Front Brakes really touchy

[smiley7661]

I just purchased a 2006 SX450 and one of the things that I have noticed is that they front break is very very sensitive compared to my old YZ. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so what did they do to tame it?

For starters, Brembo brakes are just better than what the Japanese bikes use.

I'd pull the caliper, and check to see if the pads are gummed up. You might
try a harder material.
