Oddjob said:Unless you are giving the bike throttle at the same time you are trying to brake, I believe you are mistaken. If there is no throttle being given, you will have engine braking until the RPMs drop to idle speed. Freewheeling destabilizes the bike, reducing control and increasing the chances of a slideout.
I have no idea what you are trying to say.
Let me take a stab at it though:
While the engine is capable of slowing the vehicle, the brakes can do so much more effectively, better, and in a shorter distance. In other words, once the brakes are being used properly, keeping the rear wheel engaged to the transmission/engine will actually INCREASE the stopping distances.
I have no idea how/why you think that a 'slide-out' when stopping is a likely hazard when disengaging the clutch. There are times when a rapid weight shift (such as one that comes from the inappropriate use of the clutch) is not a good idea. But when someone is stopping in a 'panic' or emergency situation, rapidly disengaging the clutch will lead to shorter stopping distances.
