the only difference i find is that foot brake is alot more sensitive, so you can't just jam it when you get in a bind cause it slams the bike down and you forward. other than pressure thats only problem i had but i got it in one weekend. still better at hand brake but i force my self to use foot till i got it on lock

I've been doing em with both on passenger too occasionally, just for a litle variation.
Didn't know there was a set guideline.

Re: Learning the Rear Brake!

that's how my new bike is.(06 gixxer with a 905 bar)
I suspect I will just take the seat off, I haven't tried it yet, but that seems to feel good on the stand. just finished the majority of set up on it..need oil p/u, couple hb parts, and gearing, then I'm done.

Re: Learning the Rear Brake!

Foot in bar is harder to balance side to side and fight wobbles which noobs get a lot of with their choppy throttle control. That's something you don't have to worry about on a quad or while sitting on the stand.

Re: Learning the Rear Brake!

Never felt out a new combo transition or something while on the stand? C'mon man, I stood on the bike staggard on the showroom floor to see how it felt.
50 was good at wobble control, but bad for lumberjack wrist.
