yeah, deff want to start from almost a dead stop with clutch in and you'll notice what I mean. With the idle up, it will force you to use the brake and that is you building block to work off of this week. =)

That's the best way to do it- it took me a couple weeks and a few scars on my fiddy, but it really helped me out on my ex500

Re: How To Actually Use The Rear Brake

thanks for your posts guys. Good read

I've used it, but just makes the bike slam down hard as hell. I know where to use it, but I just straight freeze, and do the "float" as was said in the other posts.
