What is the car equivalent of the Yamaha R1? basically if the R1 were a car, what car would it be?
I generally dont use the rear brake. I originally learned how to ride on dirt and used the rear brake alot. I dont want to get into a panic situation on the street and stomp on the rear brake so I tend to not use it.At the track some use the rear brake for trail braking (not me because I'm not that good yet). by using the rear brake you take some stress off of the front tire (if you were using the front brakes) while leaned over. Trail braking in a turn changes makes the front steeper, enabling you to turn sharper as well as scrub off speed.

Absolutly.Wiring diagram for a 1975 Suzuki ts250...?
The FASTEST a sportbike can stop Requires the use of both front and rear in a linear fashion. Meaning when you First start the braking process, you use 90% rear and 10% front, and quickly change those percentages to 90% front and 10% rear. Most people Already do this with the front brake (if they don't, they'd be locking the front wheel and crashing), adding the rear will reduce the total braking distance a noticeable amount.

Hell yes I do. Its 30% of your stopping power... It is a great way to tighten a cornering line if youre going in a little hot... It also helps settle the suspension as you are entering a turn. I hit my rear brake about a second before I get on the fronts to balance the bike's suspension while entering a turn at high speed...I mainly use the front brakes.
I apply the front first then I apply the rear.
Just old habit.

My old fzr600 has a custom made swingarm and I have never gotten the back brakes to work with a new line so Ive adapted to not using back at all.Now i have an F4 and Im trying to use the back now but its hard to get used to.btw...the fzr is for sale if anyone wants to ride without a back brake..lol bikepics.com/members/teamneonWhat is the cheapest website to buy alpinestars? (besides ebay)?
I use both although the beemer isn't exackly a sport bike. It's the best way to stop. You also want to know what the rear feels like so when it's raining and you want to lean on the rear a bit more, you have a good feel for it. I also keep it applied when I'm stopped so a cager might MIGHT notice me if he come up behind me at a light (stop light will be on). If you are in the habit of using the rear at a stop, it helps out alot when starting out going uphill, your right hand will be free to just run the throttle, no screwing around with the front brake lever and throttle, will seem very seamless and natural if you are in this habit.More Questions & Answers ...
