7 years down the line, I'm a new rider! Thanks for the video!

Instructions unclear... Dont have a bike

instructions unclear...fell over handle bars

I always thought, from watching other vids, engine braking was pulling in the clutch to slow down & coast. Guess I was wrong. This makes a lot more sense & I see how other riders can take off so fast when they don't have to come to a complete stop. I've been doing it all wrong, pulling in the clutch. Thanks as always for your wisdom!

Great videos, finally someone who fully explains everything.

so in plain terms - engine breaking is basically leaving the throttle at it's start position (i.e. not giving it any gas)?

so on 2-strokes i am not allowed to just let go of the throttle, instead slide it slowly or?

Explained it better than my coach did 👍

super cool video, great editing and shooting!

Looks cool and feels cool to do! I do this on my scooter lol

and it also saves you fuel . because in the moment where you are in gear and give no throttle it useses zero fuel . when you clutch in it uses a bit fuel to keep the engine running . when you are engine breaking the engine is turned by the wheel . so you not only have less break wear , you also have better fuel milage . And it do not work only on a motorcycle , it works on any vehicle with a manual gearbox .

and here i am ripping around and old ass quad my dad had sitting for 10 years with no brakes and a 200cc 4 stroker that has under 10 hours on the clock, that is pretty quick, im so used to shifting quick and with percision that im able to downshift to slow down while being thrown around since the seat is shit haha, nice. that just goes to show that practice is everything, og and did i mention i ride in timberlands pros and that the gearbox doesnt clonk into gear so its hard to tell if you shiftet, haha. nice.

Cool vid! I'm always reminded of how well it works when I downshift coming into a tight turn & let out the clutch too quickly & lock up the back tire for a second ...sketchy!!!

Does this effect the clutch?

Wish I understood engine braking was before I took the motorcycle safety course. When the bike started doing that I had no idea what's going on

great video, well edited.

Somehow other videos did not make it clear you completely trust letting go of the throttle, other vids get hung up on rev matching. Thanks for making it clear af.

Looking forward to the Rev matching video. I was actually going to make a video about rev matching because it always irks me for some reason when I see people downshifting without rev matching.

Gotta ride during the night.😅as ur channel name suggests. ❤tq fr the wisdom

makes sense. thanks

Did you give any instructions here?

Another great lesson. Thank you Sir : )

Doea this technique harms the engine or not

Thanks for all the awesome instructional videos. I have been watching your vids before i go to take the class.

Is it good for engine

This bike sounds awesome. What is it?

Thanks for your video

great information and illustration, NightRider!!

did u press d cluthch ?

how does it happen? when im using my FZi 150cc once I release the throttle gas and clutch (on gear) engine will shuts down.

I'm still shaky on blipping the throttle. I heard it's bad to engine brake at high RPM's which makes sense. N.R. do you have a video of how you setup your camera?

Fosho. Looking to get me on this year.

that doesn't affect the dry clutch just curious

Is it engine braking or friction between road and tyre? Letting off the throttle is abstaining power. So no external force to drive forward. Then friction will obviously slow it down

(New rider) I’m glad I found this video. I was freaking out about letting go the throttle all the way - while in motion. I thought my bike was gonna stall and turn off. Just a quick question.... What happens if you are come to a COMPLETE STOP though? Will the bike stall if you were not holding down the clutch?

when you are coming to a complete stop after engine braking in high gear do you hold the clutch as you brake and then down shift toblower gears?

enjoyed your videos man ... thank you for taking your time and going thru this basic stuff I can defiantly use it ... planning on to start out on 08 zx10r ... let you know how it goes if you don't hear from me it didn't go well lol

When you downshift first gear does it gonna stall?

thanks fam

Thanks man

Wont this like ruin ur transmission when going at high speeds

I hold the clutch in everytime I break and downshift with a blip of throttle. good or bad??? I ride 2'stokes

How do you keep it from stalling though?

Is this bad for the bike?

🤔gonna try this on my 2001 HD Sportster XL883😏™️💫♒

How does it suppose to help others, without even trying it on 4-5 gears atleast 60 miles?

That's not engine braking, engine braking is when you are on a higher gear then you lower your gear to slow down, that's engine braking

while engine braking are you holding the clutch in?

can't wait till I start riding

it doesn't gonna work in my country because there so many traffic jam so i have to break instantly

But youre riding in day? Wot?

