Hi Kelly , it sounds like you need to do a full strip of the front caliper
( keep more air out of the system / one or more pistons on my front caliper
are somewhat sticky ) It will transform your front brake by changing the
seals, even though the old seals may appear fine . Take it from me i've been
there, i wasted weeks trying to find out why i had a soft front brake lever,
changed my lines and even pulled the caliper apart to have it crack tested .
And the only reason i didn't change the seals, because every time i pulled
the caliper apart the seals looked like new, they were the cause of all my
troubles .
Anyway if your thinking of going down the seal change route, this should
save you some money, see below .
