Dumb Linking Brakes Question on the 1200VFR

on the 1200VFR do I have the linking brakes operation figured out correct?

1. press rear brakes: links to front brakes both sets applied.

2. pull front brakes: uses only the front brakes.

OR

3. pull front brakes: links to rear brakes both sets applied.

So far it feels like when you pull the front brakes they don't link to the rear but when I search for the correct answer it seems that there are conflicting answers. I've been practicing my full stops at speed, all I can say is wow on the stopping power of the brake setup.

Thank you,

Jeff

 

the front link to the rear, so when you hit the rear it applies the front brake.
press front, applies pressure to the rear.

 

High-performance brakes
The VFR1200F is equipped with the most highly developed brake technology for all-round sports bike use. Powerful new six-piston calipers act on large discs (320mm at the front and 276mm at the rear). A Combined Braking System creates the optimal balance of front and rear braking forces. The addition of a standard-fit compact and lightweight ABS supports both the motorcycle’s sports riding potential and its touring proficiency.

they are still linked together

 

Braking performance is another area of excellence, with the triple-disc sets providing outstanding power and standard anti-lock control. Graybeards may fear ABS, but they shouldn’t, as these modern systems are minimally invasive. Nor should they gripe about Honda’s linked brake system in which the brake pedal activates two pistons in the left front 6-piston caliper; it’s not linked front to rear.

my bad, reg you are correct.

I guess the best way to find out is see if there are 2 lines on the rear caliper.

 

hmmm I can do burnouts w/ my 6th gen no prob.
if the front wheel is not rotating then you will not get pressure to the rear brakes

 

Thank you all I just wanted to make sure I had it right, Honda should of put that picture in the owners manual.

 

The brake pedal gives you about 15 percent braking on the front. (2 of 12 pisons) the brake lever has no link to the rear.
