OVER SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES THE REAR BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY INCREASES TRAVEL, AND THEN GOES TO THE STOP AND DOES NOT ENGAGE THE REAR BRAKE AT ALL.

2012 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200 S TOURING. HAS NO REAR BRAKE. DUCATI INSTALLED "THE REAR BRAKE KIT" WHICH IS SOME SORT OF UPGRADE. THIS PROVIDED A VERY TEMPORARY FIX, THE REAR BRAKE WORKED BETTER THAN STOCK, BUT THEN QUICKLY RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL STATE- NO REAR BRAKE. THIS MOTORCYCLE WAS PURCHASED IN MID AUGUST 2012, THE REAR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. DUCATI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, THAT IS WHY THEY INSTALLED "THE KIT". THE REAR BRAKE SHOULD WORK, IT HAS LESS THAN 1500 MILES ON IT, IT'S A NEW MOTORCYCLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
