Motorcycles and Short Rider Tips & Tricks on a Yamaha R6 For Short People!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 22. 12. 2020
- I am 5'6 inches tall with a 30 inch inseam and I can ride any sportbike I want and so can you. In this video, I demonstrate the proper riding technique for short riders who want to ride really tall motorcycles but feel intimidated. The motorcycle I am using is my 2020 Yamaha R6 with a 33.7 inch seat height which can be very intimidating at first but with practice, you will gain confidence just like I have.

Part 3 of my tips / tricks for Short People is out.. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/DM6-dXVAJeY/video.html
Im 5'1" on and R3 (31in seat height)and have gotten comfortable just keeping my roght from on peg/break and shifting my body about to the left to flat foot my L foot đshort ladies yes we can ride sport bikes we don't have to tip toe or settle for low seat height bikes.
Thank you... lower seat height or lowering the bike is basically saying "I am not interested in learning so I will take the shortcut approach." Gaining confidence is about doing things you're uncomfortable with (at least in the beginning)
Ok but what do you do at junctions with uneven cambers? Like the asphalt falls away to the right side? I'd love to just go for it but this puts me off!!
I was considering lowering the r7 I just bought as it's so tall for my short legs, I'm only 5'2 but I can dangle completely strait legged with it up right and lots of distance from my foot to the ground but the more I played with the bike and its balance points the more I realized I could lean on one foot which is sturdier than two unsteady tiptoes. So I'd rather learn and adjust to the bike than try to make the bike adjust to me and risk changing the bike completely.
aww thats so cute :)
When someone told me that Marc Marquez is only 5'7" that really changed my perception about fear of being short while riding sport bikes. I'm also 5'7", about 29" inseam, and an '07 R6 was my first bike. I learned everything of what not to do in my first hour or so of riding up and down my neighborhood and it really made me stand back and question whether I still wanted to ride. I took the MSF course at a HD riding school a few weeks later and after a few days of messing around on their Street 500's it made riding so much more fun again. Got back home the next day and took the R6 for a ride and had a blast.
This will be my third season of riding, with my third different bike. Starting on an R6 is definitely doable. It's skill floor is low enough that if you're willing to learn you can definitely ride it, and a skill ceiling of professional racing. After a year of that I traded it for a Ducati 999, my second bike and first liter bike. It's behavior was incredibly similar to that of the R6. Super nimble, light weight, with not much speed at the top. Down low it was a torquey monster (no pun intended) that chugged and shook all over in first gear up until about 25mph, but after that it was super smooth. Not something I'd recommend to start with but something I'd say anyone could ride after a few lessons. A few weeks ago I sold my 999 and immediately went back to a Yamaha again but this time an R1. I missed all the quirks of owning a Yamaha and the ease of maintenance, plus the sound of the CP4 R1 is unmistakable. Compared to the R6, I was amazed. It's far more comfortable with the clipons higher up, foot pegs lower and more forwards, the seat is more rounded instead of being flat allowing me to touch the ground with easy with both feet. Throttle response is close to that of the R6 but with just a little bit more torque, but it never seems to slow down once you get on it. I'm not going to say you should start on an R1, but I won't say it can't be done either.
I'd say anyone with just a few hours on a 125cc in a parking lot doing slow maneuvers and practice can ride anything; however, I spent hours of time reading, watching, and learning from others here on CZcams and from forums about racing and riding techniques in order to be a better rider. Two of the biggest points that stick out from everything I've learned so far is to stay vigilant and be ahead of the bike. You must look out for other traffic, road conditions, pedestrians, animals, etc... Look to see if a car is about to move from a stoplight not by just looking at the vehicle, but at its wheels turning. Look to see if there's an object in the road ahead or a road hazard through the cars ahead of you, not just the one directly ahead of you. Is that person on their phone and paying attention? Do they even hear you? Look out for the dog, deer, horse, etc.. on the side of the road. Slow down, and keep looking at the road before the car ahead of you slams on their brakes. Simple things like that which you can look for while driving too will definitely help you with reaction times and staying upright on your bike. As for staying ahead of your bike, your judgement on speed for corner entries, undertaking other riders/vehicles, is just as big as looking through the turn and not directly at it. Keep looking at the surface of the road for dust, sand, dirt, gravel and oil and stay clear but keep your eyes looking through where you want to ride. Use progressive braking techniques to keep the bike settled and in-order to ride smoothly. I personally chose to cover both the clutch and front brake levers with two fingers all the time to save the .5 seconds of reaction and repositioning of my hands, which also gives smoother inputs of throttle by not having a death grip on it (thumb, and two outside fingers is all it takes).
