2017: “The front brake lever gets a very soft, spongy feel on the first lever pull. I have to pump my front brake before I start to ride. After pumping the brakes they feel good as long as I use them every so often. If I don't touch them for about 15 plus minutes, they go back to being spongy and soft feeling with less braking force being applied to my front brakes. I found that it gets worse the hotter the ambient temp is. This issue happens while the motorcycle is stationary or moving. …”
