I remember in my MSF course we had an avoidance and panic brake section, a set of cones setup to represent a bus, and the instructor tell us to go left or right as we approached him then stop as quickly as possible right next to the bus. I loved this part, the instructor and I pushed this to the max (faster speeds and he waited until the last second to tell me which direction), was a blast!

I recently saved myself from a catastrophic crash at a night time long ride with emergency braking. I am an inexperienced rider and had never ridden on highway before that ride. With lockdown imposed suddenly, I had to make the ride with no experience, in wind and drizzle, and at night time - an absolute receipe for certain disaster. To be safe, I vowed I won't go faster than 35 km/h. But with incessant rain, gusty wind and diminishing visibility, I panicked and went beyond my avowed limit to 50. This was a lockdown ride, so there was almost zero traffic - so thought it was safe. But out of nowhere, this cart rickshaw appeared with no reflectors or anything whatsoever that could make it visible; I applied both my brakes - then slowly released my rear brake with progressively stronger application of front brake. I was saved by a good 1m distance. Thank God and Motojitsu. I admit I never practiced emergency braking as much as Motojitsu says and my incident was not the perfect execution of it either, but the mere right knowledge really saved me from hospital, which, btw is fucked up totally at the moment in India.

I’ve only been ridding for a few months, but I can’t even tell you how helpful your videos have been. I started watching yours, as well as a few other channels months before I actually purchased my first bike. All the knowledge that I absorbed from your videos put me way ahead of the curve. I’m a pretty quick learner as it is, but there was so much that I took away from your videos that immediately made me a better rider than I ever would have been if I hadn’t studied all the things you teach. This channel probably saved me a lot of pain, and from a few lessons learned the hard way. Even now I still watch your videos to refresh, and still learn a few new things as well. I think what your doing is awesome, and I’d say you’ve saved a lot of people from crashes, or accidents that could have been a lot worse had they not gleaned from your knowledge. You’re an excellent teacher, and break things down as good as anyone I’ve ever seen. Thanks for all your hard work! It doesn’t go unnoticed.

I was practicing in a carpark my emergency braking. I found that I need a lot more practice in getting the front brake engaged faster, it's just hard to bring myself to really pull it in hard as I'm nervous I will go over. Also I found even though my bike has ABS I still managed to skid the rear, it doesn't feel like it fully locks but you can hear a loud screech, I must be pushing suuper hard on it.

@MotoJitsu

Everyone needs more practice emergency braking...you will only "go over" if you grab the brakes and if you have a sport bike or standard bike...like anything else, technique is the most important thing. It means your pressing too hard on the rear...the technique is start off with a little rear brake, then taper off.

@DTMFJeff

5 жыл бұрын

Your rear tire is skidding even with ABS because ABS doesn't work well or at all under 20 MPH or so. Not enough wheel speed to analyze the data to control the brakes. When you practice in the carpark, focus on only using the front brake to get comfortable with it. The front now has so much weight on it from weight transfer, that makes it very difficult to skid as opposed to the rear wheel which is getting lighter due to the weight transferring forward also, this is why your front forks dive during heavy braking,,,weight transfer. A rear brake only rider WILL crash when you hit a corner too hot and use your rear brakes. The rear brakes will make your bike stand up in the corner, the exact opposite thing you want. That's why you really need to learn how to use your front brakes. When you are ready, learn the technique of "Trail Braking" into corners for safer entry / exit speeds. I'm sure Michael Keaton LOL has a video in the works for that if not already posted. 2018 CVO HD Street Glide.

I owned a 2016 super Duke GT and recently purchased a 2018 Super Duke 1290r. I have raced professionally both cars and bikes in the past. The motor on the super duke amazes me as by 3500 it has as much torque as most bikes make at much higher rpm and it makes ungodly horsepower below 9500 rpm with 104 ft pounds torque by 7000rpm. No other motor can do that. Plus, I love the electronics to back you up or at least gives you the feeling you can control the beast. I love how high the bikes sits in traffic where you can see over the top of SUVs. I have been riding for over 50 years and why would you not want cornering ABS/cornering TC. They can respond way faster than you can. Obviously, you must practice emergencies everyday as the bike can not do everything. Glad to see KTM leading the electronic revolution to their middle weight bikes. Also love all the LED stuff/TFT all the way to their beginner stuff. Bikes should have all the stuff cars have for safety. Great videos. I also wear a Helite air bag with full gear.