All of this wasn't learned in a few days, weeks or months. Just like in your job, you continually learn to do things differently that suits your better. The same applies to riding as you'll never stop learning.
You by far take the prize for the biggest comment of all time on this channel.. .đđ
That said.. You make some great points. Though like you, only a small minuscule percentage will spend hours and days reading and watching how-to style videos. in 1.5 years, I managed to become an expert class track rider by starting on a 400cc and working my way up. But only a small percentage will get on a 400.
This is why for the "majority" of people, I always suggest 400cc class as their first bike. Only people who're level headed, have self control and can absorb information and continue to do it through books, programs and courses should start with R6 or R1 as their first bike (ridiculous still if you ask me) but like you said.. its doable.. but only for the right person.
@No_Name cool story bro
@No_Name why are you so pressed. The video is clearly targeted towards new riders. The fuck is your misconception about my comment thinking that âyeah hop on a sport bike and youâre a Rossiâ
Good job man. U r motivating short people like us in great way. đ
Thank you for this! I'm 5'6 too and am planning to get myself an R6 soon.
Iâm 5â7 and I just bought myself a 2021 R1 today⊠Iâm literally tippy toeing the bike and it makes me so nervous since my 05 R1 is so much lower. Pray for my tippy toeing skills.
How are you getting on? Iâm the same height as you and wanting a 2019 R1 but sat on one and being on my tip toes is so uncomfortable. Iâm so used to flat footing my GSXR600. Iâm just weary of U-turns and reversing such a tall bike! đ
@@yup1379 thats a guy i think.
Nice cat! I am a guardian of a beautiful lovely grey tuxedo girl cat đ± đ đ» đâ⏠đ„°
Donât tippy toe, take his advice and have only one leg on the ground
R1 is literally the tallest sportsbike
Iâm 5â6 and I just got a 2016 R6 60th year anniversary edition. And this is exactly how I get on and get off the bike. Glad to know Iâm not the only one
Nice. A clear explanation and demo
This video you made is like an Angel recusing me from a very dark corner, seriously this is some amazing advice! Thank you so much!
Youâre very welcome đ
This is absolutely the BEST âshort riderâ video!!!! Thank you THANK YOU!!!! This is giving me the confidence I needed to become better acquainted with my new zx6r!
putting up your height in the details made me subscribed to your channel! :D (coz we have the same height) hope to see more actions from you. ride free, ride safe my brother!
I sat on the tuono 660 and I was tippy toe. I love to get this bike but hesitated. this video helped me feel a lot better knowing what to do in different situations. now I should book a test ride to really try the bike.
Thanks, this was very helpful. I am also 5â6â and just bought a Ducati Streetfighter V4.
Thank you so much brother you are very professional and detailed looking forward for more videos.
More to come!
this is by far the best video, specially for short riders like me. thank you so much ! a million love and likes here from Philippines
Youâre welcome! đ
Wow, tnx!!!! Awesome content
Really useful.
Thank you very much. Informative. Iâm 5â5â w/ 30 inseam
I'm also 5'6" and my motorcycle's seat height is about 855mm. New subscriber here from Philippines! Your vid tutorial is really helpful. I think i'm gonna try this technique with a Versys1000 or an R1.
Awesome....
Great info bud....
