Here's one that has me scratching my head...
Front brake lever started getting soft. I checked fluid, bled the brakes (3 times), replaced pads even though I still had miles left on the existing. On one bleed, my friendly wrench even drew the fluid out of the master cylinder using a syringe, then forced it back through the bleeder valve up into the master cylinder to eliminate any possibility of air in the lines.
Now here's the issue...
I have plenty of lever when the bike is on the sidestand. I can squeeze it and hold it with no fade. Immediately after setting the bike upright, the lever goes to the grip and I have to pump it to get pressure. If I pump, then hold, again no fade. Brakes work well. Next time I grab them, same thing, I have to pump once or twice.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
TIA
