Very unsafe bike, poor control

I am using this bike for almost 6yrs now. The one thing which I really don't like or hate is the control of vehicle on braking. I have been driving bike for almost 11 yrs and this was my second bike. I almost had a close shave with an accident and my vehicle skid atleast once a year. The servicing has to be judiciously followed with regular check on breaking, I tried to resolve by changing the tyres, disc brakes, consulted service guys but all failed. Only comment I get from service guy, you have to use 60% back brake and 40% front brake. I dont know how people can follow this judiciously, it means you will skid with bikes.


The front wheel skids even with a slight stress on front brake. I am just waiting for another 3 years to sell of my bike and invest on a alternative new bike/scooter. If this is true for all disc brake bikes then I would rather quit driving two wheelers since scooter is more risky than bikes on the roads. I sometimes feel my old 1st bike is far better than this as there is nothing important than safety.


Any suggestions from fellow members are welcome..
