Currently having a great time touring the Dolomites. However having some problems with brake fade when travelling enthusiastically down some of the longer mountain passes (2 up with luggage)-brake lever needing to come back fully to the bar to get any significant braking effect. Of course also using engine braking (infact would have been a serious problem if I wasn't ) Problem disappears once brakes had time to cool.
Had the bike serviced just before I left UK - including brake fluid change. Brakes feel OK in normal use i.e in the UK- just seem to object to heavy use on downhill mountain passes, but would have expected modern brake systems to cope with such usage.
Any one else had similar problems?
