I overcame my fear of riding a motorcycle because of you man . Your videos are amazing .

Great tutorial! Broke in my new Bridgestone S22’s today using this method. Good training and a sweet way to set the new tires. Highly recommended ✌️

[Wouter]

This method actually worked for my R6. Hard part was finding an empty parking lot. Thanks for this method from a parking lot in The Netherlands! 🤘🏻Will definitely be keep doing this to get my slow skills up.

This is a great practice for new tires. If you can't get all the way to the edge don't sweat it.
I cant get to the very edge of the tire on my cbr with Michelin road 6's. I've leaned dam near flat and still have an inch of "un used" tire.
Like he mentioned, you will never have to lean that far on a public road unless you have a death wish.
Perfectly acceptable to have "chicken strips"

Due to the various profiles, I also recommend you always keep the same brand on the front and rear. Additionally, I always replace both at the same time vs one over another, unless I get a nail in the tire or something like that.

Haven't ridden in 11 years and pick up my new bike in a few days, these videos have been brilliant to get my head back in the game and approach it safely. Very helpful on getting out there with confidence knowing many thing's have changed since my last riding experiences i.e. technology, my age and my attitude. The new bike has a six axis IMU which is amazing from where I left off. Thank's for the education, I have learnt so much and will continue to do so :)

It's the injection molding when they come out of a mold the tyres are slick and smooth from this process. Very new and shiny. Keep up the good vids.

You're all about safety and leaving your ego out of riding! YouTube would have a lot less videos, lol....but the roads would be safer. Thank you! Btw, I really like the modulating headlights, really effective. After seeing yours, I decided to buy a unit as well...incredibly effective!
Was yours after market or did it come with the bike?
Maybe you can do a video on bike safety mods for the public?

Eddie, Man just ran into your video series and they are the bomb. Learning much. Getting back on a Harley Street Glide after being off bikes for a few years and your series is EXACTLY what I'm needning. Thanks

Eddie, I am so glad I have been watching your videos for the last six months and actually practicing a lot of the techniques you teach. Today it really paid off me today because I did something I had been looking forward to doing for a long time riding with the local BMW motorcycle club through the mountains in the Philippines. They all had BMW 1200GS and I was the only one on a S1000RR. They all knew I was a virgin driving through the mountains here and thought they would take it easy on me at first until they realized I knew what I was doing setting up my apexes and downshifting instead of breaking. As far as body position I let my head guide me as you said to practice and kept me knees on the tank instead of the “Isle of Man TT” body position so many use to wear themselves out. It was a lot of fun and practice really helps to give you the confidence to do better riding skills. Thanks Eddie I wish they had courses here like yours.

Thats also my way to break in new tires. Just a half day on the parking lot and you are good to go.
One of my co-workers told me - he take some sandpaper to rub of that slippery tire-slime or what ever it is called. But I think thats not the porpose to do that. I mean - go and ride that slippery thing of - literally.

Well. Great video. :)
Lovely greetings from austria.

As a new rider who just went through the stock tires on my 2020 cb500x it's time to put new tires on. I've heard about scrubbing/ breaking in new tires. I learned something new from this video. Thank you.

[RideFaster]

I just do the tire warm up sequence up and down my street a few times and it's perfect. And always a nice burn out right when they are installed.

[Davy-lfcj]

I've been waiting many years to try correct/challenge you at something! Still hasn't happened I agree with everything you say in your videos, another good video excellent

[manindernz]

Most informative and most underrated motorcycle channel!! Havnt ride on road after seeing your vids.. 3times a week i hit to parking lot and wait for it... practice practice practice!

[gwads]

Thanks for posting...wish I had seen this before I went out on new shop-installed nitrogen-filled Anakee Adventures on my R1250GS. Took a roundabout, not really aggressively, and the bike came out from under me. Slid about 20 feet, but thankfully I was dressed for the slide. Will try this method to break in the tires.

[brianbarnes]

I'm definitely going to give your lessons a go as they are very good and your videos are really informative. All I need to do now is find a car park that is empty in the UK ... unfortunately that is the real difficult part here 😞

Thanks. Picking up my new bike next week. I wondered about breaking in the tyres. I will go to the fair ground and carry out the slow speed maneuvers in your video. It’s a Honda 500cc. Sold my Honda 125cc now I have my A2 license. Had a lot of fun on that bike. Even did a 2400km tour through Spain. So now the next step up. I appreciate your advice.

Continental Road Attack 3 (awesome ST tire, they stick like glue) comes pre-broken-in from the factory.

Sir; The coating that's on the tires is actually a soap that dries a blue tint. Designed to help with the tire mounting.Another help is twofold. 1 and foremost, right tire pressure... 2nd, wash them with a power sprayer and a stiff brush, and clean off the excess soap. Then do what you do and lean it as far as you safely can counter balancing with your weight... Great valuable information here as in all your well thought out videos that you post!