Excellent video
Your videos are very positive, I like it đ
5'3" Rider here. Bikes I've owned and riden for 7yrs+ are Honda Grom(fun city bike around town ~65mph max depending on weight) and my new R3 are great short bike if speed not your main objective. Plenty of power in the R3 for highways and easy driving around town. I'm still tippy toeing on the R3 but it's not bad at all. Still can flat foot my left on the ground with my right foot on the rear brake.
This was very helpful! Thanks for this video!
Youâre welcome đ
I am 5" 7" with 30 inseam and I just purchase a 2022 Yamaha YZF R1M. You are spot on, it really doesn't matter about the height. It's all about being comfortable and knowing your bike.
Homie what's your experience till date ?? Bcz even I am 5.7 and 30 inseam so I am looking forward to purchasing a Yamaha R1 bcz it's my dream bike so yeah quite concerned about it if I will be able to ride it or not
Great video man đ
Great work đ
Thanks Petro head for your vlog about small rider and riding a big bike.I learned some of the technic.
Youâre welcome!
Keep up the good work mate
Love your videos. Someone asked about reversing as a short person and you mentioned itâs obvious get off and walk it. However maybe not so obvious for. 5â2 with a 460lb tall bike. It is a bit challenging. Maybe a video on different methods to reverse and back into a spot on an angle
Yea, definitely. You're not the first to ask... It's been on my mind for a few weeks to make this video. Stay tuned!
U have earned my like and subscribe thank u â€ïž
I have a 28 inseam and a somewhat top heavy Enfield INT650 bike I bought earlier this year. It first it was a challenge and it was a good thing I first installed the big drop bars because I have dropped the bike a few times when learning how to handle it (no damage). There is one thing I do that I'd like to suggest and that is to build up the strength in your feet so you can push hard while on tip-toes. When standing on my toes, I can "toe foot" on both sides and I feel much more in control now when something comes up needing to support the bike on either the left or right sides. There is one other thing that I could wish for and that is a kickstand on the right side too. Finally I want to stress just how important it is to learn to control the clutch's "friction zone."
These are good videos. Havenât seen anyone go into detail like this on this subject. Good job.
Thanks for the tips you're awesome mate đ
Youâre welcome âșïž
Very helpful thank you
Thank you for real-time tutorial.
đđźđł
Really encouraging learning 'How to Ride a Tall Bike as a Short Rider' from an ACTUAL short(ish) rider.
Thanks so much for your help
great motivation
Great advise. I also have 29-30ish inseam. The tallest bikes I had ridden: 32 inch for street, and 34 inch for dirt. My next challenge is the dual sport such as CRF 300L with about 35-36 seat height. I am struggled to understand why mfg make such tall bike for small cc. If I am 6ft tall, I would never consider that size, too under powered.
I am also around your height and just bought a 2020 orange and black R6. It's a beautiful bike and while it's a bit awkward at first, it soon becomes second nature to maneuver in slow speed environments. It's a a fun challenge managing a tall bike and feels like an accomplishment at the very least.
Yep I hear you! đ€
this is very helpful for short rider
Definitely have a subscriber here thank you so muchđđœ
Thanks for the sub!
Hi, I think that I've seen you filming there. I cross the stop sign and go up the bike path to the left (11:07) every Saturday morning. Been watching some videos and practicing because I just bought a Husky FE350S with a 37" seat height so it's the tallest motorcycle that I have. I'm 5'11" but with a long torso so my inseam is only about 30". It really doesn't seem too bad. I can get both toes down easily but am practicing sliding to the left and right to put a foot down for when I run into that situation where I get stopped by a rock or something and my foot goes down in a low spot. Stand up on the pegs to balance in place and which ever side it starts to lean to, I slide my butt to that side and put a foot down. I will add some wood under the tires to raise it up more just to help with that muscle memory. I see a lot of videos of people riding enduro and falling over when they have to put a foot down and it goes into a low spot. One thing that really helped me finally decide to buy this taller motorcycle was the salesperson had shorter legs and he rides a tall off road bike. He told me that I'd get used to it and it really won't be a problem, already I'm feeling better with it. Thanks for the videos and have fun riding.
