Rear Brake Adjustrr.ent
The countershaft disc rear brake is the most effective stopping system

Applying the brake has no effect on the suspension. Therefore. those
riders who steer with the rear brake or drag the rear brake will cause
the brake fluid to heat up, which will cause excessive pad wear.
