Ok heres what my service manager said.....
Me: Hi B. J., wonder if you'd have time to test ride my bike?
SM: Your new one? What's the problem?
Me: It's the rear brakes. They don't seem to be working very well. They won't stop me, they will only slow me down, very slowly.
SM: Does it feel like a bleed problem ie: loss of pedal pressure.
Me: No
SM: is there any discoloration in the rotor
Me: No, they just won't bring the bike to a stop, they will only slow it down.
SM: In all likelihood your pads are glazed, they need to be removed, laid on a flat piece of glass covered in sandpaper and glaze removed.
They couldn't do it today or tomorrow. Since I am leaving on a trip with it Monday, I will deal with it when I get back home.
