had a similar problem on my SSie - lowsided it at brands breaking the front brake lever and the only brake lever i could find was an aprilia mille one which is also brembo and was told identical - fitted it but brakes would pump up and then lock - fun ride home! the cure was to get a Ducati lever and it is to do with that grub screw being in the right place - don't know the mechanics(hydraulics) of it and what it actually does, but it was cured immedeately.

I think that this may not be a problem at the factory, but with the dealer that put the bike together. I would have thought that if you where to PDI the bike, that would be one of the main checks?

Pedro where do get your avitar from You might have your own after this weekend

If you've not had a problem then yeah, you'll have to pay. However, if yu said you'd noticing them sticking occasionally they'd have to check them for free???

What's this about 'offically' recognised??? Do you mean it's been unofficially recognised?????

dseered
ive seen no official complaints before now
but the events of the last week between me and tf are causing big concern.!..as you can imagine.

They'll know about it either this way or via my dealer. DM have been talking to the UK technical people...
