Versys

[richfzs]

I know there's a couple of folks on here that've had a couple of versys? Are the back brakes shit as standard? We've got 3 hired ones in Thailand, and they're all the same, crap! Any info good :-)

I had one for a while and can confirm 2 things:

Yes, the back brake is shit!

And, at higher speeds it was like sitting on a vibrator! Nice, if you like that sort of thing! :rolleyes

Try setting your vibrator to low speed? :eyes

Cheers :thumbup

I've got a Versys right now. The back brake is pretty weak and the ABS seems to handicap it even further. Though that said I've not locked the back up once.


But I find that you just have to push harder! And personally I'd rather a brake that needs a little more effort than one that locks up with a feathers touch.


It's certainly not on or off like a switch though. If that's happening then something is VERY wrong!
