The front brakes of the machine are inconsistent in how much lever effort is required to get the bike to stop. At slow speed, there is sometimes not braking force when pulling the brake lever. At slow speed, there is sometimes a tremendous amount of braking force when pulling the lever. At high speeds, the brakes are often good and work as expected. At high speeds, sometimes the brakes don't work and require you to release the brake lever and pull the lever again. The vehicle is available for inspection. My safety and the safety of others are at great risk when operating this vehicle. The vehicle has been inspected and serviced by a franchise dealer. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. This issue was present around 500 miles into ownership, approximately 2 months after purchase.
