HOW TO STOP STALLING YOUR BIKE

Just so there’s no confusion, at 4:22 when I talk about leaving your feet down, I don’t mean drag your feet on the concrete. I have my feet a couple inches above the ground while I’m riding away. On top of helping keep you steady at the start, leaving your feet down will help if you end up stalling your bike so you’re ready to catch yourself and not drop your bike!

It's only at the lights for me. I get worried about the line of cars behind me and rush.

Thank you! Didn’t know that giving a little gas first before releasing the clutch helps. Now I know! Beginner here. Getting my Z400 deliver next week. 🙂

Thaaaanks bro! I keep stalling my bike quite often. I did try this method of giving little throttle, but when i did it revs quite a lot even though i give a very small amount of throttle, it makes noise and i get scared. Will try doing it again but gently. Thanks again

Yes, adding gass before you even start to let out the clutch made ALL THE DIFFERENCE in the world. Because at that point, you're kinda just letting out the clutch slowly without worrying about it really. as long as you don['t do it too quick it's gonna grab.

Just got my first bike today, was practicing in my neighborhood and stalled a bunch of times, still need to keep practicing I can now ride without stalling at all haha, but I still need to practice uphill, I’m not that bad at it, it just depends how steep it is

A lot of youtubers start out teaching how to move with the clutch only and NO throttle so I was surprised at my MSF course the instructor started having us give throttle first and then ease out the clutch. Works very well! Liked and subbed!

Since this was 3 years ago i know you wont see this, But holy sh thank you so much for this video. Real life saver

I havent been riding long and I always thought you had to let the bike catch and let it start moving before you apply throttle. I live in a place where there are hills everywhere so I stalled out hella times. I tried the way you taught today and it worked so much better.

Hey thanks bro. First time rider here. This video helps alot. Im on a 2001 cbr 929. And i had a nervous fear of stalling at lights or stop signs. Thanks again and safe riding everyone. Remember to have confidence in yourself to the rookie riders!!

Hah! I got my CBR650R last Saturday from the dealership, miles away from home. I was so anxious as I am really not yet ready to drive a clutched bike, more so driving with it on a highway. All I did was watching Youtube on how to drive a clutched bike and felt it. Cut thing short, I drove it home. Stalled only ONCE during a heavy traffic. And couldn't be any happier that first time in my life I drove a freaking 650CC sportsbike on a highway impromptu. One of the best, memorable experience I have. Now, I drove it everyday and haven't stalled again, not even once. And yes. I am doing what you demontrated here - a little bit of gas then slowly release clutch. Good stuff.

This is SO helpful! Ive been having so much prob with stalling...ive been releasing gear and then throttle. I never tried throttle and then releasing gear!

Thanks dude I stalled my shit alot lol I bought a Benelli I was always releasing the clutch them giving it gas

Thanks so much this was the information I needed, yeah I was releasing the clutch before adding throttle which was causing the bike to stall like you mentioned!

Great video and instructions from new rider in the U.K. just past my 1st test at 57 years old love this

Happened to me at a 4 way stop sign. I got frustrated after the second stall because I’m not a beginner, just been a long time. So I started flint stoning & dropped the clutch just to get away from the embarrassment.

Brand new 2O23 BMW 310 GS. First time out of the garage which is down from a sloped driveway. So going up hill. Tipped over and broke my new hand guard. Been gun shy ever since. Wished I had seen your video first. Think I will practice your techniques 10 times in a row leaving my garage to make it stick. Good work on a good video. Thanks

Thank you. It’s small tips like this that greatly help new riders like myself. I’m going to practice this technique asap. Ride safe ✌️ (new subscriber btw)

This helped me a lot! Little throttle then smooth the clutch, I was doing the complete opposite which kept stalling the bike as the friction with the clutch lowers RPMs

to do it properly, keep your clutch in, open your throttle a little, (you will hear your engine perk up a little.. hold your engine revs there). Slowly let your clutch lever out, (DO NOT let the lever out fast or release it completely). Keep your throttle where it is and you should get a slow steady acceleration. Do this in parking lots until you get a good feel for it. Afterwards you can begin teasing the clutch and gas when you're more comfortable.
