Rear Brake

[Edmund Kean]

Picked up a new 1250 yesterday and was quite surprised by the rear brake. Feels like it’s linked to the front; anyone know.

If you apply the rear brake, both wheels will slow down,so it is linked.

 

[leadfarmer]

Yes the back brake is linked, and so is the front

I thought front brake linked to rear, but rear brake when applied is independent of front ,

When on the rear brake only it’s so strong I feel sure it be linked to the front. If it is linked, I wonder if it can be made independent.

The reply was going to be RTFM, but that would make me a cnut...

Didn’t think to look under ABS but thanks for the advice and screen print. FLAFC for doing it as I could have done 120 miles in that time.
