How to Roll the Throttle | EXPLAINED

How do you roll the throttle on your motorcycle? Why should you not just twist your wrist? Why is it important to not grab the handlebars too hard?

Lets figure it out.

I just got my license. As I’m trying to learn more good things and I saw this. I think it’s really beneficial to me. I Have to learn more, thank you.

I used lot of your techniques on my ride full of hilly roads, nearly 70kms stretch of sharp corners. and mixed highway conditions. The total ride was 260kms / 165miles. And the route we took was one of the most difficult one. There was a complete hill climb and then downfall of 35kms stretch. But believe me by using your techniques of cornering, throttling. I didn’t faced any single issue. And my ride went smooth. There was not any post riding strain on my body my wrists, elbows and back was perfectly fine.

Thanks mate !

Doing this alone makes the biggest difference in your riding skill.
Mad respect .

Every tip/guide video should be like this direct to the point, clear, and not a waste of time. Subbed!

I watched an interview that suggested using your middle two fingers to cover the front brake, moving the pressure point farther toward the outside of the lever while also allowing for more precise throttle control. I don't ride a sport bike, but I thought this was an interesting idea.

Best tutorial so far!
Short and straight to the point.

Thanks Mike

Amazing watching other riders and realizing how much skill you put into your rides. Keep on keeping 2 wheeler broskis

[razvanpat]

I think riders starting on a powerful motorcycle should stick to the "wrong" way until they get used to the bike. Otherwise the bike jerks them back and because of the wrong hand position it pulls more throttle which jerks them back even more resulting in a wheelie and potentially some broken bones.

I’m a simple man, i smash that LIKE button before the video finished coz i know it’s useful to improvise my riding skill 🦾

[RUBBERNMETAL]

Wow. I’ve been riding bikes for a good amount of 7 years and this is quite new to me. Awesome! Thanks for the info.

I use the so called Dragger method while riding in busy streets/city's . Always ready for the front brake. Also this works really good on bumpy roads to keep your throttle consistent, and be smooth with trail braking. Ice cream cone method only in corners for me ( with serious lean angle's) otherwise It's not even nessecary. The squeezer method works perfectly for me if i want to open the throttle completely >> smooth but fast . Nice video as always! :)

[henryavery]

The dragger, that s my personal favorite. It comes natural and it allows you to be smooth and relaxed.

50cc cafe here. These tips are really god damn helpful even if I dont and cant go too deep into corners.

❤ from India. riding since 10 years. ice cream cone grip a recent revelation thanks to u. tried it for 3 months now. my opinion.

pros:
. ICC brings best out of my bike throttle. easy overtakes
. long rides are less pain
. in less to none traffic, best grip

cons:
. in heavy traffic. i change to normal grip.
. all fingers are on throttle rolling action. so they don’t jump to front break suddenly. mostly 1or 2 react.

I call it the "screwdriver". Just hold and twist the throttle like you would when using a screwdriver.

Been riding for about 5 years yet i still learned something. Thanks

One of the most important videos on YouTube

[Alistair]

the way I do it is by using a Ryde Thumb Rest, it's a piece of plastic that you clip onto the throttle and then you can just use your thumb. Probably not recommended for the track, but great for long road trips

[GranSNIPES]

Well explained! The dominant technique I use is dragger. I feel so relaxed doing that and is always ready to use the front brake.
