it seems that TH has forgotten that there is also a rear brake on the bike. In India road conditions vary like hell. which means you cannot have text book braking lessons. the theory of front wheel creating a grip may be true on good even roads but not so for the real Indian type roads most has to drive on. track, good super highways and normal city roads call for different braking combos of front and may be rear.
it may be wise to do tap release to slow the bike combined with the rear brake rather than gradual pull especially in a panic situation as gradual pull my end up in wheel locking.
some pro's (world champs) braking tips have completely forgotten the rear brake even saying it as a waste.
with considerable riding behind him blue volts method is what he uses and found to be good in the real roads that he has been through. so it is one method you can use the way it suits you.
create your own custom menu from all the lessons on braking. that's what will work best in an emergency.
