How to: Recover from a False or Real Neutral

The last time I encountered a false neutral, I did not know how to recover from it, and the outcome wasn't fantastic. It gave me a broken elbow.

I hope with this video, you know what to do in the unfortunate event that you encounter a neutral, false or real alike.


The solution is so simple. Just clutch in and upshift. Or if you encounter it mid-corner, clutch in and coast to the exit. Clutching in is very important, because it will prevent the motorcycle from suddenly engaging into gear, and if it engages into a lower gear, expect massive torque from the rear pushing towards the front. Mid-corner, that would translate into a highside.

Ride safe.
