Once again, practice paid off. On the way to work, same road as usual. It's dark at 6:00 am. On a short sharp left hander, I always have 2 fingers resting on front brake lever AND brake before the curve. Just then, the deer is walking on the road as I enter the blind corner...it ended up as a strong but controlled stop, just missing her hind quarters. It could have been very ugly in this scenario, not only hitting the deer but I would have been over the guard rail.

Very informative video - I’ve always been nervous of the rear brake and his explanation makes sense. Under braking, the rear tyre is losing traction so applying more rear braking power is likely to cause the rear wheel to lock up (I don’t have ABS) Its amazing how much stopping power the front brake has ; I got into trouble a few years back going too fast on an unfamiliar stretch of road. Before I knew it I was approaching a roundabout at silly speed - I somehow managed to progressively brake on the front to full power, thinking, am I going to make it here ! - I slowed to a reasonable pace and managed to negotiate that roundabout. I was lucky on three counts ; it was dry, I was braking in a straight line and the road was quiet. I learnt a lot that day ; stopping is much more difficult than accelerating and powerful progressive braking using the front brake is so effective. I don’t ride so fast anymore ; it’s so easy to screw up at high speed. Ride safe 👍

MotoJitsu, last night I watched a video on motorcycle clothing by a guy who said he would not ride with anyone who wore Bilt brand (Cycle Gear's brand) clothing because the gear is junk and he did not want to see the crash aftermath with Bilt motorcycle gear. He then went on to say that he has crashed 8 times so he knows what kind of gear one should be buying and only wears "the better motorcycle gear", although it was hot that day so he only wore regular Levis that day! I had to laugh at his ignorance. I recommended him practicing more, stop being a jerk on the road, go to some classes and to watch your channel since he obviously does not know how to ride or he would not crash so often. He only had a few years of "squid" riding under his belt and can "wheelie down any highway."

Hi Eddie, thanks again for this great demo about this very important, life saving topic. Just one question. Why is it so important to add less rear brake I mean less > less > less? Just because to avoid the rear wheel to turn around when ABS activates or to avoid the lockups without ABS? I don`t have integrated break system and when I stomp hard on my rear break it scares the shit out of me because first I feel am slowing down but than bang... the rear break just falls in and no breaking, I mean the ABS let the rear wheel to turn. So I learnt to use much more front break and less rear just because of this.* *and obviously I knew that front brake is more effective :)

I think I've been doing the exact same thing on my bicycle when I was young, I would apply rear brake first to avoid too much weight shifting to the front and gradually but quickly apply front brakes. I would brake so fast I felt safe riding fast. The only thing though is that I didn't release the rear brakes and the rear would slide a bit at the end of my braking. On a motorcycle, it's best to release the rear brakes to avoid unnecessary rear tire wear but also avoid dangerous skid and loss of control, correct?

@MotoJitsu

4 жыл бұрын

I never said apply the rear brake first. To stop quickly the technique is increasing pressure on the front brake and less and less pressure on the rear.

Great advice! You simply cannot stop a bike from speed quickly w rear brakes. But low speed stops (less then maybe 5 mph) it would be important to not be in a hard turn and squeeze that front brake hard. It will tip you over on heavy bikes. Low speed braking with handlebars straight is cool but when bars are turned use the rear brake to finalize stops. That mistake causes alot of tipovers!

@MotoJitsu

Thanks. You can use the front brake, even mid-turn with a lot of pressure, all depends on how you do it. If you grab, or stab the brake, it'll probably wash out the front tire and you'll crash but if you squeeze the brake and build pressure, it's quite ok.

At the beginning, you explain that we have to make sure that the fingers on the handle bar don’t prevent reaching 100% braking power. But how do you define that 100%? Is the lever supposed to completely stop moving at some point, before reaching the handle bar? I tend to use two fingers, but I suppose I could squeeze harder with 4...

What are your thoughts on leaving the rear brake alone altogether? The problem isn't so bad on my naked but on my cruiser my feet are forward and there is a big gap before my thighs can hug the tank. In a panic stop I find al lot of my weight is carried by my legs which naturally presses hard onto the rear brake (I have floorboards too, which exacerbates the issue). Both of the times I've had to panic stop so far have been on the cruiser and both times the rear locked up and skidded a little sideways. Luckily kept it rubber side down.

