Thanks Solorider, I'll give that a go when it's not raining
Not sure I'll bother with the new one, now I know it happens, I'll just dab a bit of rear brake if there's someone up my arse
rjd, yeah, I'm more an engine braking man, so mechanical braking is never very harsh, as such I prefer to use the front brake, much more feel
(although obviously I'll use rear brake in emergency situations/ pillions/ etc.)
Just thought I'd put it out on the forum, other members might wanna check as I've never seen anything about it on here and wasn't sure if they all do that, only having one fazer to hand!
