Need help...Rear Brake no respond...

[Davin]

I just got my new ride today and I tried the rear brake and it doesn't respond even if stepped hard...is it the cause of new brake shoe or got problem with the setting....by the way my ride is CBR 1000

chances are the brake shoes have not eat in onto the disc yet ... ride faster and use the rear brake only ... it will help to hasten the breaking in of the rear brakes ...

 

how i know??? well becos I bought 2 2nd hand sportsbikes both with less than 20,000kms on them and guess what ... the previous owners have not even break in the rear brakes yet ... using the rear brakes on sportbikes can be awkward a bit for normal riding thats why not many people use them actually ...

Really thanks to you bro...my rear brakes are starting to kick in...can feel them slowing me down already when I apply them...will continue to break in the rear...
