C400x front brake!

Thanks Davidh.

Bought the bike today with full service at BMW dealers! Front brake still vague but I can live with that. Very enjoyable little bike!
 
Hi Byee,
Took the C400X for a test ride as my F80GS Adventure was being serviced. Got a real shock when I applied the front brake at the lights. Almost went down to the grip. But liked it that much I traded in the 800 got the 400 serviced and rode it home. Front brake is still a bit vague but back brake very good! Wondering if this is normal or do I still have a problem? Regards, Alex
 
Alex,

Congrats on the new toy!!!

I bought my C400GT in Feb 2019. The brakes on the bike will stop on a dime with no issues with the front brakes locking up especially with the ABS.

Barry,
I only have the basic 400X model but my problem is the front brake is practically non-existent! Still love the little bike, bit of a change from my R1250gs Rallye!!

I have the c400x and the front brake is the same but I don’t think I want it as firm as the rear
When I use a combination of front then rear brake it stops perfect
 
I've had my 2019 for 8 months and picked it up with the BYBRE brake recall completed. I love the brakes! Great lever feel, exceptional stopping power. I would almost say they are overkill for a scooter. There is certainly a problem with yours.
 
Thanks for the replies lads!

Maybe it's the fact that my R1250GS has such amazing brakes but getting used to the 400X now and ,as Jbmw says, use a combination of front and rear.
