Damn man sorry to hear about that My best friend wrecked his 01 Honda 929 2 days after he bought it, because the front brake locked up. Another friend of mine wrecked an 03 RC51 about a month ago from the rear brakes locking up........ :thinking: something tells me Honda needs to rethink their sportbike brakes because there must be a problem with them.

 

i doubt there's a problem with them....braking is an overlooked skill when riding.

 

No man I am not talking about rider error, Both of them the brakes just locked up for no reason at all. Neither of them were even touching the brakes when it happened. Both are experienced riders (one of them drag races with me) so it was not a beginers mistake.

 

A lot of people actually do not or rarely use the rear brake.

I still do though...but I admit to needing to practice panic stops more often. h:

 

Its becuase 75% of the braking power is in the front

 

100%, provided the traction is good

 

wow I am sorry to hear about your accident. You are definetly very lucky :thumbup:

 

im glad you're ok.

ive had a concussion twice before. they suck. i used to get dizzy and lightheaded a lot for a few weeks afterwards. they always told me that was normal. i hope you get to feeling better.

 

I fell backwards rollerblading once... no helmet.. head took all the force. :a: But.. it wasn't a severe concussion... mild. I must have a thick head. :happysad:

 

I don't know about you guys but when I learned, I was taught to use the rear brakes most of the time and to use the front in an emergency.
