i was wondering how everyone else's front brakes feel like (stock) my front brakes work pretty darn well but they feel kind of i dont know weak in a way, i have to pull the lever in pretty far for quick stopping, and the top of the lever feels soft unlike when i pull it in really hard, i have the stock rotor and new pads, i have not added nor bled the system in 6 months, is this normal or do u think there could still be some air in the lines..thanks | ||

I can tell you that i just changed my pads, still in the stock rotor as well and iv been thinking the same thing the last couple of days. I stop very well, but to stop fast i have to pull the lever pretty seriously. Your brakes sound just like mine. | ||

well i guess that must be a stock thing then, hopefully someone here will have some advice. i likle the brakes but they are not that solid feeling in at the lever, and yes the fluid is the DOT4 that is recomended for my bike. | ||

Tie a zip_tie around the brake leaver and the bars, locking the brake on over night. This allows any air bubbles in the line to pass through and rise to the surface. | ||

Cracking the bleeder valve during this gravity bleed procedure will allow bubbles not in the line to escape. |
