You should!
I think Shaun meant that he goes for the front first and then the rear.
The KLE's stock front brakes are sh*te, so I was advised to use sintered pads on the front and normal pads on the back to help get the bias right. Even with this mod and a braided hose fitted, I still think the front is a little weak.
With regards to foot position on the brake pedal, I broke my ankle many moons ago and find it uncomfortable to ride with my foot over the pedal, so I just leave it on the peg and move it onto the pedal when required. I'm not sure whether that's correct procedure, but I've never missed the pedal or got to it too late - to the contrary, I've locked the rear on a couple of occasions, but less said about that...
Good luck with the KLE.
