What year? the newer shape (03.9) onwards has just had a 'recall' from Mr Aprilia stating that there is not a fault but the 'sponginess' (or lack of rear brake) is down to incorrect maintenance....(Mmmm, if you say so...). You will get a letter if it's the newer shape BUT will only be a temporary cure. There are loads of threads on here about the rear brake including fixes...have a look, but personally I only need a rear brake for an MOT!!!! All the best!:devious

Rear brake is very handy for hill starts, any riding on looses surfaces, steadying the bike as you approach junctions, i don't use it for anything other than these places and mine is superb:thumbup
