Here you can see a few riding mistakes which can effectively dump your motorcycle. They are mostly mistakes during emergency braking. Also we'll talk about how you can avoid these mistakes by using proper progressive braking. We'll learn how to brake really fast, how to avoid really bad mistakes, which can cost us thousands of dollars and we’ll look into special cases, like braking mid-corner and purposefully laying your bike down.

A little info about me. My name is Andrei Bodrov, originally I'm from Moscow, Russia, and now I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Back in Moscow I was a motorcycle instructor and creator of Moto Control Beginner & Advanced motorcycle rider courses, which quickly became the most popular courses in Moscow (well, at least the advanced one😁). My advanced training course makes emphasis on slow speed riding techniques at first (such as good clutch and throttle control, proper riding posture, proper use of vision, etc.), then proceeds to more advanced techniques (such as aggressive braking, trail braking, maximal lean angle). The course incorporates a lot of exercises from DOSAF slow speed riding (similar to police rodeo like motorcycle training in USA), braking and cornering exercises and motogymkhana style riding. And now, since I actively learn English - I decided to post some useful videos for both your and mine practice!😉

Me, Andrey Bodrov and my channel, Moto Control disclaim any liability incurred in connection with the use of riding techniques from this channel. Use common sense, wear full protective gear and ride in a safe and predictable manner!

@Peter-mcmcmc 2 года назад

Man, Andrei; this is phenomenal information - thank you! You have a real gift for teaching, and you're able to do it both succinctly and with detailed explanation, while simultaneously keeping it compelling. As others said, this is worth watching again and again. That's what I did with your U-Turn videos, and this will also prove useful of many views accompanied by practice. Question about the distances you mentioned (25mph = 18ft, 37mph = 34ft, 50mph = 68ft)...is there a source for these distances? I don't doubt you at all; rather, I've found so much conflicting information on the subject and am looking for differences up to 70mph. For example, I saw one chart (British) that listed 50mph = 141ft. I've actually been practicing that distance for about a year, thinking I was doing great. Now that I see your distances, clearly I need to tighten things up. Thank you.

@MotoControlEn 2 года назад

Hi, thank you!😊 About distances - these are average distances for training, which we found empirical way during classes. They are distances which you can get on good pavement with good tires. You measure them from the moment you started applying brakes to a complete stop. And distances which you get on charts usually also account for reaction time. Actually for 50mph if you add 1 second for reaction time (that would be 73ft) to 68ft which you are actually braking you will have exactly 141ft. Pretty cool coincidence!

@Peter-mcmcmc 2 года назад

@@MotoControlEn Thank you for clarifying, Andrei. That makes sense and I'll factor "perception time" into my practice distances.

@tomdella9255 2 года назад

Howdy, I'm guessing these numbers are probably empirical (measured from real results). But it tracks pretty well with the known laws of energy Ek=1/2*m*v^2 kinetic energy is equal to 0.5 times the mass times the square of velocity. Basically, the faster you are going the longer you need at a squared rate. Double the speed, four times the stopping energy. i.e. 25mph needs 18ft, then 50mph v=2*25mph, with mass staying the same you need 2^2 or four times the stopping distance, 72ft! Very close to the 68ft, the difference can be attributed to the delay before progressive braking has hit full force with 25mph being affected more than 50mph. The faster speed needs more total time to brake but you actually spend a greater amount of time braking at 100% vs say 2s of progressive. i.e. 25mph might need 3 seconds of braking; 2s being progressive, and 1s at 100%. But 50mph needs say 8 seconds; still 2s of progressive braking, but 6s of 100% braking pressure after the front suspension is loaded. Progressive braking is only used to shift weight onto the front to achieve maximum tyre grip on the front brakes, you are probably braking at about 50%(averaged) for the 2s until the front suspension is loaded up and the tyre is ready to take 100% Friction/grip with the road is a result of pure downforce times the coefficient of friction, the coefficient is static and unchanging no matter the width of tyre the only way to brake faster is to get friction force up by increasing the load on the tyre. Sorry I went full science nerd but hopefully the physics is interesting atleast. TLDR; Stopping distance is squared vs relative speed, and stopping ability is dictated by downforce on front tyre.

@Peter-mcmcmc 2 года назад

@@tomdella9255 lol...yep, you definitely went "full science nerd," yet I do appreciate your intelligent, thoughtful explanation. Science has never been my strong suit, but I was still able to distill enough practical knowledge from your thesis. :) Seriously, much appreciated.

@MotoControlEn 2 года назад

Yes, you're right! Also on higher speeds you get more wind drag, that's why the stopping distance increases a little slower than at a square rate.

@GooseDave 2 года назад

I feel a bit better about braking with ABS now. I still don't trust it after decades of progressive braking on non-ABS bikes. I still find myself progressive braking and I'm happy if the ABS can help in some way if it wants to :)

But doesn't ABS increase the braking distance? (assuming the same braking force applied in both ABS and non-ABS cases)

@GooseDave Год назад

@@arnab6408 Maybe in some circumstances, but during a skid in the wet your hands cannot react as quickly per second as ABS.

@heritagehillsecurity8778 Год назад

Have you ever felt your ABS engage, now that you have it?

