Master the friction zone | What's the secret?
You practice all the slow riding techniques...Head and eyes looking where you want to go, Friction zone, little throttle, little pressure on the rear brake, but you are still not smooth enough.
Here we show you how to Master The Friction Zone, Including one technique police motor officers learn in the first week in motor school.
Enjoy and go out and try it, your Friction zone riding will become much more smoother.
Tanks for watching.

Becoming a more safer and smoother rider doesn't happen by accident. Practice just once a week even if you only have a 5 - 10 minutes. Try this technique, and you WILL notice an improvement your skills. I'm not saying Never use your brakes....By all means use them if you must...Just slightly less pressure.

so true! Just 5-10 minutes practice makes a difference. Been riding since 2014 but never practiced slow speed stuff and always struggled until watching technique videos. Simple stuff like turning my head and eyes and the friction zone mastery helps so much with slow speed stuff. Kinda feels like learning how to ride all over again, keeping it exciting :). Great video and tips

I use the latter of the technics, let me explain...I'm a shorter rider with a big bike Harley Road Glide Special, so being able to maneuver, in tight areas is a must. thats where mastering the friction zone comes in handy. P.S. I fact checked myself last night, 10 pm practicing the "zone" U turns and circles! thanx again for the videos Rich n Kake, Keep up the good work....#BootsandJeans

Hey Dave Appreciate the insightful comment. Fact checking is always good, Most think that if they get something right one time it should be enough. However motorcycle are a different monster. I always said "getting it right once is luck, 2 - 10 times is gaining experience, 10 or more times without mistakes...that's skills". Keep it up my brother and continue to fact check yourself.

You made a good point about doing the U turn without the brake. I always find myself relying on the rear brake during the turn which makes the bike want to stand up so I have to add clutch and throttle to make it through. I’m going to try your way next time thanks for taking the time to make this New Subscriber. Ride safe.
@BootsandJeansRiders
@BootsandJeansRiders 4 жыл бұрын
You're exactly correct...Too much brake stands the bike up and the slower you go it wants to tip over. Hard braking also makes it more jerky. Little presure braking or no brakes will make the turns much smoother. When you start, use a large 30'+ U-turn without brakes then bring it in to the 24' as you get comfortable. Thanks for subscribing we really appreciate your support.

Telling you, here in Sweden it's not really allowed - more than just occasionally - to use the rear brake at the creep zig-zag test. To get the rider's licence. I haven't understood why, since the RB supplies stability, but this was a wake-up call for me. One must control every situation behind the handlebar.

I agree. Ive been riding off and on all my life. But the last say 2 years Ive been street riding more seriously. Learning to be seen etc. But I noticed the need to drag the brake thing didn't apply to me usually because I can control that strictly with the clutch. For many riders that might not be the same though. I spent countless hours on dirt bikes and dual sport bikes over the years and probably mastered those skills as a result of controlling crashes in ruts n stuff. I mean by that preventing crashes with skilled riding. But even now I find clutch control, controlled braking and throttle control to be the 3 things that make it where that bike is under MY command! On a personal note I would say this. I'm very thankful that I spent many years on bikes out of traffic learning skills. I would highly recommend new riders spend the first year or even 2 on dirt out of traffic learning the control stuff. Ive seen new riders hurt. Ive seen 1st and 2nd year riders killed in traffic. I honestly think the safest way to get through the first year or 2 is off road and out of traffic situations. But that's me...

Thanks Jeff...You definitely have an advantage on many riders. I tell riders to always control the slow speed with the rear brake until they master the friction zone. Then not much rear braking is needed, (if any) just great clutch control. I wish I would have started on a dirt track bike with no traffic around. Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.

Awesome . I will be practicing that when the snow is gone. I can manuever fairly at low speed but not as good as you demonstrated. Thank you for the step by step procedures.

Well done Rich. Good riding cranking out those no brake u-turns. And good explanation of the friction zone. Thanks for all the effort you guys put in to this video setting the cones etc. Only thing that could have made it better is more of your lovely assistant. 😉 I hope you're both enjoying your New Years day.

Helpful, thank you. New rider, struggling a bit with tight u turns, just need to practice clutch control more. I don’t think I ever used my rear break yet, will continue practicing without it then go to it and see which is best for me.

Thank you for this! I hop into parking lots like behind a Kohls or something all the time and do a few practice circles, u-turns, turning from a stop, and panic braking for a few minutes but I always drag that rear brake or cover it at least. I'll have to try this with just throttle and clutch once that f*cking snow melts
@BootsandJeansRiders
@BootsandJeansRiders 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Pat...Yeah give it a try. I still cover and use the rear brake also especially when the turns are tight. This was to show that it can be done without the brake if we have good throttle control and a good graph of using the friction zone. After the F*cking snow melts...Let me know how it going. Thanks
