recently my rear brake lever like v hard to press down...

sometime it`s smooth

but sometimes it`s STUCK

and i`ve press pretty hard to brake the rear..

 

last time 08 09 models were recalled for some rear brake thing

couild it be the reason??

 

Kawasaki is recalling GTR1400 tourers for work on the area around the rear brake pedal.

 

Owners of machines that require the modification are being contacted and asked to contact their local franchised Kawasaki dealer in order to arrange the fitting of a new part.

 

The reason for the recall is that, on some units of GTR1400 under certain riding conditions, a small stone could become trapped between the rear brake master cylinder rod and rear brake pedal.

 

This can prevent the rear brake from fully releasing and, in the most extreme circumstance, cause the rear brake to overheat and possibly lock the rear wheel.

 

The repair consists of installing a rear brake pedal cover which will take around 20 minutes to complete. Kawasaki dealers will be carrying out the necessary work free of charge.

what tires do you intend to change.. please stay away from Pilot Pure.. theres a friend of mine that got both its front and rear tire tire exploded and tore into two from the middle section in JB whilst riding his busa.. im unsure how that happens.. my presumption is that he probably pump in too much air and as the tire heated up it then exploded. .. sighs im using Pilot pure nad love it.. but this incident makes me wanna change my tire.. any tire you guys recommend?

Z3U5:

 

Maybe it's the tire valve & not the tire that caused the explosion?
