I'm a complete noob to motorcycles. I literally rode a motorcycle for my first time a couple of weeks ago and it was on my brand new 2008 FZ6. I talked a lot to my friends and watched a lot of videos before doing and I now have 200 miles on the bike between city roads and about 30 highway miles. I am gradually feeling more comfortable on the bike.
Anyway, I still have trouble on hills sometimes. I have been trying the technique of covering the rear brake with my right foot, letting the clutch out and giving it a little throttle until the engine catches, then lift my foot off the brake and once i get going bring my left leg up on the peg. Is this the technique I should be trying to perfect? I'm taking the MSF course next weekend so they will most likely teach me there.. I'm just interested now though.
