Good video. In MSF (motorcycle safety course) for street license in the US. They teach slow, head turn, press, lean and roll. Slow before entering the corner. Turn your head to look through the corner. Press on the bar to initiate the lean. Lean and slowly roll on the throttle as you exit the corner. Applies nicely to dirt as well as you mentioned. They also teach what your talking about what your talking about with braking to use both front and rear brakes so slow quicker. Also applies to dirt.

I find most ppl are too afraid to be anywhere near the front brake on corner entry when in actual fact trailing into the first third of the corner with 5 to 20% brake or so helps the bike turn in so much better as the front end is loader up, forks are compressed, rake angle decreases and wheel base is decreased which gives a real confidence inspiring sharp turn in... takes practice of course if u aren't use to it. Love the vids mate.

I found swapping from the 'standard' wave rotor to a solid pattern 'mud' disc helped immensely. You're not short on stopping power in your foot, but the extra pressure needed to lock up on the solid rotor compared to the wave gave far more feel.

@1TruePatriot5 жыл бұрын
@@ctonefar Since the sides of the rotor are the friction surfaces--the ONLY ones--why would the outer contour of "the wave rotor" have ANY effect on braking output, for a given amount of brake pedal pressure?
@ctonefar5 жыл бұрын
@@1TruePatriot It's not so much the outer contour, rather the lack of cross-drilled holes/slots in mud discs. Picture the full area of a brake pad being say 8 square centimeters; now two brake discs - one is just round, no wave and no holes; the other is a wave disc with plenty of holes (say a full 30% of the metal removed verses the solid disc, with the outer edge of the 'wave' matching up with the outer area of the pad). If you can put 20kg of 'force' onto your rear brake lever, then thats 20kg of force into the disc from the pads (I'm pulling numbers out of thin air here, but you get the idea). now, with 30% of the metal missing under the footprint of the brake pad on the wave disc compared to the solid (each of the holes is a 'void' that the pad cant press against), then there is more pressure and more 'grip' for the pads to bite with (you've got 20kg pushing against an area of 5.5cm instead of 8cm. Think force vs area; why a hammer will leave a little dint in a piece of wood, but will drive a nail right through it). On a road bike, this is great, more stopping power! But on the rear brake of an offroad bike, it's far too easy to apply too much pressure and lock it up, especially on loose downhills. But fit a solid/mud disc, and you have to apply far more pressure to lock up the rear, which gives you a more progressive feel to learn rear brake control. Hope this clears it up! :)

Of course no has ever engine braked a 2 stroke street or road race bike, or a flat track bike. Not to mention all the 2 stroke diesel truck engines thru the decades. This horse shit of, don't engine brake a 2 stroke is horse shit. The cylinder is still getting some fuel in it at idle speed.
