Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I bought the bike new in June 2021. Since new, The front brake, on first pull, has limited effect, it needs to be pumped using several pulls to have the expected power. I had the dealer look at it, they agreed and bled the brakes which fixed the problem for a couple of days, then it reverted to the same poor operation. I was accepting of it until the other day; a car pulled in front of me, I had to emergency stop and nearly got the car - the little bit of time to pump the brakes up is potentially impactful. These are brembo brakes, they should work better than nearly anything around. Brief background; this is my 17th bike, been riding for 40+ years and have never encountered this issue on past machines.
