Consumer Description
This is a fairly well known issue for this year Triumphs, as well as other Makes/years, fitted with this type of Brembo brakes. The brakes have an inconsistent pressure issue during operation. The first pull of the brake is soft and "spongey" and takes multiple pulls to build pressure. Full bleeding of brake system, replacement of pads, etc. does not resolve the issue. this is obviously a huge safety concern as it does not allow the rider a clear and consistent braking operation, which can cause them to over/under apply the amount of necessary braking and pose a large risk to themselves as well as others on the road.
