I used to stop motorcycle by pulling clutch and pressing rear brake. This make rear tyre to slip often, then my friend told me not to pull the clutch and directly press the rear brake and when it stops then pull clutch and downshift the gear. Is this method right? I tried it and really it don‘t allow rear tyre to slip, I am able to stop at over 50kmph without slipping the tyre. But I have question, does this harm engine? I change engine oil in 6000km which is recommended by manufacturer.
It all would depend on your speed before braking and the distance to the obstacle. If you are not goin that fast and have sufficient time, the better thing is to downshift gradually and use your front and rear brake simultaneously. If its an emergency, you could try using the engine braking method alongwith both the brakes, or could even resort to pumping, looks funny but is a lifesaver. Ideally, it is advisable that you avoid using one brake in isolation, it results in skidding as well as imposes too much load on the brake. YOu could also try reducing the rear brake tension a little bit (mildly), it helps yo slow down while the front would bring you to a dead stop. As regarding harming the engine,, yes, it does affect the engine. Your lubes are running at the appropriate ratio when at that speed, sudden stopping may result in flooding of the engine. (Possible, not necessary). And, finally, naturally, you need to control the skids if you want to try stunts like stoppin suddenly while at 50kmph.
Unless it's an emergency stop, normally you would downshift all the way to first while braking gently. The harder you brake, the more you need to use the front brake as your weight will transfer forward. On my 200 dual-sport, the brakes are not that great and I can crush the front lever to the handlebar and stop on a dry road without skidding the front wheel or going over the front. Personally, I find it hard to control the rear brake properly in an emergency like when someone steps into the road too close, so I'd go for 100% front brake.
I don't know what bike you ride but 90% of your braking power comes from the front wheel. Forget the back brake and concentrate on the front. Ignore those idiotic stories about being flipped over the bars.
Just a bunch of adrenaline
