[@phoenixishere]

general tip : never rest your toe under the gear padel to make it easy to shift to upper gear you never know from which side shit hit down just yesturday saw a student break his toe by that ...he had all protective gears and not a single scar on body apart from broken toe so please shift a gear and bring the toe up ...never seen anyone pointing this one out so please think about it

[@aaassaeer]

RAHUL S R ideally you shouldn't even be placing your toe anywhere near the gear shifter. Place it on the footrest with your heel suspended in the air (similar to how you stand on your toes). Move your leg and hence the toes forward only when you want to shift gears

[@phoenixishere]

too late for that now mate i usually put it(glide it) over gear lever for emergency down shifting its far better gives you a sec or two more to shift down

[@vijay4243]

well said bro.. i myself hurted my toe while i was keeping it under gear panel ..while cornering.. from that time i always keep my toe up!

[@chan6969]

Yes I agree with your point .. not only for toe broken It can help to quick down shifting at emergency situation.. as well as while we in enjoying at cornering our toe can hit the road as too badly if we rest our toe in under the gear .. keep safe ride riders👍😍

[@rohitconudula2506]

Tried telling all my friends the but none listen to me..

[@59jalex]

Very good advice.I am a postman here in Australia and we deliver the mail on small motorcycles. We are trained and must pass regular refresher courses on safe riding. My only concern is that when you actually show us how you brake, you use just one finger. We are trained to use all four fingers and squeeze the front brake, as you also said. Apart from that, you offer very good advice.I would urge every rider to practice emergency braking. Find a stretch of road and "when safe to do so", brake as though your life depended on it. Because one day it might, and if you are familiar with how your bike will react under heavy braking, it isn't as scary as people imagine.Good luck everyone and stay safe.

It's best to lock the front wheel because if the wheel doesn't spin at all it rotates slower than the wheel when moderate braking is applied...you're welcome

This is a lifesaver tip sir! Thank you so much!!.....BUDDIES!

[@ironhide27]

Very good advice. But in a panic situation no one would remember all this. So it's a good idea to practise these drills regularly so that it becomes muscle memory

[@clashott4372]

that's all good but thats theory and a right one too ...best way to stay safe in a panic braking is trying hard braking on a daily basis and practicing stoppie on a daily basis that way you'll know exactly how much lever should be squeezed in an emergency situation. key is to simulate emergency in a controlled way on a daily basis. also keep your tyre in a good condition always and if you don't have abs it's preferable to switch to a soft compound front tyre ...cheapest one is mrf revz fc1

[@EvolutionMachinetoMan]

exactly, you need to understand your machine first before implementing any technique.

[@clashott4372]

Evolution : Machine to Man I have crashed twice on my duke 200 because of panic braking both of which were pretty much unavoidable and I’ll still crash in the same situation but after that I started practising panic braking by fixing an imaginary target(obstacle) ahead of me and tried stopping before it and now I’m pretty sure that if its possible to stop I CAN stop my bike. To ensure this I’ve installed a 300mm disc, sintered brake pads and metzellar sportec m5 54w front tyre on my duke 200

[@krishnakeshav7777]

Why should we change tyres to soft compound any reason, and if u have abs then i think break as hell u will be safe means pull full breaks rare and front ? I am a noob but will buy a bike with dual channel channel abs soon so just to know?

I think a person in panic wont be remembering all these tips... Even if he knows, i dont think his reflexes work this much systematic....!

[@kailash8]

please try to practice and simulate this method frequently, your mind automatically execute this in critical situation

[@Akhileshdhotre]

Well said bro. But try this routine in regular life, try to fit this method in ur conscious n sub conscious mind, then only ur reflexes will work best in panic situation. E.g. if u sleep at 12 am regularly..then u r into that habit to sleep at the same time, whether u r happy sad or outdoor ur brain will try fall in sleep at same time. I knw this isnt d best suitable example to explain bt i hope u get my point.

Nice video Vikas sir, that daytona is beast. 🏍️😋 If possible Kindly make a video on Counter steering too.

