Thanks for watching! Have you seen this video yet? czcams.com/video/uUenlEkeQ18/video.html
Would be great if you could do a video on using right gears. It seems your motorcycle was mostly on 3 rd gear most of the time, For few including me, I guess that high reving engine sound when going slow is a bit uneasy, especially when coming from hypermiling and riding commuting motorcycles😂
what bike are u riding in this video? and where?
i think from 10.00 and after is scary for the most of the people watching the way you enter the corners
"hope is not a technique"
:)
I hope someone reading that slows down and learns more techniques. Stay alive 👋
Maybe not but Ive definitely used hope a few times and I ended up being ok lol
I release throttle just before a corner , get the lean angle required then maintain a good throttle, never reach for the front brake
10:45 now that was the golden part of the video, that is what most people do when cornering, me included not too long ago till i finally got a bit of grip on what really was trail braking, but here with that simple demonstration on your bike and the comment "bike says holly crap dude you are not on the brakes anymore" is a connecting dot to understand that when you are out of brakes and just adding gas on the corner then for the bike you are not cornering you are just out of it and going straight, it ties up with the "speed equals radius", out of brakes and increased throttle can send you out of the corner pretty fast, i'll keep that part of the video on my head as permanent lesson X)
:)
I feel like your comments at the start of your uphill front-brake ride were directed specifically at me. And I appreciate that. I really needed this video for clarification of the whole maintaining brake and maintaining throttle.
OK.... wrote the comment above before finishing the video. So I get the zero to 1 or 2 percent front lever to just guard the brake in case you need to brake or stop in the middle of the turn. But now your rear braking in the final trip down the mountain threw me. Your explanation sounds like you are maintaining enough brake pressure (I think you said 5%?) that if you did NOT add throttle as you transitioned to the rear brake, you would slow down. Which is OK, I guess. But I'm still not understanding why you are braking (actually applying rear brake, not just guarding it) and adding maintenance throttle to maintain speed, when you could just guard the rear brake (or front, or both), not apply braking, and use less maintenance throttle, and achieve the same speed. What is the advantage you achieve by actively braking and adding more throttle for maintenance, vs. not actively braking (just guarding), and maintaining the same speed but with less throttle? Agree it is fine (good even) to practice the technique in case of emergency, but absent an emergency, are you achieving some advantage with that technique?
Not challenging anyone. Just trying to understand, because I'm obviously missing something.
:)
I keep the brake light on til I see the exit, at a quick pace.
@@MotoJitsu Roger that. That is what I understood at the beginning of the video, before I watched the whole thing. I think. (?) It just got confusing at the end. Wish I lived close enough to take a class from you.
his videos are so good, i feel like he is speaking directly just to me every time i watch his videos
I think you could do with watching......Road craft Nottingham, why not to trail brake , some really really good points
I just started practicing maintenance throttle and trail breaking on my rides this past month. I feel more confident in the corners than ever before. Thank you for the detail techniques. I’m going to go practice some more today.
braking
As a note, most people don’t know about “open range”, since most cattle crossings have been done away with. You crossed a cattle guard, so riders should expect a cow or two standing in the middle of the road. I cover the front brake on blind corners, to your point in this killer video!
:)
Just competed a 500km ride in the mountains with a completely new kind of bike. My usual bike is a naked sports tourer, while the bike I rode is an adv. For the first few corners i was nervous with the new bike and its ergonomics, but i kept remembering all the staff i have learnt from your videos. The body positioning, looking far ahead and scanning the road, applying smooth breaks and throttle, doing a little bit of trail breaking and all other stuffs you have been teaching us. Within no time i became confident with the bike, and started enjoying the corners. I was scraping the footpegs just after an hour of riding with the new bike in the twisties. It was a multi day ride, so after each day, i would come back to your videos and identify what i could have done better. Appricieate all the hard work you do. Because of educators like you, we get to learn something which we can enjoy as well as saves our lives. Being from a country where we do not have proper motorcycle courses for everybody ( I am from India and over here the very few motorcycle training schools we have are pretty expensive and not for everyone), your content will help beginner riders like us to be more safer on the roads! Thanks again for all this! ❤️
There is no doubt in my mind Greg that your videos are the best on youtube. So easy to understand and gives me plenty to think about and practice when on my bike. Thank you👍
thanks :)
I been watching your video’s for a about 3 weeks now and I have learned more about counter steering ,trail breaking and line selection then I have from 4 years of riding including both my Australian standard learners and previsional riding courses. Keep up the good work mate 👍 saving lives and you don’t even know it
awesome! :)
what is the electroning assistant like abs etc.that you have on the bike?@@MotoJitsu
So grateful for your time putting these vids together - thanks. Love the way you are able to explain trail braking so clearly & concisely. This vid is brilliant also coz you do the comparisons whilst talking us through it. Got to admit my cornering has been a bit random up to now but watching your other vids is really helping. I've always lacked confidence in turns - now I know why! Thanks again.
