Couple of points, don't change down too many gears at once or engine braking could lock the rear wheel and secondly if it all gets too much, pull the clutch in and hold it in. A lot of newby accidents are caused when the clutch is let out and the throttle wound too far open. Get used to pulling the clutch in then it doesn't matter what the throttles doing. I've been riding for 30 years and it gets very easy. Until you get grey and have kids and then it gets difficult

Been riding for thirteen years now.... Still fun to watch such videos

Been riding for 10 years but watched this out of boredom.

A good way of explaining the clutch/throttle combo to beginners when changing UP gears is to imagine wringing out a towel one way then back again (albeit quickly).

You might want to follow up this vid with one on downshifts & rev-matching - a lot trickier for the novice 😬

The video would have benefitted from demonstrating more clearly what to do when needing to stop, i.e. how to approach going from riding when in a higher gear back down to neutral. Some viewers will be wondering if they should be changing down gears in rapid succession, for example.

Only need to pull clutch to past the bite point (fiction point) to change gears, not all the way to handle bars. Makes the gear change quicker and smoother, just takes a little feel for the bike and bit of practice to get used to doing this way.

Got my CBT tommorow morning I needed this refresher. Thanks great vid. Quick hand shandy and off sleep now

Great video. I have no experience on a bike but plan to do my CBT in the next month. The shifting gears part always confused me especially because I always thought that you have to let off on the clutch slowly when changing into higher gears too. But seeing how quick you let off on the clutch when going into 3/4/5th gears without stalling helped the confusion

This is so much easier than it used to be! First of all you had to work out where the gear change was...on the right, on the left, on the handlebar, next to the tank or sometimes you had to use the kick starter to shift gear. Then you had to work out where neutral was either at the top or the bottom of the pattern or in the usual place. Then you had to decide whether the gears went up or down and could be any number of speeds up to at least seven! 🙂

Thank you! Whole day I've tryed to find out how to change gear in my native language, but every tip was about "just grab the clutch and change gear" tier answers. I didn't understand that first gear is down and rest from there are up.
