2005 K1200S Brake question
- Thread starter bige1340
- Start date
Yes, linked. Front lever operates both, rear does rear only.
Both our S's had minimal rear brake feel when using them solo, always wondered about how the bias was set. The first time I stopped at our roadside mailbox and applied the rear in gravel...I rolled past it by a long shot.
The front pads are sintered metal, the rear isn't specified in the fiche as to composition spec.

The rear pads on mine were sintered which tended to groove up the disc after a period of time. I replaced the disc and also changed pads to organic. End of problem with no downside. As well, the brakes are servo-assisted. Its critical that they be bled/flushed at regular intervals.

Same thing for the K1300S.
