Hi guys,
yesterday i was driving with an old suzuki gsx-r (also nissin brake system).
Now early morning i was driving with mine,
and had to realize that my brake point is not like perfect, like the suzukiīs one.

If i press the brake lever, itīs klicking (brake-light switch), then the brake-pads grinds on the brake disc, and if i pull little more the brakes blocks and the bike is standing (cant move forward)-(tested if i sit on my bike and roll on with me feet).

So my brake fluid was changed 3 days ago with a vacuum machine by an professional,
(no air bubbles inside!) so there should be not the problem - cause the brake point is stable (if i pull the lever, it will not yield!)

Is this just normal at the ZTL brakes, that the brakes / brake point is not agressiv like a suzukiīs one?

On my dad bikes (Moto Guzzi), itīs also like at the suzuki (pull the lever, and if it klicks /brake-light switch/ the bike is standing (almost no grind feeling on the brake disc - just a agressiv STOP)...

My brake lever is adjusted at level 1 (shortest way to brake / most agressiv adjustment).
I also use the original brake pads (1500 miles on it)

Please let me know if this is normal at the ZTL2 brakes, or if i should urgently drive to my dealer...

Thanks guys, i hope that the way i described my problem is understandable.
(Iīm not an englisch/american people)