@@MotoJitsu What surprises me is two things. First: why do you explain all this? Nobody gets a driving license, if they can't show these basic skills. You will never ever pass the test. So your instructor will teach you, till you got it perfect. How on earth can bikers not know this?! Two: in Europe every new bike has ABS. By law. Many newer bikes have it. I haven't watched the total video yet, but I checked the comments and no... not a word on ABS. The correct way to brake is exactly the same. But in panic, ABS makes things so much much easier. No blocked wheels. Full power braking.Why don't you even mention it? In the first minutes I think, hey and ABS? And then WTF send those losers to Germany to get a proper driver license. Afraid to brake, that's impossible. Suicide on two wheels. So I hope you will explain this video. This is so NOT the European biking world. The basic lessons include this emergency braking. Later you can do advanced trainings. The racers can do the circuit training, allroad lovers buy a GS and polish their skills to Paris Dakar levels, there is enduro and motocross. And tour bikers can join clubs. Or chapters. If you don't ride enough and need to work on your skills, the simple way is going to a commercial traffic school. Ask advice. Take a couple of lessons. But a biker who screws up like the examples you gave? I really hope you just exagerate the bad habits.

Hardly anyone practices enough. Most people rarely practice this at all. Just because a bike has ABS that doesn't mean you disregard technique, that's stupid.

Swerving, emergency braking, low-speed turning, cornering, etc are all taught in the basic course, but so what...no one can master any of it in a couple days.

You remind me of one book I bought, that changed my way of riding my bike. Just touring, and my skills are not top notch, but I know my limits and practice some important things every ride. The book is Bernt Spiegels "The top half of the motorcycle" (mine is the German original). Spiegel is a racer, and a university prof in man machine interface, and psychology. He is also the man who invented the word niche in market psychology. The great thing of this book, is that all the aspects of riding bikes are explained very clear, with lots and lots of excersizes you should do. Theory and practise combined brilliantly. You have circuit experience, so most of this book you certainly know inside out. He has writen a book for racers too, by the way. Just because I like his style so much, my advice was to Google this Bernt Spiegel, you might enjoy his exersizes and way of teaching. Only thing is, Spiegel is born in 1926, so he's an oldtimer of 92 now. But his books on bikes are timeless. I promise, it's no waste of time...

great advice, when I did a track day the coach told us to never use the rear brake, they call it"the eject button" on hard braking there is nearly 0% braking power on the rear tire you will most likely start skidding making a bad situation worse. I have learned to only use the front brake at high speed unless you have ABS linked brakes, and only the rear brake at under 20 mph , using the front brake at low speeds can cause you to jack knife and drop the bike on it's side, it happened to me on my last long trip, almost drop my concours on a mac donalds drive through because i used the front brake the brake too hard while turning at low speed.

When confident people take a bike on track abs is usually disabled from what I understand

Awesome video MotoJitsu! Skidding the rear tire is scary. Thanks for the tips!

Fun stuff, man! I do a PBC at the beginning of pretty much every outing. Recalibrates me to that bike besides verifying the efficacy of the systems. I also like to PBC on gravel; that more easily illustrates the level of finesse required to stay on the edge of traction. Sometimes on the dirt bike I try to raise the rear wheel off the ground and ride it. I don't give it much time because it doesn't feel high utility. Appreciate the inspiring content!

I work on this all the time, the hard on the rear brake is the first thing your brain wants to do. I've stopped going thru rear brake pads so damn fast, make sure I get out once a week for e brake and parking lot practice. Thanks for the great content!

Dear Greg - thank you so much! 🙏 Your life saving videos, are just the best there is! ❤ I got all your books, and they are awesome - as your app too! ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ Having my exam for my license, 27 September- so, fingers crossed!!! 🤞 You are such a big part of this, you know! 😊

Brilliant and thanks. Found my practise car park (not so easy here in the UK). The owner is relaxed about me using it provided it’s not in his peak hours - lunchtime and evening as it’s a restaurant! I’m getting practise in a couple of times a week and it’s definitely paying dividends, practise, practise, practise AND it’s fun too.