I have watched both of your episodes about short riders (I am 5â 5â) and both had boost my courage to continue in upgrading to bigger bike. Having a Yamaha R3 as my first motorbike at age 49 đ , confidence and courage doesnât easily come by đ. The interest and curiosity are both pushing me to tick another item on my bucket list but of course considering my limitations due to my age and riding experience (riding for more 2 months now). đ
Next thing to overcome is that whole âIâm forty nineâ thing.. Iâm 45.. go watch my track videos for some more confidence. Youâre a perfect age to ride. Its all about attitude. Enjoy! đ
Iâm 46 and still riding sportbikes. My buddyâs father is 70 and rides a CBR1000rr.
@@lagunavoluck2350 All about attitude my friend! Keep going!
You are a good teacher.
Thank you!
I bought a used r6 that was lowered. I was worried about the handling so I raised it back up to stock, tbh itâs not bad until stopping on an uneven surface.
I'm 5' roughly and I've just bought my first bike, being an YZFR-125..So happy I found your videos, this helps so much
Thank you :)
How did you manage on the yzfr125 I want to get one but the seat height makes me nervous
@@MabzProductionz I had both the front and back lowered, if you're nervous, try a 50cc bike until you're confident on the roads then go from there
@@chlo3kate_984 Ah you got it lowered did that affect the handling? Nah I've already got experience on a 125cc scrambler and tried the yzfr but I don't like tip toeing on these yamahas. I'm 5'6 even then it's a bit dodgy when it comes to stopping on uneven roads.
@@MabzProductionz Yeah, it'll change the handling slightly, more so the cornering, but I didn't notice much bc I never really rode it when it was at its original height due to not even being able to tip-toe or touch with one foot
@@chlo3kate_984 Can you make some videos of riding the bike? I'm 5 ft 5 and would LOVE a YZF-R125 / R6 in the future but the only thing stopping me is my height >.>
Your videos are very helpful to us short people. You have taught us to conquer our fear.
Fear = lack of knowing. (and now you know)
@@PetroHead wise as frak sir
I love the colors on that R6 đ
Youâre gonna love the new colors even more.. keep watching.
Skill is the key not the height ! â€ïž
very nice Video, you deserve more subscribers
Thank you! Hard work always pays off.. especially when others find it useful / helpful. đ
Thank u
Iâm buying an r6 for a first bike never been on any bike before
Wish me luck
Thank you đđđ
I recently dropped my 3-day old Panigale V2, because I panicked brake. Lucky, I am safe although the bike did get slight damage. But I am now learning from your videos. I will take the bike again for practice and apply what I just learned from your videos. But I will have to wait for the sliders I ordered. Thanks for the reminder.
buddy, try to first enjoy the bike by listening to its exhaust sound while you cruise in 62 miles or 80 miles and gradually increase the speed, feel the engine's vibration while you rev it , you will never crash again ..
This guy, dandan the fireman, fast eddie, are all some excellent people to watch for riders
I'm 5'7, 27 inseam. I ride my cbr600rr no problem.
My best tip is to stay in gear at stops, so you won't need to do the leg shuffle
seriously ? from searching in google, that bike has 32 inches seat height. How do you manage riding it?
@7:44 ur outfit is super dope! Geared up without sacrificing style!
Thank you! Always ATGAT with style!
Iâm 5â3 and was worried about this, Iâm not sure what my inseam is rn, I think itâs about 30in but an R6 is what I want to get eventually, so this is cool to see.
Thanks sir đđđ
Well coming from Australia the camber of the road is the opposite and sometimes the camber can be unpredictable and more extreme when you least expect it so I would put my right foot down even if that means having to use the front brake rather than the rear brake.
Nice!
Iâm 17, 5â6 or 5â7 and Iâm thinking of getting a motorcycle as well. Your vid made me feel a lot more comfortable. Thank you!
Youâre welcome. If you want my suggestion, start on a 250cc-400cc bike. You have the rest of your life to upgrade as you gain more experience. Have fun!
