So i went riding today up in gmr and i was coming down the road to a stop sign,and i might have jerked the front brake as i came to a complete stop wich i thought was no no problem, as i put my right foot on the floor to catch the bike leaning to the right my leg starts shaking and i feel my knee giving out on me(wich i do have knee problems but this never happened to me before) and i couldnt handle the weight so i had to lay it down slowly.Lucky for me only thing that scratched was the right mirror.

I prefer to complete a stop from 10-15>0 using only back break if I'm not trying to stop quickly. It upsets the suspension much less. Were you leaning more than usually when your foot was down or did your knee just suddenly give out?

Nothing to worry about, Randy; just jump back in the saddle. :)
