      Riding on a race track is the safest place to ride a motorcycle....that's not just my opinion...anyone can see that clearly when you look at all the variables on the street and how few variables at the track.

    I like that you do these low tech videos (one camera, no fancy editing techniques). It keeps your instruction grounded and gives the viewer a feeling that they're actually there with you. With that said, I would beg you to please arrange to have a better mic set-up. It's very difficult to hear you, even with my speakers turned all the way up. It's also frustrating to have to constantly adjust the volume as you get closer or further away from the camera. Love the vids and admire your dedication.

    this is epic! thank you man for putting this together. As a beginner for me the hardest is an evaluation part when there is no radius markings... when yo approaching cross-section on green and you turning sharp right (90 degree or even 180 degree) the questions is how far forward you should go before start leaning to make it through safely... considering there are no radius markings.

    Great video and your enthusiasm and excitement in your voice shows how much you care that riders get it right. Thanks for the training and caring.
    My biggest issue is the fear factor kicks in when the bike starts to lean to what I sense is too far. I understand the physics involved that the bike will not fall but I have a hard time totally trusting the bike. Ugh!!

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 6 lety +2

      Try using more of your body position so the bike is leaned a little as possible...you'll have more confidence knowing the bike is more upright. More lean = more risk...so minimize it lol...the more you practice you'll start to get a feel of what may be excessive or not...but unless you're scrapping hard parts, the bike CAN lean more...but that doesn't mean you have to of course. I've only scrapped my foot-pegs and had my engine guard scrap when I was practicing to see how far I could actually lean the bike...now I know.

    @audiogarden21 Před 6 lety +3

    Another thing to keep in mind and to always bring to the forefront of rider's minds, Eddie, is proper suspension setup which can drastically affect the way the bike turns in at various speeds, as you are well aware. I think more emphasis should be placed on proper setup than is currently expressed in the motorcycle community. You're really the only one that I've found that really spoke at length about it. Most stock setups are not going to be ideal for their owners, let's face it.
    I'm so passionate about suspension that I ordered both Total Control 2 and Race Tech's Motorcycle Suspension Bible, which I'm still waiting on but they'll be here soon enough. You may or may not have had a hand in that. =) I've also been addicted to learning about suspension. I even ordered a Slacker Digital Sag Scale so I can set mine up properly for my 5'11.5, 140lb relatively light but medium frame. My WR250R stock is a bit stiff for my weight so it's time to get that dialed in me thinks.

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 6 lety

      Yes, after you protect the bike, if anyone wants to UPGRADE anything, I always say suspension....at a minimum, set the sag for your weight and dial in the rebound damping...those books will drastically help out!

    Duuude that exact thing happened to me. I call it my, "he's beginning to believe" moment. Was going through an underpass U turn and it just kept going and I was lucky the lane was double wide cause I started getting closer and closer to the guard rail and it was probably only 2 seconds my brain went through, "oh god what can I do?? Use the break to slow down. No, I'll just go down for sure. Lean more! Turn the handle bars! I can't do it... Cause you're staring at the guard rail. Well I can't close my eyes! Look away then...look.... Through the turn!" My head pulled up, my eyes looked past turn, the matrix music started playing, somehow I started turning more and made it out the other end.

    Any tips on downshifting smoothly. That’s the one thing I have the most trouble with. No matter how much I try to do it smoothly when slowing down my engine always revs loudly. I ride alone and it’s still embarrassing. I even let the clutch out slowly and it still revs high. Tips? Or better yet a ride along video of downshifting before a turn or sharp curve

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 6 lety +4

      So do all your shifting before the corner ever starts, no in it....once you slow down enough and you downshift, there won't be much revving...you're probably downshifting way too soon.

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 6 lety +3

      You're approaching a corner...you start to roll off the throttle...use the brakes.....once you slow down a good amount, then down shift...you'll be less likely to have the bike really rev up....
      But if you down shift first, then start to brake...the bike will probably do what you're describing.

    So glad you are doing these videos, I have seen so many ride, who have NO CLUE on cornering, speeding through and not even sitting on the bike the right way, I am just holding my breath waiting to see if they slide out the darn bike...but it will happen! Hope they watch this!! If you watch race car drivers, they do the same thing, they hug the far side away from the turn so they go straight when AT the turn...thus no problem with the entry and exit of turns. I think they call it straightening the curve...:) For those new at this, check out a few videos showing a driver in the seat of a race car doing this at over 100 miles per hour...you have to get that curve to be less of a curve as much as possible. Anyway, great job buddy! Pay attention to his BODY POSITION here too!! I keep seeing so many who do NOT pay attention to how they sit on the bike....!! YIKES>...Keep it up, love what you are doing!!