Trail Breaking - Thanks for clarifying , fancy name for slow breaking, working simultaneously with throttle to maintain stability. Great Video
Thanks :)
Great video. Thanks. Really helpful to see how your speed/pace alters your options of throttle to slow vs throttle plus brakes.
I have gained so many things to practice from watching these videos. More than I’ve ever been told by other “experience riders.” I appreciate you, Eddie.
more experience doesn't mean more skill or more knowledge.
Dude, I can't deal with the beauty of this bike... it's too much. Some day, man... someday.
sure is!
Thanks for the video! it does explain a lot of what to do for a safe breaking in corners!
As always, good stuff from Greg/Fast Eddie. Much appreciated. I have been riding a long time, and you always manage to teach me something.
thanks!
Great commentary on a road very much like the one I ride near me. Learned something new about using the rear brake!
thanks :)
Its awesome to see you ACTUALLY RIDING and showing the techniques, for a new rider, its Gold. Thank You ! Got your App too :-)
ah nice! you are from San Diego as well. I am a beginner rider as well and your channel popped out from my feed trying to look for basic tips on how to ride a moto. Thank you for giving this helpful advice/tips and instructional videos to new riders like us.
I live here yes ;)
I have two of your books. I also enjoy your excellent videos on explaining trail breaking, using both breaks with accelerating and decelerating in curves.
you always do a good job of making the technique you're trying to explain approachable. thanks!
Great to hear instruction on rear brake usage, often overlooked, I find it useful for small input subtle speed control often in preference to the front, which can upset stability if overused. I have found it surprising that some ignore it almost completely.
At a slower pace you may not even use the brakes at all.
Thanks for watching ❤️ MotoJitsu.com for my App, Books, Merch, Discounts, etc. 👍🏼
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your channel. You are an amazing instructor.
Great video. I’ll be adding it to my playlist for motorcycle learning.
thanks
New subscriber here, i watched all your videos. I learned a lot from you from brakes to cornering. You saved me man👍 more vids to come. From philipines.
Thanks
At Madeira Island we only have hilly curvy roads and trailbreaking makes a lot of sense to me going down but not going up, but with this video and using the back break to finish the trailbreaking up curving HELPED ME A LOT. 🙏 (curves here are made max at 30 km/h 😂 almost like a U and going up/down)
:) all depends on the pace you're going
Best explaination ever of "Trail Braking".. this is a great reason to get adjustable levers.. I can do brake and gas with one hand, but much easier if the friction point is much closer to the grip.. same with slipping the clutch, easier to control my hand precisely in close rather than stretched wide.
thanks

You my Brother are Passionate about Motorcycling!!! And you're such a good dude for sharing all of your knowledge so that it might save just ONE rider! Thank You! May God Bless you and keep you safe always.
Demonstrating how you trail brake was awesome mate,it really helped me get a better understanding,I practice TB now every time I get the chance and watching you confirms the dynamics.thank you🤟🙏🙌👍
thanks :)
If you haven't done so yet, check out my website MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, discounts, etc.
Definitely a good tip to learn how to get through the ride with different techniques. I have a Wing DCT and through the twisties I am in Sport Mode, sometimes manual, but I love the engine braking effect in Sport Mode when I am closing the throttle. Like the BMW, the Wing has combined braking so I am kind of getting used to it. I have a VStrom 650 as well and I pretty much trail brake on the front entering a corner and accelerate out of the corner, sometimes down shifting to control speed.
