Hey fans, I bought a motorbike the other day and have been riding a total of 2 hours. I have a braking question, and this is based off how I drive my car, do you or should you, engine brake coming to a stop? Or slow down, clutch in, shift to first and then use brakes? Or do both? And if that’s the case, in what situation?

Same as a car. You do whatever you feel like. But because gearbox is sequential on a bike, if you’re in 6th and you pull the clutch in and come to a stop you’ll have a hard time shifting through all the gears to 1st when stopped. So downshift as you’re still rolling. Otherwise you do you. I like to downshift because the throttle blip is fun
