How to: EMERGENCY STOP on a MOTORCYCLE!

[@ladyjjheather]

I had to do my CBT over 2 days as i wasn't getting the hang of some of it. BUT the emergency stop was the only thing i could do every time correct without fail... They were shocked and so was i. It really is easy to do.

[@The63chicky]

Haha me too...."textbook" they said. Must be a girl thing ;) We rock!!

[@sassy_gamer7899]

Shouldn’t be on a bike if it takes 2 days to pass a cbt …

[@Luggruff]

@@The63chicky did you just assume his/her/it/their gender.. AND assume no guys get it the first time? ._o

[@Phil480]

Great instruction Spicy! Now go do it on the gravel :p

[@donky75]

Trust this video.new riders you will need this more than you think..I passed c.bt last Oct and had to use this more than I thought I would....cars do not look for you...

[@nyleen]

ha. I just got back home from doing my A2. Test is on Friday. Good timing Spicy. Love you! Edit: Because of my shit 125 brakes and because most of my riding experience is racing and on track, the gradual braking (softer then harder) is a bit new to me. On track you brake hard at your marker and then ease the brake into the corner without letting go. So this is good advice. Thank you spicy.

[@MrSlowestD16]

Hmm, I think you left off a really important part there, Spicy. It 100% matters if your rear wheel locks, because if it locks you better keep it locked. If you release that rear while it's sideways that bike will high-side the shit out of you. At the MC safety courses here they teach: "If front locks, release immediately and re-apply" and "if rear locks, keep it locked until stop."

[@samshaw5618]

On my cbt, because my original instructor tried to get me through so we could get on the road by a certain time, neglected to tell me the bike didnt have abs and the proper technique and nearly highsided. New instructor, who understood newcomers helped with this alot

[@ItsBeenDanBefore]

Very helpful, considering I have my CBT renewal on the 2nd of July. Only thing I feel even slightly nervous about is the U-turn. For some reason, the only slow speed manoeuvre I cannae do is a U-turn. Unfortunately, I have barely anywhere near me I can actually go to practice (not even a car park, really)

[@spicy110]

Have you seen my slow control video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rprak4yIqN9qp5Y

[@nyleen]

Try to find a shopping centre. Tescos or something, go when it's not busy and practice it a few times there. Remember, apply steady throttle and control your momentum with your clutch oh and ride the back brake.

[@ItsBeenDanBefore]

@@spicy110 I have, actually, and I have very recently done a slow riding course at some MotoFest thing. However, I will rewatch and see if I can relearn anything

[@twitchyrider1174]

jwkzzr when I was practicing my u turn I found a quiet country lane on a long straight part, kept doing u turns both ways. Most important part is looking where you want to go, really bend that head round to see where you want to end up. I was awful to begin with but as with any skill it’s down to practice practice practice. I now love slow control/balance. Try as Spicy recommended to try not to put feet down in everyday traffic. Good luck

[@mazdamaniac4643]

When I need to do an emergency stop, I first deploy the parachute. While that is unfolding, I hit the release on the anchor windlass while digging both heels into the road. If all goes well, the parachute should cushion the shock from the anchor as it gains purchase, leaving me with just enough soles on my boots that I don't burst into flames. The only real stressful part is spending some time attempting to extract the anchor from the engine block of the BMW that was tailgating me...but...such is life. 🤷‍♀

[@spicy110]

It is not dumb, if it works! 😂

[@UltimatePwnageNL]

For first timers this is great advice, but PULL IN THE CLUTCH! You dont need the additional rear braking. If your rear brake cannot lock the back wheel on its own something is wrong with it. Engine braking in an emergency stop makes controlling your bike much harder especially if it stalls, and also in an accident situation you may want to get the hell away from there to a safer place which you cannot do as quickly if you stalled.

[@Mean-bj8wp]

Hi Spicy, with linked brakes when you pull the the front brake lever only the front brake operates. Push on the rear then the front does work a little as well. On my bike (Herald Scrambler 125) the front caliper has 2 large pistons either side of a smaller piston which are on different hydraulic systems. The rear slave cylinder has a hose that runs to the front caliper. The front caliper has 2 bleed nipples for each hydraulic system. Keep the vids coming always a highlight of the day when I see a new vid posted. Ride safe but have fun.

[@kevinviney7995]

Hi Mean1974, For some bikes with linked brakes, a degree of rear brake is applied when front lever is used. Most of the larger BMW bikes (eg GS & RT) operate in this way after tests by the manufacturer have shown this to be both safe and effective for the majority of riders.

[@Mean-bj8wp]

@@kevinviney7995 OK not come across linked brakes on larger bikes usually abs I'm actually surprised that BMW doesn't have abs I thought bikes of that size had to have abs due to euro regulations

[@ApneaTM]

I've done this on my CBT and I've had to do it twice in real life applications!! Scary moments

[@salamander3686]

i have my CBT this sunday and i can’t wait!!! i’ve been watching these videos on repeat bc i’m THAT nervous

[@paganwiccacat]

Good luck! I'm still researching with these sorts of vids. I'm hoping to do my CBT before summers out!!!

[@spicy110]

Best of luck!

[@spicy110]

You will find probably every question answered in my motorcycle tips for new riders playlist. Link in the description. 👍 best of luck!

[@twitchyrider1174]

Spicy has all you need to know regarding cbt or mod1 & 2. He inspired me back to motorbikes and to take my A licence. I now have 3 bikes and a large hole in my bank account! Thanks Spicy!

