What owners report
MOTORCYCLES REAR BRAKE POWER IS VERY POOR AND IN MANY REPORTED CASES NON-EXISTANT. THE REAR BRAKE IS SO WEAK AS TO BE NORMALLY INCAPABLE OF EVEN ACTIVATING THE ABS SYSTEM AT THE REAR WHEEL. STOPPING THE MOTORCYCLE USING THE REAR BRAKE IS EFFECTIVELY IMPOSSIBLE IN NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. I HAVE A DEGREE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND HAVE BEEN A MOTORCYCLE RIDER FOR OVER 50 YEARS. I AM QUALIFIED AND ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS REAR BRAKE AS POORLY DESIGNED AND INCAPABLE OF PRODUCING PROPER STOPPING POWER. THE BRAKE HAS BEEN PROPERLY BLED, ABS SYSTEMS PROPERLY PRIMED AND BLED, ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY BRAKE FLUIDS HAVE BEEN USED (I.E. CASTROL SRF), THE VERY POOR BRAKING POWER PERSISTS. THIS
THE REAR BRAKE FLUID WILL TURN A DARK COLOR AFTER LESS THAN 1000 MILES OF HAVING BEEN REPLACED AND BLED. THIS RENDERS THE REAR BRAKE ALMOST USELESS. THE REAR PEDAL WILL FEEL SPONGY AT FIRST, THEN I START TO NOTICE A LACK OF REAR BRAKING PERFORMANCE. IF I LEAVE IT FOR MORE THAN 1500 MILES WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE, I WILL LOSE ALL REAR BRAKING PERFORMANCE/FUNCTION.
