Ok I have had this 08 zx14 bout 2 months and I notice the back brake will lock some times when I apply med pressure has not been big deal I just use a lil of both brakes to slow her down . Long story short I let my buddy ride and he did not know bout breaks he was trying to slow down in front of the house and sleed 6 feet and when I wad going threw a turn today I taped the brake and the tire slides its not locking its sliding as if u were pushing all u could on the rear brake any help would be nice

maybe you need to change fluids and pads + clean the rotator.

There have been times that a glazed rotor will be a little grabby. If you scotchbrite the rear rotor, also check the pads. If they had been contaminated then cleaning the rotor will do nothing.

Use 400 grit wet/dry on the contact area. It will remove any old pad material from the disk. If it's locking up with almost no pressure your brake hose may be bad keeping the fluid from returning from the caliper when you let off the brake pedal.
