    Seriously...those who have confidence with the front brake are far more unlikely to get themselves into a situation they won't be able to handle. Either that's a car pulling out in front of them or going into a corner a bit too quick for their comfort...mastering the front brake will bring your skill to the next level. Go practice.

      We were doing that in driving school ,start from flag and needed to stop with front wheel in painted square, once you go with first gear and stop in square, then go till second and stop and then go till maybe 40-50 km/h and start hard braking from one line to stop in square.

    Front braking skills saved me from being dead at least once. I was going along in heavy traffic at highway speed when I saw some smoke coming off a semi about six cars in front of me but wasn't sure what was happening. I backed off a bit and left some room in front of me and then saw all of the cars in front of me lock up their brakes trying to stop. I wasn't worried about me being able to stop as I used to practice high speed stops regularly but then I thought of the car behind me and I went for the shoulder of the road just as the car from behind came sliding up beside me and came within an inch of the car in front of me. If I hadn't have gone for the shoulder, I would have been toast. What had happened was a car was trying to make a left hand turn from a busy two lane highway without his signal light working and when the truck noticed the stopped vehicle in the middle of the road, he locked up his trailer wheels making the smoke. Like MotoJitsu said, practice until you are good at it, you will need that skill at some point. My neighbor did not practice and he is dead now because of it.

      I also always always have two fingers on the break lever. It’s way better to use it to avoid sketch situations with other vehicles for instance as opposed to going from full fist of throttle to fingers on the lever. That’s never as smooth and costs you a few milliseconds that could be used to further reduce the risk if you had them on the lever from the getgo

The front brake has the majority of the power... unless you're going backwards! Ahhhh! Anybody ever have the front wheel lock up while walking the bike backwards down a hill? I have. Now I slip the clutch to slow the bike while walking the bike backwards downhill. Thanks again for your great instruction.

    I have been practicing this since disk brakes made their way onto motorcycles.
    Your instruction is THE BEST I have ever heard presented.
    You mentioned "stopees", and the chance of launching over the bars, but there is one more reason to get off the rear brake proportional to increasing front brake.
    Under full-on emergency braking, the rear can want to "come around" especially on rough surfaces.
    You need the rear tire to be turning even though it may be lightly contacting the pavement; it is now steering the bike straight.
    If it is skidding in the least, you are in elevated danger.
    Excellent job, thank you!

      @h4xi0rek 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually the rear brake gets locked anyways due to the fact, that the weight gets off the rear tyre onto the front. I would not worry too much about it. ABS just lets you know about it and potentially prevents a sideways slide of the rear :). Most of the time during quick braking I do not even use the rear at all (I know, I should use both, but still it does not really make that much of a difference). Much better to put your focus on the correct engagement of the front brake, as it does 99% of the work ;). Usually the rear is most useful during slow maneouvering, as the front can cause a jerk on the front suspension and make you tip over if you are not careful.

    these are great tips that I will practice as soon as I go out again.

Since I have been wary about using my rear brake and for some reason I have noticed more fishtailing than normal so these tips are timely and I ride a cruiser. Thank you!

    Great information for learning and practicing how to stop quickly. The only thing I wish you covered a little more is what to do if your front tire does lock up and skid. If you don't have ABS and your front tire skids for too long, your front tire is most likely going to wash out and you're going to crash.

    I was using this technique during my course and it works really well. I then took an exam prep class and the senior instructor told me to stop using this technique immediatley and said that it was for seasoned riders but not beginners because using all four fingers requires less effort and won't tire out your hand as quick. I can def agree with that but just that slight difference set me back but I went on to do the exam using the 2 finger technique anyways and passed. This upcoming summer i plan on training on my own and seamlessley switching between 2 and 4 fingers.

    Very good advice. I practice somewhat regularly but need to be more focused on these types of skill drills. I do practice panic braking on typical types of surfaces I see. This drill is great but do it on multiple types of surfaces as they will affect distance using the same technique. . Also practice with the types of loads you carry. Do this before going on trips where you have a higher load than normal like a road trip.
    Once under heavy load on slippery road not wet but oily and again on a metal bridge I had two very close calls. Scared the crap out of me. Thanks for reminding me to get more technical!

    Absolute facts and very good advice, having driven fast on the roads and on the track for 10+ years, I can confidently say that braking and using the FRONT brake with max efficiency is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing. It is obvious to fast riders, but not nearly as obvious to more casual riders usually...at least in my experience. But its the most important thing for pretty much all riders, at least the ones driving on paved roads with some kind of considerable speed

    In my first 2 MSF courses, there were several riders that were scared to death of their front brake. The instructors keyed in in that right away and told them, you don't pass my course until you master the front brake. They stopped over and over and learned that the front brake is your friend. I now ride a 2019 Goldwing DCT and I can 100% brake with 2 fingers. I don't practice it every day but I do it once a week, along with other slow skills. With no true friction zone, you really have a different skillset than bikes with clutch levers. Lucky, all my previous bikes were normal transmissions so I know what the friction zone is supposed to feel like. I use gentle throttle and back brake to create a psuedo friction zone.

