Left hand breaks are badass I had one a couple of bikes ago, you get used to it really fast, it's not in the way, and surprisingly you'll use it way more then you think you will.
I’m a right leg below-knee amputee, so I can’t use my right foot for the rear brake. On my last bike-2017 KTM XC 350-I used a Recluse clutch, so I could move my clutch lever down and put a recluse left hand brake above it. It was an awesome setup! When I get another bike, I’ll set it up the same way.
Awesome to hear you still ride bro. I recently lost three fingers on my right hand and hope I can still ride. I interested if I can use this left hand brake for the front brake ?
it's really nice to be able to control the rear brake in slides, downhills, deep v ruts downhill, left and right steep off camber... and the occasional failed climb. it's just a tool that costs $40 to install(Hayes stroker master cylinder) and adds tons of control.
I think the older I get the more I like anything that helps with technical situations. I have two bikes and both have a left hander. The new OX version works so well I find myself using it a lot. Especially towards the end of the ride if I'm getting tired.
I bought the lever & cable separate & had the insert machined by a friend for the left hand rear brake. It came out considerably cheaper than buying the rekluse one. I think Rekluse uses the same lever & cable anyway. I absolutely love the LRB! If your foot is off the peg for whatever reason, to touch the ground, standing, you are left with your front brake only. If you have an auto clutch on your bike it will roll back on hills. The LRB to me is a must. I would put it on every bike!
Tubliss are awesome! I agonized over drilling my rims but having done it I'll never go back. Just watching you ride sideways on that hill makes me want to dab that right foot....into the void.
Left hand brakes are great but very expensive I've fabricated a couple of them that are cable operated with a shorty lever and they work excellent especially on steep downhills where it helps to keep your right foot planted on the peg I wish I had the problem of too many bikes to put it on all of them.
Use your clutch as a left hand rear brake in nasty situations. Kill the motor in first gear, modulate clutch lever to slow rear wheel. Works great if careful not to relight the motor
I was going to say the exact same thing. But as Kyle mentioned, right turns can be a bit more tricky and intimidating. It is all about trust since you won't have a foot to put down unless you take it off the brake. Also it helps to have the momentum when going into the turn. It is much easier to do at speed.
Hi ! Great video ! While you’re talking about parts, I own a Husky TX300i and I’d like to buy a silencer. Which one would you recommend ? Fmf turbine core 2 or the powercore 2.1 shorty ? I like the style of the shorty powercore but was wondering if one is better than the other. I race in Madagascar, mainly enduro and gncc style races. Thanks for your help !!! 🙂
Just a question have you ever really rode in the woods for the most part what you ride seems fairly tame just flat single track and some 180 turns. To be honest some variety would be nice it gets boring watching you ride the same slow flat single tracks. Still love your channel im not hating just positive criticism.
Kyle, have you ever focussed on your breathing? It seems like you are always breathing more heavily than necessary. I do understand that you are talking for video and that will throw things off. I always practice my breath control within the first 15 minutes of riding and anytime after should I feel the need. Good point about stopping... Every time I stop I feel the need to get back to where I was before I stopped. It really breaks the "flow" and momentum.
You should put on the bottom of your screen a little box that says what gear your in because I just got a dirt bike and I think it would be really helpful to see what gear your always in.
Must be a guy who's never try to good one. They were clueless on my wise. He worked perfectly. The perfect amount of control. It made me much quicker. Everybody in my group. Noticed it right away. Especially on a two-stroke. Where you can't use the downshift to break Enough. If you're going into a right hand or carrying too much speed, it's impossible to balance yourself perfectly with your right foot and also brake with the rear at the same time. That's just a fact. The break saves you a little time. On each right hand corner.

they're great but given how rarely you need em just killing the engine and using the clutch works pretty well too
@@0xsergy True, but they make wheelies very easy also hahaha

Neil Hoover you can take a look at the clake products! It’s great
I am a right leg amputee as well and this set up would be great for me

@@julianchavez3372 Thanks, Dude! Yeah, that would probably work.

“I have 5 different bikes I’m trying to put time on”. I wish I had this problem.

Is it easy to lock up the rear wheel? How hard do you have to pull the lever to do that?

Why is it when we make mistakes we feel the need to explain it to our riding buddies 😂
You just hit the nail on its head😂😂😂😂
That way if the other guy crashes we won’t do the same mistake
Me and my riding buddy (my dad) explains stuff to each other to see if we are thinking similarly or have the same reasoning about what happened
Wrong riding buddies if they let you get away with it 😀
Good point and not to mention, the hand brake kits cost around $300 to $400 and they could come handy if you are doing a Sea to Sky kind of race.

We use that technique in hard Enduro all the time. Surprisingly quite reliable, motor doesn't relight very easily when you get the feel for it
Does anyone use compression release valve on their two strokes anymore operated from a lever on the handle bar
Is the get ecu worth getting if your 300 tpi runs really good? Thinking of trying it but the $900 price tag is scary.
Those mistakes happen all the time. Good on ya. The small (3-5) group of good riders is always the best way to ride.
Are you planning on testing the 2020 KTM 150 TPI? Thanks
Like when you took the lower line if yo lock up ur rear tire and slide it in to the rut you will be able to make the turn
I was going to say the exact same thing. But as Kyle mentioned, right turns can be a bit more tricky and intimidating. It is all about trust since you won't have a foot to put down unless you take it off the brake. Also it helps to have the momentum when going into the turn. It is much easier to do at speed.
LOVE my LHRB. use it all the time. have it on 2 bikes.
You still running the red spring on your 300's, Kyle?
Hey Kyle....how has Scott been?...its been awhile since he's been around
Keep it real brother. From down under!
Left hand rear brake never seen it before sounds like a quad runner Control

Turbine core is for those that require a spark arrestor. If you don't need one, don't get the turbine.
Thanks mate 🙂
cool that you show your mistakes it sure cant be easy talking riding thoes trails all credit to you👍

Great videos guys! Keep it up. Thanks for all the help.
I get off my bike and turn it around, saves energy
Hey Kyle test ride a ktm E bike

You can do burnouts easier