Great Vid. I guess I was somewhat confused on engine breaking. I'm a new rider and I thought that engine breaking is when you have to downshift to make bike slowdown. So lets jus say I am going like 40 mph. in 4th gear. I have a ninja 300 by the way. When I want to slow down to make a turn do I. Jus roll of throttle while staying in 4th so that I can make the turn or. Downshift and rev match to like 2nd to make turn or just break..Which is more effective.

is the engine braking stronger on the busa

so let's say i'm in fifth gear... let go of the throttle to engine brake and this will slow me down, if i'm ready for a full stop pull in clutch down shift to first and pull the brakes? correct order?

so engine brake is basiccly just letting go of the gas without touching the clutch right. ? but when i want to gas again do i need to press the clutch first. ? or just do it without touching the clutch. ?

hang on, so do i need to pull in the clutch or?

Is this engine braking method still work even when going downhill? Please respond. Thanks.

Is There a risk of Locking the wheels while doing engine breaking instead of using the brakes with ABS?

Good vid man

Do this constantly and it will wear on your bike, unless you're rev matching correctly.

"Night rider" riding during the day🤔 This is engine breaking!🤣

Makes you a faster rider? Did I hear you right?

so... coasting? also I got signed up for the motorcycle class on the 25th (finally) so perfect timing for these videos lol

But see like. I know how to engine break. I did it in my stick shift mustang, but it legit scares me on my little cbr 250 lol

Mr Knight Rider, so I assume doing alot of "engine breaking" will not only save your break pads a little, it will not harm your motor?!

How ya been man. Looking forward to the throttle blipping video. Still a little in the dark about that one

should you downshift while engine braking?

RIP efficiency if you have to stop at every intersection. I mean you could skip it if you can see its empty, if its residential area obviously sane people will be driving slow.

i acidentically engine break in highe rpm? my motor from 2nd 9rpm to 1st gear...i wonder if that cause my motor a big problem in engine? tnx in advance rply dude

Hey night rider. Can you come to a complete stop in first gear ???

+Night Rider what I wanna know is where you got a 636 from

You are only releasing the throttle man... This is not engine braking.

does engine braking damage bike???

Is it safe? Does it effect engine?

This barely scratches the surface of a basic riding skill. Engine braking is about using the engine to control your speed without using the brakes. It is not about stopping, or hard deceleration, using the engine. If you use the front brake, there is a big shift forward of weight and the forks dive. If you use the back brake, there is less weight on the back wheel and there is a risk of a rear wheel skid (although most modern bikes have ABS, which reduces that risk). However, if you are riding in an appropriate gear, then rolling off the throttle will allow the bike to slow down against the resistance of the engine. It is not an "on/off" thing. Done properly, you have excellent control of the bike with very little fork dive, so the handling remains balanced. On my local lanes, when I am just in commuting mode, I might amble along in 6th gear and feather the front brake a bit when needed. When I am riding for fun, I'll drop down to 5th or even 4th gear but ride at the same speed, rolling on and off the throttle smoothly to adjust the speed of the bike without having to brake. However, on a public road, where there may be vehicles following, it is wise to cover the brake lever enough to activate the brake light as a warning. Cars have engine braking, but much less so than bikes, so it is wise to warn them! And no, it doesn't hurt the engine. (Exception: prolonged engine braking on a long descent on a 2 stroke.)

Ohhh I get it now u let go off the throttle without squeezing the clutch because if u squeeze the clutch when u let go off the throttle u will maintain speed

Daaaamn Night rider! Daaammmmmnn Night rider daammmn back at it again with the fuckin 636! haha I see ya

It's useful when you drive like a normal person, on the other side...well, we all know the answer... Anyways, Beautiful city!

It's a natural way of breaking.

What if that there Ninja had 500 hp and you tried engine breaking...LOL?!!!

Nice. What happened to the Hayabusa

Wait what proof so we have of you not using the footbrake buddy boy?

You're riding the 636?

Something so basic this is what I needed to know. No clutch or throttle. Nothing on Quora and a lot of over thought videos here.

I dont get it

yeah sounds good hahah

Wait...what? There are no palms in MI!!!

You may be saving your breaks a bit but you're wearing out your clutch and that's more expensive. Good Video =)

where's the busa?

Hi sorry for bad England

BOSS

You will hurt the gears

??

tf,ur nt even saying what ur doing

Disliked coz he didn't shift down for engine braking from higher gears. Buddy u better learn from other KZfaq videos about engine braking or down shift braking. Ufff

Why are people allowed to ride on public roads without knowing basic shit like this? Driving license requirements in the USA are ridiculous. No wonder there are so many "bad driving" videos. You guys don't teach people how to drive before you let them!