You are very tall man. Girls will like you
I am 5'4.. just bought my 2021 CBR500R today tip toe all the way home hahaha.. I just learned how to ride last week from MSFC
Im 5.2 riding zx6r 2008 its all about training my bike still on stock height no problem at all just make sure no panic
I am not a short person per say but the R1 I purchased right now is a little tall so both feet can touch about 50%. Problem is I have 1 limp foot which has nearly 0 movement. So I primarily keep my good foot flat and use the dumb on to back break by just increasing pressure
Sick looking bike.
This is perfect. I'm a short rider myself
I put thick insoles in my riding boots, definitely helped a bit! Super cheap mod to add a cm or so to your reach.
Youâre doing remarkable job, I really appreciate your videos specially the way you describe |Love from India đźđł|

I am 5'4 maybe 5'5 and I get really intimidated by these big machines but I love them so much but I'm just scared of like falling down on a bike especially during u turns which almost happened to me onboard a Ninja 250
I put a heat temp gun to see how hot the frame gets and it was hitting 150 degrees almost which I think is insane. Everyone I talked to says itâs normal that the frame gets hot but 150 degrees thatâs crazy
I'm 5,10-11 and I'm riding my tiger đ 955i like a 6,9 feet tall person. Just keep always the right or left foot on the ground without leaning too much whenever you're standing still, and everything will work perfectly fine from you đ
I wish I saw this video before I started riding with my 80,2cm (31,5") tall bike with my 75cm (29,5") legs ':D.. Luckily I learned these tricks by myself. You can also try lowering the bike a bit (instead of actually lowering it) by tightening the shock absorbers, if it doesn't affect too much on the riding comfortness. (That's what I did. But I rode an allrounder on the street, so there was much to tighten from). That should give you up to over 1 inch lower bike, depending on how much you can tighten the absorbers. Good luck on the road my short fams!
Your 5'6 Jesus I'm 5'3 and I plan to get that same exact R6 you got next year hahahaha I currently rock on a Ninja 400 which is enough for both of my foot to be tip toe. But thanks for the tips man, I'm even more confident in getting my R6
you can spend the same bike money to increase your height from 5.3 to 5.6 , theres an sucessful surgery to regrow bones , you should check it out on CZcams
@@Cocoboi7 seriously?
Haha.. yea let me dismember myself because Iâm so insecure.. learning new skills! Nah too much effort đđ
Man that orange is the nicest thing since the 06 tribal orange Honda cbr 600RR đ
Itâs on sale right now on eBay if you want it.
Iâm 5â0 and I ride a ninja 400. I think I may have to lower the R6 cause Iâm ready for an upgrade
Hey I got an r6 also Iâm like 5â 4â lol was here to see if you did it the same way I dođ€·ââïž howwww is your mic so clear? I tried making a video on a ride all I get is wind lol teach uss
I'm 5"5 but i really like the R1 which have 33,7 inch height seat too, i still haven't get the opportunity to try and sit on the R1 so i'm still afraid that i can't ride it
And your video is inspired me somehow
thanks for those useful tips
Youâre welcome. #skill not #height
@@PetroHead Thanks!
so this exact same situation, but you have a passenger. Do you ask them to mount before or after moving up the kickstand?
Im 5'7, 31 inseam. Pretty much ok with the one leg down situation, but im still pretty nervous about a passenger mounting with these sensitive balance issues.
I'm 5 "4" and I don't want my height to stop my dream of having a sports bike that's at least 200 or 400 cc.. If I ever find this vid after I get one, I'll tell you guys about my experience
New subscriber here
I think Iâm gonna pull the trigger on a bike soon. I know how to shift/ downshift and everything but i donât really know how to maneuver or really ride at all. Any suggestions for a first bike? Kinda nervous but i really want one!
Sadly, even with all the tricks I learned so many bikes are not accessible, taking my 5.2â đą
I tried some low seat touring bikes (Goldwing , BMW K1600 GTL) and all I could manage was riding a highway straight. Forget about backing it up, or low speed maneuvering in a crowded city traffic.
