Glad your ok. But......I always hear of people speaking of useing their rear brake ALOT. 80% of stopping power is from the front brake ! Even in wet conditions...applying the front brake and then alittle rear along w/ engine brakeing can stop you in a hurry. I don't mean to be ragging on you...it;s just a pet peev of mine when I hear or see someone useing more back break than the front.
When I was in the American Sport Bike Association a loooonnggg time ago, we used to practice panic/emergency brakeing w/ ONLY our front brake.You would be surprised how fast you can stop, even when locking up your front tire.This technique also teaches you to let off when you feel your front tire locking up and to remain upright. Anyways......hope all is well and you get your scoot back to the way she was