This may sound a little weird but every time I take out my 650F I go to a less crowded area to practice cornering on quiet roads. Every time I take a corner I have you in my head and I literally say, BODY-HEAD-BIKE and I feel I am getting better at the cornering. I have literally looked everywhere and I can not find a single empty parking lot to practice. Either the parking lots get closed with security guarding the entrance or they have cement barriers as back up markers for people so there is no free space to practice. So I just slowly push myself beyond my last point and not over the limit. Thanks again for the video man, keep up the good work.

      I looked everywhere. All the schools have gated entrances. I still keep my eyes open in case there is some place I have missed. I really hope I can find a suitable place to SHUT UP AND PRACTICE!

I am trying so hard to get my super coordinated indestructible son to follow your videos.Hes a cool guy at 20 and a fireman but stubborn on just"living his life" Thanks again

      I would recommend both of you taking a course together, like the ones off my website motojitsu.com. My videos are just a pointer to formal training and some insight I've learned. You wear full gear, you take courses, and you spend a lot of time practicing, your example will inspire him. People will follow your footsteps more easily than your advice.

    Im a beginner rider and watching your vids as the msf course is 2 months out. I bought bike and practicing your techniques on my street. I feel comfortable but real nervous if i have to brake fast. There is so much going on with my hands ie clutch,throttle,blinkers etc that my first reaction is to use rear brakes. I saw your brake video and was helpful but thats what im kind of struggling with. Thanks for all your vids!

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 3 lety +1

      You'll do emergency braking practice in your course...just remember this and everything will be easier. The slower you move your hands, the slower the bike will respond. Easy rolling on and off the gas, easy squeezing the the front brake, easy releasing the clutch during the course.

    You must be really loving how to ride as your passion is so evident. When someone is so much in love with what they do they somehow learn how to teach so well. I have seen my fair share of videos showing me these but were difficult to understand but your videos are so simple and gives me lots of confidence to do it myself. God bless you & ride safe.

      @@MotoJitsu thank you so much, i've just spent a good hour watching a few and gonna get out there and get my confidence back asap, learn some new techniques and try a few. hoping i can start commuting now i have a better idea of cornering. learnt in a pretty straight place and i live in a plethora of hills, never realised there would be stuff on here that could be so beneficial. videos like these saves lives. the speed i crashed at (yep, right into the barrier) shouldve done alot more damage than it did. lucky lady here.

    As usual, a very professional and informative video. On my road over the lake many of the drivers are not aware of where the centerline should be in relation to their car. I have learned technique #2 for survival. On one blind corner I have to hug the rail at the beginning until I can see if anyone is in my lane coming toward me. You set a safety example on CZcams.

  • @matthewpierce9640

    Always giving great advice. Just took level 1 of Total Control last month, really learned a lot. Do you drop your psi when you get to the practice lot or ever have concerns leaning over painted parking spots?

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  Před 6 lety +2

      Awesome!! Great course!! I keep my tire pressure at 38/42 all the time unless I'm at the track. I know the limits and what I can and cannot do with my tires I have to be able to do this...newer riders, maybe drop 2 lbs if practicing...plus ensure the parking lot has great grip of course.

  • @calvin2681
    @calvin2681 Před 5 lety

    Dang, freaking the best video ever on cornering. I went wide 3 times to gravels on my first track day because I had not watched this amazing video.... I was damn lucky to survive all three times without a crash... with my beautiful Ducati 899. I should have gone down so many times on my first track day couple days ago.
    If I had watched this before the track day, man, I could have avoided all that stupid risk. Somehow, I had managed to come back in one piece, but my fellow riders and I need to watch more of his videos and learn to improve our riding. I will "shut up and practice!" :)

    @ryanferrer4339 Před 5 lety

    It’s funny what you were saying happened to me yesterday. I panicked in the middle of the curve because I saw gravel and sand on the pavement. I was afraid I will slide and next thing I know I’m going straight. Good thing there wasn’t a guard rail so I just ended up on the shoulder. I didn’t crash or anything but it was close so I went back searching for your tutorials on handling curves. I’ll be staying away from curves until this winter is over. Thanks for all you do.

    Your tip on pointing your chin in the direction you want to turn/corner has been really helpful. I find myself pointing my chin towards the yellow middle divider line on left turns and pointing my chin towards the right hand white line on right turns. When I mean turns I mean fairly sharp and/or gradual long turns (canyons). Not sure if that's recommended or not but it's been working for me so far

    Hey Fast Eddie, new motorcycle rider and hats off to you for being an amazing coach! Learned a ton watching your videos and “shutting up and practicing”.
    Question: Do you recommend gear shifting while in the corner? What if you’re in the wrong gear and need to get into a lower gear before rolling back on the throttle?

    • @MotoJitsu
