    I find the discussion useful. My personal challenge of trail braking was with an old Bmw r 1150 no abs, i find the rolling the thorttle off gets me to the ( speed where i'm happy to lean in and maitain until i see the xit). While i always ride covering the front brake, i rarely see the need except in a 45% turn to use the brake. When i hear the discussion i see on a downhill where gravtiy overwhelm engine braking, then the trail braking make sense. I'd like to hear your comments.I found position (kissing the mirro Helps ). Intently focussing in the direction of the turn. And being really gentle on throttle input. I'd love to hear your comments

    • @jdelv86
      @jdelv86 2 місяці тому

      If you are happy with the slowing speed control of only engine braking most of the time, i.e. just rolling off the throttle, that's perfectly fine. Covering the front brake as discussed makes it easier to add braking power in those instances where engine braking alone isn't quite slowing you enough. There comes a point where you can add more trail braking power. Bottom line: slow the motorcycle for turns with what ever combination of engine braking and/or trail braking you like, as long as you're controlling your speed through 100% of the corner..

The time to transition from brake to throttle is when you reach the lowest mph point in a turn. Or, the time to transition between engine braking (closed throttle) and throttle roll on is at the lowest mph speed in the turn.

    Jdelv is correct, trailbraking can be done in any corner and does not require any specific lean angle or increase in lean angle. Whether it needs to be done in any particular corner is another matter. At lower speeds, it is usually not necessary. Its benefits increase with speed and required angle of lean, so it should be practiced. Watching brakelight and rpm sound is one way to demo it. Showing the actual trailing off of the hand is another.

    • @jdelv86
      @jdelv86 10 місяців тому

      Good question. Short answer: you won't crash if you release brakes and continue riding into the corner while engine braking to continue slowing if that is what you want to do before throttling out. You have several options when doing the brake/throttle transitions. 1. transition directly from brake to throttle, 2. transition directly from throttle to brake, 3. transition from throttle to engine braking (closed throttle), 4. Transition from engine braking (closed throttle) to throttle. 5. any combination of brake, throttle, or closed throttle (engine braking) combinations you decide to use to manage your speed and steering throughout the corner. Hope this helps! Thanks for the comment.

    It's about time someone has told the public that "trail braking" is a variable skill. MCRider says that trail braking is when you hear the click of the break switch. WHAT? I don't think I have ever heard my break switch. He goes on to say that you should hold the brake in that position. I beg to differ, the whole proceedure of engine braking, front brake braking and throttle on is variable and depends on the tightness of the curve, your speed and the pavement surface. I don't do any front breaking if there is anything but clean pavement and even then that varies, could be concrete, asphalt, grooved, etc. There is no set application of these aforementioned items. You have to be there.

    • @jdelv86
      @jdelv86 Рік тому

      The most important thing you said there was "You have to be there." That is at the heart of this. TB is a not pre-set braking pressure. It's an as needed pressure. And you only know the pressure needed when you are there in the corner at that moment. Nick and Champ School does use the brake light coming on pressure (i.e. brake light switch, which btw with the motor off you can often times hear the clicking on and off) to teach the amount of pressure to begin and end braking (first and last 5%), and also as I recall, to encourage people to use that amount if they need to re-apply released brakes while in a corner. I didn't see the MCRider video you reference, but he may be trying to say those thing. Thanks for the comment!

What these people should do is teach that braking begins with the same feel as the begining of the friction zone on the clutch. (after the freeplay has been taken up). I have a '97 Valkyrie that I have been riding for 23 years. The brake light switch activates way before braking begins. (probably 1/4" to 1/2" before) It has always been that way.

    When you’re trail braking, going around a blind corner that unexpectedly ends up being a decreasing radius turn, isn’t ever a problem because you can just add brake and you’re not upsetting the balance and the contact patch of the front tire is already depressed and ready to provide traction. Riding fast in places such as Tail of the Dragon (which is overrated) is easy with trail braking.

    • @jdelv86
      @jdelv86 Рік тому

      The actual timing of the transition from front braking (or only closed throttle engine braking) to throttle is the part that requires judgement only the rider can acquire through practice. The transition to throttle depends on entry speed primarily. The slower the entry speed, the sooner the transition. The faster the entry speed the later the transition. A good rule of thumb is to make the transition at the "lowest mph speed" in the corner. Basically, once the bike feels like soon it's going to fall too far into the corner, that is a good indication to add throttle and exit. Thanks for asking!

    Man I’ve been riding for over 40 years and back when I first learned to ride the method routinely taught then was to get all your braking done before hitting the bend then to accelerate out of the bend. In the past few years that technique has been turned on it’s head and ‘Trail Braking ‘ is now the new technique considered to be the safest and fastest way through the bends. I agree the term ‘Trail Braking’ isn’t totally intuitive and as much as I’ve tried to get my head around the technique through reading as many articles on the subject I could, I’ve struggled to properly implement this technique. However I’ve just come across this video and the visual techniques you are showing having 2 fingers covering the brake and the rest on the throttle and either slowly applying the brake as you roll off the throttle or slowly release the brake as you roll on the the throttle has completely enabled me to understand in my head the complete process, thank you. I’m over 60 years old but still not too old to learn. I wish I could have mastered this technique over 40 years ago, how much more fun could I have had and to have negotiated the bends more safely? I’m glad I came across your channel.

    This is the best video I've seen so far about trail braking, especially the part with the iPad. Now I really understand how it works and when I should apply the brake. Thx.

    The confusing thing that I think about when I'm not on a motorcycle is the relativity of lean angle WITH braking IN a corner, especially AFTER I've entered a corner and see that I'm going to overshoot the double-yellow line. What do you do in such a case? Apply more braking in the curve, lean more, or?

      When leaning, we can use brakes but have to be careful. Turning traction is being consumed, so adding braking traction can overwhelm what is available. Just like when you aren't leaning, you can use too much brakes and skid. When you are leaning, you have less traction available to brake, which makes it more of an advanced action. With the right techniques and practice, you can use brakes when leaning to slow down to control your speed to comfortably navigate curves. I can't explain it in one response here, but you can control your slowing with the brakes as you enter the curve through to near the apex (middle) and you can also apply the brakes slightly in the turn if you needed to tighten up your turning radius. My book, online course, and other videos can explain all this. Thanks!

      @@deanbush I saw that! I'll get the book out asap. Let me know if you have any questions. You're going to learn the best skills and techniques quickly. And if you choose to ride in the mountains of Georgia, or do a track day in Miami, you'll be way ahead.

      @@jdelv86 I'm looking for anything that will add safety to any riding I do, especially if it's the least common type of riding, but like you said, these are techniques that can be applied even in the urban areas. I want to always know I'm in control of any situation, and not look like this: If I could get the book in via Kindle, that would be perfect; otherwise, would it be possible to get it via PDF or some other electronic format?
