Rizoma think the air pressure on your levers over a ton makes them depress a little....check this out:

(I'm not convinced)



Are you?
Some other brands have slots machined in the levers for the same reason.

My previous bike whas an aprilia rsv and there I had the feeling the front brake would work better after a long fast stretch. The theory is that the wind would push the lever and warm up the brakes.

At this years NW200 Rutter, Jessop and other BMW riders fitted a small piece of perspex to their fairings to take the wind pressure of the brake lever.
The riders found after travelling at 200mph the brake lever came back to the bars and needed a couple of pumps before it worked but the perspex cured this problem.
The stewards didn't grant them dispensation to use the perspex, even on safety grounds so they had to remove them.

Just read this on an old MCN blog.

Still recon it's a waste of money on a superduke though.
