    I like the rear brake on a hill. Only in a rare occasion when I need to have the right foot down for whatever reason I would use the front break

    Both, Both, Rear , Rear, i use the Rear i try to always stop 3 point 2 tires and the left leg down, in case i need to escape, but if it's super windy or the road has a funky pitch i might once stopped use the front brake. Front, not only grab the brake but turn bars to the right, Front for trail braking, and practice practice practice

    It is comforting to know that I have been doing it right for the last 57 years of riding motorcycles. It is always good to watch videos like Kevin puts out, it reminds us to not get lazy, sloppy, or complacent when we have been riding a long time. Only a fool thinks he doesn't need to keep his skills fresh.

    With the electric shift assistant on my bike, I find it smooths the downshifts in the lower gears considerably to lightly drag the rear brake. So when I'm trail braking it's usually rear brake first, then both. Not a hard quiz for anyone who's been watching your videos for a while. Thanks, Kevin!

    Missed 1 just passed my MSF course last weekend and got my license on Wednesday. Had to drive from DFW to Wichita Falls or would have had to wait for an appointment, which was 2 to 3 months out. Now I can practice all the skills. I learned at the MSF course. They helped me get rid of some bad habits that as a new writer I had already learned had a great MSF instructor! I just realized in this video that you are in DFW! Thank you for the tips. I’ve been watching motorcycle and dirtbike videos for the last year, but nothing compares to on hands practice and correction from people that know their stuff! Thank you for the tips!

    @karlbishop7481 Год назад +1

    Braking on a hill stopped I use the rear facing uphill and the front facing downhill. Downhill it is easier to balance with both feet on the ground and then just allow the bike to roll away when getting underway. Uphill easier to get better throttle control without having to manipulate the brake lever at the same time. I got a near miss on the trail braking question. I use the front brake going in but I will sometimes add a little rear just as I am transitioning to throttle and easing off the front at the apex. Not much rear though, just a tickle.

  • @shepherdwarrior777

  • @JackF99
    @JackF99 Год назад +1

    Years ago in road racing school we are taught to rely mostly on the front brake during hard braking because the last thing you want to do is have your rear wheel stop spinning and you lose the gyroscopic stabilization effect and that's when you get your rear end coming around on you.

    Always good to revisit the basics. I love the explanations that include the "why" to do so in various situations. If you don't understand "why" which technique is proper in each situation, then you are more likely to use the wrong technique when it will actually matter -- and there are plenty of crash videos on RUclips where the wrong technique was used in the different scenarios.

    When mounting I start with the left (rear brake lever) on my Yamaha XMAX scooter.
    Once on, squeeze both make sure they feel good (I did a brake fluid visual before getting on with the sight glasses). Always warming up the tires edges as I head out. Before I leave work with the empty parking lot I take advantage to do some figure eights and tight circles and some brake runs with emergency stops. Trailbreaking on the slow speed drills of course. Happy to see you here! Safe riding...

    Great video! One of the most important techniques for riding safely a motorcycle. In a motorcycle course I also learned that if you use First the rear brake, the bike “get’s larger and more stable” ; if you first use the front brake the bike “shorten’s and is less stable”

    Kevin,
    I took this quiz 8 mo.s ago. I've put on quite a few more miles and aced it because I actually have started using better braking techniques. Except last month after I hadn't been riding a couple weeks. I had to stop quickly and started to use my rear brake and the tire locked up. I quickly remembered my trail riding skills and straightened the bike up and used the front brake. Thank You!

    Got them all. I wear out my brake pads almost equally. Strange accident I saw once. I heard a long screeching brake sound from a Harley in the lane to my right. I turned and saw him sliding his rear tire, totally out of control, his rear tire slid back and forth, his rear tire actually smoking before he low sided it. The bike dumped him off on the pavement, he rolled over a dozen times before coming to a stop. His Harley had other thoughts, righted itself, and headed down the street directly at my buddy who was riding behind me. Missing my friend by only a few inches, it continued another hundred feet or so and finally fell over. No damage to the bike, the rider had scrapes and bruises. Obviously he needed to be watching your videos. I've been riding big bikes continuously since 1967, currently at 77 years old I am a Traffic Control Motor Officer on a Harley FLHTP Police bike

  • @floydwilcox2640
    @floydwilcox2640 Год назад +1

    100% right, the only thing I would add is on my sport bike when I practice emergency breaking I use the front brake only because I’m transferring so much weight off the rear that it has a tendency to lock up.
    No need to add a skid to the mix.

    • @beepbop6697
      @beepbop6697 Год назад

      Try practicing emergency braking by starting with both front/rear, then transiting to front only brake as the front suspension gets loaded (increasing front brake pressure while simultaneously reducing rear brake pressure). I suspect you'll further reduce your total stopping distance.

    • @Mike-cx2xs
      @Mike-cx2xs Год назад

      I totally agree with you. The slow, look press and roll, works for my style. I believe Kevin has said in the past that trail braking is an optional style, it has benefits, and obvious risks. I'd rather slow down than maximize the apex, not in a hurry, I just like to ride on 2 wheels.

I would be terribly embarrassed to say I missed one of your breaking questions, so I won’t.
