Consumer Description

My bike has the same issue as many other Triumph Thruxton 1200Rs with a soft initial brake application. The first time that the brakes are applied, there is extra travel and a softer lever feel. After the first application, a subsequent application has a shorter travel. I reported this to a dealer early on, and they stated that they did not find anything out of spec. This is not a normal thing as none of my other motorcycles have ever had this issue. The brake system is supposed to be consistent from first to subsequent brake applications.
