2019 kx450 rear brake is too strong. It's easy to lock it up and even stall the engine. How can I make it weaker? I've considered shortening the brake lever, but that would also move the pedal back. Are there brake pads with less friction?

*New fluid is always a good idea on new bikes as well, though it may not help with your current situation. Old school front brake trick by leaving a zip-tie on it overnight with increasing pressure also seems to help the Kawi's more so than other brands...

If anything, my 19 is much harder to stall than my 16 was because it is mapped much better. I used to stall that 16 out all the time!
