Deleting the rear brake

[Jester]

The last thing you wanna do is run off track and not have a rear brake.  You ever hit dirt or (worse) wet grass at 70mph and tried to use your front?  It ain't pretty.  Trust me.

I've run off track a few times coming into a corner too hot.  You'll be missing that rear brake when you try to slow down running in the weeds.  Its just not safe... and has other uses on track as stated above.

last time I ran off track in the wet grass...the rear brake caused me to start to flattrack the damn bike sideways until it tossed me like a ragdoll...but the photo dude caught most of it on film in it's unflattering glory...

in reality...I shoulda just slowly steered the bike back toward the track and gone back on....but I was thinking I was going too fast and had to scrub speed in order to do it in the grass without problem....

but that was a combination of too much rear brake because mine is actually fully functional and works REALLY well and me being so amped that I didn't pay enough attention to how much I shoulda been steppin on it even though I was pulsing it like ABS or something...

usually I use the rear mid corner (if at all-which is usually moreso the case) to, if I am too hot, to modulate a lil bit more speed off and stabilize the rear before giving it some throttle to power out of the apex...helps keep some of that front to back transition of the chassis from happening more noticably

other than running off i have never once touched the rear brake while at the track.  but i would never disable it

If your rear is as sharp as you say it is, then you sir are a brave man. I salute you.

An old flat tracking buddy once told me...

Brakes just slow you down...

If your rear is as sharp as you say it is, then you sir are a brave man. I salute you.

that's why I rarely do it!....it was more of a street habit of many that I found I had to break when on the track...

one time I did it and the rear started to come around on me a little bit just before the apex and I gassed it and pointed it and shot through the rest of the turn with a degree of dirtbike look to how I executed it and checked my shorts when I came into the pits after that session...that was around the 1st time I got the 98 and had it on the track shaking it down to know moreso what I had to deal with...I was glad I had a much more street biased tire set on that bike then (Metzler Sportec M-1's) or the front might have caught more and tossed me highside like in the air...I have done alot of work to that bike to sort it out since then...
