It's All In The Reflexes!
So before I bought my 2020 Rocket it was on the showroom floor for around 8 months. I kept trying to lowball them and they kept declining. After 8 months they threw in the Panniers and rack and dropped the price a few cents so I bought it. I asked, after reading on this forum about rear brake bleeds for the newer gen Rockets. The salesman stated it was already done. I should have dug in further and asked for documentation but I didn't. I bought the Rocket and after less than a year I needed 'another' brake bleed. Now 16 months later I need another. I was out riding today using the brakes like we all do with 80% to 90% front and maybe 10% to 20% rear. I have noticed in the last 150 miles it getting spongy but I was hoping it wasn't what I knew it was. Nope, it went right to the floor (imaginary floor) when checking it out on a backroad rear brake only. Since I'm out of warranty by 4 months I wonder if they will honor the 8 month old bleed and fix it for free or bone me full bore. Both front and rear pads look great. I planned on going in and getting the oil changed in a week or so but that's only if I can get money from the blood bank and sperm bank this month.
