Meaning that the pressure seems to increase or something... so the brake point is different (earlier and harder) the second time I pull the handle. This happens all the time...
I have been to the dealer, they have checked the possibility of air in the brake system, but negative. They are claiming it is "normal" with the HyperMotard... hmmm.. hard to believe to be honest!
Can someone else confirm this behavior or tell me this is NOT normal??? When I am driving fast thru the Austrian/German/Italians alps then I would like trusty and good brakes!!
Any help would be appreciated!
Best Regards

My 2014 Ducati Hyperstrada does the same thing. Changed pads, it helped a bit but not a fix.
Took the dealer around the showroom pulling on different brake levers. Most of the ducati's felt mushy & inconsistent, Most of the BMW's felt good. He could feel the difference but was not very interested in finding a fix for the ducati. Told him I didn't care about the warranty just tell me how or what to do to fix it. I'll paid for it. They don't know I guess.
