Do you enjoy driving at high speed, into the wind, feeling the vibration of the bike under you and breaking free from the grip of fear? Before you start riding a motocross bike, you need to learn some fundamental concepts.

Steps

  1. 1 Cross motorcycles have two types of engines: 2-stroke and 4-stroke. In a 2-stroke engine, the cycle consists of two cycles. The first stroke is the passage and compression of the fuel-air mixture, the second is the ignition of the fuel, the execution of work and the cleaning of the cylinder. Purification refers to the removal of exhaust gases from the cylinder. 2-stroke engines require a mixture of oil and gasoline and are noisier and more powerful. In a 4-stroke engine, the cycle consists of 4 strokes. The first stroke is the suction of the fuel-air mixture, the second is its compression, the third is the ignition and execution of work, the fourth is the cleaning of the cylinder. Unlike 2-stroke engines, 4-stroke engines have two tanks: one for gasoline and one for oil. 4-stroke engines are quieter and less powerful. For beginners, a 125cc 4-stroke motorcycle is recommended. cm. or with a 2-stroke 50 cc engine. cm.
  2. 2 How to start a motorcycle. Before driving, find out where the clutch, throttle, gear shifting, rear brake, front brake, and throttle are located.
    • You should be sitting on the motorcycle closer to the front. Make sure neutral is engaged before starting. Neutral below 2 and just above 1. Hold the gear shift and lightly shift it to neutral. Rock the motorcycle back and forth. If it moves smoothly in both directions, then you are in neutral.
    • When the motorcycle is in neutral, you can start it with a kick-start. Using a kick starter may seem daunting to a beginner, but it is actually very simple. Just place your foot on the starter, bounce slightly and push down hard.
    • After starting the engine, hold the clutch and shift into first gear. You will know that you have changed gears because the motorcycle jerks forward. Do not release the clutch when you are not moving, otherwise the motorcycle will stall.
  3. 3 Be careful when starting to drive. After shifting into first gear, gradually release the clutches while adding throttle. When you start driving, release the clutch completely. Don't worry if you stall several times.Sooner or later, you will understand how much gas you need and how quickly to release the clutch.
  4. 4 Shift from first gear to second. When the bike is not moving any faster and you can hear the engine revving at its highest, let off on the gas a bit, pull in the clutch, and kick the shifter up into second. After shifting, release the clutch and add throttle (you don't need to do this as slowly as when starting). Also, shift up to higher gears.
  5. 5 When downshifting, proceed in the same way as when upshifting. Apply the throttle, engage the clutch and shift the gear. Never accelerate while changing gears: this could damage the transmission. Sometimes the motorcycle will switch to neutral instead of first. You will understand this when the motorcycle starts to slow down, roll on inertia, and will not react to the increase in throttle. If this happens, just shift into first gear.
  6. 6 Learn to slow down and stop.
    • If you want to slow down your motocross bike, downshift, release the throttle, and brake using the front, rear, or both brakes.
    • When you slow down to almost a full stop, switch to the first, engage the clutch and bring the motorcycle to a stop. Thus, it will not stall. When you're ready to move off the ground, slowly release the clutch while adding throttle.
  7. 7 How to get around corners. When turning, bend over, choose a trajectory, bring your whole over to the outer pin. In order not to lose control, follow the intended trajectory. Press down on the outer pin: this will give you more traction. As you go around a turn, your outer elbow should tilt upward and your inner leg should tilt to the side. Press your inner leg against the wing. If you lose control, you can stabilize your position by substituting your leg.
  8. 8 Practice on uneven terrain. Cross-country bikes are designed for rough terrain. Depending on where you drive, you should be standing 95% of the time. When you ride over bumps and bumps, your legs and arms act as additional shock absorbers.
