Hey nice riding! I have a question. I’m a newer rider. I went to Hatfield McCoy last year on my KLX 300r. When you’re going down hills are you breaking with front break at all or just rear break? I had some trouble with this I would put my bike in 2nd gear and engine break down the hill but would find myself feathering front break.

Go light on front brake. Feather the rear. It will slide. Try to feather rear brake to keep bike straight. Work clutch as needed. But now this advice is for steep technical trails. Some of these trails are so bad I get off and walk it. Double black diamond s.

@@JetSkiJockey so when going down a steep hill try not to use the front brake you recommend feathering the rear. Also, do you mainly use the rear brake. Like when just riding on a straightaway and you come to a stop will you use the rear. I’m trying to find out what brake I should be mainly using. But yep some of those trails at hatfields are inane. I wouldn’t go on the blacks I just did greens and blues.

@@Zackrutledge1998 I use very light pressure on front brake. Keep one finger covering it. Now it can get you in a mess. Loose rocks or wet slick mud can cause you to wash out the front but I’m no expert either this is just what I do. Steady light pressure on the front modulating the pressure lightly. Same way I brake on a super sport bike on track. Referring to keeping bike straight I’m talking about feathering the rear brake. The rear is gonna slide just make sure to feather it to control the bike and keep it straight up. And if you wanna use the rear brake to stop on straight it’s ok to do that but you gonna slide. The benefit of the rear brake in that situation is you can get the bike to start turning as you’re sliding to set up for you’re corner.

@@JetSkiJockey thanks for the information man. I’ll try to get better at using rear break. One reason it was hard for me to use the rear break going down them steep hills is that I was standing up on the bike going down hills. It was hard to control bike and use the rear break.. I’ll have to get better at it. Like I said I’m new to riding I only have one year experience so just trying to learn. Thanks for the information 👍🏻
