I just love the fact that he talks to us in a really clear way, almost like a homie helping you and not a teacher.

the best gear shifting video i have seen. oh god so many out there finally find the one video.

I’m a new rider and super nervous about gear shifting. I felt a bit rushed in the MSF course so I stayed in 1st gear the whole time 😂 but this made me feel 100xs better. Gonna go get some practice in today! Thanks!!

Out of 1, 000’s of video you made explaining this simple concept, easy. Really appreciate this man!

I’m glad you mentioned finding the friction zone by walking the bike and releasing the clutch until you feel it. That’s the way I’ve taught all of my friends how to ride, and it never fails. It also helps people that have no prior experience in manual cars understand that the friction zone is just that.. a zone. It’s not an on off switch.

I’m a new rider and I found this so helpful. My MFS course was basically just “pull in the clutch hit the lever” and didn’t go over how slowly the clutch needs to be let out so I kept jerking when switching. This is so helpful!

Thanks, MotoJitsu! I have been learning to ride in the parking lot and training for my MSF. I have watched over 10 hours+ videos in repeated, 3 hrs from your YouTube Channel.
I got to say, yours are the best; Easiest to understand and very detailed oriented.
Appreciate your knowledge and I hope to keep learning from the channel!

Cheers mate! Vroom vroom

Thanks for going so slow with this. Massive help for me because I was just jumping it every time and wasn't letting off the throttle. Was also kind of panicking when I had to slow down from a higher gear and go all the way down to 1st to stop. Getting better at not looking at my hands but still a process.

I appreciate how patient you present in this video. My instructors were stressing me out completely

Having my full bike course at the end of this month. Riding scooter for a year now, you taught me how to corner about 2 months ago. Before my number 8 was more like a 14, my u-turn was a 3-point turn like in a car.

thank you so much, man. I am learning how to ride a bike before I make a purchase, and your channel has helped me study the basics. you make it look easy. one tip I got from your other video was "practice, practice, practice. if you practice one thing for at least 10 minutes every day, you will perfect it." thank you.

Great video! I took my MSF a few days ago. Clutch control and shifting (bad footing) always gave me problems. In ways, I think the students and myself were sort of pushed to learn shifting, throttle, and clutch control quickly. Your video is very helpful, you take your time to explain the friction zone, working the shifter, and on top of that. I'm not worried about downshifting anymore. Thank you so much!


Happy riding!

Thank you so much for this. I haven't ridden a bike in years and finally starting to pick it back up. I have my course coming up towards the end of the month.

Your videos give me strength and courage to control the cluth and rode my new GSX-S750 from dealer back home this afternoon. Without any experience on manual bike before, I only rode PCX160 scooter for 7 months. Big THANK YOU master !

Im a 15 year old new rider and just bought my first MC, its a ktm duke 125 2016, and i love it. first time going i was clueless on how to drive and switch gear. I thought it would be easy at first just change gear then just drive and then change and drive faster but i was very wrong. This video helped me very much and i feel much more confident about how to drive now. Thanks dude! Your a legend!

[ivanmercado]

Thanks for the input. You’re right riding 2up, because when my wife is on the bike, she’s hitting my helmet, so I’m going to practice some more even though I’ve been riding for on and off about two years now. I want to become a better rider, so thank you for all that you do, you have a kind heart to people and are very concerned for other riders, that makes you awesome and great. 😎🏍️👍

[adrien_iller]

This slow and thorough explanation really helped me. All the repetition was great. Thank you!

[anettedouglasdotter]

As always- you teach us so much, Greg! ❤ Thank you so much- this makes plenty sense, and makes huge difference! 🙏

[rusty-ole-boomstick]

I like that you mentioned not to think about the technology. Feel and sound is how I was taught years ago on a dirt bike, your automatic manual transmission kicks in, the ears are the tachometer indicator of the rpm. It all comes naturally after a long time practicing daily.
Keep it on a swivel ✌🏻
