Did you figure out the problem?
I'm gonna review my tapes and see if I can see any difference in the bike before and after they worked on it. I'll get back with ya.
If you still have your bike and it has a center stand; put it up on it and get it in gear (running) and then have someone pull in the clutch and step on the rear brake; while you're looking underneath near the rear wheel/caliper assembly. Maybe that'll help you pinpoint the problem...

After having the recall done, and having read this post I went out to experiment. At moderate speeds (40-50 kph) if I apply the rear brake sharply I notice a slight "thump" as the decceleration actuates the front brake through the link system. The thump comes from the front, but can almost be felt through the brake pedal. I would presume this was always the case, just didn't notice as I didn't go looking for it... and I don't use the brakes in that manner under normal riding.
