So I just picked up a used WR250x since I like to change up my riding styles every few years and looking for some insight on the front brakes. I just sold a 800lbs cruiser and could slam on the front brake at anytime without any worries of ill effects. I rode my WR250x for the first time today at lower speeds to start getting used to the bike and man the front brake seams very strong for this light weight bike. I started trying panic stop drills to test the feel of the brakes and kinda scared myself a bit when I tried pulling the front brake hard at about 30mph.
So my question is since this bike is so light can I get myself into trouble (meaning flipping over the front) if I need to stop very quickly at higher speeds ?
I already adjusted the front fork a bit to control some of the brake dive but have never ridden a bike this light before.

Front brake it quite good - but not scary good.

Many like to improve things with a steel braided line.

The X will stoppie great. Look at some stunting video.

Any 300 pound bike will feel drastically different than an 800 pound cruiser.

You'll get used to it.

Keep practicing. Enjoy.

Just have a look at those two links in my signature. Need to use google translate.
