Bad rear brake...

(LeeFL2 @ Jul. 02 2007,13:52) I don't get people who say not to use the rear brake.

 

IT is there to be USED. Along with front and engine breaks.

Granted, you should know what you are doing not only in the rear brake department, but in all aspects of motorcycle operation.

I use my rear all the time and use it lightly at that. Let's say 20% front and 80% rear.

When downshifting and using front and rear together, you can scrub speed faster than any other way.

hope you mean 80% front and 20% rear.
