So you missed statement I made where in my B12 dosen't lock up the rear? and now that I think about neither did my ZZR1100. The rear brake on the fazer 600/1000 has always been overkill, plain and simple. I have been making a concious effort to reduce the amount of rear brake I use, but slagging of my or someone else's riding skill is pointless. There is no way to gauge how long it will take for said 'concious effort' to translate into emergency situations, if at all.
In the meantime I still need to get around to moving the lever, checking the brake disc for true and changing the rear pads.
Your Fazer doesn't lock the rear, you do, and the fact that you think it is a brake or bike problem is why your technique is being criticized. Yes it is possible that you have a problem with your brake, and you have been told how to check it, but when you say something as silly as "There is no way to gauge how long it will take for said 'concious effort' to translate into emergency situations[/size][size=78%]", it makes it difficult to take you seriously. How long it will takes is directly related to how hard you practice. [/size]Deliberately[size=78%] practice doing it right until you don't have to think about it and you have a chance of doing it right when you don't have time to think about it. Don't practice and you have no chance. [/size]
