Hey Folks:
Just got a 2012 NC and I love it. Nice to ride a bike at 60mph and not be concerned that the buzzing piston are screaming in there. Anyway, the rear brakes feel as tho they are not stopping the bike as they should. Both shoes are moving as I apply the pedal but there is no way that they could get the rear tire to "skid". The pedal feels solid (no air in the line) but I have to use the front brakes to get a quick stop.
I am competent in doing bike repairs but would hesitate to drain the rear brake lines if there is a proportioning valve involved (I'm a former ST 1300 rider). Bleeding the ST was a chore, Is this job on the NC a simple matter? Any ideas on what else to check?
