The Friction Zone point is so very important. When I had a smaller bike it wasn't that big a deal, but now that i have a bigger bike it makes a huge difference in stopping smoothly.

No doubt, total game changer. Makes the bike much more stable. I appreciate you watching and leaving your feedback!

I've been using both brakes to stop for 14 years...never had a problem.

Hi Joe. I would add that people need to make sure that their front wheel is straight when coming to a stop. Have the handlebars turned left or right is a sure-fire way to dump the bike.

Really great info. “Accelerating” giving more “throttle” seemed so weird to me but it’s the secret to smooth stops. Great video Joe.👍🏼

i like the skateboarding reference. I use skiing personally, but ya always gotta be looking ahead. When you're looking at your front tire, (or the tips of your skis), you're in trouble.

One more you should add and it's one that I think is the most important is to simply start braking sooner. Too many riders wait too long to start braking when coming to a stop. Don't try to deal with all that rolling weight at the last second. A long slow stop is always smooth.

@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures

7 ай бұрын

Valid point! In addition, if you start braking earlier, the car behind you has more warning. Great tip.

Thank you!

Repetition creates retention!

Good to know, now I can take the training wheels off of my V-Max.😊

I use the front and back, but use the front mainly as I am stopping and use both feet. Yes, I can keep the bike up with one foot, however, when I have myself and a passenger, I use both feet as I come to a stop. Been doing it that way for 30+ years

@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures

3 ай бұрын

I will put both feet down occasionally when I have my wife on the back, but I'll do it after I'm completely stopped. The main thing is that you need to make sure your bars are completely straight if you're using the front brake at slow speeds. If your bars are turned and hit that front brake, you will more than likely fall over. Appreciate you watching and leaving your feedback!

@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures I usually have my wife on the back with me - or my 21 year old daughter - If I'm alone - yeah, I"ll use my back break and one leg.

My friend on an emergency stop you apply both brakes and at the end slightly come off the rear brake to avoid rear wheel skid at the end. Try it and see the difference your newbie friend from Philly.

I've never heard that before, but it makes sense. I will definitely give it a try. You definitely want to avoid skidding. Thanks for watching and leaving your feedback!

@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures both MSF and Total Control teach this beyond basic class.. Also you should push weight back or straighten arms to prevent doing a stoppie. Look up Lee Parks Total Control or MotoJitsu probably has it in one of his videos he was a Total Control Instructor for all levels. Not in basic because they typically don't have the muscle control and coordination yet. Just like other things like trail braking. Slow speed maneuvers knee down etc.

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. I wasn't wobbling all over the place. At slow speeds, you're never going to be absolutely perfect.

Again, basic best practices 👍…I never teach “pulling the clutch” as it can imply engaging the arms and shoulders…I always teach “squeezing the clutch” as it keeps the movement at the fingers…ie smoother inputs

@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures
