E brake question

[coutuser]

If the clutch handle is clutched in, the engine will stop transmitting power to the wheels.

 

In that case, is it possible to pull in the clutch and the brakes at the same time for e brake?

 

I dont dare to try it but it should work in theory because

 

1) power is not transmitted to the wheels

 

2) the brakes are applied to stop the bike.

 

but will it cause the bike to just fall on the ground?

as long as the bike it kept relatively upright, the bike will not fall unless it comes to a complete stop.

 

and besides, why clutch in early if the engine is capable of helping to brake the bike? (engine brake no?)

bro, you dont want to cut power to the wheels because with the throttle shut off, your bike goes into engine braking which therefore aids your braking process. by clutching in, you need to brake harder which then runs the risk of tyre lock and then you will fishtail.

Clutching in causes "free wheeling" and this poses more danger as no engine braking is applied and you might end up going faster.

 

What you want to do is to brake together with the engine braking (close throttle) and clutch in when its about a complete stop.

75% of the stopping power comes from the front brakes.. which explains why the front disc is always bigger than the rear. It is always safer to downshift the gears than to apply the rear brakes.

 

During hard braking, all the weight on the bike is transferred forward which results in the fork diving. Hitting the rear brakes at that point in time is of no use as the rear wheel is unloaded and an open invitation to fish tailing.

as u mentioned when clutch in the power is not transmitted to the wheel, free-wheeling... in that case u had eliminated engine brake effect....

clutch in when E brake reduce efficiency of braking, hence increase of braking distance....

 

u can do it and it will work.. just that its not a correct technique...

just to share... i have a friend who did jammed his brake and locked the rear wheel... next, the bike stopped and it stalled... unable to start...

brought it back to agent and was advised that timing chain broke.. WTF.. .. ....

E brake got time to downshift meh? I thought ebrake is just zham the brakes?

Lolzzz !!! Only professional riders n champiooon can do dat bro... Lmfao !! For pple like myself, bike with ABS is e way to go haha..

school already got teach, when u e-brake u should only clutch in when the bike is nearing complete stop, bcos if u clutch in too early the bike actually free-wheels and that makes slowing down more difficult.

 

but in my opinion the best approach to e-braking is to not tailgate, keep a safe distance from everything and anticipate situations. that will greatly reduce the chances of having to e-brake ^^

sorry double post

E brake no clutch in.. Dangerous... Might fishtail... Just brake until stop... Engine stall never mind... As long no hit anything and safe all ok...

Oh, most definitely. Very nice.

There is no reason to clutch in during e brake.
