anybody ever do one, i installed a stainless front brake line, and damn can i ever bring the ars up now, but no endo, can anyone do that??? just wondering if it's possible to keep straight with only one disc?? I almost wrecked last fall, i brought it up too high, and the hole bike turned right around, but never dropped it!!!!
what with all the stunt questions all of a sudden? :dunno_white:
It's the new fad! Instead of the 4x4 Hummer with 22inch rims, or the slammed pick-up with the hydralic bed, it's the new way to say, "I have disposable income!" Or, alot of freetime.
:dunno_white: Maybe install duel front brakes? My wife did a nice stoppie on her gsxr but that was because I screwed up and she didnt' want to hit me.
Eh, the DR-Z will stoppie stupid easy, and it only has one disc up front.
You can make the bike do anything if you have the skill, you can jump your GS 10 feet in the air and even do 360 :o
But why would you? There are better bikes for that and when they crash it's not that big of a deal
They are ....dirtbikes!
And if you stick some fat rubber on them a la supermoto/motard there is no better,some people here can attest to that :thumb:
Use your GS to learn to ride on the street and if you wanna stunt buy a dirtbike and tard it as you see fit
I intend to make me one just for that reason ;)
I done a Mad Stoppie on a Yamahaha Blaster one time when the Throttle stuck Open.Man it was Sick.Even with Drum Front Brakes my fo Sizzle Ass didn't want to go in that Ditch. :laugh:

here we go ... :icon_rolleyes:
wow that vid was cool. I don't want to hurt myself or my bike, but man that looks like fun. :icon_twisted: I think ill wait till my GS is paid off before I start doin tricks on it lol.
I kinda did a stoppie on mine. Some guy pulled ou into the middle of my lane and STOPPED!!! :mad: about 15 yards in fornt of me. I squeezed the shaZam! out of the front break. Had the bike pretty much vertical (with a passenger on the back) and stopped about six inches in front of the car (but the bike fell on the ground to the right side). Pretty happy I'm still here. Not very interested in Endo's anymore.
dont squeeze the shaZam! out of you're front break, your going to lock up you're front tire, and be on you're ass. Both breaks at the same time, just not to hard on either one of them.
I still didn't see any endos in the video or stoppies for that matter, and just for the case, I'm just wondering cause it comes up awful easily with a stainless steel front brake line, and my GSF is paid for so I don't really care if I wreck, looking at a new GSXR600 next spring if all goes well! Oh yeah and hammering your front brake on isn't gonna do anything, all it does is skid, and scare the crap outta the guy riding next to you, you gotta press it firmly and evenly, don't hammer on it, cause it will skid, and scare everyone around you, you gotta pull firmly and put your nuts up over the tank to get the bike totally vertical!!!
oh, i wasn't talking about how to stoppie, i was just saying never squeeze the hell out of you're front brake.

The rear brake is useless for braking in homogenous conditions. On the front, as you squeeze progressively harder more weight is transferred forward. The opposite is true on the rear. Furthermore, everyone has much better control of their fingers than their feet. You can do a stoppie on the GS, however it takes a lot more skill (with the bike stock) because you're going to need to squeeze the shaZam! out of the front brake due to the weak brakes. At minimum, I'd upgrade to steel-braided lines and put in way more aggressive pads than stock.

I call BS. Let's both accelerate to 75mph, put a guard rail in front of us, and say you can't avoid it. You stop with just your front brake. I'll use both. I only use this situation because I've been in it. I know using the rear brake helped me scrub enough speed to survive, even though the bike was totaled.

Some of us have been riding motorcycles long enough to realize that in an emergency situation it's important to keep the bike in the powerband. That means the rear-wheel is being slowed down via engine braking. Getting on the disc is only going to result in a lockup. Also, panic stops generally aren't the best way to get out of a bad situation. Try to get comfortable with lane-splitting, going off-road, and leaning further to avoid crashing.

I can vouch for this. using my rear brake actually caused me to lay the bike down one time. I try not to use the rear brake at all. except when I want to freek out cars as I lock the bike up and surf the pavement :) .
watch it some of the guys on here think that lane spliting is of satan ;) .
I agree. definatly need to be ready for an emergency rather than a slamn on brakes reaction.
wouldnt stiffer front sus. help you do to stoppies? the stock sus is kinda squishy

I was well in the powerband I was in 3rd gear, wringing the piss out of it, so that I had plenty of engine braking at my disposal. We're not taking that into account though. In just braking, I would put front+rear against just front any day of the week. I didn't lock the rear, I didn't lock the front, I stood the bike up, got on the brakes, and prayed. It worked, after a fashion. Mebbe I'll do some runs with measured speeds and stopping distances, to probe my point.