[@ankitjain6327]

Great advice, Vikas! Will practice the aggressive downshifting in these scenarios starting tomorrow. One point though, in most panic situations I have been. People crossing the road end up freezing where they are looking at the bike coming. And if I don't swerve my steering a little then I would have surely bumped into them. I generally try to change my line by just a little bit and in a quick split second and then make the bike straight again to break harder. Is that something you would discourage?

You are correct bro

From my experience the front brake is most important while panic .. Most of the people say apply both brakes at emergency . But what you have said is my experience apply Front and then the rear for control ... Good piece of information 👍🏻

[@rohitmier]

If you apply front brakes at 100-120kmph u will be gone...🤪

[@user-xv8wv5rc1d]

@@rohitmier Nope that's not correct . I have a Karizma R . I always do such front braking even 120 s . Never Missed . U can try it out .

Thanks very much bro. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe

[@dnyaneshgawari1029]

Your videos are very informative, As you have asked if any useful suggestion or comment, I usually downshift all the time with rev-matching. I learnt it because I got locked my rear tire twice at the speed close to 100 kmph. So, I did extensive research and learnt rev-match. Now, I downshift every gear with rev match and believe me, I can manage my bike at any speed. I feel every rider should know this technique. It can be dangerous for beginner but with the practice nothing is impossible.

[@asdvsdvkpea]

During the german driving license we learn a slightly different approach for emergency situations. Your approach sounds very logical, it would also be my first choice, but it is also a high level technique! Since we are talking about a unexpected emergency situation it is difficult to downshift while braking hard. We also learn to squeze the brakes while emergency braking. With ABS we just grab the brake as hard as we can. But we pull the clutch during that! The reason is that it is to difficult to downshift during a real emergency , since you have to revmatch the engine with the spin of the rear wheel or the rear wheel will lock up or brings instablity to the bike. Also if you cant stop right before that obstacle we learn to swerve by really pushing hard on the handlebars (brakes not engaged ). With a rear wheel which constantly brakes (or even locks up) we would fall during that maneuver.

Very helpful. I skid my bike last week. A woman was crossing the road with out looking left or right. A collision was unavoidable. I decided to move towards right to gain time, but my bike skid in the process. I she have used combination of engine braking and should have kept the bike straight instead of moving to right. Thanks to helmet and safety shoes, my head and foot fingers were not hurt. Shoulder and knees were hurt. Neck was strained due to jerk of falling and hitting the head to divider

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks very much

[@elcapitanmlb]

I have a few questions. You mentioned that we must use our front brake first, then downshifting/engine braking, and only then engage the rear brakes. I was under the impression that it's advisable to always use both the brakes simultaneously for best effect. Also, is there any risk of performing an unintentional stoppie when using the front bakes at such high speeds? (even if gradually engaged) Would appreciate a response, I'm eager to get into biking and yet to own a bike. Trying to build up my knowledge before doing so. Thanks in advance. Cheers

Nice informative video. one more factor is also important IMO. to execute these steps in panic breaking situations one must have 100% focus (eyes and mind) on the road while riding, if u have something ( different thoughts ) in ur mind or checking out other road side things while riding then no use of these steps. Coz all these steps have to be executed with in few seconds.

in June I had gone to Ramnagar for a road trip, as I am a beginner I was not riding and was in the pilion. My flat mate was riding the FZ15. We were cruising at 110kmph. suddenly a TATA sumo stopped near the divider without any indicator and a turning TATA indica came from the other lane to go into a street perpendicular to the lane we were on. The indica didn't have any indicators either and my flatmate had to panic brake just the way you told. (As I am watching this on 27th July, it reminds me of the incident) Lesson learnt

[@nitinsen9158]

Hi sir I do always when I faced that kind of situation that I control my bike with gears first rather to control my bike through front brake but yeah you explained my things in this video which can be helpful for all bikers 😎😎🤘🤘

[@nocensorship8092]

Then you'll need more braking distance though. The optimal braking is clutch pulled in, abs on, squeeze both brakes immediately enough to lock the wheels. Engine braking would in such a situation only add to the locking up of the wheels. Besides you can then just go off the brakes and easily sverve to the side if the braking distance was too short to avoid the obstacle. Most people never use all of their braking power and don't trigger the abs soon enough, that's why his tipp on engine braking isn't necessarily all wrong it just isn't optimal.
