.060 Over
With the front lever doing 60/40, u get maximum weight transfer on the front double discs which do have the most stopping power, just like on a car. Cars always put theI still after all this don't know if you use both lever AND pedal when braking.
Some have said just using lever is fine, manual, as I pointed out repeatedly, says otherwise. Just curious.
larger discs on the front wheel for that reason. I think the manual is a little ambiguous in its explanation. A for instance would be coming into a corner at speed, you would want
to feather the front brake lightly, AND use additional light braking for the rear to stay out of a slide situation. Using just the rear brakes in a hard corner will cause the
back end to want to come around on you.. Not a good feeling. By using both brakes lightly, you change the equation from 60/40 to closer to 50/50 if u add additional rear braking.
If this wasnt the case, you would be able to bleed the entire system using just one caliper at the rear.
I think this thread got started because of poor tire wear on the rear. Using a lot of rear braking causes double wear leaving the front tire nearly perfect which isnt a good idea
as you should replace both front and rear at the same time. Its expensive but thats what they recommend. A front tire with 25% wear, and a brand new rear tire at 100%
isnt a good combination in wet conditions, as one tire with the least tread depth will kick out first.
They only put grooved tread on tires for wet conditions. Factory Racing bikes use super soft slicks.
During a race notice they ALWAYS put on two tires no matter the wear.