[@salamander3686]

Penny arnold-STANTON thank you so much :)) good luck on getting yours soon!!

[@easternmenace]

In one motorcycle school I was told to pull the clutch in but in another one they said to not worry about the clutch and just stall it. Also one guy did panic breaking during training so yeah it ain't nice

[@FeroxFolf]

Just noticed the Subscribe text on the thumbnail! Great video as always!

[@HaloXIIII]

Thanks for the playlist spicy! Got my a2 two weeks tommorow!

[@spicy110]

Best of luck! 🙂

[@davidbesant]

Engine braking will indeed add to the force applied by the rear brake. But, it may be hard to predict because the amount of engine braking depends on which gear you're in. If you have ABS, it can only release the brakes to regain traction, it has no effect on the engine braking which may be sufficient to lock the rear wheel by itself on loose surfaces and/or in low gear. I think the effect of this will vary a lot from bike to bike, so I guess the answer is to practice hard braking on each bike you ride to get a feel for how it will react.

[@spicy110]

Well as you are not down shifting you won't get a ratio jump to make it lock under engine braking.

[@liamarcher489]

I had to do a emergency stop on wet tarmac on my cbt. Bare in mind i hadn't riden my bike before (as i done it on my own one) it was a scary experience 😂

[@spicy110]

Try that but also the bike is leaking oil from a cracked engine case the school was patching up with super glue! Haha I am not joking that happened on one of my cbt's haha

[@nyleen]

@@spicy110 Just came back from A2 training, I'm waddling along making the instructor happy, and then I notice (why the hell is my ignition starter upside down?) the right switch cluster is completely loose and turned around. And apparently it's my fault with quote "you're ramming it" when changing gears. Fucking really sick of all these instructors at these schools. Never met a single nice one. Can't wait to get this over and done with.

[@fuzzinn]

I did my CBT not long ago, ended up falling off when I did the emergency brake some how lol. Still passed

[@Mafia_x_Phantom]

I was taut on my cbt to rear break until you feel the weight change and then pull in front break

[@spicy110]

Are you sure that's what they meant because....jesus its wrong as pretty dangerous. No weigh over the rear it will just lock up and you will lose all engine braking. It's always front first to transfer the weight to the front for the reasons explained here in.

[@yesiovm7073]

I think you would be a funny but great instructor for cbts

[@rickymullane9973]

hi mate you would be a very good motorcycle instructor you ever think of doing that

[@scottevans8355]

Could you do a video on wether supermarket petrol e.g Morrisons is poor quality or is it just a mith .keep up the good video's spicy

[@twitchyrider1174]

Scott Evans I never put that shit in one of my bikes, good quality fuel makes the bike so much nicer to ride. I alternate between 95 & 98 on each fill up. If you don’t care about your bike then fill up at a supermarket.

[@MountainGoat2024]

My saying to anyone is you can go fast but can you stop as quick. It's 🤯 people minds in the past. 😂😂😂 My answer is yes because I always do the limits or slightly less😇😇😇

[@arthurnogood7450]

Since you've reviewed both Lexmoto LXR 125 and Suzuki GSX S125, could you pls share your personal points whether it's safer to have dual front disks but heavier or single ABS front disk yet 30kg lighter

[@matthewwhitfield2443]

Is the mod 1 & 2 the same for an A1 licence as for an A? Great video by the way

[@spicy110]

Yes but the bike you do it on is different.

[@matthewwhitfield2443]

Thanks, watched lots of your videos all top notch @@spicy110

[@Lacehairwigs]

I think most of us have had to do it as a beginner rider in general when some dump ass pulls out in front of you.

[@MightyMouzMoto]

So if you're in 6th gear and you only brake without the clutch, you'll just stall with no harm done to the bike?

[@spicy110]

In 6th is going to be a lot of locking up. Lower gears would be less harsh, you don't wang to make a habit of it but yes in an emergency you want all the braking you can get. Remember when you use this is life or death, screw the bike!

[@kiefergrainger4556]

Yeah have fun getting out of the way of the vehicle not stopping behind you when you stall in 6th gear.

[@jaygauld85]

Thank you again for posting these videos. Have you seen MotoJitsu channel? Fast Eddie has martial art type belt level challenges. I think you'd enjoy them.

[@CautiousBwasser]

If only I saw this yesterday just before I done my CBT haha (Passed btw :D)

[@spicy110]

Congrats!

[@KIZAB1]

I tried this and now my engine blocks cracked..... thanks spicy

[@adammoorby99]

U-Turns next spicy? Nearly 3 months into riding and i still can’t do it 😂😂

[@spicy110]

Done that in my mod 1 video! Check out the playlist linked in the description.

[@adammoorby99]

spicy110 awesome 😀 i normally just take a detour to turn around instead of U-Turns 😂😂

[@twitchyrider1174]

Just look where you want to go not at the ground in front of you. U turns at slow speed are great for balance and low speed control.

[@MadNath]

Had to do this so many times due to idiot car drivers not LOOKING or hearing my bike coming. My MT has no abs so skidding sliding is essential lol

[@steve00alt70]

You dont skid or slide on non abs. Unless you do it right

[@adenlamb9916]

Had to do it once in real life and just about locked my front wheel. Have a heavy bike and this was near stopped so it was more like a car than panic braking. all was fine, the stupid bitch who pulled out didnt even look back

[@maycrotch8576]

I certainly could have done with this vid and the hillstart vid you did when I was starting out. Great stuff as usual spicy 😉👍

[@maycrotch8576]

6 dislikes. Wtf is wrong with these people🤔🙁
