I bought a Tesla Model 3 and I absolutely love that car! I have been driving it everywhere. Unfortunately, my 2015 FJR1300 has not been getting any love lately. It sat parked and covered for six months! I cannot believe that I left it alone that long! Last month, I rode the bike from Phoenix, AZ to Sturgis, SD for the rally. Unfortunately, the rear brakes dropped pressure during the first part of the ride. When I got back, I took the FJR into the dealer since I had the extended warranty. I expected the dealer to replace the rear master cylinder under warranty. When I picked up the bike, they charged me $120 for bleeding the rear brakes and they did not replace anything. He said that it is a known issue that the FJR1300 will lose rear brake pressure if you do not ride it for a few months. He said that if you are not going to ride it, you should put a brick on the rear brake lever to maintain the pressure. WTH?
Is this true or do I need to find a different dealer/mechanic?
Thanks.
