Ugh. Indeed, the rear brake is very good at locking up - I have noted this challenging behavior at 2 classes and during parking lot practice. At least I haven't panicked whenever I've feel the drift and slide and let go of the brake...

Thank you for the detailed information on making the adjustment!

Adjusting the linkage below the cylinder as described seemed to allow a more gradual engagement. Mine is backed off low enough it takes a bit of effort to lock the back wheel. It has excellent stopping power, with a more comfortable riding position and more progressive feel.
