Regarding the rear brakes, I think they do just fine. Have I locked them up? NO and I do not plan on locking them up. Like it was mentioned before, the rears are not for main stopping power on your bike.
hmm Lets see, rear brakes count for 30% of your braking power... The other 70% is supposed to come from the front...
If you are mainly using that rear brake for stopping... I removed my comment...
*shaking my head though*
I just had to quote this from Thumper... why, if your not using your rear brake would you get an ABS equipped bike? The ABS applies the front when you apply the rear brakes. Not the other way around... or does it? If it is flipped around then you are using the rear...
