2014: “The rear brake has never worked properly. Basically, it's useless. I have turned the caliper upside down so the bleed nipple is facing upwards so that any air in the lines will be removed when I change the fluid. I have even used racing brake fluid to no avail. The rear brake has to be pumped a couple of times and them it may engage enough to cause some drag and slowing. This has occurred since I've owned the mc, which I purchased new. …”
