slipper works great on the buell, but can get a touch of chatter from 2 to 1.
I have done it on the SV before, mostly fucking around though, but a couple times accidently. |

I always seemed to lock up the rear when I down shift when at a stop light... never bugged me... never really thought about it...

That's how I initiate a slide on the SMC. Do it all the time.

You really should practice locking the rear brake too. I panic stopped for a University bus that suddenly pulled over and THEN hit its lights last week. My rear brake locked the tire and sent me into a severe fish tail that I ultimately had to release all brake pressure and overun into the oncoming lane.

It's getting better very slowly. I've got months of therapy still ahead. I had a goal of being able to ride out to the EOSB but I don't think I'll be able to work the throttle and brake by then.

Ive always tried to avoid locking the rear or shifting to fast causing hop or chatter. I use the front break to square off a corner.
