(Solved) How to Properly Brake?

[naf456]

Hey, Just wondering how you guys and girls brake on your motorcycles.

I was talking to a friend and he was talking about something called engine braking?

he said to lay off the throttle , apply brakes , then declutch?
apparently the engine has the best braking power or something...

I thought that would wreak the engine? it's still applying power to the wheels while your braking?

I brake by declutching first , then rolling off the throttle , then hit the brakes - in a real quick motion...

Talking to my parents who drive cars , they apply there brakes before they declutch just like my friend

Wouldn't the car/bike stall if you just release the throttle?
I'm pretty sure my bike does.

Anyway , whats the proper way? I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong...

2 ways

1) front brake hard to lift the rear end. Roll along with rear end in the air until stopping point reached. Drop rear end back down. Nod to car full of chicks yu just stopped by.

2) Crank the rear brake on to lock the rear wheel. Place leg foot on floor and rotate bike 90 degrees around foot, still with locked rear wheel. Nod at various chicks getting wet for you.

I tend to try to minimise using my brakes by reading the road ahead which, in doing so, means I roll off the throttle to slow myself down (using engine braking) then brakes.

Declutching as you put it is also known as coasting when you're riding along and not in gear (the only reason I'm pointing that out is that you may have heard that term instead). So in my case, roll off the throttle > brakes > declutch > stop dead.

Yep - I'm for real - no one tells you this.

What happens when people come from scooters to manuals? no one tells them how to brake when you have a clutch?

And I LOVE my bike.
Please tell me so I don't brake myself....
or worse - I brake my bike

Your bike will not stall until it reaches a point where the force require to propel the bike is greater than the force being produced by the engine.

This usually occurs at very low speeds with very low RPM. Likewise more force is required to move a standstill motorbike than one that's in motion.

What you're doing is coasting. You clutch in and start coasting when you reach a point where you're slowing down and slowing down any more will stall the bike.

Yank the front brake on hard, then you won't have to worry about stalling

You will need to get some proper oil before you can do it.

On MOD1 if you don't use engine braking you're likely to get a minor for not stopping soon enough - or have to do it again, panic and lock a wheel.

In the past i've found using the foot operated pedal, and hand operated lever on the right side of the motorcycle..
