My older brother is complaining his V7 rear brake is wooden - no feeling or braking power.
Appears to be bled well, hard pedal.

Pad material?

Suggestions?
 
Might just be dirty pistons. Try removing the caliper and clean them. See if the pads are hard to push back into the caliper.
 
Pads and/or disk as noted above... did it just start happening? I find most of them all this way as delivered.
 
He bought a 2nd hand bike, 12 months old, 3,000km.
Its just the feel .........................
I serviced it for him several weeks ago.
This morning he mentioned "jerky" throttle, so I've adjusted the free play. Big improvement.

Back to the back brake;
Are you blokes using HH pads or something similar for better feel/power/control?

Hi ghezzi - after I failed to adequately tighten the oil filler cap on my 2007 Nevada after my first oil check and consequently doused whole left side of bike with oil, I replaced rear brake pad with one described as "MGear Brake Pad organic" purchased from Metal Gear in Brisbane (www.metalgear.com.au) - works well for me.

Cheers - lofty