@MotoJitsu

Both brakes together with the correct technique will stop you the fastest. .....if you're skidding, it's not the right technique. More practice..don't rely on luck.

My problem as a beginner rider, I keep rolling my wrist ‘counter clockwise’ when I’m applying the front brake, so I keep accelerating instead of slowing down (I have a 69 Triumph with drum brakes). So to help me from doing this I rotated the brake lever clockwise about 30 degrees down on the handle bar. Now I’m not able to roll my wrist on the accelerator any longer, and I can squeeze the lever to brake properly. Once I get use to riding I’ll bring the lever back to the horizontal position.

should i squeeze clutch too? at the same time? thanks alot i learn a lot from you 😊

Excellent demo. Maybe too late now, I was going to suggest it after your most excellent trail braking tutorial, it would be clearer if you were to tape a pointer, such as a short pencil, and put a piece of white tape on your hand guard. It would make a good calibrated indicator of what the brake lever is doing. Anywho, thanks.

Both brakes will always stop the fastest vs just one. It does have braking power, but it's only for the first half or so of the stop if you're using the correct technique. Towards the end of the stop, I'm off the rear completely because there's hardly any weight on it to do anything.

Once you get a bike and practice you'll see...no, emergency braking is all about the front brake.

Sorry, I might have missed as your foot is not visible, but are you using the rear brakes at all ? You mention it about sqeeze front and release rear at the same time, I couldn't figure that as your foot was not visible. Another question I was wondering is the weight of the bike is obviously a variable in this equation, or is it not ? I guess the weight is proportional to braking power, so it might not be different for different bikes in emergency braking. One additional suggestion I have to beginner riders is.. if for some reason anyone is dead scared of disc lock (may be due to a past incident) a great way to feel the sqeeze is using a lower powered bike or probably a scooter.

Do you recommend starting the exercises in first gear? I'm doing a motorcycle safety course here in Canada, and my instructors want it done from second, and I was having so much trouble because I hadn't established the technique to do it from first in the first place and there was just too much to coordinate before I was having to start braking. I just didn't find it helpful, in fact the opposite of that. I was extremely discouraged. Like, wtf am I even doing?

practice in 2nd and stopping in 1st.

Please same a smiliar short video with Both front and rear ABS switched on. How do you handle brake lever pulsing in emergency braking. Can you explain? Thank you

No difference in technique with abs vs not abs.

@@sahil01s If it's pulsing...you would be skidding if it weren't for the technology...for abs, you only want the front to kick in with one pulse or click at the very end of the stop...the rear should never be pulsing with the correct technique.

Question, and am new at this so maybe someone has asked this before or it's a really dumb thing to ask but I gotta ask or I wouldn't know: why can't one use both front and rear brakes in an emergency? Why more front less rear when all u wanna do is STOP FAST?

When did I ever say to not use the rear brake? Use both BUT with the correct technique...the weight transfers to the front...suspension collapses then all the weight of you and the bike smash the front tire into the ground, which is why the front brake is so much more powerful....due to this, the rear end of the bike is getting lighter, so the technique for the rear brake is start with a little bit of pressure, then taper off...light to lighter...the goal is to stop really fast without skidding the tires...if you just keep pressing down on the rear brake while the weight is transferring to the front, it will skid almost immediately. I also have an entire playlist all about emergency braking that will help clarify...but go practice and see for yourself what works.

I have a question, when i am riding with 150km/h and i have to use emergency braking the speed of the count (10, 20, 30 ...) is the same like when i am riding at 40km/h or i have to count slower? Thank you for all your video!

So if you're about to brake and letting off the throttle, you won't jerk the bike correct?

Right...so abs should keep my rear tire from skidding?

It can...but if it's engaging, your technique isn't correct.

You shouldn’t train yourself through habit to rely on ABS. Not only can ABS fail, but with proper progressive braking technique you can stop quicker than ABS can do for you, simply because ABS works by relieving pressure on the brakes when it detects a lock up.
