Description of the problem	Within the first 90 days after purchasing my 2006 harley davidson fxstsi in mesa, arizona i started experiencing rear brake problems. I went back to the dealership i purchased it from and asked them to check it as a private shop had already looked at it for me. I had approximately 4500 miles at this time and was in need of new rear pads. Also my rear rotor was displaying a bronze or gold coloring which i was told was from overheating which usually occurred due to a warped rotor. I was told by the dealership that it was nothing unusual and they felt it was due to the way i rode my motorcycle. I was asked by the gm how i applied my brakes when stopping. I told him it was about 60% front to 40% rear (as owners manual instructs). I was told absolutely not, that it should be atleast 70%front to 30% rear. I then informed him i have been riding harley's (different models) for 15 years, life member hog and never had this problem. I told him the rear brake was catching causing my rear tire to skid and sometimes i had to kick it down two or 3 times hard to get it to release. Thus also causing my rear tire to wear rather quickly. I again taken back at about 8000 to 9000 miles told them it was doing same thing. Bike was just over a year and 2nd pair of pads needed. I now have 17,500 miles on 4 sets of rear pads and experienced a rear caliper lock up causing my bike to go into a rear wheel skid. I was able to keep the bike up luckily and safely move off the road. I had fairly new pads that are now wasted and am looking at replacing rotor, pads, caliper and any other parts as i will have a private shop do the work as i feel the dealership is inadequately staffed. Mechanics are many but only two or 3 with 5 years or more experience. Very dangerous and feel it has been due to a defective rear brake system from the start! Additionally the running lights / tail light have been blowing fuses continuously from time of purchase. Will have to have same shop track down wiring problem.