:)
This is one of the bests vids on this subject! Thank u!
welcome
The best! Really teaches great methods, not just one. Helmet cam is a great way to reveal when and where you look through a turn. #totalcontrol
thanks
Trail braking the rear, possible yes, best practice really?Trail breaking on the rear is more likely to loose traction if somebody panic breaks or over does it, the ABS engaging is exactly that, somebody on an older bike with ABS might be sliding. If you apply the brakes you load the front tire increasing contact patch, the size of this match assists no doubt but it is the pressure applied that increases the friction coefficient/grip is more important than the surface area/contact patch size. Rear break you load the front so as you applying the rear break and reduce the weight on the rear, you are loosing pressure on the rear wheel reducing available friction. If you trail brake and panic brake or apply too much break for speed/lean angle/corning force you are more likely to loose the rear than the front because you are reducing the amount of traction available on the rear as you apply it. Whereas the front brake trail braking you are shifting more weight to the front as you brake in addition to the loading the tire, in effect increasing the traction available.
Rear break transition, you trail brake the front to zero as you open the throttle to try to keep the suspension loaded you are just trail breaking the rear a bit to keep the front loaded whilst at constant speed to keep traction constant on the front, as you accelerate that acceleration loads the front so no need to rear. I am going to practice that a bit as I have been stopping myself doing that where I am at constant speed even though I instantly wanted to do so but have not because I was taught not to trail brake the rear.
So much to learn from you ❤️
👍🏼
Thank you for the actual demo.thank you for this video
Thank You for the vid. I will watch it again. Theres a lot to learn..
👍🏼
This video was so timely for me! I've been riding for about 4 months now, and I just recently remembered that I have a rear brake. I was really only using it for stopping and starting on hills. Therefore, a lot of my twisty road cornering has been choppy trying to only use the throttle and front brakes. I'm looking forward to trying your blended front and rear braking this weekend. BTW, your gloves look awesome!!!
Nice! :)
“Why would you go fast if you can’t stop fast” very good commentary through out the video
:)
Mt 07 rider.. stupidly helpful..
My bike is aggressive off throttle .. with the rear breaks now I can manage the rear.
Adding the front brake mid corner allows me to have the bike feeling like a “spring” so when I am out I am basically steering with the back if I want to..
thank you for sharing your ride
No problem 👍🏼😁
Great information even for a long time Rider 😀
I was on a back road that I wasn't familiar with lots of nice curves. Having a lot of fun with the leaning.
A sign read "Cattle Crossing" so I slowed down, a lot ; and right in one of the best turns there was a lot of cow Patty.
I still slid , plus some thigh slapping , but had I been going as fast as I formally was not only would I went down but also would of had a lot of cow poop all over me !
👍🏼👍🏼
For round-town riding, i primarily use the rear break in most cases. I find tapping on the rear brake naturally loads up the front as it pulls the front down .. from behind and i don't even need to grab a whole heap of a front brake for confidence in front grip. it just feels natural doing this. Riding fast, I always use both, always starting with a slight tap on the back and then figuring out the required trial-breaking method into the Cnr following through .. In European "Roundabouts" slight dragging the rear brake on easy throttle with no front breaking settles the bike making it feel stable.
Thank you for the todays lesson and.. the little trip!!
thanks :)
Great video, Thing about the 1250 I find is the engine compression when I roll off the throttle really slows the bike. I need to remember to always activate the brake light just to warn the cars behind me as I'm slowing quickly without applying the brakes.
thanks...all depends on the gear and rpm
Excellent - this was such a great lessong for a new rider - thanks for uploading
I love your videos and you're a great teacher using simple, straight forward language. You've taught me so much. I see that throughout this video you're in 3rd gear. You have a powerful bike so why not 4th or 5th? Is it because the road is far steeper than it looks in the video? Great video.
thanks!! :) No need for those higher gears for this road\
If you haven't done so yet, check out my website MotoJitsu.com for my app, books, discounts, etc.
Thank you. I do understand better with this video.
sounds like a good way to change brake discs and pads 3 times as often with no real benefit, i will definitly take my time to learn thid technique but i dont think its something i will be using
I love your videos. Pretty informative. Please keep up the good work.
Thanks 😊
SO helpful! My favorite style of video that you do :D
Another great video...this is a great drill to practice and pair with emergency braking drills.
Yes!
I've been riding for 50 years. I use your vids to keep fresh. Well done. Keep up the good work.
:) thanks
Amigo ! Excelente video. Gracias. Greetings and respect to all from Durango Mexico 🇲🇽
thanks
Great videos thanks. FYI my advanced riding instructor here in London UK is an ex Police Bike rider, and he recommends your channel , he thinks you're great!
That is awesome!
I learn so much from your videos, thank you.
