very interesting discussion..many different answers and explanations...diverse like our member pool...ANYWAY..
i use a combination of front and rear brake the majority of the time. for slow manuvering, like transitioning forward from a complete stop, i'm on the rear brake. someone said previously its all in the feel, and i completely agree.
when i rode my 700 interceptor, a buddy and i went to an empty stadium parking lot and did some braking manuvers to aquaint ourselves better with the characteristics and stopping power of front, rear and both. this really helped understand limits and how the cycle reacted to each.
we also understood that to keep pressure applied when performing these runs would end in disaster! that lady who did the tripple gainer off the 200cc platform at the msf course is a fine example of that.
