Rear Brake Fade?
#3
At least 2 members (IIRC) had problems riding their rear brake. At least one overheated the rotor and warped it and, obvously, had to replace it.

Your bike is 4 years old. Brake and clutch fluid should be replaced every 2 years. Doesn’t matter if it was riden or sat in a crate.

Just because your dealer says the brakes are ok doesn’t mean they are. At least 4 members, including me, had air in the rear brake system from the get go. The dealers, including my service manager/head mech, said nothing was wrong. I bled mine and a lot of air came out. One member’s tech didn’t blow him off and flushed and bled the lines. You should flush and bleed yours. Its easy.
