I'm so glad there are people on YouTube who can still make a good, solid video. Good Job.

@Helladius666 what you need to remember here is that we are teaching novice motorcycle riders that have no experience or feel for the controls of the bike, if you are a trackday monkey or a seasoned racer with many years of experience then you Might get away with "trailing" the brakes, however we would NEVER teach this kind of technique for road use as you need to be off the brakes before entering the corner, if you do need to use the brakes then a small amount of rear should suffice.

Upright straight line braking, the front brake is the most effective/powerful stopping aid, as soon as you start to lean or turn the bike you massively reduce the size of the contact patch of the front tyre thus reducing grip, the weight of the bike still wants to travel in a straight line & very soon the front wheel will "wash out" from underneath you!

this bike is so much like the yamaha ybr 125 :d nice vid!

@puretroubleman and what if you need to actually break while IN the corner? As you have probably realized, the rear brake alone want give you enough stopping power on it's own, so you MUST use the front as well as the rear while in a turn...The trick is to straighten the bike a little (from leaning) and apply as much pressure to the front as it won't lock up (take into consideration road traction conditions, tires etc). Washing out the front tire comes MOSTLY from locking the front brake....

[puretroubleman]

while I don't think I use my front brake when turning I never remember being told not to.

cheers for that advice!
