MY FIRST ISSUE WAS ROUGHLY ONE MONTH AGO. THE NEXT RIDE AFTER MY FIRST TRACK DAY AT (THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPENED AT THE HIGH SPEEDS OF THE TRACK WITH OTHER RIDERS ALL AROUND). CAME INTO A CORNER WITH TWO RIDERS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND AND HAD TO TAKE THE TURN HOT WHEN I REALIZED MY BRAKE LEVER WAS AWFULLY SOFT. PULLED TO THE FAR RIGHT, DOWNSHIFTING AND USING THE REAR BRAKE, TO LET THE OTHER RIDERS PASS... SURE ENOUGH PATCH OF SAND IN THE FAR RIGHT OF THAT NEXT CORNER, SWEPT THE BIKE OUT FROM UNDER ME. GET HOME, CLEAN THE DUST OFF AND START CHECKING EVERYTHING ON THE BIKE FIGURING IT WAS STRANGE BUT IT HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE AND RIGHT AFTER THE CRASH, THE BRAKES WERE FINE! NO ABS LIGHT EITHER. BLED THE BRAKES WHEN WE GOT HOME, HAVE BEEN RIDING HER SINCE WITHOUT ISSUE. STARTED BUYING REPLACEMENT PARTS, PUT ON SOME ENGINE SLIDERS AND ORDERED THE NEW CLUTCH SIDE ENGINE CASE ALONG WITH NEW BODYWORK, CLIP ONS, NEW LEVERS, NEW EXHAUST, VESRAH RJL PADS, GALFER ROTORS, BRAIDED BRAKE LINES. NONE OF THESE PARTS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ENGINE SLIDERS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON THE BIKE. YESTERDAY, ON MY WAY IN TO WORK JUST BEFORE THE LAST TWO TURNS MY ABS LIGHT STARTED FLASHING MADLY. TEST THE BRAKES, THEY'RE WORKING... BUT THE FRONT IS SOFT... GET TO THE TURN AND WHADAYA KNOW, NO FRONT BRAKE. COLD-DAMP MORNING, AND MY COMMUTE IS ONLY 6 MILES = COLD TIRES. DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD TO FIRST, TIRE SLIDES, HIT THE REAR BRAKE TO SCRUB MORE SPEED, TIRE SLIDES AGAIN. NARROWLY MISSED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND BARELY KEPT FROM CROSSING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, I JUMPED ONTO THE 1000RR FORUMS AND STARTED READING. (HTTP://WWW.1000RR.NET/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=69868&PAGE=22) NOW I KNOW HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AS THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING PARTS AND MOTORCYCLES WHILST MAKING OWNERS SIGN NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS.
