What owners report
MY FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER COMPLETELY LOST PRESSURE AND THE ABILITY TO SLOW DOWN THE MOTORCYCLE. I AM FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS MANUFACTURED BY BREMBO. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE SAME MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT AFFECTED THE 2015 AND 2016 KTM 1290 SUPERDUKE R MOTORCYCLES, WHICH HAVE AN OPEN RECALL ON THE SAME BREMBO MASTER CYLINDER. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE 2014 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THIS BIKE NEW, THE FRONT BRAKES WOULD "GROAN" AS YOU WHEELED THE BIKE AROUND AS IF THE BRAKE PADS WERE NOT RETRACTING / PISTONS STICKING. THERE WOULD ALSO BE A LOW SPEED PULSING TO THE BRAKES AS IF THE ROTOR WAS WARPED (WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME IN DECADES OF RIDING). THIS CONTINUED TO GET WORSE UNTIL THE ROTORS WERE DEFINITELY WARPED. I TOOK THE BIKE TO MY DEALER AND KTM REFUSED TO COVER REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE BIKE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING ISSUE. I PAID TO REPLACE THE PADS AND ROTORS, AND NOW, WITH NEW ROTORS AND PADS, I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE SUPERDUKE FORUM ONLINE, THIS IS A
