Poll: How many are having problems with rear Brakes?

[the Ferret]

Thumper the linked system is only on the abs models. It is easy to test. Put bike on centerstand. Make sure sidestand is up. Start bike. Put it in gear and let out clutch. rear wheel will spin. Pull in clutch and grab front brake lever. If it is linked it will stop or slow the rear wheel. If not they are not linked. If you depress the rear pedal the wheel will stop. Since there is no weight on the rear it stops easily on the stand.

If you want turn off bike and have someone put weight on back getting front wheel off ground. Now manually spin the front. Now depress the rear brake pedal. If you have linked brakes the front wheel will slow or stop. If not no linked brakes.

I just did this test in the driveway. Grabbing front brake has absoluetly no effect on rear wheel spinning. Pushing rear brake has absoluetly no effect on front wheel spinning
