Let's head out to a parking lot and practice some emergency braking on a BMW r 1250 GS Adventure. We will discuss proper braking technique in an emergency and how you can get the most out of your motorcycle's brakes no matter what motorcycle you ride.
Is there a difference in the motorcycle emergency braking technique if your motorcycle has ABS or not? What is threshold braking? This week on MCrider we will look at emergency braking techniques and some practice exercises.

YES technique over technology. If emergency braking isn't a part of your weekly practice sessions, you're setting yourself up for failure. Practice so much it's easy. Can't stop less than 18ft at 20mph consistently, I wouldn't leave too far away from the parking lot until you can.

@markwhatley9955 2 года назад

Over the last 3-4 weeks I had to react to the following: wheelbarrow flying out of the back of a pickup and disintegrating into multiple parts on a freeway; a deer slow walking across a 2-lane with no good escape options; a chicken coop flying off a trailer on a 4-lane divided highway; a police pursuit involving 12+ vehicles coming from behind on an interstate; and a large fiberglass extension ladder laying in the freeway (more see-and-avoid). In each instance I was driving my full size pickup, not my motorcycle. As a new rider returning after 30 years I drive my truck as though I was on my Heritage. Road strategy, situational awareness, speed, spacing, watching my 6. I have so much to learn and improve on. In each of the situations I met, I was safely distant but still had to brake, reposition, or just get out of the way of the pursuit, and navigate around debris. Had I been on Miss Liberty my riding strategy would have kept me out of deep yogurt. Thanks to you, Kevin and MCRIDER, and all the contributors for sharing your experience and knowledge.

@Trumpet61894 Месяц назад

I haven't been on my bike since i took the basic rider's course last May due to a number of things, but the skill my instructor recommended I focus on was this. Obviously, all the skills are important, but I had a tendency to not squeeze the front brake quickly enough, resulting in longer stops. So my focus is going to be gradually getting more aggressive on the front brake at low speeds and finding where my sweet spot is before increasing speed. But this and swerving were my weak points, so im glad this video is here for a refresher.

@qft0 4 года назад

Awesome refresher Kevin! You rock! Some geeky thoughts about practising emergency stops: Everything hinges on how many gs you can safely decelerate at on a bike. Assuming dry pavement and ABS, cars can decelerate typically at a little over 1g; any more and the tires let go of the pavement. Bikes are, as I understand it, not quite as able; it's unreasonable to expect more than 1g, even with perfect technique and conditions. Everything that follows depends on that number. A standard parking stall is 9' wide, or 2.743m for metric fans (Canadian, sorry :-p). This doesn't work if somebody cheated and painted the lines less than 9' apart as happens in some places. Anyway, the point is to use the stalls as a built-in measurement system. Here's what I get for stopping distances, at 1g: mph -> stalls 10 -> 0.37 20 -> 1.49 30 -> 3.34 40 -> 5.94 50 -> 9.29 60 -> 13.37 100 -> 37.14 (111.5 yards...20 mid-sized SUVs...yikes!!! stopping distance increases with the square of speed) kmh -> stalls 30 -> 1.29 50 -> 3.58 60 -> 5.16 70 -> 7 80 -> 9.17 100 -> 14.34 Use the lines as markers (don't ride over the paint when practising, the friction coefficient is lower; ride in the lane beside them), and braking performance can be dialed in. Obviously it's unwise to exceed 50mph in a parking lot; the higher speed data points are just for me to remember when riding. I work up to stopping from 70kmh (~43.5mph), coordinating getting the transmission into 1st gear, with as little ABS chatter as possible. If I can stop in 7 stalls, I'm as sharp as I can get. That's a crazy-sobering number though: 7 stalls/63'/21 yards. If my numbers don't add up, school me! I used 1.609344 to convert from miles to km, and 9.80665 m/s/s for 1g.

@redcanoe2291 4 года назад

Great information thanks, my new bike has ABS so generally knowing my limitations is help full. From a fellow Canadian, even though I was driving/riding before the conversion it's good to know both numbers. Thanks

@KathrynLiz1 4 года назад

Thanks for another great video.... and a reminder for us all. Just love your laid back delivery.... ABS can make up for sloppy technique, especially on bad services. It's mandatory on new bikes in NZ now. My 30 year old Honda doesn't have it, but as I have never had an ABS bile I don't miss it. I do remember have in the 60s being told to be wary of the front brake, but I never heeded that advice and got taught properly at the beginning. First thing I do when I get a new bike is test the brakes from all speeds, some of them very high.....(I know some very quiet, straight, well surface roads with no intersections, or even driveways or gates, for that... :-) I love my old '88 CBR600 so will stick with it, and do practice to keep myself sharp.... Good video... I see bad brake techniques every day...usually locked up rear wheels in town.... I do wonder if these riders ever had any tuition. I would say not from observation. I got my first bike in 1962 but I am still learning....went on a great advanced course a couple of years ago (our Accident Compensation Commission subsidises them) and while I didn't learn anything I didn't know before, at the end of the full day I was more confident, smoother, safer and faster..... best $50 I ever spent..... We can always get better.......

