I DID A 300-MILE MOTORCYCLE TRIP OVER THE WEEKEND, JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND I TOOK MY NEW MOTORCYCLE IN FOR ITS 1000 MILE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE MONDAY. WHEN DROPPING IT OFF, I NOTICED THE REAR BRAKE FELT A LITTLE SOFTER THAN BEFORE, BUT WAS STILL OPERABLE.

ADDITIONALLY, HE SHOWED ME THAT THE PART WAS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC.
