I pass on some of the tips I have gotten from experienced riders and instructors. Make sure to have annotations on. The annotations were added based on input I got from other riders, mostly on www.advrider.com!

What are those hand guards? They look really sturdy.. And the mirrors come with those hand guards?

I have a buddy with less experience who is slightly taller than me but cannot function on a normal trail ride because once he drops his bike, he can't put the kickstand down to use the peg to get back on the bike how he usually does. He's too intimidated by being on the higher side of an embankment because the bike isn't on a stand and feels like once hes on then the bike will lean towards the low end and he will drop or pull a hamstring trying to get his big toe to reach the ground.
I'm 5'5'' and I literally jump on the bike while I let the clutch out so I can almost pull myself up on the bike with the forward momentum and big leap, however this isn't practical for most people. -
I am a taller rider with a tall bike. I use my right foot on the peg to apply the brake when stopped. Also helps with balance if bike doesn't want to roll around. I have some short riding buddies that will be sent this link. Maybe they will take my 650 out for a scoot ...

The trick to backing-up is to put your right hand under the tail and pull up while left paddling. The resulting compression on your body will allow the weight of the bike to drive your left foot into the ground, giving you increased friction and leverage.
-
If you're right handed, you're left foot-ed. That's why the controls are where they are...because people are mostly righties. +Wear ankle armor as you'll be dropping this thing on yourself often.

other advice: lower the suspensions a bit...

Maybe you're a Perp?? LOL!!

This was brilliant, thank you. I'm a 5'5 guy riding an r1150r. I have independently tested some of these concepts.

is this a real video?
put your leg over the bike?
i got an idea, start the bike and turn the throttle while standing next to it when the bike spins around jump on it in true wheelie style and crack the throttle wide open. if that does not work get a midget to get down on all 4's back up 4 or 5 steps and take a running start at it! :-)
He sounds like the mailman from cheers... -

What about when you are on those tight rocky trails and you need to kinda walk it a bit on the slower parts?
-
I'm 5'9' but do not know what my inseam is. Would I do fine on a Honda dual sport crf250L?

Do they not teach this in the US? It's part of the compulsory basic training for a bike license in the UK!
