Question:

motorcycle braking question?

i learned that u can brake w/o gear changes in emergencies but do ppl brake like that all the time or only for emergencies? and do u always press the clutch when u brake?

Answer:

different people ride different ways, some people downshift to slow down, some people just hold clutch and downshift later.... different riding styles, different purposes it'll become much much clearer after you try it...honestly
Yes, always pull in the clutch when braking...
If I need to brake in an emergency, I downshift afterwards. If I'm coming up to a stop sign, I usually downshift a couple of times to slow down, and then pull the clutch and the brake to stop, and downshift as I stop. If you don't hold the clutch when you stop, you'll pop the clutch and could drop the bike.
Personally I downshift a LOT, but when I need to Emergency brake I always pull the Clutch in to Disengage the Engine. However most motorcycles have motor drag when you let off the throttle which has a slowing effect. In the state of and Emergency I suggest applying both brakes and Downshifting.
No they don't brake like that all the time. I always press the clutch if I'm coming to a stop. otherwise I brake a little to reduce speed, then go again. Fag reported me for some dumb shyte. You asked the same question 5 times in one day and All i did was let you know you could add on to the original question instead of askin the same thing over and over again. Punk snitch! And then you got IM and email blocked
