drag brake?

learning slow shat...

i find myself draging the brake to keep it slow. with more or less pressure the whole time(pedleing it)

IS THAT RIGHT OR AM I A BIT HEAVY on the throttle?

Its not bad for the wheelie, but it is bad for the brakes. It'll heat up the fluid and the rotor faster than normal. Its better just to tap the brake then let off. I always catch myself riding it too.

Re: drag brake?

i was like that really bad when i was on stock gearing. with bigger gears its a bit easier to stay off it, but i still catch myself riding it sometimes. i guess being on my 3rd set of pads and second rotor this year is good proof of that.

Re: drag brake?

Isn't there a some sort of brake fluid you can use with a higher boiling point?
