Re: Hand brake

what's easier to use the regular one or should i get the thumb. When i'm in a wheelie i never use my back brakes because i don't feel comfortble trying to hit the rear brake with my foot.

honestly, you should learn footbrake control even BEFORE you GET a HB, because the HB is harder to use/get used to.

dont even bother with a thumb brake, they dont generate enough braking force (or at least i haven't seen one yet that can)

learn foot brake control FIRST by turning your idle to 3K, popping it up in first gear, rock it back and try to get it to stay on the Balance point. be SMOOTH with the throttle, if its going back too far, roll of the throttle some and scrub with the rear brake to keep you from looping.

good luck and let us know how it goes
