As a new rider (only 1 year under my belt) and having 1 close call this year. I'm determined to improve my riding stills but I want to make sure I'm practicing the correct way. My close call at the Nor-East rally was due to poor braking technique. I applied too much rear brake and no front. The rear wheel broke loose and I all most low sided the bike then all most high sided when I released the brake. Luckily I was able to get the bike under control and avoid an accident.
Now I've been really concentrating on how much front and rear to apply. I want it to become second nature but I want to be sure I'm doing it correctly. I was told to use about 70% front and 30% rear. Also, is there any practice drills that will help ingrain that so in a panic situation I don't revert to auto braking which is all foot.
