There is no isolated proportion valve.

Front / rear split system, the master cylinder is the proportion control.

Majority stopping power is roughly 75% FRONT brakes.

Alert: Brake pedal height is 75% REAR, and stopping power roughly 25% rear brakes.

For Safety: Always bleed front brakes first = 75%, then rear 25% + pedal height.

FYI: Critical functions = STEERING + BRAKES, everything else is inconvenient irritating or frustrating.

Have a great day.
