OK here is the deal.
I replaced the front brake pads, brake rotors, and brakes lines all at the same time (Galfer brand all around) on my z400. I bled the system and replaced with new fluid as well. The brake lever was very very spongy so I bled the system again. No better. Even after I bled the system at least 3 times and made 110% sure no air is in there I still have a spongy brake lever response. I can pull it all the way in to the grip. There is "some" resistance but it never really applies full braking force until it is near the grip.
What could it be?
Could the calipers be bad? I checked the piston and it seemed worked fine.
The brake feel was fine before I swapped out the parts (I had a bad rotor).
The lines are tight and not leaking.
This is driving me nuts!!!! :mad:
Any one have any suggestions on what or where to look at?
