What owners report

2021-02-02, Service Brakes
SOFT FRONT BRAKE LEVER THAT CONSTANTLY RETURNS AFTER MULTIPLE BRAKE BLEEDS. FIRST PULL OF THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER IS SOFT, FOLLOWED BY A MORE FIRM SECOND PULL. HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR WHEN MOVING.
2020-11-29, Service Brakes
FRONT BRAKE LEVER IS ALWAYS VERY SOFT ON FIRST PULL AND PRODUCES REDUCED BRAKING ABILITY. THE LEVER IS FIRM ON THE SECOND PULL AND THE FRONT BRAKES OPERATE AND STOP PROPERLY. I USUALLY SQUEEZE THE LEVER TWICE TO STOP, BUT THAT COULD TAKE TOO LONG IN AN EMERGENCY STOP.
2020-10-28, Service Brakes
THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER'S TRAVEL DECREASES UP TO ONE INCH WHEN NOT IN USE IN AS LITTLE AS 2 DAYS OF INACTIVITY. BLEEDING OF SYSTEM'S BRAKE FLUID, CLEANING OF PISTONS AND SEAL REPLACEMENT HAVE BEEN PERFORMED BUT NO PERMANENT CHANGE.
