I've been dealing with rear brakes issues for awhile now. When I bought my '06 new, the rear brake pedal was pretty firm when I applied the brake. With 12,000 miles on the bike now, the pedal started getting softer and traveling farther when I apply the brakes. I put on new EBC HH pads and have bled the lines twice now. I took it to a Yamaha dealership and they said they had never seen a problem like that, but that they also seldom see a Vmax so their not sure how brake travel there should be. When I apply the rear break, the pedal travels maybe 3" down, but never really firms up. I can skid the rear tire, but I have to mash on it. So, how firm is your rear brake pedal and how far does it travel?
