OK, so my front brakes felt a little weak compared to many other quads that I have ridden so I flushed them and replaced the fluid and bled them just how the manual says to do and they still feel like a sponge. The pads are pretty new still so what can I do? Here's how I bled them, tell me what I did wrong. I topped off the resivoir and capped it shut, then I squeezed the lever all the way in and held it while I opened the bleeder valve, let out a little fluid with the bubbles and closed it back up, then I let go of the lever. did it again for the other side and then topped off the fluid again at the resivoir. I can lock up the rear fine but can't even get close to locking up the fronts. Do I need to go to stainless braided lines? I'm using Belray DOT4 fluid. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
