not learn to ride on the roads and do a driving test on the road?
We have a MSF course for motorcycle safety that we can take before we actually go to the dmv and take the test to get our endorsement
Aparently they can get a permit that allows them to ride on the street right of the bat without sny prior experience, its very wierd to me aswell 😂
