MT09 brakes question

[Val]

Hello people,

I have 2014 MT09 no ABS. Under light heavy braking with the front brake the back wheel is swerving and sliding. I have used in the past on my Fazer FZS600 to brake much more harder before I experience this. Also the feeling was more better and the back wheel lock was wau much more controllable. Granted the Fazer is heavier bike.

Is that sound normal to you under heavy braking or I need to look at some issue?

Sounds normal to me, the rear brake on the MT is fairly powerful and easy to lock up. Maybe try firming up the front suspension, this will stop it transferring more weight to the front