So let me see if I understand, because I’m a bit confused on this topic: you start by rolling off the throttle completely, then front braking until you’ve achieved your desired speed… then slowly decrease break pressure, and when you get to 0% break pressure you start adding throttle?
Great videos still!
Been watching you for 2 years and I'm finally getting motorcycle lessons tomorrow!! I'll be ahead for sure (also since I drive a moped for 2 years now)
Nice!
Loved this video. Have a RD in my area I’m ready to try it on.
thanks
Perfect explanation and demo man. Thank you and new sub.👍
Understanding the engine characteristic is a great trick up the sleeve. Modern bikes have great engine braking, couple that with the right wrist and you can pretty much have a great corner entry and exit control. Of course the pace of entry speed matters, but as Greg demonstrated, slowly and steadily controlling the throttle, taking advantage of the engine braking, the right gear, can be extremely fun and great learning. Try it out people.
:)
ive ecu flash decreased engine braking..does my head..to abrupt without control..not that useful vs effort required
THX for all your videos man
No problem 👍
Really good channel and video :) Been watching your vids for some weeks now as a new rider.
You lucky... ! Great beautiful road !
so much fun!
I just started riding last fall. Only got a couple good weeks before a dump of snow hit. But I had all the gear before riding. Starting on a nice small 125cc to get decent and comfortable. Then most likely get an ADV. Your videos have given a lot of insight on various things to work on and practice. Planning to take a couple courses next year because our M endorsement takes 3-4 years to get here. Kudos!
I’m also starting on a 125cc next week, did you outgrow it quickly?
@@mencibenci I'm not the OP but just my input: I'm on a Honda CG 125, which is a perfect little commuter. I've been riding it just over a year now, and am getting reeady to do my full license so i can graduate to a 600. 125s are great for learning the fundamentals and falling in love with riding.
@@mencibenciI've started riding 125 not so long ago after three weeks it was just not enough power and size was ridiculously Small but I feel very confident on it at least
Great video. Thanks
Thanks for the technic ! I will practice with my 125 Honda
Great video. Thanks FE.
Glad you enjoyed it
I watch this and wanted to ride , so as I always prechecked the bike like your last video I had a flat tire. I saw your card at 8 ball tires. 👍
👍🏼
Very helpful thank you
Clear explanation as always! I have an issue with trail braking on bends/corners or motorcycle braking in general. When I want to brake or trail brake example on a 6% downhill with bends, as much as I want to trail brake, by the time I let go of my throttle to get into my front brake, the bike has already slowed down enough for me to need to brake (around 10mph or more slower than approaching speed). Only way, I could trail brake without engine braking taking the actual brake's job is if I use the clutch. I really do not want to do it this way specially on bends or corners. I understand that there should also be no overlapping of throttle and brake as well. What shall I do to make more effective use of the brake without the engine braking getting in the way?
Like Eddie said,it's all about pace. Meaning ur pace determines which technique or tool u use to make a corner. So if engine braking is slowing u down enough to take a corner , then u don't need to trail brake. You saw his rides here with no brake, only front brake and then only rear brake. If u want to trail brake ,u will have to go faster than ur usual pace. Hope that helps. Even tho belated.
Nothing like going to watch some Motojitsu on the way to work and boom a new video targeting your wants hits instead of rewatching or finding new old videos!
:)
Hi, as always a good video. Something more to exercise in the Austrian Alps 😀
thanks
This was awesome because I had no idea what trail braking means. I'll be taking the basic rider course next year.
:)
I like to trail break with my front fork slightly compressed-Which usually means I'm not grabbing the break and I have the weight on the front wheel so I can actually add a little more pressure on the brakes if I need it, or just maintain what I have. I usually use the brake but only two or three fingers.
;I've been told that it pushes my front wheel slightly closer to my rear wheel would help with turning also from what I'm told- it works out good for me.
Thank You Bro! Excellent Video!🤙
Great explanation
Thank You. Excellent Video and explanation Sir
Glad you liked it
Very helpful video!👍
glad to hear
I started doing something similar to your last run on my GSA, except I had a few seconds between coming off the front brake and getting on the rear and I wasn't really cracking the throttle open. I'll try to do a smoother transition between the three next time I'm in the mountains.
