Best bet is to get a fellow fazer rider to ride yer bike and see what they think to the brake action.
I have now ridden over 60k miles on my two fazers , and have only ever had 1 brake issue, that was years ago when the front wheel bearing collapsed and the discs kept throwing the pads off the disc, giving the lever back to the bar as you describe. Other than that , the brakes have been excellent. I had my old brake lines replaced earlier this year which was a noticeable improvement in brake power.
What I also noticed is how the hard braking at Cadwell trackday on the 30 th actually must have cleaned up the pads as the feel and power of my brakes has definitely improved.One thing is for sure, you can ride around brake issues without really noticing it , so its always best IMO to get an independant opinion. Its my reason for always getting a dealer to service the brake lines and fluid. Changing pads is a 10min job I do myself unless its brake fluid change time.
