is the R6 08 rear master cylinder a common problem?
mine feels like its a switch ... it's either on an locks up rear wheel, or it's off. Nothing in between

This can caused by some aftermarket rearsets (eg Vortex), when the angle of the piston is not dead-straight into the master cylinder. When you press the lever, does the piston move into the m/c exactly evenly, or on an angle?

Interesting comment, do you have braided lines? We were discussing the merits of oem lines on the rear brake to get a more progressive feel, just yesterday.
The 'squish' from the oem lines would make it less like a switch and give a bit more of a progressive feel to it.
I have the rear oem on my race bike and wanted to try braided on this build to see which I preferred.
