Throttle Control | EXPLAINED

Why is throttle control such an important riding skill? What actually happens to the motorcycle when we roll the throttle?

Lets talk about load transfer, anti-squat & the viscoelasticity of tires.

Enjoy

When I go I into a corner on track I just think "it's gotta be against the law to look this damn good" and then I roll on the trottle. Works every time!

A twist in the wrist vibes all over! Love it man

Casey Stoner was the best ever at acceleration. He was the earliest on the throttle and very aggressive. His throttle control was the best ever. Such a talent

this makes so much sense now.
when i started biking everyone told me to go trough corners with neutral trottle and i never felt what my fronttire was making, and now i see this . ty 👍🏻

According to me, the first mtrfkr on youtube who knows this and can teach it. Love your videos. Hade du bott i Sverige hade jag blivit din granne var du än skulle bosätta dig :)

Hey Mike thanks once again for a clear concise explanation. Please one day teach us viewers the proper techniques for a good start in a race

[MrRandoms]

Really appreciated the throttle/brake visual as I watched you ride the track... (would also totally have appreciated the bike audio layered in, even if on an almost subconscious level).
Tight work. Subscribed.

Your videos are incredibly informative!

Watched your channel for a long time, keeps getting better.

That shirt is awesome! Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

"Scratching my head" No, This makes so much sense. You just explained like 3 chapters of the Suspension Bible in 6 minutes.

Great video! I always enjoy watching and learning.

It is worth noting that increasing contact patch does not *directly* increase traction, as traction (friction) is a function of weight and the coefficient of friction of the tires. It does, however, increase the shear forces required to break the tire loose, so it's definitely still good to keep in mind.

Thank you for your video.
Please explain the use of types of twisting throttle in various conditions esepcially in streets.

When I first started riding my 2020 Ducati Supersport S before it's first service, I had to use the touring mode throttle to have a confident smooth roll on throttle, luckily after it's first service and update the sport mode is much smoother now so it's useable to be smooth. Moral of the story is use whatever mode (drive by wire bikes) that give you that smooth throttle response, it really makes a difference!

this is really useful for me as a daily rider

Great video. It should be more greatly emphasized that adding throttle and lean at the same time is a common source of crashes, especially the dreaded high-side. Traction control systems are getting better at handling too much of one input, but not two, so they are unlikely to save you from this type of error.

I'm also still learning to control my corner-exit line by modulating throttle, which changes the geometry and the turn arc radius. This often presents an opportunity to use a bit more throttle earlier rather than just steering out.

OMG..Thank you.. Thank you.. Thank you... This is something I really needed to learn...!! 🥰😍
