Suzuki Access: Getting the best brakes possible
I have been driving a Suzuki Access 125 for about 5 months. I drive it pretty fast (about 50 kmph) and recently took it on a ride and pushed it beyond what is was intended to do (about 90 kmph). Already I am noticing that the brakes seem "soft" -- they're not responding as fast as I would like, and it seems to take a lot to get them to fully engage. Not that I have to brake suddenly a lot, but I'm a bit concerned about it. Maybe it's just that I started out driving slow so didn't notice as much, and am more used to drive a car, but I definitely want to make sure it's riding at 100%.
Anyway, I'm due for another servicing, and will have them check everything, but thought I would ask here first: Are there any improvements that can be made to get the best braking power possible? I obviously don't want to stop so hard I fly off the bike, but I want to be able to trust the brakes if I need them as well -- and not replace the brake pads every 6 months!
