“The rear brake went out twice. I had it fixed under warranty in september of 2013. Now it is out of warranty and the rear brake is out again. The company refuses to fix the issue till I pay out of pocket first. The rear brake pedal travels to the floor with no bite at all. I've read on forums that I am not the first to have this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10638891, filed 2014-09, 8,000 miles“Riding on level road, cruising about 40 MPH. Front brakes lock and would not release. This pitched me over the handle bars, I.e. Stoppie. The problem was the rear brake pads disappeared and the remaining rear pad backing plate caused over heating of rear rotor and rear master cylinder. Red hot. Boiled fluid. Upon cool down, (me and the Ducati) front brakes released and bike was able to move but without rear brakes. May be a problem with ABS or traction control. Bike is still at shop with replacement of pads, rotor and master. …”
NHTSA complaint #10595840, filed 2014-06, 9,400 miles“Rear brake pedal unexpectedly soft. Brakes bled in accordance with manufacturer recommendations and fluid use (DOT5.1). Brake regains firmness, but quickly looses effectiveness and becomes soft, limiting braking capability. Alternate bleeding method also attempted with similar results. Brake pedal will remain firm for some time, but then returns to soft feel, creating unexpected braking performance.”
