Thats because people learn 70/30 from the MSF but that is not an appropriate ratio on a sportbike. You want a ratio around 90/10-100/0 but less than 10% of force coming from the rear brake is a difficult thing to gauge right? Hell even engine braking is enough to account for that. Its why there are members on here who put ****** brake pads on their rear brake, so that in the event they use it, they don't use too much. I prefer to opt out altogether. The minimal amount of braking distance that the rear brake might contribute is not worth the risk posed of it locking up.
Anyway, I think I'll go do some tests of stopping distances with and without it and see what I can come up with. I'll take note of the video that you did and be sure that mine is unbiased.
