Twice now in a week I've had to slow down suddenly and my rear wheel has started to slide and lose traction. The first time was my cemented-headed fault where I decided to take my eyes off the road and was about to slam into the back of a car stopped at freeway onramp light...a light I thought wasn't going to be active for the time of day....so looked up and squeezed the brakes hard (front and rear) and the bike started swerving in the rear so I let up off of them and luckily was able to go around the stopped car but bike almost went down.
Then today going about 65 tried to suddenly slow down for a yellow light and the same thing happened so I went through it....I actually shouldn't have slowed down but noticed a cop sitting at the other light...which is why I initially didn't hammer through the yellow.
My Wing and XX never did this stuff when I braked hard.
This is the lightest bike I've ever had....anyone else have the rear get unsettled during hard braking? It's not very confidence inspiring. :?
