I just purchased a new 2005 silver ST3 and finally got a short (80+ mile) trip in yesterday.
Everything went as expected. I definitely need to get the risers to take some pressure off my (formerly broken) left wrist.
BUT my main surprise/concern was that the rear brake had virtually no stopping power. (The front brakes by contrast were excellent.) I was mashing on the pedal about as hard as I dared and nothing was happening.
What's the deal? Is it simply breakin time needed?
Your input and insight will be much appreciated. Thanks.
