How to ride a motorcycle down a steep hill - dealing with hairpins

Basic mistakes and techniques of riding a motorcycle downhill, braking, gearing, body positioning. Be ready always

Thanks for checking this video out my peeps, do let me know if there are other things you need analyzed, that's what we do, motorcycles analyzed - Motolyzed 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Lovely .... Full of information as usual it's time to rise and shine .... Mostly people burn their break pads or the clutch plates with less knowledge of control thanks for making this video so riders can understand in a better way to how to control, enjoy on the Mountains while saving some bugs Cheers.

Valuable tips.Good job Branco.Keep it up ..and keep it coming!

Great video thanks for this now I know when going downhill I should be on second gear bcoz back then I thought 1st gear would be Ideal but it wasn't the rpm is to high so yeah great learning point. Im a beginner rider ✌️

[TavistockLiesBrainwashing]

Thanks ill be doing this next week on a new bike in a nrw area.
Perfect 😅

Thanks for the Clip Branco! Really useful information.

As a brand new rider I did learn something, I had hoped the smell was the guy going the other way

Imma alive~!
Alternative and Additional considerations
= do-not upset the bike, in any way, before a corner, during a corner.

Shift weight, shift gear, change speed, stabalise, enter, stabalise, whatever
Avoid gear 1 (even for engine braking, if need gear 1, rather burn the brakes)
Avoid cam-change ranges after downshift (if cam-shifts at 6000rpm avoid downshifting into 6000rpm where brake or throttle will create stress. Cam-shift includes VTEC)
Avoid turbo shifts (some dragster-styles installed things bad for stress levels), between lag to spooled
Use coasting-feel of lightweightedness for maximum tire-grip without-changing gyroscopic-effect of wheels or engine (coasting-feel can be in-gear at engine-rpm matched to wheel-rpm without touching clutch-lever)
Avoid braking in-corner

When overcook, throttle for rear wheel to oversteer(slide), changing attack of the front, creating sideways centrifugal-force effect (not necessarily 2 wheel slide) of both tires to create big braking effect.

Applies to cars too. After thinking this strategy out, apply to drag race games to check, apply to other computer games to test. Target is different (gear) shifting strategy using downhill as the benchmark for power to weight ratio controlled release-application

What about the clutch ..We have to release or press it ??Please Remove my confusing ..

[clopp]

Do I have to hold clutch every time I brake a little

[tringe]

I was always told to “never” use front brake in a turn/curve... no?!?

[rahulbhandary]

Nice video
I have one question, If my way has a deep slope. Then how should i control the bike
Do i need to use the engine braking, brakes ?
If yes then shall i use first brake and both the brakes ?

[naraendrareddy]

What if there's oil or if the roads really wet on the hill? How do we stop? Or slow down. Someone said, do not use the front brake, otherwise the bike will 100% skid and fall.

[myhutisyourhut]

What about wet rainy hills with hair pin bends on a scooter, it's the same breaking?

[gamwpanagia]

I ride an xt600, no need for brakes lol engine does everything

[rommelsailo]

For hills (small roads) riding, which is more important horse power or torque? My current bike Gixxer SF 155 ( 13.9 PS & 14 Mm torque) is becoming stressful for me (77kg) when riding steep hilly roads which is where I live. My options right now are R15 (18.7 PS, 14.1 Nm) or FZ25 20.8 PS & 20.1 Nm). Which of these two will be better suited for my requirements? Thanks

Can someone answer this: I'm going downhill, and start gaining speed(pulled clutch). Now when I release clutch I hear motor revs go up and bike slow down a bit(engine brake?). Will this hurt clutch in any way?Then I apply both breaks gradually to almost complete stop before hairpin. Look into turn, my shoulders follow, my bike follows. Right?

[YansenHaryanto]

when riding downhill i always alternating between front and rear brake.. it's like 5 sec of front brake and 2 sec of rear brake.. is it okay or not? i never had that brake gets overheat

[fayepanaraag]

please also enable or engage engine braking to prevent accident.

[bumblebee]

if u wanna go then u go to hill and go down
