  2. Rear brakes usually are a bit vague. I am not convinced the Mutley one is any better or worse than any other motorcycle for that.

    I use my rear brake when coming to a stop to transfer weight from compressed forks to extended forks as the police bikesafe course recommends, and on slow turns...that aside, in normal riding I dont use it much. Maybe in an odd corner if my line is not quite right.

    I have added a pedal extender, that makes things better :)

  6. I too find rear the rear brake on my Ducati and MV rather poor. Gone are the days where the weight of your foot was enough.

  7. I've found EBC HH pads make a slight improvement too.

  8. The. Multistrada has always had iffy back brakes but I find the 1260 with the pedal extender fine. You’ll find endless posts on this forum about this but the upside down rear calliper means you need to have it bled well, changing for sintered pads can help and the brake extender makes a massive difference.
