Just to a simple disscussion i just wana ask if anyone you guys use engine brake all the time? is there any disadvantage using engine brake?

 

well for me, i always use engine brake before the red light stop and also before entering a corner...well do give me some feedbacks thx.

If i'm nt wrong the more engine brake u use...the faster ur clutch plate finish.

the best would be to brake first to reduce some speed and follow by engine brake. if u engine brake at faster speed it will be more taxing on the clutch plates loh. brake pads are much cheaper than clutch plates rite? but i use engine brake all the time too.

wat u wan us to help u?to sell the bike?or to c izit reasonable?

[IceZ]

Yah..engine brake is safer n better than brake.especially u running at high speed.too much rear brake may coz wheel lock then...buang*

if u wan ur brake pad to hav longer life...try press n release continueously.juz like intemittent brake(dunno how to speed)

as for engine brake try juz to shift down gear 1 by 1.if u shift down all the way from 6th gear to 3rd/4th gear it may hurt ur clutch plate.

[paiseh]

can help me? gif me feedbacks.

 

i study NTU, near 2nd link, from NTU to 2nd link and a u turn all the way to the nearest petrol kiosk is 40km. all str road except the uturn. den from there i go home 40km. everytime buy 2 cigs.

 

total savings in a trip: ~cigs($9)

~petrol($10)

 

cost of a trip : ~1hr 20mins, my opportunity cost, time wasted.

: ~ custom need to pay $1

: ~highway tax 1rm x 2 = ~$1

 

i haven add in the wear n tear of front n rear tyre. millege the bike has to travel. engine oil turns black much faster.

 

i dun eat dinner, so if i eat there i will in fact spend more instead of saving.

 

haiz... been thinking abt tis for a long time.. im a student, time is important for me. in fact its quite shack, by the time i reach home already 10pm+ liao. within 1hr im travelling ~80km

 

maybe long long one time ok la, wif frens. but not always rite?

 

pls comment, thx! i know i abit bo liao, but i need ur comments n feedback~!~!~!

ehhh..not really leh......heavy engine braking like notmal heavy rear braking will also cause your rear wheel to lock.......just try accelerating from stop, clutch in den release your clutch without throttle and you will find your rear wheel skidding.... no joke.

That applies if u drop to a lower gear at a high speed ba... normal engine braking at the correct gear shdn;t be locking any wheels...

[paiseh]

actually i agree wif him, coz i did lock my wheels like tat b4

 

i also agree wif u, coz i also locked my wheels like tat b4 too!!

:confused:

 

sibei confused...

[snk]

hmmm... ya quite confusing so far i nv lock my wheel when engine brakes...but i always lock using rear brakes...lolx...

[No_regret]

I dont think the rear wheel lock so easily with engine brake. Could it be ur tyres are to doing well or u just throw ur clutch. Try releasing ur clutch slower. This will give u smoother ride too. Smooth is a way of going fast also.
