Rear brake problems on S2R800. Problem Solved.

[corey]

so today i took the bike for a VERY short stroll around the block a couple times (had family stuff to do... it IS easter after all) and all seemed well.
the rear brake was very responsive, and i had a very nice pedal feel.
just for shits, i compared the pedal feel and pushrod travel to that of my girlfriends gsxr600. it's almost identical.
i think i was just being pissy about the new pedal feel..
turns out my brake actually WORKS now!
thanks for all the help guys, i feel like a mjaor dipshit.
2 page thread with almost 300 views of me trying to fix something that wasn't broken. genius.

Please don't get down on yourself at all.....given the consequences of doing it wrong being careful and cautious and seeking the advice of others was prudent.

And after taking my S2R out for a jaunt yesterday with NO rear brakes, well I'll be going through the same process but now armed with much more information.

So thanks...

no prob! hopefully this one proves to be helpful for lots of folks.
these rear brakes seem like a major pain for a lot of people.
