Oh c'mon... the AT brake needs no optimisation, unless you have an RD03, of
course.
Or you can do it like Laszlo, the Africa Twin Club Switzerland's cashier:
take an RD03 and make sure you can get hold of RD04-fork legs and front
wheel :-)
If anyone encounters problems with the twin-disc front brake, replace the
brake fluid and make sure that there is absolutely no more air in the brake
system. This will give you a well-performing brake with a crisp-clear
accent on the brake lever...
Then you can go and eat the brake pads away with stoppies... or have a ride
don an alpine pass with passenger and bags like you've never had a ride
before. Your arms will hurt from holding yours and maybe even your
passenger's weight!
Be careful with other pads than the originals... some of them may surprise
you with excellent performance, but keep an eye on brake fading. But most
will surprise you by eating the disc(s) away...
