This is a non trivial problem - it cannot be dismissed as Italian "character" and looking on other forums it seems to be a fairly common occurrence not just on 821 but Multistrada and Hypermotards as well.
If you involved in an accident and get hurt would the insurance pay out if it was found that the back brake was not working or would any potential compensation be reduced (contributory negligence)? what about if you injure someone else with your bike because you failed to stop? If you get stopped by the plod and they discover a non working brake - licence points/fine if you do not use the back brake much it may happen without your knowledge.
This is surely a recall issue?
How does an individual owner force a resolution of a "dangerous" defect through a recall?
More questions than answers - does anybody know? (another one)
