Q
is engine braking bad for your motorcycle
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Engine braking, achieved by downshifting gears in a motorcycle, is not inherently bad for your motorcycle. In fact, it's a technique widely used by experienced riders for smoother deceleration and to maintain control, especially on downhill roads. It works by using the engine's resistance to slow the motorcycle down. Concerns about engine braking causing harm stem from the potential for abrupt use leading to increased wear on the transmission and clutch components. However, when done smoothly and properly, engine braking can actually contribute to safer riding. It should be used in conjunction with the motorcycle's brake system for the most effective and balanced stopping power. Using engine braking as part of your riding technique allows you to reduce wear on your brake pads and discs, making it beneficial, provided it's executed correctly. Like any skill, it requires practice to master, ensuring you downshift gently and at the right RPM to avoid any negative impacts on your motorcycle's engine and drivetrain.
