No rear brake again

Yes sir. YOU have to apply the rear brake pressure. Then, if the angle is sufficient and you activate the front brake while exerting rear brake pressure the Hill Hold will activate trapping that pressure you applied to assist holding the bike at that angle. The front lever just activates the ECM logic for things to happen given the proper inputs. No magic involved.
I teated this yesterday. You don't have have to apply the rear brake to engage hill hold. It will do it with only the front brake applied.
 
I found my Hill Hold wouldn't let go no matter how much power I applied with the motor, so I quit using it. The only way to disengage it was to kill the engine and then restart. I could spend a bunch of money with the dealer's tech to sort, but not using it is free. I could disable it and then reenable and see if that fixes it but so far hasn't been an issue riding around. Plus I'm lazy........
