  5. Always, ALWAYS cover your front brake. Looking as statistics like the Hurt findings show that a huge # of accidents are not avoided due to favoring and usually locking up the rear brake with little or no front brake used. At regular speeds the rear brake by itself is nearly useless. Like my track instructor said, "when you're on the street forget about your rear brake, it'll just get you into trouble. Unless you go in the grass, then do the opposite of that." Then as for classes, in my ERC class we were all told to use our full four fingers on the front brake when coming to an emergency stop. I questioned this and just said ok I'll try it. Well, the first time through I grabbed it with two fingers by instict and basically stoppied inside of the box. Most modern bikes don't need any more than a slight tug at the lever to haul you down quickly (HDs a likely exception to that rule). Like #19 said, in the second it takes you to get your hand repositioned you've covered nearly 100 ft and you might be screwed. Steep learning curve for n00bies to learn the sometimes 3x more powerful of the two brakes, but when it comes down to life or death situations I want to be ready with 100% braking power in the split second I need it. Just my .02 cents about your .02 cents. I <3 your Fazer btw.
  6. Mine started with, "WHAT'S YOUR MALFUNCTION?!" and ended with my car on a flat-bed.
