  of coz mus see skid to wad extend,if can pull back one then ok,but if going to buang already then no choice lor
  
  aiya regardgin ur choice thing,its up to the individual
  but it can be avoided,jus go slower on rainy days, but wrist control is hard la, got one time i from behind the stop line skid into the yellow box n stop in the the middle yellow box,somemore red liao, then the van at the opp road to turning coz green arrow
  then mus e brake coz my bike jus skid inside
  i look back n ask myself y was i going at 100kmh on a rainy day, as i said already lor,can be avoided one lor
  
  of coz tyres make a difference
  soft compounds tyres r more stickier when heated up,my battlax use to have sand,dirt,leaves stuck to it
  
  but end of it,i still feel its the rider that makes a difference

  for my info, whether how good ur tyre is makes no diff when it meets a rainy day.(no offence, just discussion). anyway talk about in dry condition. Front brake must be use more than the rear brake. moreover, depending on ur speed. the faster u go the more front brake should be using more pressure than the readr brake. i mean i m refering to going straight line la. for example: if u are travelling in 100-120km/h rite. percentage for front and rear should be approx. 70% and 30% respectively. However, what i think is the experience that counts la... :>

  in real life,i think tyres make a small difference
  
  if u compare an aprilia wif 150 rear and 110 front using gd soft compund tyres
  
  and a rxk using worn out n small tyres
  
  i would say the rxk is more prone to skidding
  
  i forgot to mention size does matter do,coz of the contact area wif the ground
  
  for me, normal propotion is 70 to 30, but when raining i use maybe 50 -50 coz becoz i got experiece of my front skidding too,n that is worse than my rear skidding
  
  maybe the differece maybe small among similar bikes,but i still feel it is an important tool for effective braking

  e_brake using cdc's yamaha zeal real sucks.... supposed to use 70% front and 30% rear brake to stop.... but the engine seems to stall whenever the rear brake is depressed...
  
  my fren who got his licence at ssdc say the super 4 doesnt have dis problem...i wander wats wrong wif the zeal.... is it my skill lan or the bike got problem.... wen getting 2B my e_brake was one of my best...
