In an emergency (caused mostly by me), it's almost impossible to bring the bike to a stop without locking up the rear, and this happens on bitumen too!

The bike's only done 5000 miles so I would imagine that they are the original brake pads.

Any ideas??
Try bleeding a little bit of air into the system, I do this on my WR as I have a habit of riding the rear brake.
