MaverickPrince when you hit your brakes you hit the clutch too? Or you use engine breaking as well? If that is that case where you use engine braking than it could be the chain locking up because you are going to stall-out because your rear brake is locked in.

Dont' think anyone can say it better than Keith Code. If you don't know who he is I recommend you do some reading up on his site.

i am reading a lil on this site, and they seem to be doing alot of talking about downshifting in corners... can you please clarify as i was taught (msf) to not brake/downshift in the corner by the time you enter the corner you speed should already be matched and you should be accelerating through the corner

Your downshifting should be done by the time you hit the turning point. For safety reasons, your shouldn't shift in a turn it should be done even before you countersteer to start to tip the bike in. Any racers wanna comment on timing?

And all your braking.
