I think you should also practice hard stopping on your bike to try and get a feel of the breaks and how much pressure you can safely apply to the front. Start out normal breaking and slowly work up to more and more pressure on the front until you get the feel of what is safe. Thing is the 250s they supply are good practice but won't help you get the feel for your bike.
