I have the 9 and i had the same problem on my front brake lever only. back is fine.
the guy at the shop put teflon tape on the thread and this seemed to fix the problem.
as i understand it, the adjusting screw will move when vibrated. the tape inhibits this free movement. can still adjust as necessary


cheers
