From searching it would seem that Ducati/Brembo has an issue with making rear brakes that actually brake. Unfortunately every thread I've found degenerated within the first few posts into "you shouldn't be on your rear brake so much" or "the rear brake isn't supposed to work, let me go back to jerking off on my Ducati Performance tube socks".
Anyway. The rear brake on my 1100S is absolutely worthless, won't even keep the bike from rolling down my driveway unless I have my full weight on it, let alone lock up the rear wheel for funsies which I sometimes like to do.
I've bled it a few times (and I use some high-dollar fluid), the pads aren't glazed over, calipers don't need rebuilt, etc. etc. etc. If it was some normal shit I'd have fixed it already.
Has anybody figured out what the common issue seems to be? Is the piston diameter or stoke too small/short or something? Are there Jap bikes with Nissin or Tokico brakes use the same bolt spacing for the master cylinder we could borrow from? What's the fix for this?
