A lot of us have mentioned that a parking brake would be a nice feature. The new LE models have a feature called 'hill start assist'. When you are stopped on a hill, push this button, it locks up the brakes for 4-5 seconds allowing you to move your foot over to the gas pedal without worrying about sliding backwards. I've used this feature on mine and it works great. I'm just not sure I'll remember my bike has this feature. I'm accustomed to just using my left foot to hold the brake.
Anyway, does anyone know how this feature actually works? I'm thinking maybe it's possible to tap into it and use it as a parking brake? I'm assuming it's electrical and not a mechanical system since it disengages after a few seconds.
