Engine braking - rear wheel lock ups - Page 3 - SV650.org

Also please note that there are both curvy and pointy anvils and you'll need the right one depending on the year of your bike.

I just use the brakes and leave it in whatever gear until she's doing the speed I want, then I take her down through the gears. Sometimes (though I tend to avoid it for obvious reasons) this is as I enter the bend, or as I'm going through the bend... the torque means you can be a couple of gears too high and the engine will still pull.

Leaving the gear changes until later means that if I go into the corner and it's tighter/less tight than I first thought, I'm changing to the gear I actually need, not hoping to get the right gear then having to change it again when I realise the corner is slightly different to my first impression. Or maybe I just like doing one thing at a time

Repeat after me, you cannot lock the rear wheel with engine braking...

I suspect he has the same one that everyone else with an SV has, it's fully adjustable and is controlled by a lever fitted to the left handlebar.

Only if you're stalled, and that doesn't count

There's a company making a production slipper for the SV now, if anyone's interested... IIRC it's around $900US though.

I think JHS sell them as well or atleast was looking to. I'll stick with the standard one though

i dunno what all this engine breaking milarky thing is all about....

i personally dont get it and i ride hard (or so the missus says)

i went from a gs500f with engine breaking and never got caught out on that too.... to be honest theres no diferance....

the only time i notice it is when i am riding in to low of a gear to start with.....

i am wondering if the noobs notice it more cos the bikes got lots more power and torque then the das bike they learn on....

i noticed that teh bike i did my das on was lots more under powered, but i realised the same gearing aint gonna work on a bigger bike....

possibly, but i didn't do das so its been a straight jump from 125!
