It is more like a function of speed, road surface and the amount of braking needed. There's no limitation, you could be rolling along slowly down-slope in first gear if you wanted.

Obviously, if you wanted to use first gear, you should be at a low speed that you are capable of achieving in that gear! Ideally, you would have already tried second gear and found that the bike is still moving too fast downhill - and then move to first.

Jumping to first gear from a high gear at high speed can be catastrophic for the gearbox, the bike and most importantly, it's rider.

I would like to know what is Engine Braking?

Cutting down the gears one by one which holds the engine within the particular gear shifted consequently reducing the speed of the vehicle.

Has anybody installed rear disk brake in cbz xtreme?
If yes, please brief about performance.
I'm satisfied with my stock drum brakes now, previously had a problem.

instead of rear DB go for bigger front disk.... much greater braking power and looks as well .. there are pics of bikes with ZMA disk so it can be done .. its cheaper as well..

This seems like a nice add-on at first glance. I however have some misgivings about the product. It possibly operates on the principle of reducing hydraulic pressure to the brake calipers. This will probably come into play when line pressure exceeds a certain point, by constricting brake fluid flow by incorporating a nozzle.

How does it perform for regular braking that involves lower pressure? Does it take away some of the bite and feel even when the brakes are used normally?

These sort of products needs testing & certification from a competent authority before being sold to the mass public.

I wonder why the Saferide ABS product is available only to Indian customers? Only for online Indians, but the prices are in US$. Is thia imported then? Are we the ideal bakras?

No offence to the folks at BI, but I'd like to see some actual data from Saferide. I simply see a load of poorly written marketing text and a bunch of pictures of installations on our bikes.

Here is a sample of the text explaining the ABS concept, which clearly talks about cars, not motorcycles and seems to be lifted off the web:

Does this thing even cause the 'pulsing'? Seems unlikely.

Hello

I have been using this product from the last 5000kms.
Installing this does not mean that bike will not fall--
the only thing that it does is prevent from wheel to get locked under urjent hard braking.

it gives more control while braking and rest depends on the driver how he controls the vehicle
