The stock FZ07 brake pads are junk. Both front and rear. If you ride pretty aggressively you're about to notice the bike taking longer and longer to slow down. Brakes feel spongy until eventually it gets dangerous trying to stop fast from high speed. I can't imagine it's just my bike that has bad brakes...and re bleeding the brakes does not fix it. The pads don't look glazed at all so my opinion is that the pad material Yamaha chose is just cheap.
I changed the pads to EBC and now it's 80% better....and stops way better than it did when new. Keep an eye on your brakes.
