Stopping?

No it's not

Combination of front brakes and clutch work well for me.

Well it is for pretty much everyone else. Modulating the front brake lever at the same time as turning a throttle is so much harder than just throttling on and easing off the rear brake.

I was talking to a driving instructor, he told me (this is true for cars too) that what the testing officer does and what the police should be doing is watching your bike for the stop as they watch for when the suspension goes down and then back up at the front. (Think he said suspension, but 100% sure they look for the front of the bike to return up)

But unless you're coming to a hard stop, you're taught to ease off the front brake an use the rear brake only at low speed. This prevents the front end dipping/pogoing and gives you more control of the steering.

to make it a bit more interesting....

i put my right foot down at stop signs.. an old thumper where the rear brake is on the right side. ie: brake lever on the left and gear lever on the right

I put my left foot in I put my right foot out I do the hokey tokey and I shake it all about.

Have seen that move-not flash.

Ask the tester what is required at stops re feet,maybe say you use left leg on ground so right is on rear brake to ensure stopping is achieved.