I have watched your emergency braking many times an have practiced over countless hours in our local parking lots.. I was put to the test for the first time over the weekend. My first run with a deer that thankfully i got to watch it finish crossing the high way instead of slamming right into it. When i saw the deer i was at 55mph. I had very minimal time she ran out of the forest to cross a 4 lane highway. Progressive braking worked very well an honestly saved my life. As my bike is 1999 an does not have abs again thank you so much...... james

@myjudge45410 4 года назад

I remember from my motorcycle test in 1973 or 74 was the tester saying after the stopping test that if he used the front brake as hard as my brother and I did to stop he would drop his bike. Our father always told us that the front brake was the one that did the stopping. We used to clamp down on the front brake and turn the throttle to slide the front tire on the gravel roads we learned to ride on. Doing that saved me a few times when I tried to stop to fast on gravel. It also made stopping fast on pavement a very simple thing. I am a lot more caution now that I am 60 years old. I have found a few gravel roads around the area of North Carolina I live in, so I do practice some emergency stopping on them, it helps on the pavement just like it did growing up in South Dakota. Thank You for your help Kevin.

@pavelmullo2326 4 года назад

Very nice video once again and important topic! GSA sounds amazing by the way! So nice to see you in action, more videos with your examples are really welcome. Your point is right, ABS is not substitute for braking technique, it is substitute not to end up braking on your butt in case of pressing too hard the front brake, but once ABS is in action the braking distance is increasing from the optimal possible one. The perfect braking techniques is to be just on a limit before locking the front wheel or abs getting into action and it requires constant training and training and training!

Thanks Kevin for the tips. And you’re right about starting practicing it slow. I of course forgot that part today at the practice lot I go to, and proceeded to drop it (twice) while practicing emergency braking, adding to the other “practice tattoos” my V-Strom is now sporting. I collected myself, took a break, and restarted. This time slower. I thought I was easing on to the front brake, but I was not. I was surprised how the ABS reacted at speed, due to me mashing on it. I bet most people don’t even know that they’re doing it. Need to remember to ease on to the front brake at first no matter what. Practicing is the only way to make that automatic. Thank you.

@kenridout7108 4 года назад

In my opinion, you're best and most informative video to date. In my coaching career, it was amazing to me how many "experienced" riders crashed their motors when practicing quick stops (emergency stops) from 20 to 25 miles per hours. In practice, the rider knows exactly where and when to stop; unlike on the road where emergency stops can arise when not expected. Even knowing exactly where, when, and from what speed, "experienced" riders have problems stopping their motorcycles quickly unless they practice. (and practice and practice and practice). Using both brakes (Combination Braking) and even hard braking with both brakes (Combination Threshold Braking) should be practiced very often. You'll be prepared for that rare occasion that might come up where you'll need the skill. Remember, every ride is a training ride.

@fprintf 4 года назад

My father took his motorcycle license exam a few months after I passed mine. He came home sheepishly and said he had failed, he dropped the bike and that was an automatic disqualification. He said that he was doing so well that he missed the examiners instruction to accelerate to 20 mph and then do an emergency stop at the cones, stopping before the end cone. He accelerated as hard as he could toward the cones and then when it appeared he was going too fast squeezed too much brake, locked up the front wheel and went down. No damage other than a broken mirror and his pride. The lesson is, follow Kevin's advice and start slow because going too fast and having to stop too fast for your skill level can be bad for you and your motorcycle's health.

Here in the UK, the emergency stop from 30mph is part of the MOD1 test, you have to perform the stop successfully to pass and move onto the MOD2 test. MOD1 is 9, slow speed manoeuvres performed in a controlled, off public roads environment. MOD2 is out on the public roads with the examiner following and giving instructions via radios.

You did a real nice job on the video. The Drone following you was amazing. I assume it has obstacle avoidance to not hit the trees and the light pole that it so deftly went around. It also changed altitude which added to the view. For those complaining about the drone shadow “get over it” focus on the lesson and learn! My SGS has ABS and it did great today at fast practice stops from 50KPH... ABS did not engage so I have more braking power available.

Back in the late 60's and early 70's there was tons of bad information on riding techniques to be had from "Old Timers". I'm guessing it came from riding on unpaved roads. I rode with this bad information for around 10 years until I found better techniques. Old habits were very hard to forget. I was very lucky for those 10 years. This is why I highly recommend formal MSF training and this channel to any newcomers that have questions on the subject.

@garymaclean6903 11 месяцев назад

I would add, you should also check your brakes' condition to ensure the pads aren't near their service limit, or that there's uneven wear. Both these can affect braking performance, whether ABS brakes or not. My BMW has linked brakes where the front lever also applies pressure to the rear disk. As a result the rear tends to be used more often than if it wasn't linked, and I've noticed it wears a little faster than the front brakes.

@mattevans5812 4 года назад

I only use the rear with the front now because of IMU ABS but on my non ABS bike I had before I'd only use the front brake because I think at the threshold of the best possible braking there is zero weight on the back tire and therefore zero stopping power. I'd practice finding the place where coming to stop in the shortest distance results in lifting the rear wheel slightly just before stopping. Good to get the muscle memory of what the squeeze rate is that results in a small stoppie - on a standard motorcycle anyways - maybe not a cruiser. The other thing I've found with the rear is there is a slight drag always on the rear disc anyways even without activating it. Go for a ride without using rear bake at all and immediately feel the rear disc. Warm right?

