anyone Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Ashamed to admit but I can't stop. E.g. I am going into 2nd gear in heavy traffic I need to stop completely for a few seconds every 10m. in front of an obstacle. Which script should I use? (1. step off the throttle 2. apply the brake). 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Definitely throttle first as that alone could slow you sufficiently, if not use the brakes, i use left combo brake first 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daihatsu ... 550cc (Mira), quite popular OP did state earlier 125 vs 500cc, so assume yes, it's a MB. As don't know many 125cc cars permitted on the road.

Popular Post Kinnock Posted August 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2022 Still not sure if the OP is serious .... suspect a troll. Jumping from an auto scooter to (I guess) a Honda CB500 without knowing how to use clutch and brakes properly seems like a high risk plan .... but just in case the OP was serious ..... Except in an emergency stop situation, you go down through the gears to slow down, adding a touch of front and rear brake if needed, then to come to a complete stop from low speed, you can use either brake, but it easier to use the rear, or perhaps one finger on the front. To prevent the engine stalling, you also pull in the clutch. If riding an older bike (or an old design bike ... i.e Chinese) you will flip it into neutral before you stop, otherwise you'll be faffing about trying to find neutral. For an emergency stop - you need to practice this, a lot, so it becomes an automated reaction. Ease on the front brake quite firmly until you feel the front wheel load up (you can sense this by the suspension diving and the sound from the tyre) then pull the front brake hard, but release a little if you feel the front is going to lock. At the same time lightly press the rear brake, and go quickly down through the gears - so you are always in the right gear for your rapidly reducing speed (as accelerating quickly may become a better option than braking, depending on the situation. To do all this quickly is why you need to practice - ideally on different surfaces ... wet, dry, gravel, off road. ABS adds to the safety, but still good to be able to 'feel' your wheels when stopping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
