Soft brake pedal on 2023 Ryker 600 with 1,000km - is this normal?

No, it shouldn't do that. Likely there's air in the line, so bleeding should fix it; at worst, it'll be moisture/condensation in the fluid, which will mean new fluid. I wouldn't ride it until you've sorted it.

It's NEW, don't play with it.
It's a dealer problem.
You mess with it and something goes wrong, guess who gets blamed.

Dealer can’t look at it until the end of August, guess I should have brought a more reliable three wheeler like a Tuk Tuk.

Sorry you are having this issue. Rykers are reliable enough but certainly not immune to mechanical failure... no machine is! It is annoying the dealer can't see it quicker. Assuming it's a warranty issue, I'd be on the Dealers door step demanding better service. If it isn't, any half decent bike mechanic should be able to bleed the brakes for you to rule that in or out.

The Ryker is a reliable machine. If you'd purchased a Tuk Tuk and it started doing the same thing. You'd be wishing you'd purchased a Ryker.

If there is air in the lines (the most likely possibility). That's probably not going to be a warranty issue. Not that a good dealership wouldn't make this repair on a new machine for free. But not a guarantee by any means. Why there is air in the lines, if that is the issue, could be a different matter. Faulty master cylinder or caliper would fall into this category.

Check your fluid level. If it's down, you may have a leak somewhere. Check for leaks. It's possible a line did not get tightened properly and it's vibrated lose (Not likely) or got damaged if you've been off roading. Maybe they didn't fill your reservoir properly and pad wear has brought the brake fluid level low enough to suck some air.

Pump the brake pedal and see if it pumps up. Then hold it and see if it slowly goes down. All of these actions can be done now and for free. It might lead you to a solution without involving the dealer. And you'll learn something about your ride, at the very least.

It could be better than waiting 3 weeks for a dealer to spend 5 minutes to fix it and charge you an hours labor.