@sword-and-shield Год назад

@@heritagehillsecurity8778 If the braking is hard enough you will feel "pulsing", its why many track day riders disable it. For the street, its about safety, for the track its about speed and control. ABS allows more newbs to survive the braking learning curve, and perhaps even some experienced, that are riding a bit lazy.

@marianviorelradu3831 Год назад

@@arnab6408 actually, the main reason they invented abs is to minimise stopping distance. If you study the phisics behind it, you will find that in case of slipping on wet or frozen road, the friction momentum is bigger than the friction force, translating in smaller braking distance if the wheels are still rotating. When the tire loses adherence, don't grab the brake. Another example is using engine brake on cars in the winter.

@stevebatt1211 2 месяца назад

Man I can't thank you enough for this! About 20, 25 years ago I delivered pizzas on Honda Cub 90s in Dublin. We rode em all round the city and beyond as if they were bicycles! Then I got myself, briefly, a Suzuki 125 and it took me ages to get the hang of this 'proper' bike! I went about 20 years hardly riding a motorbike but have recently taken it up again at 47, and it is indeed, like riding a bike! A lot has come back to me naturally, but obviously these are bigger beasts and deserve much more respect and need to be handled properly. I wasn't that formally educated years ago, I just had a license up to 125cc and I only recently took the lessons for my A licence. I now have a VFR which is, of course, Very Niiice! Hopefully age, experience, great youtube videos like yours and having chilled out a lot since should make me a safer 750 rider than the 90 rider of old! Thank you for all this instruction, which while I already know a lot of it, it's great revision and I've also learned a hell of a lot from these tutorials. Your instruction and presentation is fantastic. Gracias amigo!

Unfortunately for most riders they concern themselves with acceleration skills before braking skills. So many riders I have seen, or know ride at speeds above their braking skills at high speeds. Slower speed braking is important, but if you are rolling 60 80 100+ mph you better know how to brake those speeds in all manners and emergency situations, because your ability to predict what is going to happen has a very small window, In fact prediction is the biggest part of surviving traffic, and where experience makes the biggest difference. You can have great skill but if your ability to predict is weak, again, that window of reaction time shrinks..roll easy brothers.

@atypical_moto 23 дня назад

I enjoy your videos, keep them coming 👍🏻 You do have an error in your explanation when you say applying brakes mid corner adds counter steer. It does the opposite. As you slow the bike, the bike will direct steer tighter to keep itself from falling over. So, when braking in a corner, you are creating more aggressive self-steering. Self steering is the bike using basic physics to direct-steer and reduce lean angle. The harder you brake in a corner, the more you are reducing your speed, and the bike will reduce the lean angle with direct-steering to match the reduced speed because the bike will automatically do everything possible to not fall over. 2 wheeled vehicles would be impossible to ride without self-steering. I think you will agree with this, so I just wanted to mention it for other viewers.

@CherryPoppinz 2 года назад

Andrei your videos are really good! I especially liked this one and the one about jerky engines (seemed that you were the only one to understand my concern with that one). One question, you mention a few times how arms should be relaxed. I was wondering if you could speak to braking on a scooter where you have to use your arms to not crash into the handlebars? Maybe even a video about since I imagine that scooters are a popular way of getting around in the Southen Hemisphere? :) Thank you for all you do!

@MotoControlEn 2 года назад

Thanks! About scooters - I don't have much experience on them really, always been more into motorcycles:) But the basics are the same - try to remove as much weight from your arms as you can. On scooter it would be a little more difficult, but on the other hand usually on scooter you have much less speed and inertia to deal with.

Instead of laying your bike down in an emergency, progressively threshold brake heavily, and focus on a spot you can fit into. Don't focus on what you are about to hit, find an opening, look there, and go there. Your tires can slow you down and turn you much better than your leathers.

@camgere 2 года назад

Wow! Someone who understands the mechanics of braking. Very rare on RU-vid. Most motorcycles have telescoping front suspension. Just sitting on the motorcycle, the front springs have to hold up half (roughly) the sprung weight. Preload puts you in the center of the range. For linear springs, for every inch the tubes telescope into each other an additional amount of force is put on the front wheel. Say 50 bs. per inch of compression. Times 2 springs (right and left, not always true) is 100 lbs. per inch of compression. So as weight transfers forwards the springs compress more and provide more downforce. The harder you are pushing down on the front tire, the harder you can brake. The more your front forks are compressed, the harder you can brake (until they hit the stops). If you just jam the brakes on full, they haven't compressed yet and you will just lock up the front tire. Be a bit patient and that braking force may be acceptable. There is also damping. The rate at which the fork tubes compress into each other, inches per second, transfers force (weight). So faster braking aids in faster braking to an extent. There are limits. I upped the front compression damping on my CB1000R and it made a HUGE difference in how fast I could get on the brakes. Factory stock, I had to say "one Mississippi". Now it's "one". The biggest reason for damping is to turn the energy stored in the springs into heat, so that the forks don't just bounce up and down for a long time. But damping also has a major effect on stopping. The downside of a lot of compression damping is that it takes a bit longer for the forks to compress. No free lunch. That expensive fully adjustable suspension isn't just poser gear, it actually does something.