      Yeah I had been riding for few years on bike without abs so now when I have abs on my present bike I am super confident with extreme hard braking. But rules stays similar. Abs only works when you ride straight. Because you have abs, you’re not dismissed from practice. And you still have to be aware what’s going on the street - abs is not “life saving tech” it’s only make something easier to do, but you still have to do it by yourself. As fast as possible.

    Spot on! When I did my basic training I was warned off using the front brake much for fear of locking up and skidding off. Fast forward to advanced training and my observer spots that I’m leading with the back brake. He suggested that I lead with the front brake instead. It transformed my riding. I wonder how many others here (UK) that don’t do advanced training are riding around afraid to use the front brake properly.

      When I had some riding lessons in 2019, my instructor told me Instructor to not cover the front brake with my fingers, like I was as he said I could accidentally put my break on when not needed, he said to me that it is a bad habit, and to only cover the clutch lever with my two or three fingers.
      I'm not afraid to use my front brake, the front brake is the most powerful, of course you have to have the correct balance between front and rear break, otherwise your bike could throw you over the handlebars 👌
      My Instructor also asked me if I knew what percentage of breaking on each break was used in an emergency stop, I always thought you used the front the least so the back end didn't lift and throw you off, but it's actually the opposite, 70% front, 50% rear in dry conditions and 50% front, 50% rear in wet conditions, he asked me if I knew why that is, I knew it's because of weight shifting, so give him that answer and he said correct, all the weight shifts from back to front in an emergency stop.
      On one of my lessons in, my instructor got me to demonstrate to him safe emergency stop several times and also how to unlock the rear wheel should you accidentally lock it on a bike without ABS.
      I'll be getting my first bike next year, so will need to redo my CBT later this year in preparation, then a few lessons nearer the time, I'm hoping to have my full motorcycle license by 2024 all being well 😁
      I think having had my car license and driving experience since 2013 helps me too, as I have road sense 👌
      Ride safe both of you 🤜🤛😁🏍️🏍️

    I've been cycling for years so this is all common sense to me. I'm used to gently tapping the front brake when required. Hoping to purchase a 125cc motorcycle this year, and the skills should transfer well.

    First of all, I’m a beginner motor rider and I love your channel and your videos. They help me a lot to be a better rider.
    I’m Dutch btw and in the Netherlands this emergency stop is, among others, a mandatory exercise for the official examination in order to get your license eventually. Is this also the case in the US? I think this is one of the most important ones to master imho.
    Again, love your channel and I always look forward to your videos. Kind regards from The Netherlands :)

    On a bike that has a linked braking system like mine, where the activation of the rear brakes includes a third of the front brakes braking power, I will assume that the rear brakes are handled differently in a emergency stopping situation. I typically apply both brakes in such a scenario.

    I am beginner but I am adopted to use front brake most of the time to stop. Everyone think i am doing wrong and they think i am going to fell if i use front brake. But i feel more confident when i use front brake. Everytime I use rear brake specially on higher speeds the tyre skids. I think front brake is life saver, if possible avoid using rear brakes.

  • @KVNCSTA

    I’m ALWAYS covering my clutch, front brake, and rear brake. I need to work on using both however when stopping more. Last night, it had rained a few hours earlier so roads were wet, was riding got hit with a yellow light and I banged the rear brake, skidded a little bit. Could have been bad, should have used front brake as well. Workin on it

      Same thing happened to me when practicing yesterday. I was using both brakes but because I usually try and end normal stops with the back brake for smoothness, I wasn't letting up on the back brake enough at the end. It's a hard habit to break 😋

    • @KVNCSTA
      @KVNCSTA 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Update: 100% fixed the issue. Just be completely honest with yourself and focus on fixing what your doing wrong. I’ve had plenty of hard stop scenarios now and thankfully I’ve been practicing using the front and rear brake. MotoJitsu has plenty to say on the topic. Progressive braking w/ the front and at a certain point in the braking, let off the rear brake. I have ABS but I brake as if I didn’t. Cheers

    Just my style but I run high rmp low gear combo when in moderate, high traffic. Makes a huge difference having that engine immediately start slowing you down all on top of braking added on top.
    It's not a substitute for using both brakes but just an added icing on top.

  • @ernestbunbury2
    @ernestbunbury2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hello
    Thank you for your work.
    I'm in the process of obtaining my driving licence for a motorbike. Part of all the techniques that I must master to obtain it is this kind if urgency breaking.
    The instructors teach to straighten the arms in order to push the weight on the back and off the front.
    But they also advise to 1. Slightly use the back brake at the beginning, in order to improve the contact with the ground and 2. Regarding the front brake, to start strong (because that's when the bike goes the fastest that we can apply the maximum brake power) and then just before the ABS kicks in, slightly let go.
    You advice the opposite, to progressively apply the front brake.
    Is there any reason ? Could you share your opinion on this ?
    Thanks

    Im impressed with your comment about 'it doesn't matter how many fingers you use for front brake application" to true every bike has different strengths. One bike I'll use 2 fingers another bike I need 3-4 fingers. There's no correct/one ruling for this, because all brakes are different. Cheers.

    If noones around ill get some speed and stop right before the stop line as random brake practice
