New Dirt Bike? Do These 3 Things FIRST!

Hey up YouTubers, Simon B here! If you're thinking about getting into green laning or off-road riding, there are a few simple things you should do before heading out onto the trails. In this video I share three key things that will make your off-road bike easier to ride and massively improve your confidence. Whether you've just bought your first dirt bike, an enduro bike, or you're not getting on with the bike you've already got, these simple adjustments can make a huge difference. We cover: Setting up your bike ergonomics correctly Adjusting gear lever, brake lever and controls Setting the rear suspension sag properly And the most important tip of all… actually getting out and riding! A lot of riders overlook these basics, but getting them right can completely transform how your bike feels on the trails.
