these shorts are phenomenal. straight to the point.

Listen to Android 17, he knows what he's talking about!

Great info man. One thing I like to say about the brakes on a bike is "brakes can stop a huge load, but they cant stop an abrupt load" apply the brakes gently at first.

I’ve had one crash in my riding career and best believe I locked up that front brake. This video is facts

Second month of riding, I find engine braking and rear brake work best for me

I like to get back on the front brake in the last foot of a stop - that definite stop with a small dive just feels nice.

To really learn how to stop, I took the rear brake peddle off for a month. (This was in 84 when I realized I needed to really use the front brake, which is 70ish % of braking power) It was a little unnerving at first. But at the end of the month I was totally comfortable. I used a Metzler me33 Lazer front tire which 'howled' when it was dragging slightly under high braking force. You could feel this dragging force also. It let me know I was at maximum braking force just before tire lockup. The rear brake dose help.....but the front brake is what saves your life. I rarely ride now, but I noticed I mostly don't even use the rear brake on my 740 pound bike. If you don't have anti lock brakes, you better learn how to use that front brake!

Finally someone straight to the point not bullshiting and beating my ear in for 20 min

Bike looks nice and oem clean..respect

Only use the front brake very carefully when moving slow. I personaly only use the back brake. Using the front when your handlebars are turned is a good way of layong down your bike if you accidentally pull to hard.

I usually let go of the foot brake and then use the front brake, I am used to ride racing bycicles and if you go full front brake you flip over, a useful skill I learned :3

Man love your videos I am a Harley guy but I still take your advice to heart and my writing has improved

On Sportbikes it can over 95% of total braking power at the front

Thank you for explaining real breaking! I have seen so many videos on YT about breaking and all of them said that the rear break wasn't important.

I use back brake then slowly squeeze front brake after downshifting.

I love this guy's videos

the only time ive crashed is because of the front brake because i didnt know the rear brake was that important since it brake lightly while the front brake stop quicker and because i thought the rear brake can be replaced by the front brake so i grab the front brake too hard because of the sudden red traffic light and boom

My first few times out I grabbed the front brake mistaking it for the clutch. I didn’t go down but it was a wake up lesson on getting the two correct

during practice i pressed the front brake too hard and fell. Didnt hurt but im scared of doing emergency brakes now

When going fast, engine braking is your friend too. Don't wanna end up sliding 30 feet on the highway at 50mph because you slammed on both brakes.

love those 3rd gens in the back

we need to stop telling new riders to be afraid of the front break honestly. it is the best and most important way to stop a motorcycle. new riders should be riding a bike with ABS.

So do I need to pull the clutch in also or???

Progressive braking for the front and don't touch it in corners unless you REALLY know what you're doing.

Down shift? I thought to use engine brakes you should shift up

What seems obvious to us older riders isn't always to everyone else. Good job man!

here's an even better tip when coming to a stop. tilt your head slightly to the left (and always left).

Sorry buddy I use my front brake with rear but use my front all the way to stop. I have more control that way. Been doing this for 50 years not changing now. Just make sure handlebars are straight.

I have a dual sport and a grassy feild so i just drive around bumping each break to see how it reacts to slipping and stuff. Its fun and ive already gotten much better

Nobody seems to talk about 'setting up the brakes' that is applying enough pressure to the front brakes, so that the front exhaust dips and stays down. I do this in 'yellow' or 'red' situations, so I can then apply more pressure and with less time.

Love ur video man

I just want to know one thing. Is there any difference between pressing front break+rear brake+clutch at the same time vs front brake+rear break?

Excellent ty. Never learned so much so fast 😆

I'm more impressed by your hair. How do you get it on the helmet?

If you have abs, try getting on your brakes enough to activate it and get a feel for it or it'll scare the absolute hell out of you at a bad time.

