Its true Bryan, the opposite problem is when you get on the Tuono after riding the 550, the brakes are that bloody good I nearly go over the handlebars the first time I pull the front brake on!

I couldn't get the ordinary EBC to work well.

But. Try replacing the caliper seal.


The old one could have hardened. And not retracted the piston

I did have a look at the seal John and it looked OK, but if I get further issues that will be something to check again.  I might just change the seal anyway when I get around to changing the brake pads
