I would like to thank everyone in this thread for helping me to change my braking style. I have been using a disk brake for the first time for the past 3-4 months(bought a R15) and therefore didn't have any idea as to the proper way to use it.

I was doing the pumping method till now.close it ...release it....close it.
The bike would dip and then rise.

I have changed it now and I just hold the front brake and squeeze it gradually, till I get the desired results while having the foot slightly on the back brake.Funny part is thats how I used to brake on my splendor.
