Linked Brakes question

[STRaider]

I noticed the other day under heavy rear brake application only, the link between rear and front was really noticeable as the front end would dive. I am typically a hard front braker, with upgraded rotors and pads on the front, rear are stock. Linked system is amazing and knowing how it will act under extreme braking.

Great practice also to do slow and high speed maneuver, very important to understand how the bike will act when you have the real need...Thank you for sharing!

I have to admit, I was caught off guard when the front wheel locked, skidded,and pulled hard to the right from the skid. I would not have been ready for that under duress. Granted, I was experimenting and not operating the brakes as I would normally, but I am much more familiar with the brakes characteristics now. I've practiced braking before, but not just really slamming down on them, front vs back, etc. The linked brakes work great, but it'll be just ABS for me going forward. That was one hesitation of buying this bike, but I do like the bike (a lot) and have not had any issues with the current braking system while on the road.