Do the words bias, scientific study, or anecdotal evidence mean anything to you?
I have no doubt that you can stop faster by maximizing braking power on both wheels. However, for most riders the likelihood of a lockup outweighs the decrease in stopping distance of 5-10 feet. A lot of professional racers use the rear brake very sparingly for this very reason. Mathematically and economically, it's just like an insurance problem
Using the figures from sport rider. http://www.sportrider.com/ride/146_9510_motorcycle_braking_tips/
Front + Rear: 146 ft.
Front: 151
Front + Rear w/ lockup (I made this figure up): 175
Chance of lockup under maximal Front+Rear braking (made this up as well): 20%
146(.8) + 175 (.2) = 151.8 ft. Expected stopping distance using Front and Rear vs. 151 using just the Front. Why add more complexity for a limited to no gain in performance?
Because that extra 5 feet may or may not have saved my life. Who knows. I hit that guard rail going f%$king fast. But I appreciate you linking to a study, I was going to try to find one tomorrow, I'm just too tired/lazy to do any googling now.
Out of curiosity, what time zone are you in? Most people aren't up as late as I am.
Locking up rear, not only decreases stopping distance, it also forces rear of a bike go around the front. That means your bike will go sideways. If you don't release the rear brake very quickly, you can be in deep trouble. If you keep it unreleased you will eventually stop sideways, or if speed is high you will lowside. If you release your brake while at a speed and going sideways, you will highside. Now theoretically you can stop faster using rear brake, yes. But will you do so in emergency situation?
I have practiced a lot emergency stopping in parking lots, but in real situation i always lock the back brake :dunno_white: perhaps i'm just not talented. I will now practice to leave the clutch alone to use engine braking until i stop and leave the rear brake alone. I truly believe this will result in me being a better emergency braker :) i hope
I'm actually enjoying the stunting threads of late. The information has been INFORMATIVE, which is a good thing. I've been watching my stepson do wheelies....er...I mean catching wind, and I'm thinking about giving it a try (may the Goddesses help us all :icon_mrgreen:)! :laugh:

So we're at 'both vs front' again ? Interesting how it happens alot. I practice an E-STOP almost daily, once the tires are warm, and my head clear, safe area, blah, etc.
I can't imagine riding without the rear COVERED, and my fingers draped over the CLUTCH AND BRAKE at the same time. It feels unnatural for me to ride any other way. How many times will a green light and a quick start (all traffic, not just you) end up a 'oops, i meant to turn right THERE (the car almost stops completely after missing the right hand turn)' and you're still all hamfisting the go-grip ?
COVER THE REAR. COVER THE FRONT. Look over the car(s) in front of you. It's just a matter of time befor they do something stupid. :)
I only quoted you to agree. Good call man!
I've personally been in a odd situations where hard breaking was necessary and as a result I don't think I will ever use my rear brake in an emergency situation again. I'm not sure if it's because I'm a small guy (130lbs), but when I yank on both brakes and take into consideration the percentage of front to rear braking power (75 to 25 I believe) and speed, the rear wheel becomes awfully light and as a result, locks up on me. It has on one occasions caused the bike to skid and eventually turn sideways as an old lady pulled out of a gas station just feet in front of me - it put my heart in my throught, but I did not lowside. I'm sure in other situations with just the front brake, I'd have ended up toppling over or put the front into lockdown.
I'm quite torn on the debate, and there probably isn't a right answer as everyone brakes differently and applies pressure differently given the situation and conditions they are in...
yes, you can keep the bike straight with one front disk, but I could never get the rear up on my gs before locking the front... but I never tried that hard. It comes much easier on other bikes, but i'm sure you know the gs isn't the best stunter.
I dont think anyone has mentioned this yet, but if you decelerate to fast the rear wheel will momentarely lock up or skid it could actually cause someone to lose control of the bike if they don't have a grip on it in the first place or are on uneasy ground. I use my motorcycles engine to slow down most of the time but there have been times where I had to engine break and hit the breaks and fast! its some of the most scary moments i've ever experienced in life. but the GS WILL STOP FAST if you do it right. but in a panic its hard for some of us to think it fast enough. I know I have made that mistake before.
here is a good example. Mike and I were on a ride down to the local MC shop, well lights in VA turn yellow and then RED almost immidiately ! so when I saw the yellow light I put on the breaks quick. well I was an idiot and tried to use both break all at once and engine stopping, well breaking didnt help me anymore, I slid through the intersection like I was on ice, right in front of a cop too. I never laid down the bike and it was rather funny because the bike was just gliding a long as im laughing. i didnt run the red light and I got through the intersection ok but what if cars had been going through there? i would have been creamed. I was doing the speed limit too but the problem is VA lights. they dont give enough reaction time .

lol, squeeze/depress any and all levers you can get your hands / feet on and hope for the best!! Solid!