:)
how does that help
@@wildae. for me, doing traditional trail braking with just the front brake didn't feel right on my GSA. I don't know if it's because the telelever suspension doesn't really allow the front end to compress or what. It just feels better in the corners on this bike doing it this way for me and the way I ride. Of course a smoother transition between braking, power, and steering is always better as Greg demonstrated. I don't hit the twistes hard anymore and I'm just using the rear brake and throttle to control the radius of my arc through the corner.
@@correykeen2956 got it now, thx for explaninig
Friend, this explanation is outstanding! My respect from sanctioned Russia). Please, keep on doing what u do. By the way, not sure that i understand it completely, u r switching from the front brakes to the rear when adding throttle just to keep the power stable? Or not to overheat the breaks? Or there is some other reason i did not get? I mean, why is it better than using just a bit of the front brakes all the time?
Awesome. Front break covers greater breaking throttle 👌 Rear breaks covers lesser, back to throttle.
thanks
Loving this series of vids on the new gs, it really is a brilliant bike. What's your view on trailing the rear brake in a corner to help drag the front end around. This is a Mx technique used for slippery off camber corners. Do you think it carries over to tarmac riding??
I have a video all about the rear :)
Great videos, like the way you explain.
Thanks from Majorca ✌✌✌
Thanks for watching!
A little bit of rear that's balanced by the throttle stops the froks bouncing up too sharply and on track helps to controll wheelie.
I swear ya read my mind when you release this video.
:)
once you got off the bike, I was trying to listen, but the bike took all of the attention... whatever the subject of the video is, an even though I have have heard the message a couple of times before from your past videos, watching it is a must, and I'm just hoping you do enjoy that bike the same as I do. 2020 exclusive with golden rims is probably the best looking GS to the date, happy that I got one myself as well, and don't care if bumblebee came with heated seats :)
sure do love mine :)
My greeting from Jordan . I have benefited a lot from your videos
:) glad to hear
Fantastic video! So trail braking keeps the bike suspension partially "loaded?" I like the trailing front brake going into the turn (when you may need more braking) and rear brake trailing exiting the turn. Never thought about trailing the rear brake.
You can do either...all depends.
I loved this "Hope is not a technic"
Great video guide as usual, I was just wondering one thing tho, what kinda gloves were you wearing?? Haha I really want to get a pair of them
MotoJitsu.com/gear
Very good commentary, like a flight recorder readout! 😄👍😎
I understood the differences between when and how ro use front only vs resr only, however what are the pros and cons of the last tecnique over the front only
The GS also helps. Its so easy to lean and use engine breaking in corners in 3rd and 4th
The bike is irrelevant.
Best tutorials.
thanks
MotoJitsu.com
Great, great video. Should be used in courses!
Question: Using proper braking pressure on either the front or back tire in a turn, which of the two tires do you think would be more likely to loose traction, if only just a little?
Using proper technique, neither. the problem is always the rider's inputs, not the bike/tires.
@@MotoJitsu Of course. Thanks!
What I don't like about the MSF basic course is they don't teach trail braking, only in the advance class. A common mistake for new riders is running wide in corners and knowing to brake while the bike is leaning is a great skill for safty.
I agree with front / rear braking in different situations. However, doesn’t the R1250GS have linked brakes that engage both front & rear regardless of which one you use?
Before I found out such teaching in CZcams, without knowing I've already used to trail breaking ,it just come like that through common sense. Thanks to the video I still have to learn new things everyday for safety 🙂
I love riding in the mountains, it's so much more fun now that I've learned to trailbrake and balance my brakes against the throttle.
Now I realize what those Nascar drivers are doing when you see their front brakes glowing red hot...
I was wondering you can talk about good and bad about engine braking through twisty turns next.
Watch: speed determines everything video I just made
Hello from Australia. A comment about your drz. Sparked this question. Interested in your thoughts about bikes with all the tech vs bikes without the tech. I’m new to bikes and my current bike is a 2014 klr650. Do you find bikes full of tech are a distraction or a benefit when it comes to learning rider skill. I want to thank you also one of your videos about the big bore bikes educated me that I’m not ready for my dream r1 just yet and plan at looking at smaller capacity sports bike as my first. Cheers
Irrelevant to me...but for new riders, ABS is certainly a good thing but all the stuff for me is just incase something goes wrong..I don't use it, it doesn't interfere with my riding, nor do I rely on it for anything. I don't even know I have it. Only thing I like is the cruise control, heated grips, quick shifter...but the abs and traction control, I don't use it...as in it never comes on or messes with my riding.
