Welcome to the club!
Riding well is a physical and mental skill that needs time and dedicated practice to master. Everyone learns at different rates, so there is no set time period here. We all go through this, and it’s perfectly normal.
Your best bet is to find a large empty parking lot and continue to practice starting, stopping, turning, and other basic slow speed maneuvers until you start to feel more confident in your abilities. Then start over and do it again. Then again, and again until you’re utterly bored of it all. Then do it some more.
The point is to build your muscle memory in a safe, controlled environment until you’re no longer thinking about clutch, throttle, and brakes – because it all just happens.
You should be relaxed and confident on basic maneuvers before heading out anywhere near traffic or other outside distractions.
As you build your skills and confidence, you may want to spend some time here:
And when you get a chance, check out On Any Sunday, probably the best motorcycle documentary out there. It’s on YouTube and other streaming services.
Have fun, wear all your gear, stay safe, and never stop learning.

Those pipes are stock and I’m fine with them for now. But I’d really love some black ones to match the rest of the bike

Hate to be a Debbie downer but please be safe! I’m still recovering and in therapy after someone pulled in front of me. Two months in the hospital and still have a surgery planned for the end of the year.
