I had them do this for me and so far its still pretty good. I also adjusted the brake lever a bit. There are warrantee parts for the recall, so you will need to call ahead to have them get the authorization and parts. I would not assume you could just mention it when you bring the bike in and have them have the parts available. What they might do in that situation, is bleed the system, but that would for sure just be a temp fix.

I want to say it was a good week and a half before the authorization and parts were ready to bring the bike in.

I have a 2011 Touring, I don't know if the new master cylinder for the recall I had done is already on your bike or not.

One thing you can try is to put it on center stand if you have it and adjust the linkage arm on the rear brake. I found mine set to one extreme making the lever not actually start actuating the brake until prolly 3/4 through its travel.

Do not adjust it to the other extreme however, make sure when releasing the rear brake the tire still spins freely. I found this helped quite a bit even after the service bulletin fix. Also note there is a threaded adjuster on the brake peddle that actuates the brake light, so make sure that is also set correctly after adjusting.

I found that when I finished my adjustment that brake light screw was backed all the way down flush with the pedal.
