It's the business-end when it comes to braking.
I use the rear only for slow speed maneuvering and low traction conditions.
With good tires in good conditions, and proper technique, the front brake should unload the rear enough that the tire's contact is minimal - and so is it's braking ability.

In Moto Gymkhana, the key to success is to make sharp turns at as high a speed you can possibly get away with because you are timed. The bike spends most of its time in 2nd gear.
I am not an advanced Gymkhana practitioner yet. So, I'm not at the stage where my skills are good enough to manage an ultra-compressed fork in a turn. Thus, my use of rear brakes for beginners, learning self-steering at speeds in tight corners.
Anyway, the issue is moot, now that the brake fluids were refreshed. No issues this morning with fresh EBC fluids.