When I see how easy my buddies handle those bikes and compare with what effort I put just to keep them up while tipping my toes I feel sadđą.
Anyway, we need to learn how to be happy with what we haveâŠ
Stay Safe!!
Excuses excuses.. look up Dani pedrosa, motogp rider 5 foot 2 inches..
Hi, when you stop the bike, how to change the lower gears? And when you start turn on the bike it seems like you already in gears? How?
5 f 4 and the worst thing about my r6 was not being able to flat foot to back it up, hated that but otherwise it was fine just had to walk it back off the bike sometimes, hard to get the leg power to walk her backwards sitting on it with tip toes, so ill did lower the bike but not enough so I just dealt with it and looked stupid but I disnt care.im short and cannot help it..
Dude, at 5' 6" your a giant, try being 5'1" :) :)
Great tips.
Nice video!
what do you think about the R1?
I got an R1 on the channel already and an R1M coming soon.. check IG!
5,7 150 getting a zx6r soon good on a 31-32in seat
I'm 5'6 as well. But my personal preference is just a low seat. And don't wanna go higher that I can't touch w/ both feet. Anyway, subbed. cheers!
Thank you!
@@PetroHead No worries bought a bike 3 weeks ago a ktm duke 200 and I asked them to lower the suspension. haha! But, probably next time I'll do tiptoeing If I'm good enough. heh!
@@den2ofoz You want my advice.. ask them to put it back to stock. Only way to learn is to face your fears.
can a 5'2 ride superbikes. i wanna own a ducati v4r or rsv4 or maybe r1m, can a short rider handle the height and weight of the bikes i mention
Hey man! We have almost identical measurements, my building being really stocky, thick thighs.. Iâm currently on a 2017 Street Triple 675R and can get half of both feet down. I have an 890R coming mid January and not sure what to expect. I previously owned a 390 and fell in love with KTM. I know the 890 is slim, was wondering if you think itâll be much different than my current situation. The Triple is not as narrow, wondering if that would negate the height increase thatâs coming with the 890. Appearance your videos and the time you put in.
Striple and 890 have similar seats, you'll be fine. If I can do R1/R6, you can do it too.
@@PetroHead Iâm excited to get it. I love my 675R and hope Iâm not making a mistake. Closest KTM dealership is an hour & forty five minutes away, hopefully I wonât need them that much. Iâve had nothing but good luck with the three Triumphs, just miss that hooligan feeling, makes me feel younger than I am.
@@freebehindbars8654 Enjoy it! I've reviewed the 890 and also compared it to my Striple, go check those videos out.
I m 5.5 and i ride Yamaha r1 very well
Hey @PetroHead,
Quick question. Iâm a 5â6â rider on an R6 as well, and I realised that the foot pegs and stock rear sets are very low for me, and it gets hard to grip the tank while cornering because of how low my knee is compared to the tank.
Do you know any rear sets that are good for the R6 that will rise the pegs and the the gear lever too?
Almost all rear sets are adjustable.
This is good advice for short riders. However, i'd argue you need to go on to a lower seat height bike initially to grow confidence in riding. The issue isn't riding the bike, it's stopping, and pulling away when the ground is so far away
Donât focus on seat height. Focus on growing #bawls and just get out there.
Quit your crying. Go watch Dani Pedrosa rock MotoGP.. ok heâs not a midge but he only stands 5â1 and if he can do it, most anyone can.
In the end it's all about experience. Try low cc but high seat height bikes for a good practice toy
Good advice.
Iâm 183 cm would I be comfortably touching both grounds with my two feet?
What happen if i lower the bike by 30 inch? My insame is 28
im 5'5", 28 inseam and i want an aprilia rs660/ tuono V4 :(.
ah ok i love you man, so you never back the bike in anywhere? i found backing to be extremly difficult and im 5'8
Best advice I ever got for that: just get off the bike and push it backwards... donÂŽt give a sh** about "embarassement" or something... :)
I was the shortest guy in my crew, but I was the fastest on the track âșïž
Shortest mean how short
