bad idea….helmets save lives…DONT buy online…always try on first,they must fit PERFECTLY…or theres simply no point of having one…

please en lighten me

Friend of mine and I are in a big debate about this. He (being a motorbike rider) knows that a brake application (of the rear wheel only) can correct a nose high attitude in a jump. Me (being a helicopter pilot) suspects, then, that the opposite force, acceleration (of the rear wheel only) would RAISE the nose. He says, “hmmm…doubt it.” Anybody know?

What will happen if I had to accidently downshift from high gear into a lower gear?
This question applies only to vehicles with manual H-shift and manual sequential transmissions, as well as semi-automatic vehicles (e.g. Bugatti Veyron and some scooters).
NOTE: I watched Mordeth13’s video on YouTube, please check it out, just search for his channel, there’s video where he shows the viewer how to ride a motorbike and change gears. AS usual, the clutch is always used when starting up the bike. Just a safety precaution, you really wouldn’t want to start the bike without the clutch, otherwise the thing will just fly forward since it’s already engaged in gear and of course when starting a bike you got to give a little throttle to warm up the engine (and with the use of the choke lever). I ride my dad’s Suzuki GSX-R 600and I personally will NEVER change gears without the clutch, and I do not plan on doing so. But the guy Mordeth 13 clearly showed he upshifted without the clutch, but he ALWAYS downshifts using the clutch (he doesn’t know “why”, but it’s wahat he heard it can mess up the transmission). Also, he demonstrated what happens when you shift from a higher gear to a LOWER gear; the engine will attempt ot mtach the rpm of the wheel and it will immediately go to the redline. But as Mordeth demonstrated, it only locks up the rear-wheel. Don’t try this stunt, spare the wellbeing of your motorcycle – I know I do. And also it’s something I would not want to try, my bones are more important than being risked in skiing off the road. I’m just scared, heaven forbid it makes the transmission explode. Furthermore, the way I was taught by my dad: you must always use the clutch because it’s the mechanism used to change gears smoothly once the rpm of the engine matches that of the wheels. In other words, you ride the gear up ot its maximum design speed (just below the redline on your tachometer) and change to the next gear, thereby matching the rpm that starts for that gear. Notice what happens when you try changing gears, without the clutch and WHILE YOU GOT THE THROTTLE ON, the engine will immediately rev way up to the redline (during the gear change interval) and it will shut down or stall.
So with all this in mind, my questions are as followss:
1. What will happen if you were to downshift from high gear to a much lower gear?
2. Are there any safety mechanisms in place to prevent a redline as a result of having too much rpm for a specific gear?
3. Are there any negative effects of shfiting too early to a lower gear, so as to create engine braking?
4. What will actually happen if I had to accidently downshift from high gear into a lower gear? Say, as in downshifting from high-speed in Gear 6 right down to Gear 1.
Thanks!
Sorry for the long details, and I appreciate your answers…

I’ve always wanted a bike for the adrenaline rush/fun factor but I’m very concerned about safety. If I buy one, I would start on a 250cc bike, take the MSF beginner/expert courses, and purchase the safest available gear despite cost. I’m guessing that racing on a track would safer than, say, commuting with it daily so I would limit riding it at tracks only (and also getting to and from the track). Am I going about this the right way? Any other advice?

For the motorcycle safety course, they usually charge between $275 and $350, for a 15 hour course, that lasts one weekend (Friday night 5 hours, Saturday 7 hours, Sunday 3 hours). Assuming an average of $300, that’s $20 an hour, the first 5 of which is just in a classroom telling you where the clutch/brake/throttle is on the bike, watching safety movies, and what alcohol does to you when you ride!
The bikes are provided. But when you consider that each course has about 10-15 people, they make about $3000 to $4500 per class. And if they run this course only once a week from April through October, they probably make a good $90,000 to $135,000 for 7 months of work on just the weekends. That is more than enough to cover the cost of bikes, insurance, gas, room rentals, and instructor salary. Why does it cost so much?? Didn’t community colleges used to offer this course for like $50 once upon a time? It seems they are making a killing! Where are the cheap MSF courses?

I have been doing a lot of research to make sure I can afford a motorcycle and I have been very surprised with the cost of insurance. I wasn’t expecting it to be cheap, but really! Everything has been between $2000 and $3000 a year. I am a 19 year old female who has taken the safety course and I have no accidents in my history. Also, the Ninja 250 is such a low powered machine, I thought that made a difference. Is there an insurance company that is cheaper?

my friend thinks girls will think less of him for wearing it when hes on his motorbike at night, if you were out and saw a guy wearing one would you think less of him?

Whats the average lifespan of an engine on these bikes?

I’ve always wondered about how a motorcycle and rider would control and survive a tire blowout, cruising on the freeway at 65-75 MPH? Although it is probably an unusual situation, as most riders do a “flight check” prior to a long ride.
A blowout on a four wheel auto is one thing, but with only two tires, I don’t even want to think about it. A small leak which could cause the tire to go flat, unnoticed until a flat tire would be another situation of safety
If this has ever happened to any of you riders out there, can you give us the details on the road conditions, type and weight of bike you were riding and what damages occured to you and your bike. Thanks