@kencohagen4967 4 года назад

This is what I've been waiting for. I know how to brake a car, maneuver one out of harm's way and whatever else I would need to do to be as safe as possible on 4 wheels, but not in two. But my biggest question remains, why two separate brakes? Wh not one brake pedal or lever with a properly adjusted proportioning valve, especially with ABS?

@filboyt657 4 года назад

That's a good and often asked question. Each brake can cause great handling characteristics independently and unifying them would be bad. Rear brake use for tight u-turns and other slow speed maneuvers, Many offroad benefits, Holding still on hills (stop lights). Front brake for Trail braking and fine tuning your deceleration. Combining both for fastest stops. Say front tire is wet or there's gravel on the road, unified braking could drop the bike in a lot of daily situations. The rider can judge safest method and its second nature after a bit of practice, even on just a bicycle as they don't have unified front / rear together for same reasons. Most adventure bikes let us turn off abs for offroad use for that reason.

@thomasbartke 2 года назад

It would be interesting to show what happens on an ABS motorcycle when you grab the brakes. I suppose it would kick in before the weight is transferred to the front. But then what happens? Does the ABS allow the weight to continue being shifted, or does it startle the rider out so you would release the brake anyway? If you would train to keep Max pressure applied, would a fast grab lead to a shorter stopping distance than if you apply pressure gradually like on a non-ABS system?

@SweetartistacademyAuPerth 4 года назад

In the old days before abs breaks we used to pump the breaks in our cars to keep from locking them up. How would that apply on a motorcycle? All abs breaks do is something simular. The breaks pulsate automatically.

@marko6394 Месяц назад

Definitely a good skill to have, but what about the car(s) behind you that can't possibly stop as quickly as a motorcycle? I feel like swerving to a free lane (e.g. a shoulder) then braking (or continuing on if there is nobody in front of you) would be the safer option. Thoughts?

Hey Kevin, great video again. I practice your technique often, and in a practice environment I can become very proficient at correct procedure. But having said that , when I get a surprise in the real world and they happen even with good road strategy, I will use my front brake as I practiced but I always end up hammering the rear brake out of instinct which results in rear end swaying back and forth,then I back off rear brake and all is fine. How can I break myself of this bad habit. I too it without thinking.

@MCrider 4 года назад

I have a tendency to do that too. I would not worry about it too much, you probably just want to keep the rear locked up if it does so to avoid a possible high side crash. All it takes is gentle pressure on the rear brake. In theory you would want to lesson pressure on the rear as you add more to the front but I don't know if that would be possible when the chips are on the line. Just use gentle pressure on the rear brake and let the rear do what it is going to do.

Good Video. We are in the parking lot every week, and this is our ALWAYS must practice, before any other skills. Love the drone overheads.

Hey thanks for the wonderful videos.. I Just wanted to know what drone you use that tracks you so well

Looks like DJI mavic pro.. he’s also using a camera on a big selfie stick attached to the bike... probably the Insta360 .. you can see its shadow but the camera magically hides itself so it looks like it’s floating in mid air, v cool.. .. all up, really nice footage on top of the great advice.. most of Kevin’s videos are just him sitting in front of the camera in his garage, so it’s nice to see he can actually ride a motorcycle 😂 and great to see he can back up the advice with good production skills.. he’s got a good eye, this kid...

What if the situation is such that one doesn't have the time to gradually apply brakes(talking about applying both brakes simultaneously) and they apply both brakes as fast and hard as they can but after standing the bike upright rather than applying brakes whilst leaning, one example of such situation is if deer jumped in front of you out of nowhere? Would applying both brakes simultaneously as hard and fast as possible after standing the bike upright, possibly result into a slide?

At higher speeds it's not imperative to engage the clutch at any time during an emergency stop. Whilst I agree that it's best practice given you may want to be able to power back out of a stop to avoid being rear ended by a following vehicle, I would rather not complicate the situation by adding another step when you're about to be T-boned by an Audi driver who's only concern seems to be figuring out their lumbar support switches rather than surrounding traffic. Otherwise, a great video.

Kevin Have you done a review on the GSA1250

I just wanna know how your drone avoided smacking into trees and light poles. Programmed way points or a follow-me feature with collision avoidance?

I almost failed this on my MSF course everyone else could get it no problem and for some reason I couldn’t do it I will just keep practicing

Kevin, who is operating the drone or is it automatic?

I thought you were going to talk more on the specifics of the mechanics of emergency braking. I am confused as to the order of steps. Is it clutch in first, then let off throttle, then downshift then front brake and rear brake simultaneously? Should i get on the brakes first then pull in the clutch? Should it all be done simultaneously? What if i’m in a really high gear like 6th? In that case do i have to downshift before braking? Do i have to downshift through each gear before fully coming to an emergency stop? Lots of unanswered questions for total beginners who don’t know up from down with motorcycles.
