WHILE RIDING MY NEW MOTORCYCLE I COULD NOT STOP AT A STOP SIGN USING MY REAR BRAKE- I HAD A "SOFT" BRAKE. EVEN DEPRESSING THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL TO IT'S FULLEST THERE WAS NO BRAKING AT ALL. MY DEALER REPAIRED THE CONDITION BY CHANGING THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE FLUID AND ALSO FOLLOWING THE FACTORY BULLETIN ON BLEEDING THE REAR BRAKES CORRECTLY. AFTER THREE MORE RIDES AGAIN THE REAR BRAKE FAILED TO WORK - THIS TIME AT FREEWAY SPEEDS ! IN READING THE ON-LINE FORUMS AND TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE. *TR

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
