quick brake question was created by donthaveakawman
I put grease under the rubber stops on the brake calipers and it is pretty tight so the back brake has me worried.
my simple non mathematical mind is wondering if the back brake is sticking will the chain pull me into a wheelie via frame torque?

Um... No! Ur caliper bracket has a brace to the frame,right? N ur rotor turns the same as ur sprocket,right? Try holding ur back brake & dumping the clutch!!

Try this:
Push your bike out on a grassy lawn. Grab a bunch of pillows off your bed and line them up on either side of your bike. Set up a video recorder, preferably HD. Fire up your bike and let it warm up. Start recording video. Don your helmet. Mount the bike. Grab some clutch and shift her into 1st. Stand on the rear brake pedal, and I mean stand on it. Give her some gas and dump the clutch. If she pops a wheelie, post the video on YouTube and wait for the Google checks to start rolling in. You will soon be an internet star (beyond your KZr infamy). Go back and pick up the bike, take her into the garage and remove the rear brake system as they are generally unnecessary in most street riding conditions.
