If you never rode a motorcycle, how difficult is to learn?

Question:
I wondered how difficult it might be to shift the gears, throttle, brake, and balance. It looks as if a great deal of concentration takes place here. I'm considering to learn, but do not know what type of machine I should learn on.

Answers:

Is gerbing heated clothing compatible with any motorcycle electrical system?

it isnt that hard to learn how to ride a cruiser, anyone can twist the wick and get a bike up to 60 mph. the gyroscoptic effect practically holds the bike up for u. the tricky part u might find is, in low speed situations that u'll find in parking lots and stop-n-go/heavy traffic. these situations call for a different technique that's easily mastered with just a little practice.

Which is the most powerful bike?


twisty roads on cruiser's isnt that difficult either. its if u decided to push the machine to its limits is where some skill comes into play...particularly with sport bikes.

Why do I get ticking sound in my bike after I stop the engine.?


i would highly recommend taking the msf course like other's have said. i would also recommend expanding on the msf course by ordering a vid or 2 from 'ride like a pro'. go to http://www.ridelikeapro.com and grab 1. they're worth the coin.

I will be a first time motorcycle owner! I'm buying a 2007Honda Gold Wing. Please give me tips on how to start

If you can ride a bicycle you can ride a motorcycle. It takes some practice getting used to shifting,but if you have excellent coordination you should learn quickly. If you are apprehensive as you sound by your own admission,then consider buying a used dirtbike to train yourself on first,they are set up (gearing) just like a motorcycle. Remember: asphalt hurts real real bad when your skin comes in contact with it at 35mph,on dirt or grass you walk away with scrapes and bruises most times.

Its just like riding a bicycle.Once you learn and get the hang of it it is a piece of cake.

No title!!?

If you can ride a bike you can learn the balance part, how ever learn on a smaller bike a 250cc or less itmay be easier. You have to learn to lean into your turns as you would with a bicycle, and you are not as visible as you would be in a car so be defensive. It can be very dangerous so proceede with caution. That being said it is one of the greatest modes of transportation.

What should the compression be for a 01 400ex bored 20 over its a 11.1 wiesco?

Learn how to drive a car with a manual transmission first. Once you learn how to shift, riding a motorcycle will be like riding a bike (kinda). If you have to teach yourself how to shift while learning how to ride the bike it will make it a bit more difficult.
Start off with an underpowered bike so you don't loop it and end up on your ***.

Do me a favor (I've been riding for 35 yrs) sign up for a rider safety class. If you live in the united states, you should be able to find one in your city or nearby. Some insurance companies will give you a break on the insurance if you successfully complete the course. Some states such as Ohio, will "give" you the license if you complete the course.

Idle Issue...?

It is not difficult but by all means go take a course because it is well worth the investment.

Whtz the cost for converting front drum brakes to disc? worth it?

You may be better off if you've never done it before - take an MSF course and start from scratch. That way you don't have to overcome any ingrained bad habits like us self-taught riders.

Is $2000 a good price for a 1981 yamaha virago?

I agree with some of the reviews here. Its very easy to learn! It really only took me about five minutes to really shift smoothly, then it took me another 3 minutes to really use the signals, horn, light and all that stuff. But like some one said, if you know how to drive a standard car then it should be very simple and fast. If you don't know how to drive stick car then you might want to take the class. I learned on my friends brand new Honda Spirt 750 and realized that I needed a little more power so I got my self a Kawasaki Vulcan 900. In this matter bigger is better but remember to respect your machine!

Motor Cycle Grips?

I disagree with the comment on starting on a small bike. It's great! I have more fun thrashing a small bike to within an inch of it's life, rather than the bigger bike that won't reach it's limit until you're in a hole in the ground!!

1974 suzuki 125 engine question?

it's not hard to learn but i suggest you go to a riding school and learn form professionals. you don't want to learn from your friends, as they will teach the wrong things to do and you will get caught playing road games (p.s-means possible death! or at the very least permanant disability!)
