As far as i feel it is rear brakes which control stability If i am right please guide me further on this. If wrong please correct meThanks in Advance
I think 2nd brake, I mean rear controls stability.
Both brakes should be used together. The front system is more powerful since it goes 70% or more of the total braking. The rear can only handle about 30%. To get stable, safe braking requires using both brakes and practice . lots of practice . on different surfaces so you can get an idea of how much front brake to use in different situations. How well can it work when you get the skill learned? I had to stop a 72 Honda CB450 from 30 mph in less than 15 feet and I had a 155 pound passenger behind me when a car pulled out in front of me. We stopped inches from the car.
In the Motorcycle Safety Course I took, we were taught to use 70% front and 30% rear. A lot of people over-brake the rear, skid the bike, then flip to the high side. Your hand is MUCH more nimble to modulate braking than your leg and foot, if you think about it. Unless you bike has anti-locks, your front brake should be your primary braking source.