Exactly!

It's so bad they don't teach this before you can take an exam here in Italy. I got my exam I could barely handle a moped. What you just explained about the progression in squeezing the front brake is something everybody should pritice before they even get on a public road for the first time! I had very few panic stops, on the worst one I already learned this technique and I managed to stop without even having the ABS kick in (on a heavy KTM1190, an a..h... just crossed at a junction from a side road without even looking). I would have pat myself on the shoulder if I was not crapping my pants :P Good riders should be able to avoid the situation where you need panic stops, but when it happens it's very good to know what to do without thinking too much. Stay safe, riders!

Yes, they should and practice weekly!! Life saving skill to master.

A good idea to stop without loosing balance is to use only the rear brake just before you stop completely. This prevent loosing balance which can happen when the front is diving, especially if you at the same time is in the middel of a turn

Great advice. One time I slid on my Honda Grom rear tire because the car in front of me decided to slam the brakes on a yellow light that we could have easily passed. Almost hit the car, but went in the lane divider. I definitely need more brake practice.

I'm a new rider, I know very very little when it comes to riding, I cant stop watching your videos thank you for putting this out there. I'm going to go practice on my lunch break.

will have look for that "Taking off quickly" (in emergency) video. There was one driver .... Great advice here. Shoutout to Robert Simmons over at the Paying It Forward channel

it's difficult to NOT grab the brakes if you're panicked and not trained...u might not be paying attention and catch something outta the corner of your eye and you grab those brakes for a second, etc... your braking exercises are an absolute must! thanks for another great video... even tho it's 4 years old :)

Thank you very much, I'm watching the videos every day and training, practicing and getting ready to be a good rider .I just realized that I was riding my entire life wrong .I have no proud to admit that I am a bad rider , I just realized that without the teachings and courses you are going to a failure and will hurt or your pocket, your body or even take your life. Thank you very much

I ride a bicycle as well as a scooter and most of your advice in this video translates to both. I often practice these same technics on my bicycle. I find a little rear braking keeps the bike going straight in line with the front wheel.

That's me, too much rear brake and no idea how to use the front brake to good, safe effect, so scared to use it! Your video explanation is clear and I get what you say about how to apply the front and rear brakes differently and the concept of perishable skills, which is something I'd not considered previously. Thank you

Excellent Sir. I appreciate your explanation of how important it is to have a balance of these skills vrs just twisting the throttle. I'll add something also. . The world is not flat. Motorcycles operate on more then one plane or axis. Anything you can do to help you maintain stability is key. Wether turning, accelerating, breaking or a combination. Applying inputs on the system should be done in Linear fashion. Lastly as your looking up (to maintain a high visual horizon and situational awareness) shift your weight ( back in this case) before applying the brakes. This helps immensely as the sudden breaking affect is overloading the front end and the weight transfer forward is reducing traction at the rear. More weight rearward is the key. Especially when your going down hill. This will help prevent the rear tire from losing traction and skidding and will actually help in the goal by adding even more effective breaking to the Mix. Another way to think about this, would you transfer your weight before applying your steering input? Then why would you apply the brakes before shifting your weight rearward or not at all?

Yes, we teach people to move their butt back and get their upper body lower to the tank before emergency braking, however that wasn't within the scope of this video. I made another video about how to stop fast and I also didn't mention it because these 3 mistakes are more important to master first, based on my experience.

Fantastic tips!!!! Tks so much!

To add: years ago I was taught "trail braking" was to literally keep your foot on the rear brake through corners and not to touch the front brake. Great to watch your Trail braking. And I understand the "perishable skill" set...ex Army, your instructional technique is awesome.

Can't bare to get through most you tube videos. That being said, excellent job, good explanation of how riding right ties in so importantly with braking right. I ride as often as possible always pushing the bike hard through different scenarios. You need to be prepared for anything the way people drive. Anyway well said.
