About a mile or so from my house the revs were back to normal when stopped in first gear. Oil temp was only about 218. First time I've had it happen so I'm not going to panic yet but I've done enough maintenance and parts installs of my own to make warranty claims a pain so I'm hoping it's just an oddity.

It's been a while but I think they said something about honing some part of the caliper. Try doing a search because I seem to remember at least one or two other threads with Fat Boy Lo's having rear break problems.

He also admitted that it was a rare and isolated incidence (no wide spread out break of any kind). I should note here that around 4 weeks ago I had the rear tire changed due to a nail puncture. At the same shop. Acknowledging that, the super tech stuttered the rest of the story, that he had to pry on the pads to remove the caliper. The pad was pushed, wedged and stuck unevenly onto the rotor! The rotor sustained some scoring, but not bad enough to be replaced. Both the caliper and pads were reset, cleaned and reinstalled. The bike was road tested for about 6 miles with nothing else to report. Everything was taken care of by the 2 year warranty. He said I should not worry too much of it. It's all fixed. Did I mentioned earlier that I had the rear tire worked on about 4 weeks ago before the problem occurred? It is too soon to tell. Meanwhile, I'm gonna take it easy on the throttle and paying extra attention to the rear brake every time my foot touches the pedal. Lesson to be learned: make sure the caliper and the pads are super clean when having the rear wheel or brake worked on. Again, the utmost important awareness to all riders: when you suddenly feel the brake goes spongy being pushed upon, safely get out of the traffic and call a real tow truck right away. Good luck to us all. Appreciate your inputs, always. Ride safe.
