The methods of using clutch-brake while riding a bike change.
first position
If someone comes in front of the bike and suddenly there is a need to apply brakes, then in this situation it is right to press both clutch and brake simultaneously. The clutch and brake are usually used together in an emergency, as this is the most effective way to apply the brakes without damaging the mechanical parts of the bike. However, utmost care should be taken while applying brakes suddenly.
second position
If you are riding a bike at high speed on an empty road and you just need to reduce the speed, then you can slow down the bike by pressing the brake brake without using the clutch. Then if you feel that you have to stop the bike or the speed of the bike has reached the lowest level of the current gear (in which you are moving), then you will have to shift to a lower gear by pressing the clutch. If you do not do this, the bike will stop.
To slow down a high speed bike immediately, you should first press the brake.
third position
If you are riding the bike at normal speed and you feel that the bike needs a little braking, then just pressing the brake will do the trick. There is no need to use clutch for that. Brakes can only be used to slow down the bike or to avoid minor obstacles on the way.
Fourth position
If you are traveling at low speed and need to apply brakes, first press the clutch and then press the brake. Because if you press the brake first then the bike may knock and stop. This can be done while riding in first or second gear. At high speed, brakes should be applied first because if you press the clutch first and the brake later, then there is a risk of the bike slipping.