Been using the front brake for city streets for 4 years, never had any issues. Just can’t use it while in a turn, or high speeds. I only use it for 45mph and under and on straight always. Had one crash from my rear tire locking up when I tried practicing using both brakes in a parking garage, don’t do wut I do, I just found wut works for me. This isn’t advice for new riders wut so ever

And some of yall clutch in too early use the engine as brake aswell

Amount of fingers used doesn't depict the speed of pressure applied. You should actually use 4 fingers and apply pressure in a controlled manner.

Great work I'd probably go 90% front 10% rear and squeeze that orange on the front brake

this is actually very similar to a bicycle

This is so much better than the videos of you taping the throttle.

Thankyou sister ❤

Great tips my Guy!

Until you sit on an old bike from laverda then you have the brake pedal on the left side 😅😂

This is true for sport bikes its harder to hold up a cruiser with one leg

I always do engine breaking when coming to a stop but people on my motorcycle group said not to? I just feel like it’s more natural to let the bike slow down on its own before applying a lot of breaks but idk

You want to use 4 fingers and if your good, both feet should go down at once.

pro tip: in traffic use your right hand to accelerate and use your right foot to brake.

thank you :D

So you you apply both brakes simultaneously or rear brake first?

Who is also watching after falling 🤣🤣🤣 tomorrow we go harder

It’s funny you used that guys clip bc I just watched his video before clicking on your short.

So in case of stopping at a light kinda hard I could use the breaks instead of downshifting?

Sounds like Badger from BB lent you his vice for this video.

Beautiful bike

The first thing my dad told me when I got a motorcycle was go out and practice emergency braking 😃 🛑 🏍

He’s not lying front brake is most dangerous. Car lurched out not even entirely in my way. But inexperienced I ripped the front brake and the bike slide out from underneath me. Bike was fine I was fine but damn did I feel dumb.

lol as an aviator I enjoyed that were not landing an airplane.

Great job.

Do you use the clutch while braking?

I don’t engine break when is raining because you could lose traction on your back tire and fall.

Getting a liter bike soon! I’m subscribing

What about at high speeds like 65 on the freeway?

Somebody come get Scotty kilmers grandson.

What do u do with the throttle while braking

Pov you got started on a bike that has only front brake😂

Do not only use 2 fingers, u are missing out on stopping power

Bros hair is majestic

The fact someone looking like this has a gsxr is pure comedy

Damn look at my guys grass in the back tho

LMFAO I did not hear anything resembling showing how a new Rider should break properly which would be gently apply the rear brake and then gently apply the front brake

Under dry heavy breaking its more like 85/15

Do I need to press the clutch to press the break? Or can I break without the clutch?

Scotty JR! Rev your Moto!

Lowkey love this info but I send it and just hope I don’t die 🤣

We're not landing an airplane 😂

i want my hair to look like yours

Rodrick heffley

nice video dawg 🤌🏽

How tall are you

Credit to you for doing these vids but your advice is gonna be so different in 10 years

Wo needs brakes all I need is ron

How tall are you im buying a gsxr 600 and I am 6foot4. Idk if its going to be uncomfortable for me or am I going to look goofy 😂

The front brake does far more than 70% of the braking.

I let engine braking do most of the heavy lifting for me.

Use one or two fingers on the front brake? Bro it’s not motocross…

Bro u have ride on Indian roads

Dude i want to get suzuki csx r but them mfs 6k and up used ones tho

💯👍🏻

Beginners rear brakes are better just makes sure you are upright when you break

You think he would be smart enough to get a better euro superbike

حاسس ان الواد ده لمؤخه

I don’t think the guy rides

GSXR squid

If it was electric, you could turn on regen breaking, and just let go of the throttle to slow you down. But what lame ass rides electric bikes anyway? 🤣🤣

I don't trust this weeb

Ok well that bike in the corner video was a BMW GS. I have that bike. When you apply the front brake the bike also applies the rear brake because it's a $30K bike and those Germans are smart MF'ers. I don't need to apply both unless I get on one of these japanese sport bikes.

Dawg😂put ya hair up
