Consumer Description

Back Brake pedal locks up at times locking the rear brakes and seems to lock the left front brake. Have had back brakes replaced and front pads replaced. The issue happened within one week of purchasing the bike used from a Florida Dealership. When the brakes lock up, you are almost thrown from the bike. Front left pads wear to the metal while the right side is barely worn. Sometimes, the brake pedal just goes all the way down and I have nothing. This would probably KILL a rookie rider. I also ride a 2008 Honda Goldwing with 96,000 miles. I bought it new. Both have LINKED brakes. I have never had an issue with my Honda. This is definitely a SERIOUS issue on the Kawasaki. It has apx. 32,000 miles. This should be on the RECALL list for a replacement rod on the rear master cylinder. DEATH TRAP. I am an experienced rider with easily 250,000 miles driven. Please advise.
