    Hi guys, new rider here. Took the MSF class about a month ago and bought a Ninja 500r as my first bike. Went out for a ride and went to a empty parking lot. I actually almost layed the bike down because I was practicing accelerating and down shifting, when I down shifted my rear wheel locked because I let go of the clutch too fast. I noticed a slight wobble and then gently squeezed the clutch in and it corrected itself. So people, please practice proper clutch control!!! Anyway, just wanted to say wassup and for everyone to be safe!

    your rear wheel didn’t lock. It chattered. The only way to lock your rear wheel is to jam the rear brake. Anyhoo, welcome to the forums and keep at the plp.