For simplicity: put on the rear brake, downshift, and let the clutch out faster than slowly.
Ehhh now im confuesed about braking. The MSF course said to use both brakes. Which makes sense, but I have a old timer HA buddie who swears the front brake is useless.

Yea, I don't belive alot of what he says. But he has been riding bikes for 40+ years, never owned a helmet. :o
That doesn't make him a better rider. Try it for your self go to parking lot try braking only with rear brake and then only with front. I bet you will notice the difference, also try locking your rear, just be sure to hold your bike straight up. If you are vertical, locking rear wont do any trouble. It is better to accommodate yourself to rear wheel locking under controlled conditions rather in tricky situation.
Also notice that rear will lock up much faster if you are using the front brake.

isnt the difference between wearing a helmet you die at the scene of the crash without a helmet or on the way to the hospital with the helmet (heard that from friends dad who doesnt like bikes)
helmets save lifes. maybe not all of them. but they do.
No, it's more like this (real story):
It's night, you're wearing a helmet, you lowside, the helmet hits the ground, you get up, pick up your bike, and you're on your way, pissed about the damage to your bike and helmet.
It's night, you're not wearing a helmet, you lowside, your head hits the ground, you get knocked out, and while unconscious, you're run over and killed.
thats pretty blunt but it definatly explains it
If you think you don't need a helmet. You probably don't.
Half a helmet is plenty if you've got no brain.
I was riding yesterday and a squid pulled up next to me at a light with no gear on a NEW 650Ninja. His girlfriend was riding on back with some shorts and a tank top. He said something to me, but I didn't hear him because i had the ipod turned up. I motioned that I couldn't hear and then ignored him. The light turned green and I started to weave my way through heavy traffic at a decent rate of speed. I look in my side view, and there is the squid trying to keep up.
Do I A: Slow down and let the squid pass me up. His terrified girlfriend will thank me later.
or
B: F it! I've been riding all winter. I seriously doubt this squid can keep up with me in this traffic. If he tries and can't/wipes out, survival of the fittest.?

Probably so. It's either ipod or earplugs. Either way, I can't hear.

But....I thought military and former military folks either have integrity or they don't. If you're breaking the law, doesn't that make you an outlaw? Isn't ignorance no excuse for breaking the law? You've mentioned previously that things to you are black and white: you either have integrity, or you don't. If you're breaking the law, you're breaking the law. Aren't you the one who believes that if someone is not on the right path, we must do our utmost to set them on the right path? So...if an officer doesn't realize you're breaking the law, and he doesn't ticket you for it, does that make it ok to break the law? :dunno_white:

How insulting. I've never been so insulted in my life. No one's ever stooped so low as to call me perfect! How rude! :nono:

I mean I wear them too, I just knew it was illeagal here. which doesnt make sense I cant hear anything anyways with the wind blowing lol. also what type of headphones do you use mine hurt the heck out of my ears.
I believe that wearing something that covers both ears while driving/riding is illegal in many--if not most--states. Many--if not most--officers will not take "Sorry, officer, I didn't know it was illegal" as a valid argument against them writing you a ticket. :laugh: I wonder if iPod earpieces work if you just put one in? :icon_mrgreen:
Listen. You guys may be hot s*** on your motorcycles... but I am TARZAN-BOY. I will throw a coconut right up yer nether reigions if you're not careful!!

pandy I would never lie to a cop if he ask me why I was wearing them I would tell him why. and if he asked me if I knew they were Illeagal I would say YES! Either way if he is going to the extent to ask me about them Im going to be honest and he will probly be shocked by it or right me the ticket anyways. integrity can be found in admiting one was wrong ;).
just like when the cop asked me do you know how fast you were going? "yes sir, I was doing about 80mph" "why were you doing 80 in a 45?" " well I just felt like opening the bike up a little today and I felt the open road calling" "alright well im going to let you off with a warning this time, because these old ladies donnt always see people coming, and if you want to go fast, do it on the freeway " "YES SIR!"
wohoo
I like the Shure e2c noise cancelling headphones. Obstruction of hearing while operating a motor vehicle is against the law in the state of Oklahoma. A helmet is considered a hearing obstruction thus we never pass a helmet law because it violates the hearing obstruction ordinance by covering both of our ears. Cops don't ticket here for that. They can ticket for earplugs if they're in a bad mood and will almost certainly ticket for headphones.
