“Rear brake pedal is very soft. With maximum force applied the abs seems to either lock up or fail altogether. The rear brake is very ineffective on this motorcycle.”
“The rear brake is lacking power creating an excessive and excessive stopping distance.

The dealer technical rep indicated that this…”
