The past couple of days, I been braking with the clutch engage. I was traveling on my way to work doing 80 MPH, the traffic came to a complete stop. I hit the brakes hard, first rear, then slowly apply front. But, still going to fast, apply harder front and rear, but the rear locks and start to skid, release some rear brake and rear starts to roll and engage the clutch for engine braking to assist. SAVED MY A@@, so I started doingthatwith all my braking and come to a much faster stop.

Take time to get use too, but it works

 

I always use engine breaking. It's great for helping in setting up for a high speed turn.

 

engine braking + regular brakes = fast controlled stop

 

yeah hitting the rear brakes hard is a good way to make the bike hard to control real fast. Rear brakes only account for 30% or less of your stopping power.

 

Rear brakes account for 0% of my stopping power. I don't use them (except for slow speed maneuvers).

 

i dont even know where my rear break lever is lol! you learn quick not to slam on that bad boy.

 

Definitely a fan of engine braking...

In traffic I like to flash the brake lamps wwwaaayyy before I'm going to start downshifting (when I can). We can come to a stop so much quicker than the cars, trucks, schoolbusses behind us, and I like to have a little buffer before they're on top of me...

 

I always use engine braking when coming to a stop. It makes for amuch quicker controlled stop, plus if you have a pipe on your bike it sounds bad ***.

 

I cut my rear brake lever off lol **** that ****.

 

I've found the F3 rear brakes to be especially worthless for anything beyond ilde/slow speed manuevering.

When used in a panic/emergency situation the outcome is almost always undesirable.

I think what you're meaning to say though, is that you are, "rev matching." I think every experienced rider rev matches or at least they should, imo.
