[QUOTE="Joburble, post: 1385414, member: 108776"] I just went and checked the Nissin pads I took out and they are like stone! I even tried to push a screwdriver into the face of them (I can't see me using them again anyway) and it barely made a mark. If the new pads don't fix it I am going to remove the direct mechanical link to the back brake master cylinder by removing the locking nut above the brake linkage (and putting a nyloc underneath) and placing either a spring or a softish rubber tube over the thread that goes into the master cylinder. By doing that the pressure to the rear brake will be governed (hopefully) by the stiffness if the spring or rubber and then it becomes a direct mechanical link when the spring or rubber is fully compressed. If that doesn't work I will be doing a pad chop so it has less surface area on the disk. If that doesn't work I will be jumping up and down in my garage with my angry face on, kicking things around the floor while shaking my fists wildly in the air. However, I won't know if the new pads have fixed it until next week. Weight: When I last rode the bike I was 195lbs (I am 6 foot) and my friend who rode it and had the same problem is about 176lbs and is 5 foot something shortish. I say "when I last rode the bike" because I am on diet and every week I weigh less. I have lost 43lbs since the beginning of December (19 more to go). [/QUOTE]
