Back brake sucks

Hi. I recently changed pads on my 220. And bled the rear brake pretty good. I find the rear brake doesnt lock up and skid the tire just slows it. Is this normal for this bike?
Thanks

I highly recommend a reverse bleeder.

Agree. My 2004 220 wants to lock up the rear tire with very light brake pressure. Sounds like you need to try bleeding it again.

Was it stopping fine before the pad replacement? Did you open the bleed screw or master cylinder? The KDX rear brake is known for its less than stellar modulation...in other words it's basically locked up or not. What type of pads? Did you deglaze your disc? Need more info to really help.
