Learn to ride your motorcycle in a safe and controlled manner. The first rule is to respect the safety rules by wearing protective gear suitable for the type of motorcycle / route. A jet helmet is not exactly the best if you plan to go off-road in the trees.
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Learning with an Experienced Rider
Step 1. Find a friend who can ride a motorcycle
He will be able to teach you everything there is to know.
Part 2 of 4: Understanding the Bike
Step 1. Familiarize yourself with your motorcycle
Make sure you know where all the controls are and that you can reach them without looking at them. This is a very important thing, you cannot take your eyes off the road every time you change gears.
Part 3 of 4: Finding a Good Place to Practice
Step 1. Find an open space to practice
School parking lots are a good place once all the students are gone.
Step 2. Ask an experienced friend to ride the motorcycle to the parking lot
Step 3. Put on all the protective gear:
helmet, gloves, goggles, shoes that cover the ankles. Remember: "All protections, every time you drive".
Part 4 of 4: Learning to Drive
Step 1. Saddle up and start it up
Step 2. Practice feeling the "release point" of the clutch
- Squeeze the clutch lever and shift into first gear.
- Place your feet so that your heels are resting on the ground and the toes pointing upwards.
- Slowly release the clutch until the bike begins to move forward.
- When you find yourself with your feet flat on the ground, squeeze the clutch again. Return your feet to their previous position and repeat the exercise until you learn the right sensitivity with the clutch.
Step 3. Try to "walk" with the bike
Place your feet as described above and slowly let go of the clutch until the bike begins to move forward. Using only the clutch, it accompanies the movements of the motorcycle by walking from one side of the parking lot to the other. Repeat the exercise until you are able to maintain balance without resting your feet.
Step 4. When you master the exercise illustrated in the previous point, try to drive in a straight line
Slowly release the clutch and at the same time give some gas to gain speed. When the bike begins to move, place your feet on the footpegs and drive in a straight line. To stop, pull the clutch and apply gentle pressure to the front and rear brake. Place your left foot when you are about to stop and then, when the bike is stationary, also place your right foot.
Step 5. Try to turn left
- Remember to slow down, look around the corner and put pressure on the handlebars on the side of the direction you want to go. Slowly open the throttle as you make your way around the curve. The sequence is: slow down, watch, press, speed up.
- As you slow down, turn your head and see the end of the curve. The bike will follow your gaze. If you look straight, the bike will go straight.
-
Press the side of the bike corresponding to the direction you want to turn. If you want to turn left, press on the left handlebar. The bike will lean on this side, follow its movement and slowly release the throttle to increase the speed. When you are about to exit the corner, turn off the gas and the pressure and the bike will go straight.

Step 6. Obviously there is a lot more to learning how to ride a motorcycle, but these are definitely the basics
