Living The Dream
I've been riding my '06 FJR almost exclusively for the last 6 years and I've apparently developed a bad habit. When I come into a corner too hot, I tend to use the rear brake to scrub off excess speed. It doesn't make the front end dive and with the ABS you can't lock up the rear wheel. Now, with my new speed triple (no ABS) when I use the rear brake in turns the rear locks up VERY easily. I think I've developed a "lead foot" and I'm having a difficult time modulating the rear brake. I've had several "oh shit" moments when the rear tire locks up and jumps out of line. I'm almost ready to remove the rear brake pedal. The Brembo brakes on the triple have incredible stopping power I just need to relearn my braking technique.
Anyone else struggle with this issue?
