I’ve been searching old brake threads here since I really don’t like the feel of my front brakes. I have to squeeze way too hard in my opinion. Thinking of bleeding fluid and going to braided lines. Any other suggestions?
Macka - does your '09 model have linked brakes?
My red, non-abs 2010 has linked brakes. The center piston on the left front caliper is applied with the rear brakes.I know that for the US market, Linked Brakes were only offered with ABS but not sure what the other countries received.
The same as my 2013 NC700X, which has linked ABS.All the Australian models (2006-2009 and 2010-2012) had linked brakes. Linked the same as the US models, rear brake operates third caliper piston on front left of bike.

DirtFlier, you're right about ABS. It was offered on some 2010 silver bikes, but not all. There were some non-ABS silver bikes as well as the non-ABS red bikes. But all of the NTs had linked brakes, which didn't depend on ABS for their operation.What I was thinking of was that ABS was only offered on the 2010 silver bikes then the 2011 black bikes but never the red (maroon) ones.
