- Let's finally talk about THE BRAKES! Brakes aren't only used to slow the motorcycle; there are other things the brakes are good for. In this video we discuss brakes, geometry and timing.

thank a lot cheers from Poland
You’re very welcome. Thank you for watching :)
This advice really got me to separate the front braking from the rear braking. I was entering already on the rear brake. Now with a smooth transition from front to rear, I can feel the magic moment happening more consistently. Thanks!
Starting with a little rear brake can be ok but as your skills progress and the speeds start to come up, you might start to experience some traction issues with the rear tire under heavier braking. I’m glad the video was helpful and thank you for watching :)
Thank you from Malaysia. I was experimenting with this advice and hopefully, I can feel the magic moment soon.
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching and I am glad you like the videos. Good luck with the practicing and stay safe :)
Once again Thankyou! From mexico!
Soaking up clearly the homework!!
Lots of fun!! Gymkhana is my medicine now!
Blessings men!
Peace!
De nada! Y tienes mucha razon: El Moto Gymkhana si es la mejor medicina. Gracias por el apoyo. Arigato y PAZ!
Thanks, this video explains a lot in a few minutes! Very good voice, clear and simple explanation!
I am already working with both front and rear brakes while turning, this video helped me to memorize front->handle bar->reat->throttle!
You’re very welcome. I’m always happy to hear that people enjoy the videos. Good luck with your riding and thanks for the comment!
good information video. 👍🏼
Thank you. I’m glad the video was helpful :)
Thank you so much for your clearly, easy to understand explanations, Alex. As a german beginner, i'm glad for your advise.
You are very welcome, Thomas. I appreciate your comment and thank you for watching. I am grateful for the German people, especially since my amazing BMW 1200GS was made in your wonderful country. Arigato!
Wow, finally I completed your two levels course successfully despite the fact that I had the course earlier in institution but yours made me highly skilled
In the institute we learned emergency braking
Hopefully you make levels in braking skills
Thank you very much,
Thanks for the suggestion. A video on hard braking would be a great idea.
Can’t wait for your level 3 the one with the rotations. I’m gonna guess its how to maintain the magic moment. It does really feel magical as you go through the rotations.
Indeed. The trickiest transition is The Magic Moment going into a full rotation turn. Full rotation turns still scare the shit out of me 😂 but there are definitely some tips I will share with you all very soon about these maneuvers :)
@@LexcoMotoGymkhana glad you are still active since I only know of Kimono Rider that has an English based UA-cam channel about Motogymkhana.
I also want to mention that the part before the magic moment, if it feels like going downhill on a reducing radius turn, that is the point you will know that you are really going fast.
thanks man for this useful techinque
Thank you for watching, my friend. I'm glad you liked the video. This one in particular is one of the most important. Cheers :)
Hmmmm.. Always looking for more quality info. Good channel.
I’m very happy to hear that you are enjoying the content. Thank you for watching. I greatly appreciate it :)
you`re the best!
Spasibo! :)
@Lexco Moto Gymkhana 😀 Cool Russian accent in comments!👌
Great and clear explanation. Cheers!
Thanks for the support. Cheers from San Diego :)
I am trying to understand kintaros videos about controlling the forks and when he's using the accelerator. Can you make some videos on apply and release timings for brakes/throttles?
I have some videos where I think I am practicing the magic moments, could you give some tips! Thanks
I will definitely be making videos about that topic in my next technique series. The key to understanding the fork geometry is to make sure you are clear on the effects of each individual break on the bike's geometry. Also, the throttle's impact on geometry. And the truth is that the throttle timing will be a little different depending on the situation but as I said, I will be making these videos in the future.
As far as any advice from watching your videos, I suggest thinking about line selection and timing. I'm going to recommend that you re-watch my Level 2 video, "Use the Force". I will also recommend that you study Takayoshi Sakuta and Takashi Tominaga and pay careful attention to their exhaust so that you can figure out their throttle timing. Then pay careful attention to the exact path of travel they are taking and the timing of when they flip flop from side to side. I think that your fundamentals are good but you just need to work a little more on your rhythm and flow. I cannot stress enough how important it is to watch the pro riders everyday, listen carefully, watch carefully and follow along with what they are doing. That is the best way to learn the language and art of Gymkhana.
I finding that I.m using my back brake when doing tight turns,, I'm using only very lightly , this tends to give me great stability plus control .. is this a bad habit I'm making for myself .? ... I use front brake for loading but mainly when I'm not turning .. again if I do use front when turning..its always soft softy digress
Thanks for your question. Do you mean during Gymkhana style tight turns or during slow speed tight turns on the street?
@@LexcoMotoGymkhana Street ..yes
Ah, Yes. What you are doing is the correct method. When riding on the street and making a slow speed turn, I usually am using mostly rear brake and I like to drag the rear brake lightly as I make the turn. If I need to slow down, I modulate the rear.
Sometimes I will also drag the front brake, if needed, but VERY lightly. I'm talking like 5% pressure in conjunction with what the rear brake is doing. Keep up the great work!
hello from Russia
Hello from San Diego in the corner of the USA. Thank you for watching, my friend! :)
Привет Павел)
Кто из блогеров на русском объясняет такие подробности джимхана
Use the brakes the same way the winner does. He's already got it figured out.
The winner? Who dat?
Lexco Moto Gymkhana ...You.
Follow what the leader does until you are close but in order to win you must surpass. 'You cannot pass someone if you stay in the same lane'.
Ah, now I get it. Lol :)
Lexco Moto Gymkhana ...Yes, even the Sensei can learn from the Seito. 🍻
Lol. Indeed I have...
